Why? How can I be so weak? Why should I cry? Why should I cry for a person who left me and Mom a long time back without even caring much? Why do I still have flashbacks of the person I hate the most? Just why?
I swallowed the lump forming in my throat as tears streamed down my face. Suddenly I heard somebody call my name but I wasn't in the state to even recognize who it was. I turned my head slightly as I didn't want anyone to see I was crying. I wiped my tears off before turning back completely.
"What are you doing here alone? Aren't you cold?" Chris was standing right in front of me. I didn't dare to look directly into his eyes but I just nodded to answer him. "Is something wrong? You don't look good. " He said as he walked closer to me.
I was stunned when I felt his surprisingly warm hands touch my cold cheek all of a sudden. My eyes widened as he narrowed he was mine. Did he figure out I was crying? "See your face is cold. Let's get something to eat, everyone is going anyway. "
"Okay." My voice came out quite broken. Probably because I was crying for a long time. We walked to the nearby stall that was selling almost everything you eat to keep yourself warm in such weather. The students had already flooded in front of the stall. It was so crowded that we couldn't get closer to order something.
"Wait here! " Chris said as he walked into the stall pushing his way out to the stall. After a few seconds he disappeared among the other students, which was weird to me because I had my eyes on him all this while;also he was tall enough to be noticed easily.

Out of nowhere he suddenly appeared in front of me with two small cups of coffee. I smiled at him and took one of them. "Thanks." I said. I cupped my hands around the cup to make my hands a little warm. I was actually helpful and I really needed something wrong to drink after thinking about all that stuff.
"I thought you vanished into thin air. " I commented sarcastically as I took a sip from my cup.
"Were you looking for me? " He said with a smirk.
"My eyes were fixed on you for… " I stopped before I completed the whole sentence. I looked around to avoid him but u could already feel that he's eyes were glued at me and was smiling right now. My eyes scanned through the people around me and then I could finally spot Minni standing beside Adi. "Umm… I will be back. " I walked towards Minni and she grinned as soon as she noticed me.
"I was searching for you but then I saw Chris with you so I didn't disturb. " She said with one of her eyebrows up. Adi was standing right beside her so he could hear all of our conversation. I glared at Minni, signalling her to stop saying anything else but she kept on going "He even brought you coffee. How cute!. That day brought you a whole lunch box though. "
"Umm… I never asked him to do so. "
"But you never denied it too. " She snapped back.
Adi was suspiciously silent all this while which made me take a glance at him unknowingly. "Why are you staring at me like that? " I asked him because I was seriously scared by the way his stare was just now.
"When did you guys become that close friends? " He asked.
I was about to answer when Min spoke in between"friends? They literally went on a… "
"Minni! " I stopped her before she said anything else. She looked at me and kept quiet. It would be awkward if anybody knows that we went on a date, that too on a date where we were not supposed to be with each other but different people. Its a whole long story and I know people like Adi will keep on asking me and Chris questions after questions until it gets real weird between us.
"Well we just became friends when you introduced me to him. " I said.
"I see. " He said as watched Chris walking towards us.
