Its regretting time, I say to myself.. What can I do, what can I do? I keep thinking how to make them regret..
May I sit here? I hear someone say next to me..
Riya: why are you here? Are you following me?
Ella: you remember when you said, "see you soon" then it is now. Or maybe it's just a coincidence..
Riya: What? What are you talking?
Ella: I heard your conversation with Sadie and your ex bestfriend and also what her cousin's told you too.
Riya: You are following me? What's wrong with you? And you listened to my conversation.. How dare you?
Ella: Come' on everybody who was inside heard your "blab" with Sadie and so with your "exbestie"..
Riya: Good that you heard it then.. Thank you for reminding me, i say and continuing to browse my book.
Ella: I know what you are thinking too..
Riya: what do you mean? I ask with a wondering face..
Ella: you are thinking of revenge. Don't ignore it
Riya: well, okay thats enough for today. I'm leaving you can sit here. I say as I get up from my chair, putting my pc in my bag and picking up my books.
Ella: Maybe I can help you..
Riya: I stop from where I am and turn to see Ella with a wide smile on her face... What did you just say? I ask her raising my eyebrows..
Ella: You did hear me right Riya.. I can help you.
Riya: I smile a little but I'm not accepting this.. Thank you, But NO. I don't need anybody's help. I can do anything on my own..
Ella: Thats great then. Fine, yet I'm leaving you my number.. Call me or text me when you are ready for my help. You will need me. You cannot do this alone.. See you
Ella_
I heard her talk with them. Why are they being rude to her. I knew Riya in primary school and now in college. I can say she has not changed a bit. Riya is also not an introvert to stay muted while others threatening her. She says what comes out of her mouth and what is inside her head. Riya and Dana had been in a friendship bond ever since i don't know. All I know that they were friends for their entire life. Dana was also in the same primary school. Well everyone knows they are bestfriend, but not anymore. I am going to help her anyway, she will need me.
Aline_
I vent myself on Riya, after all these s*cking years. I told her what more I wanted to say. I don't regret it, infact I am proud, I don't believe i could tell her so much. Dana kept quiet and still she hasn't said a word, hope she doesn't get over me. I have always wanted to break this connection between them. Riya is the main reason for which Dana and I never had a close relationship. We talk, we meet, but never had this close relationship like they do. I waited for this moment to happen and finally. Dana and I used to be, I will say "good friends" until the day she had to leave to her new home in another city. She comes to Boston, the city where I live for every summer and we would really enjoy together. But her bestfriend became Riya, and she would avoid telling me her secrets or even share her feelings .. As I grow up, I started feeling annoyed everytimes she would talk to Riya on the phone. One day, I got an idea. We were playing truth or dare and Dana wouldn't expose her or Riya's secrets so I dared her to break one friendship rules. It wasn't an easy task but I made it. Later on when Riya learnt about it, Dana was the one who suffered, definitely like she is the one who crossed the line. I enjoyed seeing them falling apart since then, for the last summer, it was easy to catch up the time we already lost. I can say we became very good friends this time. I asked my dad's permission to let me learn in the same college as Dana and that we would spend our times teaching each other... Dana hasn't asked me anything about what I invented yet...
Dana_
I screwed up. I couldn't utter a word , I feel astonished after what Aline said to my bestfriend.. She deviated everything. We talked about it last night and now she messed everything up. I don't believe it. Now its all my fault.
How do I turn Riya back to me. I miss her already.. "Are you okay" Aline asked me touching my wrist softly.
Dana: yes, I tell her, removing my hand from her touch and covering my face with both my palms. Well.. I think we did wrong. I say while my tears fall and I try to wipe it away..
Aline: No, you are not wrong, listen whatever happened out there had to happen. She deserved it. And after all what she did how could you forgot it. She hurt you first, also she never came to apologize, she shouldn't have had your friendship. Now I don't want to see you shedding tears for her. You are not at fault okay..
Dana: yeaa, I will try to foccus on other things.. I press my lips..
Riya_
I make my way out of the college after classes, when my eyes happen to hit on them. They were getting in the car. It belongs to Aline. It is a Range Rover. Aline's parent are full enough to give her what she desires. I am not jealous at all I am rich too but wonder why my mom never wanted to give me a car. Even I never liked to get a driver to college,.I preferred to walk like always.. I reach home 20 minutes later. I bang the door as I close it and it awakes my mother from her nap.
Mom: Riya, is that you?
Riya: No, it's probably chucky trying to invade in.
Mom: Not surprising to hear you talking to me very well.
Riya: ummhumm. Trying to avoid a conversation with my mom, because I know she will start questioning me like FBI in no time. I climb slowly the stairs hoping she doesn't speak again..
Mom: Riya is everything going well? You do not seem to be alright.
Riya: No mom everything is going very smooth and I am feeling better than any other days.
Mom: yes. Really. Riya maybe you are very intelligent but you shouldn't try to fake your feelings, I know something is wrong.. My mom was still talking and I continue my way but I can here her talking to me till I arrive to my room and shut the door. I just want to sleep. I take my way straight to the bathroom, I take a shower. I chose to wear a crop to and a pair of jeans today, after putting on my clothes I try to take a catnap.
2hours later...
I wake up trying to know the time, looking around to find the time, my eyes catch that clock which I have never charged since I got it from my aunt. Now I know its' value. The sky is turning darker. Where is my phone?, I try to think where I kept it because since I got home I had not touch it. I remember putting it in my bag thinking it would rain on my way home after school . I try to reach my bag which is on the table like one meter away from me. Stretching my hand to pull it, unfortunately it falls, I get up from my bed and pick up my things on the floor including my phone. Suddenly I feel something left under my foot, I take it and it is Ella's card. It has her number on it. I don't know if I can trust her and why should I even be. I can give it a try, after all I will really not be able to do it alone, somehow she was right.. I dial her number while it is still ringing I notice her full name written on the card "Elleanora Gruchzman" what a name, lol.. After waiting for her reply she finally answer her mobile. I guess she let it rings.
Riya: hey, its Riya you gave me your card earlier this morning.
Ella: I remember in fact I was waiting for your call, I knew you would call anytime.
Riya: good that you waited. I just wanted to call and talk about..
Ella: Let's meet? She say cutting my answer
Riya: What right now? I don't think my mom..
Ella: No, not now ummm but in ten minutes I will wait for you in the park. Bye and she cut the call.
Shoot! I gotta rush. Quickly I pick up my shoes and wear them on.. I am about to open the door when it happens the door opens by itself. It is my mom again.
Mom: who were you talking to?
Riya: mom it's just Dana, I have to collect something from her. I get to go.
Mom: No I forbid you to go out at this time.
Riya: Mom, I am not a kid anymore you have to let me do..
Mom: No and I mean it
Riya: Fine, I go back closing my door.
I waited a for some time and decided to jump from the window in my room which is right in front of my bed
My mom is always so protective . I am running to reach the park fast. Ella must be thinking that I lied to her. But i have no time to call her I rather keep running. Finally I arrive at the park and she is sitting on the very first bench, watching the cool guys running. Wow it is pretty fun at night here. I have to come much more often. Hi i say to her..
Ella: hey, how are you? And she stands up guving me a handshakes..
Riya: I'm great how about you?
Ella: I am absolutely fine..
Riya: sorry for my lateness, it is my mom I had to jump from the window
Ella: hahaha what don't tell me she doesn't let you go out.
Riya: No I am allowed, but I must be already home before it darkens.
Ella: I understand, same it is for my mother too. I am allowed to bring friends of her types only, hang out with no more than three friends and better get home before 9pm. Nothing different from yours.
Riya: wow yeaa not different at all, hahaha. We are getting on very well, our first conversation isn't bad. We do also have some similarities, I feel better now..
Ella: Are you hungry?
Riya: yeaa I haven't eaten yet.
Ella: then lets go find a good table.
Riya: great I like the idea.
We leave from the bench we are sitting on and stop near a McLaren 720s. This sportcar looks amazing I have ever seen. It is a red car with 2 doors. Anybody would notice it from far. It is very attractive.
Riya: what are we doing here?
Ella: Oh, Riya this is Laren and... Laren this is Riya.
Riya: what? Are you talking to a car. Are you serious?
Ella: wanna go for a ride?
Riya: wait. No don't tell me. it is your car.
Ella: yes it is, don't you like it? I got it from my father on my last birthday.
Riya: Oh My GOD this is just sooo amazing. I love it.. wow.
Ella: then lets go..
I get in the car, it is the most comfortable car I ever got in. I better start to ask my mom for a car too. We ride to a near cafeteria to have something to fill our belly. It was full of people enjoying their food and they look very friendly. They all start to stare at us as we enter in. Look like they have never seen us around before. Then comes the waiter giving us the menu. We both choose to have crepes and have a coffee. At the time we are talking.
Ella: So how did you meet Dana?
Riya: we live not so far from each other and at the time my mother used to go to her house very often. And we became friends.
Ella: Why did she suddenly stopped talking to you?
Riya: well it all started when, she broke the rules.
Ella: Rules? What kind?
Riya: The friendship rules.
Ella: Oh these stupid friendship rules. Why do some still making these.
Riya: she lied. And however stupid the rules are, it shouldn't be broken. Well she went so far with it. I yell
Ella: uhuuh and what did she lied about? Can you go fast my food is less than your story...
Riya: well, she dated my stepbrother for the entire summer. Yes I have a step brother my mom and dad are separated. I tell her because she is shocked hearing I have a step bro. And I didn't know about it. She would make any pretext just to avoid me everytime She went to stay with her cousin. I don't know why she hid such thing from me. More, why did she even broke the rules. She could talk about it to me.
Ella: you are still wondering why she did it? Come on she got tired with these rules damn it. I would have surely go against it too.
Riya: yeaa but she could have still speak to me about this. She even met him. She was not even attracted to him.
Ella: you're right, she did it with her own consentment and even she knew that this has an effect on you both. She knew you would be hurt and how this can end.
Riya: Then unexpectedly I had to go to my father's place. My mom had to be absent for 2 weeks. I went there and met them both sitting on the couch.
Ella: wow....... I don't have word. Then?.
Riya: I didn't stay longer, my mom had already left always I have a reserve key of the house in my bag and I went back home.
Ella: what are you thinking of doing next? I mean how to make them regret it?
Riya: I think we will start with Aline. We will ruin her car. I say in an evil way.
Ella: How?
Riya: trust me it will be fun...
We pay the bills and leave
Ella rides me back home as it is getting very late and we will continue to text each other later.
Ella: hey Riya, if you want I can pick you up tomorrow, what say? Ella asks me as I get out of her car.
Riya: In this car?
Ella? Yep, would you like to?
Riya: yess, I will wait for you. Don't be late then bye see you.
