Soha's pic on the side

Soha's point of view:

I stared at her in horror. Mahi gave me an innocent look as if she didn't say anything ridiculous.

She got the meaning of my staring like that.

"Don't be such a wuss. It's just for fun. "

I groaned again at the mention of fun. Why did she always choose this word to refer something amusing or enjoyable out of all the other words?

I hated the word with every fiber of my body.

She called me a wuss! Oh! How the tables has turned! It was me who always used to dragged her to do something adventurous.

"ha. .. Soha. . . Are you listening to me?" I got back to planet earth.

"Yeah, sorry I zoned out for a sec." I said frowning.

"Don't frown, you are getting wrinkles already." She dared to smirk while delivering this earth shattering news!

Jumping out of my seat, I raced to the dressing table. I saw my face in the mirror. There wasn't any sign of wtinkles on my face. I  sighed feeling relived, and got back to my seat next to Mahi's.

I saw the smirk still playing on her lips which she tried to hide.

"What's so funny? I'm twenty three, not forty three."

Now her smirk got bigger,  obviously which she wasn't trying to hide anymore.

"How will I know that you are not 43. You sure act like one. Always the serious, silent, reserved one between the two of us. And the fun wrecker too."

"Is that even a real word?" I asked her. Expect her to say something like that. I heard those words of accusation but decided to play ignorant because it was true.

"That's not my point. My point is though you are 23. You act like you are 43."

"Oh! All these complement I'm getting is because I don't wanna open a fake account on Facebook?" I asked her sarcastically, feeling a little irritated.

It wasn't the first time I had heard that. I tried to remember when was the last time I had fun or what fun stuff I did other than working or studying.

"Try running a business as well as maintaing cgpa above 3.75." I huffed.

Suddenly her tone became soft.

"I just want to see you like before. This is not you,Soha. I just want my best friend back who used to plan all the fun things, used to make others laugh."

Huh? what? We're not twelve anymore, you know? I wanted to tell her.

"And you think by creating a fake account will make me like before?" I questioned.

How exactly opening a fake account would help me! I thought.

She shook her head, "No, but I believe, you will get to know other people. It'll make you forget your pain even for a few minutes. Besides, I want to stalk my ex."

I took a deep breath and pondered over her words.

There's no harm in opening an account. It's not like I'll use it or anything. At least she'd stop nagging me. And she will forget about it eventually once the vacation is over.

"Okay."
