NANDINI POV
Sid and I were walking through the streets of the city where I've never walked before. It was nice just walking around, expressing how I felt with all the Manik and Navya stuff that was going on.
SID: "But nothing happened between you two, right?" he asked
Of course not, who does he thinks I am
"Of course, not Sid, why would you even ask me that?" I responded annoyed
He knows me, I wouldn't just kiss anyone..even though Manik isn't just anyone.
SID: "Good" he answered
He sounded relieved like he was happy nothing happened between us
SID: "Wait Nanz," he said out of nowhere
"What? What's wrong Sid?" I asked curiously
SID: "I lied about coming over here, I actually had class today but I skipped..for you.."
Wait, what was he saying? Did he skip class for me? why? Why now?
"Ummm okay? But why now, why not like a few months ago?" I asked
SID: "I.." he sighed like it was really tough what he was about to say
SID: "I've missed you"
"Oh, I've missed you too" I responded punching his upper arm
I continued my walk but Sid wasn't following me
"Are you coming or what?"I asked
He ran towards me and walked beside me
Sid stopped and made me stop after a few minutes of silently walking next to each other
SID: "Okay no, I'm just gonna go for it," he said
He leaned in closer and I knew what he was about to do, call me a girl with experience. Not in the wrong way, but in a way that lately every guy wants to kiss me.
"What are you doing?"I asked slowly while watching him leaning in
SID: "Something I wanted to do since forever" he whispered.
"Okay NO!"I said which made him jump
SID: "I wanted to confess this earlier but I never got a chance, I always had feelings for you"
"I thought we were friends? Why are you running that?"I asked annoyed
What was wrong with the guys in this city? I'm not that special, I don't even understand what these guys see in me.
SID: "I thought you like me too Nandini, I've seen how jealous you were when I was around other girls," He said taking my hands in his and pulling me to him
"I'm going to say this one time only, I don't have any feelings for you..go back from where you came from!" with that being said, I left and didn't turn around
I don't understand, why is this always happening to me? First Manik then Maddy and now Sid. I thought he was a good friend, but all this time he secretly liked me
There's nothing wrong with liking anyone, it's what you do with that feeling that made it right or wrong. And Sid knew everything about me, about my religion, and about me not being interested in guys. And that's why it made me this angry
Why can't I just my feelings off that would help a lot
I was heading home, for the first time alone... Actually second time.
MANIK POV
I wasn't feeling too well when I arrived home, and this wasn't the first time.I had a headache for a few days now and I was coughing really hard and repeatedly. But it was worse now
I went to the bathroom as I had this feeling that I would vomit, and a few seconds later I was hanging with my head above the toilet.
MOM: "Manik are you okay?" she asked through the bathroom door.
I cleaned my mouth when I was done so I could respond.
"Yeah mom I'm fine, drinking yesterday wasn't that smart of me hahaha"I responded
MOM: "Well, now you know what not to do," she said and left
I haven't been drinking for the last month, something else was causing this, I just didn't know what.
I looked in the mirror and washed my face. I dried myself off and combed my hair as it was all over the place. I looked at myself one more time and was about to walk out of the bathroom. That was until I noticed a lot of hair on the floor, it was not my mother's nor my sister's because they are too short. It was mine, I was losing hair...I was losing hair, I was vomiting, had a bad cough and a headache. That could only mean two things, either I caught a cold or...or my cancer is back.
No, it couldn't be, I was probably just sick. I cleaned up the hair and went to my room. The thought of my cancer being back scared me
What if..what if I end up like my father?
No! I need to stop the negative thought, I'm just sick like a normal person. I'm going to take in some pills for my cold and sleep early today
I'll be okay, I hope.....
