Where was he? How long it takes to walk with a person to their car making sure no one comes near them and asks for an autograph or stop them from going into crazy fandom mood. And also to be careful not a single media people get a glance of them. And after that he had to talk to our always on declamation mode Principal. How long this all can take?

"Still waiting for Krish?" I turned around at his voice.

It was Abhi.

He was in his cricket uniform and held his bike helmet under his arm. He had to straightway go to the practices after dropping Myra to her house and then he had his coaching and after all this he returned back to his home. So his father did what he want and Abhi was doing what he wanted.

It had been nearly an hour since the school got over but there were no sign of Krish. He had the after break duty so he had also to make sure to guard Pratiksha to her car securely with the help of our security guards. Usually it took not more than half an hour but today it was way past that.

I replied to Abhi's question, "yeah what choice do I have?"

Abhi looked at me, "you can come with me"

I frowned pointing at him dumbly, "you?"

He nodded, "on my bike I can drop you"

I folded my arms trying not to smile, "and what about Myra?"

Abhi tilted his head as if considering it now, "we can do tripling?"

"And get caught by traffic police? nahh besides it won't be comfortable for the long ride, anyway thanks Abhi,"

Abhi nodded looking at the exit driveway, "how long are you going to wait?"

Something about his tone was different.

I fiddled with my bag straps answering, "how long it takes"

He looked back chuckling, "what if it takes forever?"

Are we being cryptic Abhi?

I inspected him trying to decipher his words. "I don't think it will take forever,"

He continued looking at me, "I also"

I dropped my hands making a somber face, "Abhi do you want to tell me about something?"

I hinted him about Myra.

He mirrored my expression, "Kyra do you want to tell me about something?"

I was literally taken aback I shook my head immediately looking away.

"Oh you're here," Myra joined making her way towards us.

Abhi glanced back at her smiling her wearily. "Coming " he once again offered, "Kyra it's hot here are you sure you want to wait?"

I contemplated do I want to go? what if Krish came and he didn't find me. He must be also tired and after my morning statement I can't just leave like that and keep it hanging for tomorrow. And not to miss I have to complete the first step.

I finally answered, "I don't have any choice,"

Abhi raised his brow, "you have it's a difficult one,"

He used my words on me!

They left making my suspicion from 50% to 80%.
Abhi knew.

And he was hurt that I didn't tell him like I was he didn't tell me. So he wasn't the only one responsible for our now diminishing friendship.

25 minutes later when entire campus was vacated.

I got that Krish left me. He had gone with maybe Pratiksha he was so disappointed by my statement he thought yeah Kyra isn't even the worth of being my friend.

I had to take the taxi now.

Slowly, I walked to the exit gate looked back one last time. I sighed.

This is it.

I pressed my temples.

Come on, I need to reach home.

I told mummy about my new schedule but it's now late for that also. Great another lecture waiting at home for me.

I scrambled ahead aimlessly, thoughts wild running in my head.

I didn't have money on me. Not even a coin. I spent them on eating and paying debts of I don't know to whom I took from.

God now I have to walk to home.

The sun was at his own glory no mercy. I wanted to punch something, I wanted to shout.
Didn't realise I was running when I ran out of breath. Staggering I slumped down to one of the steps of a house. My head held in my hands breathing hard. I wanted to just to go home. I don't want to this I don't know -

"Kyra!"

"Kyra! Oh God Kyra you are here I was searching the whole school I said you to wait- what are you - Anything happened?"

I felt someone's hand on my shoulder.

Was I hallucinating.

I cautiously peeked up.

Krish knelt down in front of me, "Kyra I'm sorry I was late some media people came I didn't know how to handle that I didn't know it was my first time but drop that ...tell me someone hurt you just tell me-

I breath out in relief. He was real. Of course he was. Trying not to be to happy about it. I amorphous my previous state to anger now.

I beat him with my bottle
"Ow.. yeah like this we'll beat him," he said avoiding as I thrashed it on his arm .

"You took your own time what do you think I'll just wait there! You have a mobile couldn't make a use of it-

He sat down there giving up as I didn't stop.

"Okay beat me",

Like hell I won't!

"I deserve that" I slapped with it on his cheek.

He narrowed his eyes, "my phone was dead"

And then the other cheek.

He covered them continuing, "but how could you even think I'll leave you alone-

I halted the blow now to on his head

"And go home"

Yeah right, I poked his forehead with it.

"And that's it for today" he yanked me by my hand and also my bottle.

Dragging me beside him he went on, "you will never run away Kyra promise me . It's not safe how could you even think of leaving without informing me. I was so worried and called your mother,"

I pulled my arm out from him, irritated, "why do you call my mother everytime do I look like some kid to you? She is already so overbearing-

Krish frowned at my statement, "overbearing? she thinks only good for you Kyra besides, I called because I need to know if you're back to your home. I don't think you're a kid you are my friend ,"

Oh God I covered my face. I'm so tired now.

"Just take me home Krish, I have had enough for today,"
He watched me now with concern, "something is bothering you, you can tell me you know?"
I faked a smile, "right,"

•••••••

I tip toed passing the dinning room.

"Mummy will be late di she said immediately call her once you're back," Harsh narrated from the dinning table.

Oh it will be a text

"You're alone?" I asked.

Harsh looked up keeping the spoon, "dadi (grandmother) is here"

Wonderful..

His face scrunched up, "she said after lunch both of us come to her room she will tell us something,"

Oh that will one of her nth Haridware tales.

Leisurely, I went into the Kitchen

"And yes mummy said not to skip the lunch"

Instantly, I checked what was there for today karela (bitter gourd) I groaned.

"What about last night's Khoya Paneer?"

I looked back when he didn't reply.
He showed his empty bowl grinning, "Finished!"

"You're born to annoy me,"

••••••

Unsatisfied I laid on my bed, my phone rang.

Rishabh

Give it a rest, I answered anyway
"Did you read it completely?"

"I'm not really in a mood of reading a book!"

"Alright! Don't shout, by the way he'll be busy he's playing PUBG now Abhi's practice was cancelled and he bunk the classes"

Another thing they didn't included me in.

Ughhhhhh

"Tell them I'm officially upset now,"

"Oh no I was not allowed to tell you they will kill me or throw me to enemy-

I cut off his lamenting.
Now I need to recharge myself.

•••••••

My eyes snapped open at I squinted to see the time. 11pm !
I got up how could I sleep for like? I counted 6hrs!

I got up taking the duvet along with me someone pulled it back. It was Harsh sleeping. I pinched his nose. He swatted my hand glaring, "your phone is disturbing me I can't sleep!"

Oookaayy

I leaned towards the side table. And grabbed it. Oh God So many notifications from Instagram.

You see how much we love you Kyra we want you to smile and not bring tears by posting some emotional and sappy posts.
So forgive us like you did when we sang sorry or we gave you cup set so you could throw each and cool down.|
