I had to do something or else I would lose him. And that's when I felt I was the luckiest girl to have such a best friend. I told my problems to Naomi and she had this great plan:
" Listen Asteria, I have a plan but you promise me that you won't get so far with it. So my plan is I will let Seb come closer to you only in front of Carsten to make him jealous. But girl, beware. Seb is mine. Don't dare take a chance on him. " she chuckled.
" Oh come on babe, Seb is like my brother, and I only love Carsten. " I blushed. I am so lucky. Who the hell does share her boyfriend even if it is just an act. I was proud of her, I can say. And of course, we had to ask Sebastian. He never looked at any other girl the way he looks at Naomi. Man, I adore them.
Fortunately, Seb was ready to help me but it took us three long classes to make him understand. The experience was funny and interesting. Whenever Carsten came near us, Seb would get a little closer to me even if he had to say a simple "Hi". During classes, Seb used to ask me to lend him my stationary stuff and knowingly brushed his hand against mine. I would hang out with Seb in front of Carsten and used to have my lunch with him. Seb used to praise me in front of Carsten and just a little bit lean towards my direction when he talked to me.
But only if this plan had really worked. All our efforts went in vain. It had no effects on Carsten. I had almost lost my hope. He still used to hang out with those three witches. The sight of him getting closer, especially to Anna scooped the shit out of me. I wanted to ask him, what actually made him attracted to her.
One day, that bitch crossed limits. Carsten was just sitting in our school cafe and writing something in his book when suddenly Anna came and sat on his lap. Even, he was startled. I had just followed him to stalk him. It does sound bad now but I was helpless. I loved him and he was not even mine. Anyways, that bitch started playing with his hair. I bet my life there was just an inches gap between them, and I lost it. I thronged towards them and slammed my book on the table. Both of them were taken aback.
" Anna, bring it on bitch. The only thing you can ever star in is Disney cartoons." God knows where I got this line. Damn, it's cool.
"Excuse me, what?" she replied.
" You, bitch. Get off him." I stormed.
" Well, go to hell. He is mine already " she smirked.
Tears built up in my eyes but I had to hide them. I couldn't show myself the weaker one. But to my surprise, Carsten threw Anna off him and looked at her in disgust.
" Listen now. I was never yours and don't you ever dream of that. We thought we were friends but I was wrong. So now, kindly don't ever try talking to me" he thundered.
I felt relieved and the tears that had built out of sorrow now rolled down my cheeks with a clear hint of happiness. I looked at Anna and she was glaring at me. I turned my gaze to Carsten but he wasn't looking at me. He just shook his head and left the cafe. The people around were staring at us with shocking looks plastered on their faces.
It was a long day for me. I felt tired and went home earlier than my usual timing. I was happy that Carsten now hated Anna but I was worried about him being aware of my love for him. What if, after all that happened that day, he never talked to me, and what if he ignored me. Tired of all uncountable questions flooding my brain, I slept early just to wake up to a morning I would have never expected to come...
