Mahi's POV

***

He stopped when he was just a single centimeter away from me,

"Mahi, I know you read my journal." He smiled sheepishly and pulled away to a normal human distance.

"I just needed proof, and I saw how quick your heart was beating..." He mumbled his confession and I breathed a sigh of relief.

"I don't know how you feel about it," He mustered up his guts and looked at her in the eye. "But right now, you need me as a friend."

"And that's what I'll be, a good friend." He grinned and walked back toward the gym. 

What just happened.?

I closed my eyes and drew deep breaths, recounting everything that had happened. He'd just confessed that he did like me, but he was going to be my friend?

Well, that's just peachy! I'm even more confused now...

"How do I feel?" I wondered out loud and was walking in a random direction. I bumped into someone and drew a breath to apologize. Rahul, AKA Mr.Chatterbox.

"Did that lunatic finally confess?" Rahul demanded, and I drew a breath.

"Because if he didn't, I owe Sanju three hundred rupees." Rahul began his rant about how the entire RR team and MI team had betted to see if Mayank would finally confess.

"He confessed didn't he?" Rahul grinned, and I jerked my head up, suprirsed.

"Your cheeks are so red that they tell the entire story!" He laughed, but his laughter died when I squeezed my eyes shut.

"I don't know how to feel...."

Mahi is the middle of an emotional moment, 

Why not cut her off with a cliffhanger? ;D
