Saanvi

For the past few days I've been feeling like a punching bag. My mom has been calling me about money non-stop, which I'm running out of because I haven't been able to find a job yet. There is a coffee cart on campus but they haven't responded back to me about my application. I will worry about that later I suppose.

I'm in the lab working on the project that Arjun messed up. It's a bit complex but I'm determined to finish it. I put my hair in a messy bun and continue mixing up chemicals. The doors bust open and in walks Sy'Aire. I roll my eyes at him and continue to work.

"You haven't been answering my calls." He says.

"You're blocked." I reply to Sy'aire without looking up.

He grabs my arm which catches me off guard and makes me flinch.

"What do you want?" I spit at him.

"Tell me what happened , please." he says with pleading eyes.

He's talking about the beach situation. I haven't spoken about it at all and he keeps pressing me about it.

"Ask your friend." I say folding my arms over my chest.

"He said nothing happened," I scoffed at his words.

Nothing happened? He verbally abused me , again. I'm so sick of him treating me like shit. I'm just as smart, if not smarter, than he is. He treats me like I'm a child. He is the most wishy washy person I have ever met and I hate him.

I say nothing to Sy'aire, completely ignoring him and working on my project.

He then sits down.

"Why are you still here? I ask, turning my attention away from my work.

"Im waiting for you to talk" He replies calmly.

"For me to talk?"

"For you to talk."

He sits and studies me. I hate when he does that. He is always so level headed. I sigh knowing I will have to tell him eventually.

"When I went on my walk alone, Arjun joined me, " I stopped for a moment and looked down at my hands.

"At first I ignored him, and he then just said all these mean and hateful things to me. He said he doesnt give a fuck about me and that we arent friends just because you and I are." I say and feel all the emotions coming back up.

I don't care about what he said. I tried to convince myself. I genuinely thought we were sorta frenemies. He was so cool with me a few days ago. I'm not sure what happened or if I did anything.

Like Sy'Aire could read my mind  he gets up hugging me and tells me I did nothing.

"He is always like that." He comforted me.

I nod my head.

"I will talk to him." Sy'Aire says, breaking our hug.

"Please don't." I said to him.

I don't need  him to know his words cut me so deeply. Leaving me wounded. I don't know why I let my guard down with him.

"Okay, I won't. But if you need anything I'm here for you, always Saanvi." He says planting a kiss on my forehead.

"I need to head to class. I'm already late but I love you, goodbye" He says before leaving.

"I love you, goodbye," replays over and over in my head.
