Chereads / what is LOVE? / Chapter 4 - 4. Attraction

Chapter 4 - 4. Attraction

Things are going well on Lily's side, she got boys after her and some boys even confessed to her, she is enjoying all the attention on one side.

But after accepting Charlie's proposal and accepting a pen on her birthday as a gift from him, there was nothing going on between them, and Charlie stopped coming out to play with them and took his studies seriously.

Lily also doesn't think about that, and one day Charlie comes to her and says, "Let's break up Lily, my mother doesn't approve of this relationship and I want to concentrate on my studies. Because of following you my grades dropped down. So, I don't want to continue this anymore." 

Lily was quite sad after listening to him but didn't take him seriously since she never dreamed of being in a relationship with him. She just had a crush on him that's it.

And one a year passed by and our Lily didn't know what love was, and she didn't know what she even wanted to do in her life. 

She just goes with the flow and one day when she was returning home two of her senior boys came to her and one of the guys started conversing, whom Lily was acquainted before, "Hey Lily, school ended for you."

Lily replied, "Yes, senior it ended a while ago, but I came with friends so we had some fun along the way. But senior what are you doing here? This isn't the way to your home?"

Then he scratched his head and embarrassingly replied, "Do you know my classmate Harry?" Then Lily replied, "Yes, senior, isn't he the one beside you?"

Then he replied, "So you knew him." and looked at his friend, "I can only help you till here, you can carry on."

Now our Lily got the picture of what was going on and didn't say anything waiting for Harry to talk.

Harry talked with confidence "Hai, Lily! It is surprising to me that you know me, how do you know me.? Like that, he started the conversation while they joined Lily on her way home.

Lily replied, "Who doesn't know you, you are the champion of our school, who won the championship in both physics and math regional level competition."

Harry just laughed and continued asking some questions and even enquired about her sister Maya's studies, this time Lily wasn't sure of their purpose and thought, 'Does he want to know about my sister like those other guys who came to me for my sister's sake?'

Why wouldn't our Lily think like that, since it had happened previously, she almost sold her sister because of her stupidity. This time she was not going to spill any beans about her sister and asked Harry directly, " Are you after my sister, then please don't place your hopes on me, 'cause I won't betray my sister."

Both Harry and his friends were shocked and understood that she misunderstood them and replied, "No, we are not here for your sister." She asked, "Then why are you here, if not for my sister?"

Harry replied, "Can't I come for you?" This time Lily got shocked and blushed which was unnoticed by the boys because it was quite dark.

Without replying to them and no looking back she left from there.
