At Lakshmi's house
Lakshmi's POV
I am an only child so I don't have anyone to talk to or to play with. Being very spoiled, I got used to getting whatever I wanted in the blink of an eye. I didn't even realize the monster I was slowly turning into and there was no one to put me on the right track.
I didn't even know what it felt like to be loved by anyone especially after the event that broke me completely. I retired to bed in preparation for school the next day.
I went to school and Mia could notice my change in attitude, I wasn't looking as bright as I normally did.
"Why the long face?" Mia asked me as we sat at the lunch table, munching our food during recess.
"It's nothing, I'm okay" I lied.
"You are lying, you are trying to avoid eye contact with me which is a normal reaction when humans want to lie" Mia clearly stated the obvious.
"You avoid eye contact with me all the time, does that mean you are always lying to me?" I raised an eyebrow.
