Chapter 3 - Ruhi meets Yash

It's been months since Swasti had gotten together with Yash, everybody else was also doing good with their respective partners and I am still single because I can't get over Ishan, my one true epic love, who left me to be the damsel in distress. I get all sarcastic when I talk about him but yet I cannot get over him. I am sad and alone most of the times and honestly I guess, everyone else has a problem with me being sad so most of the times they zone me out. Even Aayat, my best friend, would ignore me at times and that would make me feel even worse, but I somehow manage to find my place between them, because they are still my friends and we are all still pretty close. Swasti, although, sticks to me most of the times, because she is the one who is most updated about me and she has been wanting to introduce me to Yash for a long time, since, everybody else got their introductory sessions with him on Facebook and only I was left. It was all up to Yash, he would randomly add anybody from our group and send them a chat saying " Hi " and then when the other person would reply with another "hi" he would just reply with a "hey" and delete the previous "hi" so that when Swasti checks his Facebook, it would look like he wasn't the one who started the conversation. I get bothered very easily when my friends' boyfriends aren't talking to me or don't like me but this time it was like it didn't really matter and I was like it's upto him to like me I cannot force myself on him and anywhich ways he is Swasti's boyfriend not mine so it doesn't really matter whether he like me or not.

Today too was like any other day except for that the friends at school were being way more friendlier than they ever were, so yeah, you can kinda say that it was a better day altogether. I came home from school and rushed for tuitions and then I came back home, had dinner and as usual lying on my bed scrolling Facebook, checking out memes and posts related to love and heartbreak. The phone beeped because I had a notification and it was the most unexpected thing that happened. "Yash Sharma has sent you a friend request" was what it said. I accepted it in a second without any second thoughts. I kept my phone away and I slept.

Next morning I went to school as usual and I met my friends, they were even sweeter today, so I guess they have owned me back and we are again the best gang our school could ever have. " Oye, Swasti, your Yash sent me a friend request on Facebook last night" I told her, "Yes he told me" she replied, "So you guys got to talking? He is very funny, I guess you two have the same level of sense of humor" Swasti said chuckling. " He can't match me " I said with a crooked smile and we both burst out laughing.

In the evening I had no tuitions, all my Wednesdays were free days so I decided to chill all evening and keep scrolling Facebook. The phone beeped and the notification said "Yash Sharma has sent you a message" I opened it in a flash with so much of excitement and it was just the usual "hi" and I knew his trick so I wrote "hey" he wrote a "hi" again and I wrote another "hey" he wrote "hi" I wrote "hey" and this continued for a good 5-6 rounds and then he must have gotten tired and he wrote "nice game :) "
