Everything changed, my life started to become beautiful everyday. Apart from our hangouts and dates we used to care for each other in every little things like, though we got a new car, I started to travel by bus again because I really love catching a seat for Mike next to mine.

He'd get me chocolates everyday, but won't give me more than two because he says that I'll get cavities.

Sometimes we'd give our seats to some random couple in bus and remain standing close to each other in that crowd with brushing shoulders, that has a separate base of happiness.

We used to plug in earphones and hear our favorite songs and sometimes we play the song instead of speaking because whatever we would wish to tell would be there in its lyrics.

Slowly everyone came to know about our relationship in class, of course many girls were really jealous but I don't care. I really liked Mike for his character and behavior more than his appearance and if I had not fought with him on the very first day of school, I would have definitely been like the other girls; it would have just been an infatuation.

And there were no more cold war or fight between him and Cedric. Those guys became completely different; I still could not believe my eyes to watch them talk with hands on shoulders.

I used to talk with Cedric but I'd always make my conversations limited, I know forgetting someone is not an easy task and if I talk with him more that would be really hard for him.

Sometimes I'd invite Mike for dinner, my parents really like him, especially my father. And not more to say, he likes Mike's character more than mine.

The days flew like feathers and now we stepped into our final year, obviously the most crucial year for us, we had plenty of assignments and school works to do, it looked like I was stuck up in a book-sand.

We thought studies and future were important and we stopped our hangouts and fun-times for the next 4 months and got ourselves into our books.

At last due to our sacrifices and hard work both of us did our final exams well and were sure we would get into good universities. And what's next?

Prom!!!

The most awaited event in a school year. And I had great ideas when I see prom in the movies, like cool outfits, snacks, parties, dances, DJ's and many more.

I wore a red frock which came up to my knees and red high heels, I left my hair loose, it came upto my shoulders. This is the last day of school, I want to look pretty so I did my best self-makeup and when I was done, well not bad, I'm satisfied with it.

***
I reached school, my school was beautifully decorated and to see all my classmates in great outfits after seeing them in those monotonous boring uniforms really looked cool.

Lia wore a pink robe and it looked really cute on her. We hugged each other, though we would call and hangout as usual after this prom, I could not stop my blurring eyes when I realize the fact that today is the last day of my high school.

"You look marvelous Mina!" she said after giving me a complete stare.

"So do you, Lia" I replied smiling.

***

We kept chatting for sometime and then Rachel enters the hall with her 7 feet long gown. How did she manage that? But it looked great anyway.

I don't like her, she keeps messing with me always but anyway my thought was not to have any grudge or vengeance on the last day of my school. So I started my conversation,

"Hey Rachel!" I called.

"Are you mad? Why do you call her now?" Lia asked me confused.

"Just wait" I said and called her again.

Even Rachel couldn't believe that I was calling her; she thought for sometime and then walked towards me.

"What" she asked in a hesitated tone.

"How are you?" I asked.

She was blank for sometime

"Is everything alright, are you drunk?" she asked.

"What? Of course not"

"You sound strange" she said with pulled up eyebrows.

"Strange? I'm just talking to you normally, how can this be strange?" I asked her.

"You're talking to me normally and that is strange!" she replied.

"I wanna ask you something"

"What?" She asked with unwillingly.

"Why can't we be friends? What you think about it?" I asked her.

I could see the juice spraying out from Lia's mouth.

"What? It's a prank right? Or a dare, tell me who made you ask this?" Rachel asked me after giving a fake laugh.

"No, I'm not joking" I said.

"Then what made you to ask like that Miss Josh?" She asked me with folded arms.

"Look, can you tell me what is the main cause for our fight?" I asked her.

"It's because Mike likes you and I hate it!" she replied pointing her sharp nailed index towards me.

"And what would have happened if he had not liked me? You would have not treated me like this, right?" I asked her.

She thought for a while and said,
"Now you're wasting my time Mina, I should have not responded to you" she replied.

"Now please, think about it once again Rachel, I think we wasted our school days fighting and I wish we could change" I said with hope.

"Ignore all our silly fights let's start it as a new conversation" I added.

"Whatever you say will not make me forget what you did to me Mina, you stole my boy!" she said grinding her teeth.

"And what would have you done when he says it as a no?" i asked her.

She was blank.

Lia pulled me closer and whispered in my ears,

"Mina, are you doing it with your mind? Just leave her"

But I din't listen to her words.

"Trust me Rachel, we can be good friends, I hope you won't regret our friendship" I said.

"I'll get a better boy than Mike and I hate you even more when you talk like this"
she replied in a rough tone flipping her hair dramatically and left the place with her clicking high heels sound.

She-she is rude, I din't expect her to react like that.

"It's a waste talking to her" Lia said.

I sighed and sat with my head down.
Suddenly I could hear the clicking heels sound again, I lifted my head and found Rachel standing infront of me.

"Here you go" she said and extended me a tissue.

"What is it?" i asked her.

"My number, I do hate you still, but let's not fight like before" she replied with a smirk and left the place.

I opened the tissue and found her number written in it, I was quick to see something else too,

'-Sorry'

I was so surprised, I din't expect that from her, I was wrong, she is not as rude as I thought.

Lia couldn't believe Rachel asking sorry,

"What made you to be friend with her?" she asked.

"Bad girls are not born bad, they just become because of taking wrong choices. And if they change into good persons, they will be more genuine than most of us, they will not repeat what they had done earlier and I think she will change too" I replied with a smile.

"You're awesome" she replied patting me.

***
Then there comes my prince, he looked really great in his outfit, he wore a white full shirt tucked in and a black jeans, he gelled his brown hair and he looked too good.

He got the chair next to me in which Lia was seated, now she was not here, she was busy with her phone call.

"Hey" he called.

I turned towards him.

He kept staring at me for sometime and said,

"Beautiful"

"Handsome" I replied.

"Ugh...Heloo, sorry for interrupting you buddies, but if you don't mind why can't you go for a dance?" Brandon asked us, I don't know from where this guy came.

"Shall we?" Mike asked extending out his hand.

"Sure" I replied holding his.

"No fainting" he mocked.

"Of course I won't" I replied smiling.

"Brandon where are you going?" I asked him.

"I'm not so good in dancing, I'll just have some snacks" he replied and left.

Everything went on well, it was our memorable day, after the dance we began chatting.

***

"Mike you look good" Lia said.

"Thanks" he replied brushing his hair.

"Who on the hell you're talking over the phone, can't you spend this day without attending your calls?" i asked Lia in disbelief.

"I-I'm sorry, din't I say, it's Judith!" she reminded.

"Whatever" I replied.

Then after some time, Lia left to the washroom,

Me and Mike were chatting and to make our eyes pop out something strange happened,

Brandon was on the dance floor dancing with,

Seriously I couldn't believe,

With Rachel?

I was sitting with my hands covering my mouth in wonder, I could not control my laughter on the other side, because Brandon sucks in dance.

But Rachel was doing it good, she is very good in dancing.

"I-I couldn't believe my eyes! I thought he liked only snacks, so he like dance and Rachel too?"Mike asked stammering.

"So you can't believe it too?" I asked.

These guys never went on well together but now I can understand something, anything is possible with fate.

We were commenting within ourselves on seeing them dance and were laughing just then we heared a vibrating sound and a faint ringtone, we were not able to hear it clearly due to the loud music in our prom.

But we quickly found out what it was, it was from Lia's mobile.

'Incoming call, JUDITH' the screen read.

"Who is it?" Mike asked.

"Judith" I replied and showed him the phone, but his reaction changed in a minute,

"What is it?" I asked him confused.

"The number, I knew this number! I knew this Judith number!" he was saying surprisingly.

The next sentence what he said was enough to give me Goosebumps.

"This is Siddhique's number!"
