[Abi's POV]
Alarm clock buzzing,
"Oh please shut the F", I switched off the alarm and went back to sleep.
After one hour I woke up by myself. Ahh! What sleep it was. Oh my fuck I'm still feeling sleepy. But the need to go to college can't miss it. I'm ready. I headed downstairs had my daily breakfast and off to college.
Don't know what it's taking long for Richa to move out of her house for ten minutes I'm waiting. I knocked on her house door.
"Hey, Mrs. Dorabjee. How are you?" I greet her mom.
"I'm all good Abi. What about you?" She asked.
"I'm good as always. Where is Richa? How long she will take?"I questioned.
"She went to college for long back." She answered.
"Strange she didn't inform me, "I said with a confused expression.
"She got to study in the library." She said.
"O okay. Thanks, Mrs.Dorabjee. Bye." I said.
I board a bus. How come she went to college without me? Why she didn't inform me about her schedule? Is she upset or mad at me? But I don't understand, what things made her upset. I hate when people don't try to solve their problems or thoughts with me. I mean come on if there is my fault I don't feel ashamed to apologize. But talk to me. I found such people, coward but still, I don't want to lose a new friend from my acquaintance. Let's see what her misunderstanding is.
As I enter the class lots of people gossiping about Nate's fabulous party. I got my attention on Nate. He smiled at me and reciprocated the same. I must say, Nate has that charm that can make any girl fall for him under his sweet and flirtatious spell. Ohh anyways back to Richa. There she is sitting next to Serena.
"Hi, Richa," I said.
"Ohh Hi Abi." She said in her sarcastic tone.
"You didn't call me for college, I waited for you," I said.
"Oh I'm so sorry honey I forgot to inform you." She said sarcastically.
"It's Okay never mind come will get back to our seat," I tried to sound chilled.
"I think we can't be friends anymore so better find new for yourself." She said in casual.
"But why?" I was shocked."You said to me I can be your best friend. Now, what happened. Did I hurt you? Or are you upset with me? we can clear our misunderstandings." I said in concern.
"Nothing has happened. Is that I don't want to continue the friendship with you. It's my wish. Now you can leave." She sounded rude.
I left her place and grabbed a new seat. How can people be so rude and judgemental about me? She didn't want to be my friend. Did I hear the same? Yes. My inner subconscious said. I'm feeling so lonely. Will I be able to make a new friend. Who can be good at me? Some kind of best friend with whom I can share my sweet, sour, happy and sorrow moments. It's not like I don't share my talks with my parents. I do. Everything you can't share with your parents. Somewhere down life, you need a friend, a best friend. Who can help you in the good and bad days of your life? It's important to have a best friend in one's life. But difficult to get one in this new city. I don't know why but it made me sad and upset. Never thought would face such emotions of being rejected by your new friend in life. The day passed silently.
Next day college.
I got a seat. I got lost in my own thoughts wondering what surprises are still waiting for me. I was busy in my own world. I heard someone next to me.
"Hey, can I sit next to you." The voice asks.
"Yes," I said without turning my head towards her.
"Hi, my name is Blaire Woods." She said.
I turned my head to her. She looks pretty and beautiful. Her hair is black with bit curls at the down edge. Her eyes are brown and chubby cheeks. She has slight fair skin and a smile on her face.
"My name is Abigail Carton, "I said with a smile.
"Are you new at this college?"She questioned.
"Yes," I answered. "Are you also new over here," I questioned.
"No. I'm an old student. Was on vacation just landed last evening."She said. "From which city are you?"
"I'm from Vancouver, Washington," I said.
"Oh good." She said. "Don't know where my friends are left behind." She said.
"Where they went?" I question.
"They went to purchase a notebook and pen." She said. "Actually we are three friends reside in next door. One of my friends names Gianna Green. She can't do anything by herself. She is a kinda lazy lad." She said laughing. "Other is Samantha Shawn. She is a girl who knows how to make her work done." She finished.
"Hi, Blaire." The girl in the black dress said.
"Come over here," Blair said. "Meet Abigail Carton she is from Vancouver, Washington and new in our college." She gave me my introduction.
"Hi, Abigail." They said together.
"Hi," I said.
"Abi. Hmm, can I call you Abi?" Blair asked.
"Yes, of course, you can," I said sweetly.
"So she is Gianna Green and she is Samantha Shawn." Blair gave their introduction.
We all sat together. Gianna was seating with Samantha on the front bench. Gianna is bubbly in nature and behavior. She is full of joy. She has straight black hair, light brown eyes, and olive-brown clear skin. No dark spots and no mark of pimples. She can make anybody laugh with her ridiculous jokes. Samantha doesn't joke always but talks a lot like me. She has black wavey hair, brown eyes, and fair skin. She is a bit serious in behavior. We had lots of talks, some old and more new. We were done for the day.
We board the bus together. They reside behind the street from my house. We exchanged our mobile numbers and decided to go to college together from tomorrow. As I reach my house they hugged and said, "Byeeeeeee." In chorus. "See you tomorrow." and left.
I can't say it's a bad day but yeah got new friends, new bonds and sweet gesture. It's a good surprise from God's grace. I think I should not think and care about Richa she doesn't deserve my friendship. One day she will realize it. Wait or maybe not. Who cares. Fuck Richa and welcome new angels.
