"So, what's the end game here?" She remarked as she stood next to her.

"I have no bloody idea, really."  Simran said, looking up at Shruti.

"You better make up your mind who do you want," Shruti continued. "Because I love him, Sims. You were the past and I respect that, I really do."

"But you aren't part of his future, I am."

"Hi!" Meera walked up to Gia as she took her books out of her locker. "I'm Meera."

"Hey!" She smiled back. "You're the new student! I'm in the junior year too, so most of your classes would be with me."

"You weren't there at the beginning of the school year?" Meera asked, curiously.

"I'm usually absent on the first few days." She shrugged. "When your mother is a fashion powerhouse and needs to attend New York Fashion Week with her daughter, you tend to have to drop everything and run." She laughed, Meera laughing along as well.

"That sounds amazing, really." She sighed enviously.

She couldn't even fathom having that much of wealth. People just flew half way across the world to see some people walk on the runway and here she was, going to school. Some people just had it all, really.

"So, should we head to class?" Gia put her bag on her shoulders and gestured to her.

"Let's."

"Why is Virat's newest fling hanging out with Gia, out of all the people attending this school?" Jasprit asked Simran on the phone, as soon as she picked up.

"Wait, what?" She stammered. Why was Meera talking with Gia, was she absolutely stupid or just plain insane?

"Fix it, Simran." He sternly said, moving to cut the call when Simran meekly replied.

"No."

"What did you say?"

"I said no, Jasprit. Don't you realise what's happening here? You're using me! You don't love me, not anymore and I know why you don't." She paused. "I don't love myself after what I did, even! But you've got to believe me when I say it's not all my fault, please Jasprit, please."

"You were also saying sorry when I caught you sucking Virat's dick while Anushka was recording the entire thing."

"I --." She stammered.

"And you also said sorry when you weren't going to do it again but the next time you did it, I was in the floor below." Jasprit coldly remarked.

"Anushka blackmailed me!" She sobbed. "She was going to send the video to my parents!"

"Did you even think about me when she threatened you?" He asked. "She didn't ask you to do it that very second, did she? She gave you two days, Simran. You just thought Virat was better than me."

"Please, please."

"You're right." He said. "I don't love you. All my love vanished the second I saw my fucking girlfriend fucking one of my other friends."

"But Virat --" She hiccuped.

"I know the sick game he plays. I also know that he takes consent. Him and Anushka both do, don't they?" He laughed. "So the first time it wasn't a threat from them. You wanted to do it because you thought poor Jasprit wouldn't find out. You'd get into the bed of the hottest guy in school and I would be none the wiser."

"So, do it or not, I really don't care." Jasprit said. "I've moved on."

He cut the call.

Her heart broke for the last time.

The tragic backstory of Simran and Jasprit, really. You guys must have thought it was something else entirely - but it was just Simran being a hoe.

Also, grateful of the people who've come back to read this :) you guys are the MVP, really!

What's going to happen next?
I don't know why I left this, writing this is insane! And I'm having so much fun, ngl☺️
