Hey

  I wanted to take back that again. That was a new habit that I have developed these days. I don't like it one bit. 

  "What?" I feigned ignorance. 

  'Please, please work this time.' I begged .

  He was still as persistent as he was before. So even after my lots of begging it did not work.

  He gave me a smirk. But played along. I knew otherwise.

  "Some people don't change a lot, right?" He asked me.

  I looked at him silently. I wanted to agree with him. But my ego was not allowing me to do so.

  I looked away from him. 

  "Let me tell you a story," he said. I looked at him with frowned eyebrows. I do not know why he was being so friendly out of nowhere that was new for me.

  I knew he had a nature to be friendly when he wanted to, but right now I don't gather what was the ocassion. 

  "I had a friend in high school, just like you." He looked at me.

  I felt my breaths hitching in my throat.
