Collaborative FF:Grew Young Together...PAGE 14, CHAPTER 12 UPDATED! - Page 5

So cute update!! Pragya worried for abhi's low mark n his interest in tht movie..pragz & abhi's cute fight coz of my..his care to make her laugh ..just loving it girls ⭐️

Nivs&Nadz!! I totally forgot I never read chapter 4 or 5! So excited, here we go!

Okay chapter four:

SO, I remember I loved Prem a little more than Abhi...still valid. And I think its adorbs how he's petrified of Pranav! That whole Goa Trip description was so much fun! You guys make me want to become a kid again, esp when you guys described the sandcastle competition. I'm surprised Abhi's parents agreed to go on this trip, considering how they're much different from Pragya's fam!

Is Prem jealous of Abhigya?? Awww, Abhi's jealous of Prem and Pragya!! I loved that he openly admitted that and Pragz reassured him that no one could take his place. Such simple people. Show Abhigya must learn from these two!

Wait, did we get a flashforward? A mini leap? They were in kindergarten before na? And now in 6th grade?

Guys have you ever seen Boy Meets World? Your story is giving me BMW vibes, and I absolutely loved that show. I feel like Abhi is a mini Cory Matthews. He was the same adorable, "still-struggling-to-figure-out-the-wold, very possessive about the people he likes" type of guy.

This cracked me up!!

My excitement got cut down as I saw Arjun passing by. I wondered why on earth should he join the same school as us. I was a little relieved that he belonged to a different class. I never liked him because he had the habit of coming between me and Pragya. Pragya was my best friend and no one should have dared to come between us.

LOLL, bechara Arjun! You're giving me so many possibilities of a third wheel for Pragya, I'm so excited!! And Prem might need chasmas, which means Prem and Pragya are both going to be chashmishes? HOW is Abhi going to tolerate that??

I'm so glad you guys decided to write this and with each chapter, the story keeps getting better and better. The cuteness/adorbs factor is still there, yet the problems/situations get a tad more grown up. I'm LOVING IT!!!

It's awesome. So Abhi got angry on Pragya. But how can they become angry on each other for long?? Abhi just gave him his cap with a smile and they became normal. So Abhi's interest in learning music is increasing. It is the step to success in becoming superstar. Arjun is disgusting. What is wrong with Prem?? I think he is suffering from big disease. Hope everything will be fine with him.
Thanks for pm. Do continue soon.

Chapter 6

He

It was another day in school, same routine like always. One thing that was awfully weird when I arrived school today was the behavior of Pragya. If it was any other day Pragya would come up and greet me and Prem then we would hang out all day, but this time she nod her head to Prem and completely blanked me. Prem looked at me and I just shrugged at him as I had no clue what was going on. All I saw from my very own eyes was Pragya going towards Arjun talking ever so sweetly at him whilst they were sharing a book, which seemed to be a notebook that Pragya may have passed on to Arjun. I had a sharp feeling in my throat seeing all this. There was no way that that would be Arjun's book he was not exactly a intelligent but more like a cool guy. Okay let me rephrase that, more like a wanna be cool guy. As we all walked in to the classroom we sat on our original seats. I was giving glances at Pragya throughout the lesson but not once I saw her look at me. The only time I caught her was, to be more precise I was not exactly sure but from the corner of my eyes she looked at me, as soon as I acknowledged it, I looked at her straight away and within that time frame she started looking at the board while the teacher was talking. I felt like I was hallucinating. I thought everything was well between me and Pragya. My mind was boggling me. All I was thinking of why is she acting so strange around me. I couldn't even concentrate on my English Literature class either.

As soon as class got over, I went to Pragya. Before I could talk to her, Prem came and asked her a doubt in our Science lesson. Should I tell what happened then? They started discussing for almost 20 minutes. I was sitting near Prem with my face resting on my hands whilst waiting for them to finish their talk. Thankfully, our maths teacher passed by our class and asked us not to stay long after class. So Prem and Pragya wrapped up and we went out of the class. I asked Pragya why was she avoiding me. She told me that she didn't do anything like that. There was hint of indifference in her tone. "Best friends don't have secrets", she murmured. I wondered what she was talking about.I tried to ask her further but she said it was getting late and started walking home. Prem also said the same. While taking our cycles from the parking area, I saw Arjun taking his cycle. "Why is he going home late?", I thought. I scolded myself for thinking about him. Why does it matter to me? When we passed only few inches from the school entrance, I told Prem that I will go and meet Pragya. I added that I will join him in few minutes. He asked what was so urgent. I didn't reply and started cycling in the opposite direction. Pragya had just crossed the street. But there was someone else walking with her. It was her new friend Arjun. I tightened my hand grip on my cycle. I cycled faster than ever. Just when I was about to get near them, Pragya started walking towards the middle of the road towards a puppy. I saw a car coming and pulled her away leaving my cycle to fall on the ground. She started crying.

I had a rough morning which I wanted to get out of. As soon as my mum dropped me at school outside the entrance I was feeling numb. I had no idea why. My mum hugged me and kissed my cheeks and said goodbye whilst I said bye to her. I ran to the hallway of the school. After bumping into Prem and Abhi by the hallway I gave a nod to Prem and just ignored Abhi. I thought best friends aren't supposed to hide things. I was feeling hurt. Clearly I am not good enough to tell or maybe I'm too good that it needs to be hidden from me. I happened to see Arjun who wanted to borrow my notes so I gave him my book which he was told to return the very next day. I was so not interested in talking to him. He was so creepy and too nice that I got creeped out because it just looked fake. I could have been wrong though. We all started going towards the classroom and sat in our seats. I can feel someone piercing their eyes on me. Ofcourse it was Abhi. When I looked at him for few seconds, I remembered everything and carried on looking elsewhere but at him. I was trying to concentrate but all I was doing was looking at the board.

I realized that class got over only when Prem and Abhi came to me. Prem asked me about our Science lecture. I hadn't really paid attention to any class today but Science was something that didn't really need my full attention. I tried explaining him what our teacher actually taught us but Prem kept denying it. He took out his notebook and showed me his notes. When he finally understood what I said, our maths teacher came and told us to leave to home. On the way out, Abhi asked me why was I avoiding him. He met my brother the yesterday secretly at the corner of our street. Hadn't mom told me to go to the nearby shop, I wouldn't have seen them meeting. It wasn't even a mere meeting but they were talking for more than 10 minutes. When I asked my brother, he pulled my cheeks, said "My dear James Bond, It's something between the boys. It's a secret". I tried calling Abhi's home and his mom picked. As soon as she heard my name, she called Prem and he had the receiver in a minute. I asked Prem about Abhi. Prem almost told me that Abhi had gone out to meet my brother but then twisted it by saying Abhi has gone to meet some friend in their neighbourhood. It was confirmed that Prem and Abhi were together in hiding things from me. I was disappointed with Prem but I was angry on Abhi. While I was walking to my home thinking all this, I heard Arjun's voice. I didn't know why he was always trying to cling to me. He was talking things and I was listening to them without any choice. Just then I saw an injured puppy on the road. I went and tried to lift it but suddenly Abhi came out of nowhere and pushed me. He actually saved me from getting hit by a speedy car but the puppy wasn't lucky. The car had ran over it. I started crying uncontrollably after seeing its state.

I was trying to comfort Pragya. It was of no use as she carried on crying for a good minute or two. I tried to pat her back and as I hugged her she seemed to have calmed down. Whilst I asked her why she was crying, she pointed in the direction of puppy and started to be in tears again. I told her to wait there and not go anywhere. I approached the puppy, took it on my arms and went towards Pragya. At the same time Arjun came towards us and said his goodbye to Pragya. He went home. Puppy was injured and seemed like there had been lots of blood leak out. It still seemed to be breathing. As I showed the Puppy to Pragya, I was telling her it seemed to be alive but may need treatment. I know no vet place where we could take it to and my parents would not be pleased if they see it. My mum and dad wouldn't allow me having pets and they dislike the mess that it could cause at home. When I asked Pragya if her mum would take us to the vet, she smiled with teary eyes and thanked me. She said yes her mum would. I and Pragya were walking towards her mum with the puppy in Pragya's arms as she wanted to hold it. By the time we reached to Pragya's home it was raining. Luckily we reached down her home on time. Sarlaa Aunty rang my house and told my parents that I would be there for a short while. Then Sarlaa Aunty took the puppy from Pragya and put it down on the floor by the carpet. After she put her down she gave a call to the veterinary doctor who was their family friend too which was very helpful as he can come home and see the puppy for the treatment. While we waited for the vet we had a quick dinner together as it would take half an hour for the vet to reach home. I and Pragya in turn narrated the story of what happened. Food was lovely. It was biryani with kheer and water. I was able to eat loads as I was hungry and let's just say that I was so happy the puppy survived even if it got injured. On the other hand Pragya was aloof, she seemed distant and was not really eating much and did not finish her dinner other. It looked like the event took a toll on her. I just reassured everything will be fine. She smiled hesitantly.

By the time the vet came, the puppy had stopped bleeding. He took out his kit and started nursing the wound. He told us that we were lucky that the dog had survived with a minor injury. "Minor injury", I whispered to Pragya in a teasing tone. She wiped her tears and started smiling at the puppy. The vet was telling something to Sarla Aunty but Pragya's dad come home by that time. Sarlaa Aunty asked Pragya's dad to drop me at home as it was already late. As we travelled in uncle's motorbike, I was busy narrating the whole incident and her dad seemed to be listening to it interestingly. Travelling in motorbike was something unusual to me. Cool air striking my face made me feel rejuvenated. When we reached home, my parents' were already anxious. Pragya's dad told them not to scold me but praise for that I not only acted acted as a good friend but also a good human being. I didn't sleep that night but narrating the incident for the third time and it was Prem this time listening to me. After some time, Prem started sleeping. I knew that he would sleep soon even if he didn't want to because of the tablets he took. Whenever I ask mom about the tablet, mom would just say that it was to make Prem healthier. But one day when I saw the tablet in my parents room and took the bottle just to see its name, she got angry. She warned me not to touch or play with it again. I hoped Pragya would be feeling better as the puppy was fine but I wondered why she was angry with me in school.

She

I was crying as I saw the puppy lying down with pouring blood. I wasn't really in my senses as Abhi tried to comfort me and then tried to control the situation by picking up the puppy and wanting to go to my house in order to see a vet which was a good idea as I knew my mum had a family friend who specializes within vet. I carried the puppy as we walked to home. It started pouring with rain but we had reached home by then and the puppy didn't get wet which may not have been a good idea. Mum took in charge, took the puppy and made it rest on the floor by the carpet. She called the vet doctor to home and see the puppy. We had our dinner in the mean time whilst me and Abhi told mum exactly what happened. I couldn't really eat properly as I was worried for the pup. I just had few spoons of biryani and little portion of kheer with water. As soon as we had our dinner, I was waiting anxiously for the doctor to arrive which was supposed to be within half an hour from the call time. Abhi tried to reassure me and all I could be was grateful to him. I was loss for words to say the least. That doesn't mean I am not angry with him for hiding something from me.

The veterinary doctor came and treated the pup. I was really happy when he said that the puppy had only a minor injury. Abhi teased me that it was a minor injury after all. When my dad came home, mom told him about the puppy and asked him to drop Abhi at home. The doctor told mom that the wound would heal in few weeks and asked her whether we would keep the pup at home. She looked at me and I almost pleaded her with my eyes. She told the doc that we would be keeping the puppy at home. The doc left after saying to bring the pup to his clinic after a week. I hugged my mom as I was so happy that she let the puppy stay at home. But then she said keeping a puppy at home was like keeping a new born baby at home and we should look after it carefully. My brother said that he would find a suitable place for the puppy within our home tomorrow. I lied on my bed peacefully and happily. I wondered what would I have done if Abhi hadn't been there. He was truly the best friend one could have except the fact that he hid something from me.

Next day at school Pragya carried on being strange. I just brushed it off for the time being. I decided to concentrate what was important and what only which me and Prem know other than our parents. My parents were the ones who would be helping us with expenses, because you know me still being a child. I was too excited for the school to end so me and Prem can have a discussion over this and set our plan to action. As we were about to go home, I went to Pragya and said my goodbye but she just looked at me. I ignored it as she was being polite to Prem. My thinking process suggested me that may be I was thinking too deep and it was probably nothing. As we reached home me and Prem freshened up, changed into our lounge clothes and had our dinner. Over dinner we were talking to our parents about the plan and what it involves.

Luckily, Pragya's birthday was on Sunday so we could celebrate the whole day without worrying about school. I and Prem had to go to Pragya's home for making the arrangements without Pragya noticing it which was very difficult. But I had already met Pranav few days ago and he told he will help us by taking Pragya out. I called Pragya's home and Sarla Aunty picked up the phone. She told us that Pranav and Pragya had went out. So I and Prem told mom that we were going to Pragya's home. Mom said she would accompany us and that made me even more happy. We went to Pragya's home in mom's new car. Mom explained Sarla Aunty what we wanted to do. Sarla Aunty told mom that Pranav had already told her that me and Prem were planning a surprise for Pragya. I and Prem went to Pragya's room with our charts as soon as Sarla Aunty gave us the green signal. I was a bit good at drawing so I had drawn few pictures of me, Pragya and Prem playing, studying and doing various stuff. Of course, it wasn't good enough to be called a painting but it's the love that matters, doesn't it? While I was busy sticking the charts on the wall, Prem was designing a happy birthday poster for Pragya. Within an hour, the room was ready. When I went to the kitchen to ask Sarla Aunty about Pragya's birthday cake, I overheard Sarla Aunty and my mom talking about Prem. Mom was saying that Prem should never miss his tablets as he had epilepsy. Sarla Aunty assured mom that Prem would be fine. I didn't know what they meant by epilepsy.

Next day at school I was seated at my class. I was still aloof with Abhi so that he would recognized his mistake by himself. I started listening to my science teacher but I was already aware of the subject because I like learning new areas and books are my favourite source. I was doing my class work as the teacher gave us some questions. My mind was going back to the event that occurred yesterday. I was feeling emotional. My thoughts were going towards what could have happened and what positive came out of it. Remembering the outcome, I looked over Abhi who had his head down and was doing his work. I smiled. All of a sudden I remembered he was hiding something so with a frown, I looked away. I realized time was running so fast as I looked at the clock. I went back to writing and finishing my work. As the school day ended Abhi came towards me to say goodbye, I just looked at him. He just walked away with Prem just then. I felt bad a little inside. But still he need to be taught, I thought to myself and smiled as I walked home. During the walk my mind went back to the accident and me being lost in my thoughts almost missed a car passing by and an older woman gave me glares to be careful and not to be lost in thought whilst trying to the cross the road. Once I reached my home I was happy and relieved to see my mum open the door. I went in and hugged her straightaway.

She asked me whether I was fine. I smiled at her and asked about the puppy. She said that it was sleeping. It looked cute while sleeping on the carpet. I washed my face and sat down to do my home work. The only study desk in our room was full of my brother's books. So I sat on the bed and started writing. My brother had come from college. I could tell it from his motorbike sound. As soon as he entered home, he went to the kitchen and got scoldings from Mom for eating with dirty hands. He ignored her scoldings and continued eating samosas. He came to our room and switched on the music system. He would have expected me to tell him to reduce the volume but I was silently doing my homework. He sat near me on the bed. "What happened at school?", he asked me. I replied, "Nothing". He tousled my hair and asked me what was the problem. I was quiet. He lifted me from the bed and made me sit on his lap. "Leave me bro. I am not a small kid. I am a grown up girl now", I told him angrily. He said that I would always be his little sister and he had something for me. My eyes turned curious and I looked at his face. "We are going to a shopping mall tomorrow and Pragya is going to get whatever she asks. How is the plan? Just you and me", he asked me with a broad smile on his face. As soon as I smiled, he started tickling me and I forgot everything else. The next day, I woke up to a fresh morning. My brother took me to the shopping mall as he promised. There were many things that attracted me towards buying but I didn't want to burn my brother's pocket money so I just bought a huge teddy bear. We were returning home in my brother's motorbike.
