Picked her up

"Why would I want you to get awake and go out to meet your friends leaving me here alone? Especially your new friend parth." Soham replied without looking at her. 

He isn't against the thought of Serene having new friends, even if it's boys, as long as they know their limits. As long as they know the meaning of true friendship and just friendship and nothing more than that from Serene. 

Parth did propose Serene once. And in return Serene extended her hand for friendship which Parth accepted. And after that Parth never crossed his line or limits and that's the only reason why Soham let that man stay around Serene even now.

"So just for that you preferred not to wake me up?" Serene commented with no hope.

"Just? Try to be in my place and then you will know. Hmph." Soham grumbled again.

"Okay okay you were right i was wrong. But don't worry it's just two more days and then I'll be in front of you." She said coquettishly.
