Brave Test

"Hey… Today I heard there was a ghost-like figure roaming around inside our college. I like to see it and check whether it is true or not?"

While I was talking about it, June just glared at me like a snake and said back, "Huh… First just drop that damn cigarette down, that smoke just hurts my lungs". And then I threw the cigarette away and asked for her answer, then she replied with a poker face, "I am not interested in it". But I know the truth very well.

At first, when I saw her, I thought she is a clumsy girl who can't do anything without any help but my opinion changed after being with her. She is just a shy girl who can't speak with other people easily and if she gets along well then June will start to show her true self without any problem. She is just the opposite of me, sometimes I just envy her for her character. What if I would be introverted and shy? Now it's not the right time to think...

"June, I know you want to come and check whether it is true or not? Even it can help you with your story concept".

Yeah… June is a story writer, well that's what she says to me but she never showed me her storybook or a single sheet of her storybook, and even when I ask about it the only reason she gives to me is… "Sorry… After finishing the book, I will give it to you for reading". But she was so shy to share her book with me. But now that's not the problem let's get into the main topic…

"June Please come with me, I need to check on it" While I was so strong on my point, it started to raise doubts in her mind. Soon she asked me the question.

"Wait a minute… Why are you compelling me so much about getting me there with you? Don't you have any friends with you?"

Yeah, I was caught by her, I have no other reason to say and escape from this situation than to tell her the truth.

"I will tell you the truth, the reason I'm calling you is that I want to check whether things are really scary and spooky. At first, I thought you were a weak and fearful girl but in truth, you are just a stronger and stupid girl who does not fear ghosts. If that place makes you afraid then my plan would be successful then I would be able to take some girls there and act like protecting them and make them fall for me in love. That's my plan… a perfect gentleman plan And that's it, nothing more or less, that's all I am sure"

While I was telling it continuously she just glared into my eyes and said, "Tell me the whole truth to me you pervert". Yep, she got me like an open book, it's my fault.

"Hey… Hey… Hey… don't call me a pervert, I am just a young boy who seeks to get love from all the girls which are called divine love"

While I was trying to change the topic, she just said, "Stop this nonsense and tell me the truth without changing the topic".

And once again I failed to lie to her and she easily got me. "Right, I will tell you the truth. I want to go there because I want to go there". And I explained to her my real reason why I need to get there.

While in the university, I was talking with some friends and one of them challenged us that no one can be at university at night because so many ghosts were wandering around. They said even the university was built upon so many dead soldiers of previous wars and they get out at night and seek revenge for their country.

After they said it to prove myself better I said to them, "I can be here without any problem, I don't fear ghosts". After saying it, my friends just teased me by saying, "I am sure you are telling lies just like always, we are not girls Brian, so don't act bravely in front of us and if you are a really brave person then tonight get inside the university without caught by guards and be inside our classroom until we get there".

"And without thinking anything I just accepted it and now I don't know what to do June, you are the only one I trust because you are my best friend"... I said everything to her and waited for a good reply but what I got is just like always… "No… I can't accept it," June said without any second thoughts in her mind.

"Getting inside is impossible. The university has more security and we can't get inside without getting caught, also I can't let my sister alone in the house. I need to help her so sorry and also you don't even think about going there".

While she was talking, all I could think about was how to make her say yes and help me here because it's like a problem with my pride, and if I don't do anything to protect it then sure I will get in trouble and my image as a great and brave man will be destroyed.

"June, I think if I am not there then sure my image of other girls like brave and handsome will be destroyed, so I have to do this".

When I said it she gave me a pathetic look and then said, "When we said that you are brave and handsome, you are an idiot Brian".

It hurt me more than before and at that time June's sister got there and asked her what was going on. Then she explained everything to her and even her sister also advised me about these things at first but fortunately, after seeing me sad she gave an idea to June.

"Hey, my sister says that going to university would be a bad idea but on the other hand in the next town, village people have an event called brave test in the mountains, couple or friends can get participate there and enjoy their time, do you want to get there tomorrow?"

When she said it, I was so happy about it and asked June, "You will come with me right?" And she replied, "Yes, you are an idiot if I let you alone then sure you would get lost somewhere and give much bigger problems. so for your safety I will come with you tomorrow".

I was happy when she said it and then it was planned that June and I were going to the mountain and participate in that brave test.
