Friendship Cause Heartbreaks Too

Chapter - 22

Gradually, I started talking to new people on the center and some of them became good friends.

And then, our results were out. I checked it, and I had scored 10 cgpa!

The same was Vickie's. I was very happy.

We were invited to the school to celebrate the great result and to have some sweets and all.
We went there and clicked pictures with the principal and other teachers.

Talia was a very simple girl with a very simple dressing sense. But that day, she was wearing a very different and a little exposing top.
Something similar to Alice. Alice was the fashionable one.

Shirley and Talia had always given Vickie the priority, all the attention, did her every work, even when she would yell at them.

But that day, she back-bitch about Talia. How she was wearing a bad top and how she had gone crazy to wear such a thing.

I didn't see any problem with the top. She was looking nice and it wasn't even bad. It was actually good.

I didn't know what to say, so I just hummed.

Though, the result was very nice, my teachers were not happy. I could see the disappointment in Mrs. Neela's eyes. She was disappointed in me. In my behavior, in my choice of friends, etc.

She knew I wasn't the same person anymore. And I knew that she knew that, so I couldn't meet eyes with her. And with all the others. Because they were as much aware of it as her.

We asked about the documents as to "when would they be ready and when can we collect them?"

They told us to come after a few days.

I went to her house to study since we had same subjects. Except maths.

But instead of studying, we talked. A lot. She told me about Shaun.

She said, "He has told me about his family too. Like come on he has to be serious about us if he can tell me about his family. Right?"

I didn't know what to reply to her. It was all new to me. Her discussing about her boyfriend all of a sudden, after not even telling me about him. So I said, "Of course"

And then she talked about how good he was, and all the things about him.

It was like he wasn't there but still he was present somehow.

My parents weren't home for a week.
And Vickie told me she wanted to meet Shaun since he was coming here.

She told me to go with her. At first I denied her, but then I agreed.

I went to her house and she was all set to go, new clothes, perfect hairstyle and all. She told her mother we were going to meet Alice.

We went to a restaurant. And he came there. We ordered pizza. It wasn't my choice.

When I told her I didn't like it, she just whispered to me to shut up. And I did.
