Would You be My Love?

CHAPTER 2

A few days passed by. It did not take me much time to become a part of their group as they had been quite friendly with me, especially Tanni, Nisha and Jules. Tanni and I spoke to each other about many things. I shared with her about the phase I had been going through then. She was such a good listener for me.

"Okay next question.", I said.
"Okayy mee! I'll ask!", Jules announced.
"I am leaving, she'll ask something really stupid.", Ava stated.
"Heheheheheheeh.... sooo.... Whom would y'all date from our group if you were a boy and why?", Jules asked.
"I said I'm leaving..", Ava said.
"YOU DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER THING GOING ON IN YOUR HEAD?", Ashu cried.
"Answer already. It's just a game.", she chuckled.
"Ava First!!", Sammy insisted.
"Uh- y'all are so annoying.", Ava complained.
"Say it Ava...", Nisha urged.
"Uh alright. Jules. I'd date Jules.", Ava answered.
"Ahaaa~", Everyone teased.
"JUST BECAUSE SHE'S MY BEST FRIEND!!", Ava cleared.
"Yeah yeah alright.", Nisha teased.
"Whom would you date?", Ava asked Nisha.
"Ohhh mee? I'd date Sammy daddy. She's so hot.", she kidded.
"GROSS!", We yelled.
"What about Tanni?", Jules asked.
"I think I'd date Nisha. I like her sense of humour as Mrs. D'Souza said that day.", Tanni answered.
"Bad choice Tans!", Sammy sneered funnily.
Nisha pulled a funny face at her mocking her.
"Okay, what about you Myra?", Jules asked.
"I am not at all sure about this... Umm.. I think Nisha for me too. I agree with Tanni.", I answered.
"I got two chics y'all.", She joked around.
"STAY AWAY!!", Tanni cried.

Weeks passed. I got friendlier with them each passing day. It felt as if I was gaining my lost self back.

"Nisha?", Mrs. Paul called.
No answer.
"NISHA?", she called again.
"PRESENT TEACHER!!", she came running, shouting from the corridor.
Everyone laughed as she walked in through the entrance smiling like an idiot at the teacher.
"I'd mark you as absent you see.", she joked.
She aggressively swayed her head from side to side, "No no no no!"
Mrs. Paul squinted at her trying to hide the smile that curved in her lips.

"Happy Birthdayyy!!", We wished her as she walked past the benches in front.
"Thank you thank you", she replied delightedly.
I handed over to her a chocolate.
"Thank youu~", she sang.
In seconds the chocolate was snatched away by Jules and they ate it up.
"THEY TOOK MY CHOCOLATE MYRA!!", she cried.
"What shall I do?", I said taking a bite as Jules fed me the chocolate.
"Y'all are so-"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAH", evil laughter.

That's how our friendship began and nourished my then sorrowful soul.
It was just so much better the next year, i.e, 2023. There were also a number of hardships but the bads are to be forgotten after we learn from then and the goods are always to be cherished.
