CHAPTER-12

"What happened? Are you alright? Why are you so down?" Lauren asked. Sarah was in the verge of crying. She took a deep breath and gave a smile. Obviously fake smile. "Don't I look alright?"she faked a smile. "Sarah, Don't try to push a-" Lauren was interrupted.

"Order from table 7. Go get it."one of the worker said. "This conversation is not over."she went to the table. Sarah walked towards the washroom. "Why he behaved with me that way? What did I do to him?" Sarah cried. "Is everything alright Sarah?"a voice hit her.

Sarah quickly wiped her dried tear with a napkin and headed out. "Ben?"she smiled. "Are you okay? I saw you running towards the washroom. I..I was worried about you. What's up with that guy?"he asked her.

"Don't know."she murmured.

"Don't be sad. It doesn't suit you."he clasped her.

"It's a call from Lauren. Catch ya later." Sarah left.

"Yes I came here. But not for you. It's for her. And you know that." Andrew shrugged. "Well I knew that-" Narnia spoke up. "That's good. I'll move to my room."he interrupted her.

"You're like my brother. I'll always love you. And you know that."she said. "ALWAYS? What if you left me?" Andrew asked. "Even if I'm dead. I'd love you brother."she continued. BROTHER? I'M NOT MORE THAN THAT? Andrew sighed.

Andrew smiled at the picture. The picture of him his childhood friend Sofia. I MISSED YOU SO MUCH. He thought.

"So? You're not gonna talk? We are being silent for like 2 hours girl?" Lauren broke the silence. "Nothing Lauren. I'm..tired. I have to take a nap. So if you don't mind-" Lauren cut off her. "Cool you don't want to share huh? I'll leave now."she said sternly and left.

Sarah couldn't sleep. She was restless. She remembered the way she was pushed against the wall by him for no reason. She frowned at the thought.

"How are you Mrs.Wilson?"she asked. "Come on Sofia, just Narnia."she smiled. "Where is my brother?"Sofia smiled. "Brother?" Narnia was confused. "I meant Umm..Andrew."she smiled again.

THANK GOD I DIDN'T FORGET HIS NAME. Sofia was relieved.

"You both are like same age? Right?" Narnia questioned. "Yeah but-"she was interrupted. "Sofia?" She hears her name. She turned to that direction. She saw a handsome lean and tall figure with a clear jawline and a twinkling blue eyes smiling at her. "Andrew?"she dropped her jaw.

PUBERTY HIT HIM SO DAMM HARD MAN! Her mouth was dry.

"Yeah Sofi! How are you?"he side hugged her. "Thank God I dumped him"she murmured about her ex-boyfriend. "What?" Narnia didn't hear her clearly. "No Nothing Narnia."she grinned.

"You have changed so much." Sofia said. "Really? I don't see any change." Andrew replied.

"Who is she? Like a supermodel?" some girls murmured. "Why are they starting at us?"Sofia asked. "You must ask to them."he giggled.

"Lauren What happened? Are you still angry with me? I'm so sorry. I..I can explain-" Sarah tried to convince her. "That's..not the matter Sarah. Andrew..brought a girl to school. She's so...beautiful and seems like his girlfriend."her voice broken.

"Andrew has a girlfriend?"Sarah stumbled with her words. She tried not to show any emotions radiantly. She quickly went a to a place where no one can see her in tears. "Why am I crying? Stupid! Don't cry. You don't have to. He has a girlfriend. So what? He can have one. Is there any problem with you?"she cried out.

"So Andrew-" she was cut off. "When did you stop calling me brother Sofi?"he giggled. "I was so small at the time-" she tried to give a reason. "It's okay my lil'sister."he whispered. SISTER?Sofia frowned.

"Why is she avoiding eye contact with me?"Andrew caught Sarah.

DON'T SEE HIM. DON'T SEE HIM. She chanted herself. "Excuse me Miss.Goodwin?"a voice broke her chant. She opened her eyes. "Are you sleeping? Am I that boring you?"the teacher asked her sternly. "No..No sir. I..I was having a bad headache."she defended. "Oh you can take the sick room."he offered. She quickly grabbed her materials and headed out.

HEADACHE? Andrew sighed.

"Thank God I escaped from him. For now."Sarah frowned.

"Ben? What are you doing here? Your school is like exact opposite direction of mine." Sarah was shocked. "I was going this way. Come on I'll give you a ride."he offered. "Thanks. You don't have to." Sarah smiled.

"Why is he often around her?" Andrew growled at Ben.
