Nora's POV:--
"Nora, you can do this." Harry said, trying to encourage me.
The atmosphere was quite tense. It was pin drop silence. Harry was looking at me with a look that says 'You need to win this'.
I was sitting right opposite to Sarah, while Harry was sitting in the middle of us both.
"ROCK PAPER SCISSOR!!!!"
A scream of victory escapes from him, making me realize that we won. I choose Scissor, whereas Sarah choose Paper. So it was a clear shot that I won.
I immediately stand up and did a weird happy dance. Especially in front of Sarah, in order to make her jealous. Harry too joined in my celebration. While Sarah was lying on the ground, looking at us grumpy look.
Harry picked me up in his arms and twirled me around, making me giggle. While someone was plotting various ways to murder us in her mind.
"I hate you both." She snapped, making us realize her presence.
"We love you too, Sweetheart." I winked at her.
"Don't be a sore loser. Just accept your defeat." Harry stated boldly.
We were right now at Sarah house for a sleepover. As usual Sarah wanted to watch Romantic Movie, whereas Me and Harry wanted to watch a Horror Movie. So we decided to play Rock Paper Scissors and the winner will get to choose the movie.
While we both were in a marvellous mood, Sarah look tense. One thing about her is she hates Horror Movies, simply because she gets scared easily.
"So which Movie?" Harry asked me.
"How about Conjuring 2?" I suggested ecstatic.
To which Harry agreed.
"Why are you turning the lights off?" She asked alarmed.
"If you so afraid, why don't you seat in the middle?" I offered to her.
We three of us were sitting on the sofas while eating pizzas. While Sarah was watching the movie through her fingers.
"You know ghost don't usually comes in such scenes." Harry whispers to her, making her relax.
She removes her hand from her face.
Just than the ghost appears on the screen, making Sarah screams her lungs out in frighten. She loses her balance and end up falling from the sofas on the ground.
"That was historic." He laughs. I bit my lip, to stop myself from laughing. But ended up joining him.
"That so cruel of you." She admitted while hitting him on his head and sat again. But more closer to me.
Throughout the movie, Sarah was playing with her necklace, while watching the movie. Whenever ghost reappear, she quickly closes her eyes.
It was a gold necklace with a 'Queen'.
"That necklace seems old." I blurted to her, when we were done watching movie. Harry was already asleep on the sofa, while we both were laying on the ground in the living room.
Her hands automatically went to the necklace.
"This was given by my first friend." She said hesitantly.
"First friend?"
"Well before I met you both guys, I usually find hard to make friends. Due to my lack of talking and shy personality. Then I met him, I immediately bonded with him. We both had many things in common in us."
"He likes comics just like me. That was the main reason how we became friends."
"Then......" She suddenly stop.
"Then?" I asked curiously.
"Our friendship of four years take a turn into something else. Something that friends don't do." She continued.
"What he did?"
"He asked me out on my birthday."
"WHAT???" Harry gasps, fully wide awake and was sitting beside us.
"You were listening our conversations?" I narrow my eyes at him.
"That's not important right now." He snapped, making my mouth shut.
"Will you please continue." He demanded.
"Yeah, sure." Sarah murmured.
"He asked me out on my birthday.........." He cuts Sarah off.
"You already stated this." He interrupts.
Making both of us girls annoyed and sit.
I throw the pillow at him.
"So I said No." She said with a sad smile.
"Why would you say no?" I asked bewildered.
"Because I was scared. Scared of losing him. He was my first friend, I didn't wanted to lose him for just a mere relationship."
"But I ended up losing him."
By this time, her eyes were filled with tears. I side hugged her.
"How?" Harry asked.
"The very next day he was gone for a year. When he came back, he wasn't the same I used to know. He was totally changed."
"You loved him, don't you?" I questioned.
"I was in love with him and now also I love him."
"Does he go to the same college as us?" Harry suddenly asked a little bit angry.
To which she nods.
"Please don't ask his name. I will tell his name to you all when I feel the time is right." She pleaded.
Now, I know why she didn't date anyone. Maybe, she is waiting for that guy till now.
I wish that she ends up with the person she loves.
***
After two days.............................,
My whole body hurts. Even moving my hand seems like a big task for me. I was laying straight on my bed, while cuddling with my Teddy.
I was facing through which every girl faces every month. That every girl hates. Pe***d.
Just then my cell phone started ringing. It was Sarah. I rejected the call, since I was too tired to talk.
And it again started ringing. I answered to call, only to pull away the cell phone away from my ear. Seems like by the end of this I will get a headache too.
"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOUUU????" She yells.
"Hello to you too, Sarah." I said sarcastically.
"Why are you not at the college?" She asked again.
"I have my birthday." I said in our codeword.
"OH!!!! My sympathy is with you, Nora."
"Are you sure you aren't dead?" She asked in concern.
"I am too exhausted to talk, Sarah. I call you later."
"Yeah, Sure. Bye, Take care."
"Bye." With I hang up.
I keep my cell phone, aside. I closed my eyes ready to go to sleep. When again my cell phone started to ring.
This time, it was Harry.
"Hello." I answered the call.
"NORA, DO YOU NEED ME TO TAKE YOU TO THE HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW?"
"For god's sake, I am not that unwell." I grunted.
"I am coming there." He claimed seriously.
"NO YOU ARE NOT." I stated horrified.
"I am fine. I just need rest." I tried to assure him.
"Okay. But I will do come there right after college." He declared.
"Bye." "Bye."
With that I hung up the call. I put the cell phone again on the table beside me and hugged the Teddy tightly. When again my cell phone started to ring, making me groan.
I ignored it, but it rang again. Getting more annoyed I answered the call, without looking who it is.
"YOU GUYS ARE MAKING A BIG DEAL OUT OF THIS. I AM NOT GOING TO DIE. IT'S JUST A PERIOD GUYS." I yelled angrily, totally pissed off.
"Calm down, Angry Bird." Said a familiar deep husky voice,.
No. I am wrong. It can't be him.
"Ryan?"
"Yes, it's me, Nora." He chuckled amused.
This is the third time that I made a fool of myself in front of him. Thank god, it's a call, so I don't need to face him. My cheeks were so red, due to embarrassment. I did not just say that to him. Did I?
