We were playing the same game again.

"It's Sammy's turn to ask the question now.", Nisha said.
"Okayy so-", She was cut off.
"Don't you dare ask something foolish.", Ava interrupted.
"Yeah I'd ask about your favourites like you always do.. What is your favourite colour, food, animal and blah blah blah.", Sammy said sarcastically.
Ava gave her a side eye and the game proceeded.
"Who would you date from our group if you were a boy?", she asked.
"THE SAME QUESTION AGAIN!!", Ashu and Ava hollered.
"Copy cat!", Jules exclaimed.
"Meow~", Sammy mewed.

After all of them finished answering, it was Nisha and my turn.
"Uh- you say first.", I poked her.
"Sayyy!", Nisha asked.
"Noo youu first."
"I swear these two...", they waited.
"Alright, I'd date you. You say now.", Nisha answered.
"Uh ok I'd date you too..", I answered.
"Wooooo~~ We got two couples here~", Sammy teased.
"SHUT UP!", Ava, Jules, Nisha and me ordered.

I again had a heart fluttering sensation when she said she'd date me. I tried to calm myself down saying that, it was just a joke and a game but still the feeling continued. There was a number of times when we have flirted with our friends jokingly but when she did it, it felt so different.

The day came to an end.
We stepped out of our school.
"Byee Avaa~ byee Sammy daddy~", we sang as they left.
"Bye guys!", Jules and Tanni left.
"Bye..", I waved at Nisha.
"What bye? You're coming with me today.", She declared.
"Wait! What? Where? Why?", I couldn't form a perfect sentence before she pulled me with her.
I walked with her as she pulled me by my hand. She lead me to the 7 Eleven gas station next to our school.
We stood by the road under the shade.

"You can board your bus from here as well

"You can board your bus from here as well.", She said.
"Bu-?"
"Keep quite and stand here."
I rolled my eyes at her and she looked away hiding her smile.

I saw her bus leaving from the other side of the road.

"Your bus!! It left. Why are you still standing here? Cross the road!"
"After you leave."
"But-"
"I need to take care of you. You're such a little kid. What do I do if someone kidnaps you? What will happen of me?"
I looked at her in disbelief and she kept on laughing.

That day onwards, she always waited for me to board the bus first and left only after I did. She didn't even cross the road to board her bus, instead just stood there, on the other side with me, giving me company till my bus arrived.

"Hey, give me your diary. I will write my cabinet speech in it.", Nisha said.
"M-my diary?"
"Yeah.. give it already."
I opened the chain of my bag, took my diary out and handed it over to her.
