Jealous

"Lets take a picture" Elsa said.

"Aaaah... Do we have to?" Ray asked tiredly.

"Duh... Obviously.." Adina said.

Soon they took some group photos and Elsa wanted some singles too. She wanted a photo with Ray so she thought of doing it this way.

She took pictures with both Adina and Aaron. When she went to Ray, he started covering his face for the photos and started making faces at the camera.

She kept a hold on his hand so that he wouldn't cover his face and took a photo happily.

When she reached home, she started going through the pictures and when she saw the photo with Ray ,her heart was filled with happiness, as she got a photo when she held his hand secretly.

In the photo, they were holding hands as Elsa was smiling and Ray was looking at something else . She was happy that she could hold his hand which made her heart smile.

The four of them, became close friends in a way that everyone talked to each other or made plans to go out more often.

Next week, was her cousin's marriage and as it was far away , she had to leave a few days early. As soon as she dolls up, she would send a photo of her's to the three of them and Gina and ask their opinion on how she looked. While the rest four said ," Pretty!!", she smiled .

But when Ray said," Beautiful" .. she blushed. She wanted his opinion on how she looked. She did keep a vow that she wouldn't show her true feelings but unknowingly, some of her feelings were starting to go out of control.

As you all know.., you can't blame the heart. It thinks differently from our mind.

Soon, it seemed normal to talk with him everyday, asking about his whereabouts and since she wasn't there, he would let her know things happening in college.

She had functions for three consecutive days and she asks each day for their opinion but only his opinion mattered to her.

She didn't want him to doubt and thats why she send it to all her friends. Well she did get to talk to him everyday when she wasn't in town , and that was considered a great step in their relationship.

When she returned home, she heard a news about him from Adina.She didn't want to believe it but fate had a strange way of making people accept their feelings.

She heard about him being teased by his friends for a junior and the thing that caused her heart to bleed was that she knew that junior... it was one of her old schoolmate who repeated an year before joining her college.

She didn't believe that at first, but then she saw how happy he was while talking to her. He runs to her class for some reason and talk to her.

Adina started teasing him and whenever we go out, if that junior was around , everyone starts calling , "Ray ... help me out here!!"

" Ray ... Order this for me.."

"Ray... lemmee see thaat...."

Ray would just smile and play along with them.

Elsa knew that she should be happy for him.. She knew that she should act normal.. but her heart was burning with jealousy.

She didn't know what she had to do... so she decided to play along and if he likes her, she decided to support him , even though it will hurt her to watch them being all lovey-dovey....

After all, she knew that he didn't have any interest in her, and she didn't want to be the person who says, ' If he isn't mine... then he won't be anyone's'. Elsa cracked thinking about that line as it was so dramatic. She sighed as she didn't want to be the bad person.

So whenever he talks with her, she started teasing him . One evening, when they were all waiting for him to join us, they saw that he was busy giving her a pendrive which contained something she needed.

Both of them were smiling happily , which made us leave and wait for him at the busstop. Elsa looked at them and sighed.After controlling herself,she smiled and shouted," Heeyy Ray.... We will be waiting over there... Take your time." and winked at him before leaving with Adina.

She couldn't take it, her heart hurt and she was so jealous that she wanted to hit his head and ask, 'Why her?'

After few minutes, he came running towards her and asked," Why did you leave?"

Elsa was shocked at that question but asked him," Why should I stay?"

Ray was dumbfounded at that question... He changed it and asked her," Why did you say take your time and leave me alone there?"

Elsa got pissed at his blaming and retorted, "Everyone left.. atleast I was kind enough to inform you that we will wait. "

Ray didn't think that others would leave him so he asked them and they nodded while Andy said," Why should we wait for you when you are busy talking to a girl? Leave us singles alone "

Ray was infuriated." What nonsense are you telling others!!."

Everyone just chuckled while Elsa put a fake smile on her face. She didnt know whether he had a crush on that junior but she knew it was time for her feelings to end.
