EXPRESSIONLESS
Liya's P.O.V
This weekend felt to be so short. We almost slept for the half day or more than that. I never felt so sleepy before. As I had nothing to do I was just trying to pass my time by drawing some new things. I was scared as a s**t, I felt like whenever I think about that dream my body temperature increases. Jim entered my room he looked a bit depressed. I asked him why was he acting in that way. And he said "you helped me a lot sis but I feel like Lucy doesn't likes me either, loving me is something impossible for her!" I patted his back and said "nothing is impossible Jim stop being insane, if she wouldn't be liking you then why would she ask you to help her arrange a birthday party for me " he just faked smiled and left. His eyes were filled with pain. I hope that she accepts him! I took out my new mobile which my aunt sent me as a gift. Jim taught me each and every way to use it. I called Lucy but she didn't receive it . Then I called Matt actually I too wasn't sure why I called him. And guess what he too didn't receive my call. Then finally I realized that I should call Joe, thankfully he received my call. We had a great time talking to each other, almost for all the time I was nervous . After we finished our conversation Lucy and Matt called me at the same time, I was confused thinking to whom should I talk now. Okay! they didn't receive my call right? So now it's my turn I switched off my mobile phone and kept it aside thinking to tease and ignore them tomorrow.... I couldn't control myself to switch my mobile on again after half an hour. And there were 16 missed calls from Matt and 32 from Lucy. I then texted them both saying 'don't contact me now!' And that was more than enough for them to call and text me plenty of times. If I keep teasing people in this way then for sure one day I will get an award of the best teaser ever, I laughed at myself and went down stairs to see what's going on. I found Robet and Jim playing cards, I joined them but couldn't be the winner. Robet won this game. We had a crazy weekend this time... We had our dinner and went to sleep as all of us had our respective reasons.
The next morning I woke up and was on time for school. Jim accompanied me to the school so at least he could see Lucy once again. As soon as I stepped out of the car I saw Lucy and Matt standing outside. They seemed to be worried. Jim came out too and both of us headed towards them. As soon as we reached their without any greetings Lucy started speaking "did we do any mistake why you asked us not to contact you?" Hell I almost forgot about it. Jim saw me raising his brow. I inhaled and exhaled loudly and said "you both together didn't receive my call and that's the reason I am angry!" To be honest I was not at all angry but it was a plan for me to tease them. Jim waited there for few seconds and said that he had to leave. I waved my hand to him, then Matt said "I am sorry! I was talking to someone else." Lucy gave the same reason. I thought for some time, then asked them who were they talking with, at that time. Lucy said she was talking to her close relative. I trusted her until Matt said that he was talking to Joe. "are you lying? Joe was talking to me yesterday when you were not receiving my call and he told he was reading a book before I called him."
Lucy hold my hand and walked straight to the classroom. On the way she half yelled at me "why on the spot you are being a detective?" I saw her with my confused eyes. And once we reached the class and sat on our benches she said "Matt and I were having a talk last night when you called me. He asked me out on a date! But you completely scared him." I froze in shock for two to three minutes. I was expressionless! Lucy is my best friend, the one who asked her out was my good male friend and the one who silently loved her was my own brother. I was getting blank! I nodded and asked her what did she do. She replied to me while blushing "I agreed!" What the heck! I stood up and walked to the washroom. I was feeling exhausted, I had no idea what to do. I washed my face with water, relaxed there for some time and then headed back to the class. Lucy asked me what happened to me suddenly but I didn't reply her and I didn't want to do so...... I finally decided to talk to Joe about this matter, I told him everything that happened. He then said me "don't say Jim what happened at the school today. Just try to hide it from him, so we can get enough time to think, plan and then explain him. I will ask Matt and Lucy to not behave like lovers in front of him." I asked him will they agree. He smirked and said "lets play 'truth and dare' today and if anyone of them chooses dare then I can easily handle the matter." I thought for a while and then agreed with what he said. As Miss. Stuart was on a leave we continued with what we decided. And yes Joe easily handled the matter... At the end of the day I was calmed and was ready to face Jim.

As soon as I Entered the house, I walked to my room, not wanting anyone to see me. "Liya! You are back!" Oh s**t, I turned back to see who called my name just now. It was the servant, thank god. She asked me to have lunch but I refused to, I said her I was not feeling well and then went to my room.....It was 8:00 p.m. when I Lucy sent me a message 'hey Liya we have to go to an amusement park tomorrow after school. We invited Jim too!' What? She invited Jim too. I texted her 'okay' then went down for dinner.
Jim and Robet were already having their dinner. I joined them, none of them were saying a word. I was silent too.... Robet left to his room after having his dinner. As soon as he left Jim asked me "we are going to the amusement park right?" I nodded and gave him a smile...After having dinner, I went to my room and called Joe, and asked him "now what?" He asked me to calm down and said he will make sure that everything is going to be alright. After talking to him I went to my bed and closed my eyes to sleep......
