DQ#1 Thousand Reasons Why

An Explanation

Aradhya's POV

" Thanks for helping me yesterday." I turned to see Susan. I looked at her weirdly. She was thanking me?!! Weird change. I didn't expect that from her.

" It's ok." I said and walked out of there. Cause, Asher warned me about them several times. I walked into the class and sat next to Jordana.

" What's wrong with you today?" Whitney asked me.

" Susan just thanked me while back." I said.

" What?!! Why?" Juliet asked from behind.

" I helped her yesterday." I said.

" What kind of help?" Gabi asked me.

I looked around. Asher and Ardeyn were talking to their teammates. There is going to be an interschool soccer tournament. We all are very excited about that. I explained the girls what happened yesterday.

" Good that you helped her. Otherwise she would be humiliated badly. People still makes fun of this kind of stuff. Unbelievable!!" Heidi said.

" She deserves to be humiliated." Gabrielle said. " But not that way for sure."

" She still acts immature but I think everything will be ok soon." I said to her.

" Yup." Whitney said.

" How is the preparation for the interschool soccer tournament going on?" I asked the girls.

" I don't know. The boys know that well." I said to her.

" I am very excited about the tournament anyways." I said.

" We will win the tournament." Gabi said excitedly.

" Are you playing on the team?" I asked her and she chuckled wrapping her arm around my shoulder.

" I wish I could!!!" Gabi said and I chuckled ruffling her hair. I just love Gabi's golden blonde hair. She looks like a Barbie doll with shiny blonde hair.

" Oh, I forgot to ask, Lattie!!! What has Damien told yesterday? Why had he called everyone?" I asked Juliet. She sighed deeply.

" He wanted to discuss about her relationship with Tina. He wants to make it official." Juliet said and I glared at her. She rolled her eyes.

" Why did you think that he will drag you into a trouble?" I asked her.

" Cause, I know how sensitive my family is about me. And they don't like Ardeyn." She said looking at Ardeyn who was giving instructions to his teammates. I sighed deeply.

" Time will change everything, Lattie. No worries. This will end up one day." I said to her.

" I hope it ends up in a positive way." Juliet said.

" Think positive, Lattie." Gabi said.

" I do try to think positive. But I don't know why I am not going to think any happy ending of my story." Juliet said mindlessly.

" What are you taking about, Lattie?" Heidi asked her.

" Talking nonsense." Whitney said and Jordana chuckled.

" Time will say what is alotted for you. What is alloted can not be blotted." Jordana said and I nodded.

" True. I didn't know that you are this sensible, Jordy." Gabi said dramatically clapping her hands. I chuckled.

" There are a lot to do today. Classes then to attend the labs and complete the assignments. I told this lazy girl to complete the assignment from last week. She was like there is time. There is time. Now see?! We have to submit it tomorrow." Whitney said pointing Jordana.

" There is time and there is Asher." Jordana said. I rolled my eyes.

" He is busy with the soccer practice. We shouldn't pressurize him with more load on him. Talk sense." Whitney said and I nodded.

" Let's do it ourselves." I said to Jordana and she pouted making a 'I am an innocent newborn baby' face. I chuckled.

" It will be fun. Come to my place this evening. It will be a bit uncomfortable to stay at my place as it is too small for us all but you guys won't be bored." I said to them.

" Everything is comfortable with you, Ari. If there is accommodation problem then we can sleep on the floor." Gabi said and I rolled my eyes.

" We are actually big in number." Juliet said.

" No worries. We will manage, Ari. But can we have some biriyani?" Whitney asked and I chuckled.

" Yes, with minimum spices." I said to her.

" But it doesn't taste bad either." Juliet said and I sighed deeply.

" You have to struggle to live in India if you are left there." I said to them. Whitney chuckled.

" You know I love Sejal's foods. They actually categorized their food into spicy and non spicy groups. Spicy foods for Indians and non spicy foods for native people." Jordana said and I chuckled.

" They have a rich and flavourful menu. Tasty and healthy as well." I said.

" Yeah, one day the word will know the Sejal's Dine because it was Ari's workplace. One day Ari will be world famous woman. Then people will visit Sejal's Dine to see where she used to work." Gabi said and I chuckled.

" Or who knows!!! May be Ari has to work there rest of her life!!!" I said to them laughing. " I want one day I can make my mother the happiest woman in the world!!

" One day you will be able to do so, Ari. We all believe that." Whitney said and I chuckled.

I am happy that I found out friends like them. Otherwise I started to believe that the world is selfish. So selfish. Usually we meet the wrong people and start to think that they are the right one for us and when they cheats on us we start to believe that everyone is just like them which is not true. That happens when we meet the wrong person.

" I don't know. But I want to." I said to them.

" You will one day." Gabi said.

" Hey, girls!!! What's up!!" Ardeyn asked sitting next to Gabi. Juliet moved a bit and let Asher sit next to her.

" How is the preparation going on for the interschool soccer tournament?" I asked Ardeyn. He chuckled.

" We started the practice session. But our coach is sick these days." Ardeyn said.

" Captain Ardeyn is here. No need to have any coach." Gabi said and Ardeyn rolled his eyes.

" When is the tournament going to start?" Whitney asked.

" Do you live in the Mars?" Juliet asked her.

" In two weeks." Asher said. I sighed deeply. Why does he talks this less!!! I hate this one thing about Asher. He talks like his words are limited for each day and he is saving them. I shook my head.

I completed my classes and did my job. When I went back home I found Mom already at home.

" Hi, Mom!?" I said.

" Are you hiding anything from me, Ari?" Mom asked me. I looked at her weirdly.

" What are you talking about, Mom?" I asked her and she showed me a picture of mine working in the restaurant. I looked at her weirdly. Who told her about this!!! " Can you explain this?" She asked me and I sighed.
