Our second hello

Episode 3:Too fast Too soon

We all came out from the house, it was Aria's house. Monisha and I went to assist Aria and help her arrange the house because she and her Mom had just moved in.

As her friends, we decided to help her. Monisha went to bring the car out of the garage while Aria and I waited for her at the front gate.

"Hey, if Monisha says anything hurtful to you, don't take it to heart", Aria said in a whisper. "you know her . she doesn't think before she speaks. she just says whatever is on her mind",

I just smiled. since childhood Aria had been my best friend. she always looked out for me. we were like real sisters, doing everything together.

"Monisha didn't say anything hurtful to me ", I said.

"Then why are you moody ?" Aria asked.

That was the question. why was I moody ? was it because Zayne was coming back.

I didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

" is it Raven ?"Aria asked in a tense voice. is he disturbing you again ?Tell me and I'll deal with him" I gave a small smile at the way Aria acted.

Raven. A guy who had a crush on me since basic school. He used to disturb me about dating him, but I kept turning him down. Everyone knew he liked me.

"No"I said in a low tone. "He's not disturbing me" I'm just.....confused. I don't even know why I'm moody.

"what is really upsetting you ?" Aria asked again . I didn't know. I honestly didn't know why, all of a sudden, I didn't feel like myself anymore.

"Hey girls, hop in", Monisha said, pulling down her sunglasses as she stopped the car near us.

We both entered. I was actually relieved that Aria decided to seat at the front with Monisha. That meant I was alone at the back.

At least they wouldn't see my face from here, I thought Monisha pressed the pedal and the car zoomed off, leaving dust behind us. My heart skipped.

Why was she driving fast today of all days.

If we were going slowly I could've prepared my mind for the airport. But now, we are moving too fast and I didn't feel ready.

Oh no. what if I screwed up ? How was I going to greet him ? should I ignore him ?.

My mind kept on racing, Nobody was helping me. I was all alone.

I groaned softly, just to pull myself together. it caught Monisha's attention. she looked at me through the rear view mirror.

I gave her a small smile telling her that I'm okay. While Aria was busy busy on her phone, I let out a quite sigh of relief.

The airport was just ahead.

And in less than an hour, I would see Zayne again.
