The One I've Loved

Chapter 42

The exams were near and also my school life will come to an end in a few days. One side of me is saying that I should concentrate on my exams and my career and the other side says that I should confess to Austin as soon as possible but at the same time I start thinking what if I confess to him and he rejects me , will I able to take his rejection ? , After thinking a lot I decided to concentrate on my studies first and thought of telling that I like him after my exams .

Days pa.s.sed like seconds and years pa.s.sed like hours . A kind of pain took place in my heart as the days of my school life came to an end . It was our last working day in school which was a few days later after I got to know about Rachel and Justin . It was in the first week of March .

I spent most of my school time with Rachel and Cindy , Rachel and I did everything together till today , I wonder what will happen in future , will we be the same like now or will we change ?, because the future is unpredictable , we never know what will happen . I just hope that everything will be fine in future and I wish her a bright future with Justin . Well , she will be my cousin in law when she marries him .The thought of my best friend marrying my brother makes me excited . I hope that day will come soon .

After coming from Oasis , I didn"t have a proper conversation with Cindy , neither did Rachel . Till that day we still didn"t know what happened on that night in Oasis . Rachel was least bothered about it after Justin confessed his feelings to her even I thought of forgetting about it but I couldn"t , Cindy told me that she liked someone . I wanted to know what happened that night and what did they talk ,I waited for the right time to ask her . I wanted to help her even if she didn"t want it , I wanted to be there for her even though I know that she is now close to Ca.s.sie, Veronica and Stella .

As soon as the cla.s.s ended Rachel and I came out of the cla.s.s as it was too noisy . We both weren"t close to our cla.s.smates much . We lived in our own bubble all these years . As we were taking a stroll around the school we came across Cindy who was talking to Ca.s.sie, Veronica and Stella . Rachel called them . We girls ran towards eacthother and hugged tightly .

Let"s make sure that we stay in contact , Ca.s.sie said after hugging us .

We took a marker from our bags and wrote our best wishes on each other"s uniform . Its a kind of tradition for us to write something on uniforms on the last day as a memory .

After writing , Stella took out a camera from her bag to click pictures . Before she could click ,she was stopped by Veronica from clicking .

Wait , let"s apply lipstick so that we look better ,she said .

I don"t want it , Cindy said.

Neither do I , I said and stepped back but Veronica didn"t listen to us .


It was a cherry pink lipstick which made me look better than before .

We clicked as many pictures as we could before dispersing . Rachel and I went back to our Cla.s.s for Justin and saw him surrounded among girls . His white shirt was filled with different colours of markers .

Where did you girls go , I was searching for you both , he said .

Don"t lie , your girl clearly saw how you were laughing with other girls and were writing on their uniform , I said like that on purpose .

Turn around , Rachel said to which he turned his back to her .

Will you take me on a date ?, she read the words that were written oh his shirt by an unknown person .

He immediately turned around and said that he didn"t had no idea about what was written on his shirt like an innocent puppy .

There was no answer from Rachel .

I don"t even remember what I wrote on other student"s shirt but I do know that your name is carved in my heart , he tried to explain her .

Don"t think I"ll fall for your cheesy lines all the time Justin , she said glaring at his shirt and then at him .

I"ll leave now , you guys carry on with your romance and then I excused myself .

I met Aaron and then I asked him about Austin , he said had no idea .

After talking to Aaron and clicking pictures with him , I went to search Austin and saw him talking to a little girl .

He knelt down on his right knee to talk to her , I don"t know what they were talking but I saw her giving him a rose flower which he took happily from her . I slowed down as I was walking towards him . I still wonder how can his smile make my heat flutter even though I"ve seen him smiling numerous times .

----------------------------------

That day was an unforgettable day not only for me but everyone . None of us had idea of how the future would be and what we would do . That day I saw few people having a smile on their face and at the same time there was sadness too .

The best part is Rachel and I are still the same . She is now my cousin in law who is living happily after marrying my brother and they are expecting .
