~20~ The one with novels and secrets
Hayyyy guys!
I'm a year late. Sigh ._.
xD
Sooooooo
You wanted Liam, I give you Liam.

~Liam~
I ran in rhythmic strides, matching pace with the treadmill.
I was at the gym, accompanied by Zayn and Harry. Being the fitness freaks we were, we had been working out for about an hour by now.
Only kidding, if anybody was a gym freak among us, it was them both. I hadn't been into any kind of sport ever, I just wasnt blessed with that hand and eye coordination. I have had a skinny non muscular frame for a long time which was made fun of all through school.
These two had enrolled me forcibly in a gym back at home and I had refused to go. They finally coaxed me enough to join them one day.
Let's just say, it wasn't as bad as I thought. Abs soon grew on my otherwise barren body. It was borderline miraculous. The tricky part was maintaining it. It involved hard work and pain. I wasn't complaining though.
My legs were starting to burn and I decided it was wise to stop. Still panting, I grabbed a towel and wiped my sweating face with it.
"I have worked out enough for today I guess. I'm done." I announced
"Good for you." Harry mumbled "What about you Zayn?"
"I think I'm going to work out a bit more. Me and my fat thighs." He said, shaping his left thigh for emphasis.
"You sounded like a girl, man." He laughed "But yeah, me too."
"You're both animals." I shook my head at them and they just shrugged and grinned in unison.
I grabbed my gym bag and sat down in one corner. Grabbing my bottle of energy drink, I downed half of it in one gulp.
While throwing the bottle back into my bag, my eyes landed on a book. Kritika's book to be exact.
Might as well read to kill time, I thought to myself grabbing it.
"The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants." I muttered to myself, smiling a little.
"Hey Liam." she called out "have you read this book?" she asked me grinning goofily.
"The Sisterhood of the traveling pants." I read the title "Seen the movie. I didn't know it was based on a book though."
She clucked her tongue at me, waving the book.
"It's right here. See? This is why I have a love hate relationship with book adaptations." she said,more to herself, shaking her head.
"Making a movie on a book can lead to two things. Number one, the movie is better than the book and hence leaves an everlasting impression on the minds of the viewers. Or Number two, the movie is a total fail and hence ruins the story." she explained animatedly.
"Never thought of it that way." I mused. "And what category does this lie in?" I asked, gesturing towards the book.
She grinned and held up two fingers, wiggling them lightly.
"It's been ruined for me." she sighed "But you've only seen the movie.. and not read the book. So, here."
She held out the book towards me and I hesitated. Rolling her eyes, she all but shoved it in my face and I grabbed it from her. Just as I took it from her it looked like she changed her mind and grabbed it back.
"No, wait. I'll give it to you later. Stacey is reading it. Well, she's almost finished reading it. So I'll give it to you as soon as she finishes. Okay?."
"Okay.." I trailed, examining the book.
"She's almost done with it though." she added thoughtfully.
I nodded wordlessly, partially because I was examining the book and partially because I was temporarily tongue tied.
I almost laughed at the memory. She had left no scope for any counter argument.
Sitting cross legged, I opened the book and began reading it. As usual, she was right. The novel was pretty interesting so far.
Someone pinched my shoulder causing me to jerk up in surprise.
"Jesus, you scared me." I exclaimed.
"I know I'm handsome and all but please do not compare me to God. Zayn would do, okay?" he said seriously. I gave him a look and he laughed "I called you three times. Three, dude. But you didn't repond. I had no choice really." he shrugged. "We're leaving now. Coming?"
"Yeah, give me a minute." I said dusting my hands and grabbing my bag.
"Hurry up princess or we're leaving without you." Harry called. His voice sounded muffled so I'm guessing he was standing outside.
I looked up and saw that Zayn wasn't there either.
Shit.
A sudden wave of deja vu hit me. This had happened before. And they had gone without me, forcing me to take a bus back home. I have always hated buses. Maybe it was the number of people on them or the fact that buses often shook like it was having a seizure, I never really considered them as a travelling option. The fact that someone had stolen my wallet the last time didn't really help the case. I shivered at the memory.
Yeah, not a good idea.
I got up and sprinted across the room. Unnecessary really, but I knew that if they could leave me behind once they could very well do it a second time. Suddenly my foot caught onto something and I fell onto the floor with an audible splat
Luckily, there weren't many people at the gym today, save for an old man who had his back to me and was on a cycle. He hadn't turned around despite the commotion and I son knew why. A loud snore echoed across the room as the man slept peacefully. He had both feet on the pedals and was leaning pretty uncomfortably onto the handle. Another snore echoed across the room. He had been here even when we had arrived. He must've been tired.
You and me both.
I heard the car start outside and Zayn let out a loud whistle "We will leave without you."
"I fell, don't you see? I'll be there in a minute. Don't you dare leave without me." I warned getting up and picking up my bag. There was a crash as all my stuff fell out of the open zip. I cussed loudly "Great, just f..flipping great. Help me will you?" I called out to Zayn as he now stood at the glass door, peering inside.
His breath fogged the glass as he spoke "I'll be in the car." he said and left before I could say anything else. Jerk.
I squatted and quickly started throwing my stuff back into the bag. I lifted the book off the ground gingerly and a piece of paper fell out of it.
I picked it up and I turned it around. It wasn't a piece of paper. It was a picture. It didn't look too old though it did have a tinge of yellow to it.
There was a young bespectacled girl, not more than 16 years old. There was no doubting who she was. The dimpled smile was unmistakable.
Kritika.
She had her arms around a grinning boy who looked a little older. She was poking his cheek with one of her fingers.
But that's not what made me stop and stare.
The boy who was grinning cheekily back at me from the photo was sitting in a wheelchair.

❤Happy New year my pretty munchkins❤
Kay loves you all. No really. She does. And she hopes you all have a great year ahead of you. And She needs to stop referring to herself in third person now because it's clearly getting irritating
Buh bye 2013 :')
Hayyyy 2014!
The aim is to leave all the bad memories of 2013 behind and cherish all the good ones AND leave plenty of room for new ones.
So the golden question now.. What are your new year resolutions?
Better yet, what were your last year's resolutions? And did you follow them? :P
(Because what's the use if you make resolutions and not follow them. That's like having a tub of ice cream in front of you and not eating it. Okay, wrong example.)
Let me know in a comment below. Wow I sound like a youtuber. MAKE SURE YOU SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL AND GIVE A BIG THUMBS UP! (Y)
