DQ#1 Thousand Reasons Why

His Girl?!!

Aradhya's POV

" She is Jessy and she is Lyla and they are her team members." Ardeyn introduced us a group of woman. I looked at him weirdly.

" But why are they here?" I asked him.

" Oh, they are here to ensure the security of you guys." He said and I rolled my eyes.

" Who is going to attack us?" I asked him.

" No one knows the future, girl. So, don't whine. It's better to be aware of things." He said and I sighed.

" But we are not that famous and no one knows if it would work or not." Whitney said.

" My dear Queen of England, you never know what is going to be happened in next 5 minutes. You never know." Ardeyn said and I nodded.

At the same time Asher entered the school auditorium with Susan following him. I glared at the girl Susan. Why is she following Asher all the time?!! Why the hell is she?!! I hold the water bottle tightly with all my strength.

" It will be crushed." Juliet said to me and I glared at her. She chuckled winking at me.

It was our highschool graduation day today. We were sitting in the middle of the auditorium. There was a big crowd along with the students and guardians there were our teachers and other guests presented there. It was a big day for me. For all of us there was no doubt about that. I was nervous awhile back but now I am burning. I kept silent. Lyla and Jessy went out of there after awhile. I sighed deeply.

Mom was sitting there with Mrs. Brentwood and other guardians on the front row. She turned to see me and I smiled at her to assure that everything was ok. I sighed inwardly. My friends were talking and I tried to find out Asher. But I couldn't. May be he was talking to the teachers. The most favorite student of all the teachers. I bet they are going to miss him a lot. I saw Susan sat with her friends. I was a bit relived that Asher wasn't with her. I smiled.

" Hey, Ari!!!" I found Eros. I looked at him flatly.

Since he lied to me about his grandmother 2 years back I have never ever talked to him again. He tried to talk to me but I didn't give him any chance for that. He was a vicious person.

" Hello, Eros." I said to him flatly.

" Congratulations on your graduations!!" He said to me.

" Thanks and same to you." I said to him.

" Thank you. Are you waiting for someone?" He pointed the chair next to me which was empty. It was for Asher. Not for him.

" Am I late, guys?" Asher asked sitting next to me and I took a sigh of relief.

" Oh, hey, Asher!!!" Eros said.

" Hi, Eros!!! What's up?" Asher said to him.

" Everything's good. What about you?" He asked Asher.

" Good." Asher said and Eros walked away. I sighed.

" Guys!!! What are you talking about? Tell us too? We also want to laugh like monsters like you are doing?" Asher asked them. They rolled their eyes.

" Don't roll your eyes. They may stuck on an awkward position." I said to them and laughed. They joined me.

" I am so excited." Juliet said.

" I am so nervous." Gabi said.

" I am so happy." Heidi said.

" I am very confused." Whitney said.

" I am very sad." I said rolling my eyes dramatically.

" I am so relaxed. No more studies." Jordana said chuckling.

" You guys are very crazy and almost mad." Ardeyn said and we glared at him.

The graduation party started and we pay our attention on it. I was waiting for my turn to deliver the graduation speech and soon it arrived. I smiled at everyone and walked toward the stage very comfortably. It wasn't a big deal for me. My teachers were encouraging me and I smiled.

" Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Well, if you guys don't know me I would love to introduce myself at first. My name is Aradhya Roy not Arada which most of you pronounce it." I said smilingly and everyone chuckled. " And we went to highschool together. Yes, it was fun no?!" I said and they laughed again. " We had a lot of difficulties when we were in the classroom along with geography which I hated the most." I said and everyone laughed. " Anyways, we made it agaibst all the odds. So, we deserve a big round of applause." I said and clapped. Everyone followed me.

" Congratulations, everyone. I am really proud of ourselves that we made it. This day had to come one day. So, there are mixed feelings among the students. Some are ecstatic about the graduation and some are still emotionally attached. Anyways, I am very relieved cause, I still hate geography and I am sorry Ms. Greene I used to sleep in most of your classes though you praised me highly for my excellent performance in Geography but it made me wide awake all night and I had many sleepless night but I am so grateful to you that I have a great knowledge of Geography now even if I hate it. You made me learn that if the road ahead is hard to walk then make your own path to walk and reach your goal and I did it. Thanks for a great lesson of life which helped me a lot." I said and everyone laughed. I smiled.

" It was a great experience for me to be in this school. I have made friends, had great time with them and learnt many things which helped me to develop myself. I am grateful that I have been here and spend some beautiful times with some beautiful people." I said and everyone clapped. " I always believe that beauty lies inner self. Beauty is something which is true, original, and peaceful and I have found the true meaning of it and I am happy for that. So, now this is the time for us to decide what we want to do. If we want to be recognized by the whole world or a few. We have to understand ourselves which we have been told all these years. We should know that life is not going to give us options, we have to make it for ourselves." I said. Everyone cheered.

" I think that's all I had to say. Thank you for being patience and listening my words. I hope they guide you in a positive way but even if they guide you in a negative way I am not going to take the responsibilities." I said chuckled and they laughed. " Thank you." I said and walked down the stage.

The graduation party ended and Asher went to talk to his friends giving his phone to me. I shook my head. How can he be so irresponsible?!! Cole was calling him again and again. I walked toward the school compound telling my friends to wait for me but I couldn't find him around.

" You won this time, huh?!" I heard Eros saying and I stopped.

" She is not a bet to me. You know that very Well." Asher's voice made me curious. What are they talking about?!!

" You know she will hate you if she knows you are behind everything?" Eros said.

" I have done everything for her. I have no regret about it. And you no need to be worried about Aradhya. There are people. Stay away from my girl. I don't warn someone twice." Asher's word made me confused. What did he mean?!!!
