"Once you cry in front of the person you love, the bond doesn't remain same, it becomes ultra-special. Because in this world full of people hiding their emotions behind fake smiles. Genuine tears only fall in front of the person whose soul is meant to be yours."

Hey Iris,
So I know what I did upset you and I sincerely want to apologise for what I did. I am truly sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. Can you come to the place where that guy had confronted you after school?
Aaron
I waited, I waited on Monday, on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and even Friday. But she never came.
And believe me, I tried to distract myself. I went to a party on a Tuesday, drunk my ass off and still her thoughts were the only thing that were in my mind. And honestly, if she were in my place and experienced the hangover I had, she would have forgiven me a long time back.
I even attended those shit ass chemistry and geography classes that week hoping that she will come but she didn't attend those classes either. Finally, on Friday she came to our geography class and even though she ignored me when she came in the class, I took the one opportunity I had gotten and made her my partner for that FREAKING stupid geography project.
"So Ices, my place at 4?" I asked her.
"Fine", she took a piece of paper and scribbled something on it and then handed it to me and then said, "text me you address."
"Oh never seen a girl so desperate, this is definitely a first."
She just rolled her eyes and left.

As I was walking towards the exit, Cindy came up to me and said, "Hey, are you free now? Me and my bunch are gonna go to McDonalds, wanna join?"
"Yes please! I thought you'd never ask." I said and Cindy started laughing.
We went to McDonalds, believe me when I say this, all of us gobbled two happy meals in half an hour. I don't even think that it's humanly possible. Well now that just makes us Goddesses and I don't deny the fact.
"God, I am so full!!! I don't think I'll be able to eat for the next two days." I said clutching my stomach.
"Two days!! I won't be able to eat for a whole freaking week." Cindy said banging her head on the table.
"All I can think right now is about the ways I can thank the genius who created this amazing creation? I mean the juicy meat with the melted cheese, it's just divine. I bet even the god's envy this food. I am in sweet ecstasy" Vanessa said.
We all laughed
"Sometimes I am really jealous of Cassie, I mean she eats the most but still she is able to maintain that angelic body." Eleanor said.
"Babe, food is life! I am never giving up on my one true love. There's nothing that a workout cannot fix." She winked.
We sat there talking for a while. And just then I realised that I had to go to Aaron's place. I glanced at my watch, it was 3.50. Damn it, how am I going to reach there on time? I don't want to be late and hear Aaron bickering about my punctuality.
"Hey, Iris what's wrong?" Cindy said looking at my face.
"Nothing, it's just I had to reach Aaron's house by 4. But I only have the address and it would be really hard to find so I am thinking of a way to reach there on time." I said
"Oh sweetie, don't worry, I was just heading out there. Want me to drop you?" She said.
"Yeah that would be awesome!" I said jumping.
We paid our bills and left from The Wondrous Heaven, a.k.a McDonalds, and made our way to Aaron's house.
I have been on this road before, I thought. With every turn, I just became more and more sure that I had been here before. As the car came to a stop, I looked out of the window and saw Cindy's house. I assumed she must have left something and we went there to pick it up.
"This is your stop." Cindy said.
"But isn't this your house?" I asked her.

I was sitting in my room with our city's map spread on my bed and my laptop on my lap. I was trying to find places we could visit and encircling them on our map. I even thought of looking up those places but decided against it. I mean, I found the places right. Iris can do the writing work.
Just as I was trying to find the last place where we could go, the bell rang.
I got off my bed and took two steps at a time and reached our door. As soon as I opened the door, I saw Cindy.
"Avada Kedavra!" Cindy said, just a second before I could.
"You cheated Draco! You knew I was gonna open the door. I didn't even know you were there on our door." I whined like a baby.
"Well you are stupid Ron! We do have peephole and you could have seen who it was before you opened the door." Cindy said and started doing her victory dance.
It has been a kind of joke between us since we were 8 and had started watching Harry Potter. We used to use spells on each other while arguing or fighting and then it became a tradition to say the Killing Curse whenever we saw each other.
And as for the nicknames, since I have Ron in my name she called me Ron and as she had D in her name I called her Draco.
"Better get your girlfriend big brother or I will take her, just like Draco stole Hermione." Cindy says as she goes to the kitchen to drink some water.
"Firstly, Draco never had Hermione and secondly I don't have a girlfriend." I said snatching the bottle from her.
"Well as of now, your girlfriend is sitting in my car waiting for you to pick her up. Go fast or I will take her with me to Alec's place." Cindy said as she went to her room to change her cloths.
I ran to Cindy's car to see who she was talking about. As I neared the car I instantly figured out who my "girlfriend" was.
I opened the passenger door to Cindy's car and before she could say something, I said with a genuine smile, "Hey Ices, welcome to my humble abode."
