Chapter : The Confession.
Riya signaled her friends towards teachers and all of them moved towards them.
Riya and her friends gave their slam book and moved away.
All the boys filled their slam and handed it to Arjun asking him to fill it.
Sid signaled Seema to meet him and she moved to meet him.
Seema : What the hell is wrong with your friend Sid. IS he waiting for Christmas? Today is the last day of our school
and if today he doesn't speak to Riya, I cannot help you any further.
Sid : Even I am angry with him. Eric has a plan. I have a plan. Is it possible to bring Riya near the mango tree after 30mins. I will ask Arjun to meet her their.
Seema agreed and they shake their hands and part their ways.
On the the other side.
Eric: Here Arjun , all of us have completed the slam only you are pending. please fill it up and give it to Riya.
Arjun takes the slam book and sits in a chair. Sid signals the rest of them and they move away.
Sid : Seema is very angry.
All the other boys look as if he has lost it.
Sam : Ok so what should we do. It must be your fault.
Eric: True. Go and pacify her.
Sid (shouting) : Stop it guys. She is not angry with me , she is angry with Arjun. She was asking when arjun is going to confess his feeling with Riya. I asked her to bring riya to the mango tree after 30mins. We have to some how bring arjun to that place. We still have 20mins.
Eric: Wow Sid .. Great plan. If he doesn't agree we all will drag him there. I am getting irritated with his behavior.
Vijay: Chill Eric.. Me alone is enough to handle him.
Saying this Vijay showed his muscle power and all of them wolf-whistled. They turned towards arjun who was writing the slam book and moved towards him.
After 30mins :
Riya: Seema where are you taking me.
Seema : Riya, i wanted to talk to you alone.
Riya sensed some seriousness n her voice and kept quiet.
On the other side :
Arjun completed the slam book when suddenly all of his gang appeared before him with determination in their eyes.
Sam: Come Arjun , get up. We need to take a group photo.
Arjun: More how many photos you wanna take.
Eric: group photo means -> Only SAVE Group photo not with entire class.
Arjun knew they were upto something and also knew asking wont help so just followed them. They reached the mango tree before riya. All of them stood in front of Arjun.
Vijay : Arjun today is our last day in school. We all want to ask you something.
Arjun: Whatz up guys. Any issue?
Eric: What does Riya mean to you. Please tell us the truth.
Sam: Please Arjun.
Arjun: Riya i mean i don't know. As you all know she is very reserved and very composed. I don't know when I stated observing her
At this age world might call it infatuation, but I feel something for her.
Sid: Today's is the right time arjun. Tell your feelings to her.
Arjun : Its not so easy as you all think. I am at least happy she is talking to me. What after my confession I loose her.
All the boys looked at each other and then saw Riya and Seema coming.
Vijay: See Riya is coming. Talk to her.
Saying this all moved out. Seema reached the mango tree and saw all of them in some group discussion. She stopped little away from the tree. Riya was confused with her behavior and looked at her and the group of boys who were in some discussion.
Seema: Riya please listen to what they have to tell you and then decide. I am always there with you. Talk to me after talking to Arjun.
Riya: What happend?
Seema just hugged her and waited for the boys to join her. The boys moved towards Riya and Seema.
Sid: Riya, Thanks for coming. We all would like to talk to you once you are done talking with Arjun. Please don't make any decisions. Just listen to him.
Vijay: We will meet after the lunch in the same place.
Saying this all of them left her and arjun. In this entire conversation arjun was observing her. Riya moved towards arjun.
Riya: Hi Arjun. What happened? Why they are behaving so strangely.
Arjun(moved little closer to her) : Riya i i. i wanted to talk to you.
Riya: Yes arjun tell me.
Arjun: After hearing this whatever your decision is, it will never change our friendship.
He takes a hand and this surprises riya.
Riya: Ar--Arjun..
Arjun: Please let me tell you. I don't know when what happened. I started observing you. Your calm and composed nature just like my mother. Your smartness, your never to fight against bad, helping nature, loving everyone. I don't know when I started falling in love with these qualities of yours. Somehow I gather all the courage to just let you know about my feelings. After today we will be out into the real world, who knows when we will meet.
I love you Riya. I love you from when how why I don't know. All I know is I love you.
Riya knew something was up but she never expected arjun to tell this to her.
Arjun: Riya.
Riya: I knew something was going on but you really surprised me. I like you arjun but I have lot of responsibilities on me. I cannot think of a life with you or anybody as of now. Hear me out once.
Their conversation was interrupted by announcement for lunch.
Riya : Let us meet after lunch and bring your friends as well.
Saying this she left from there, but she could not hide her tears from Arjun who at the moment was confused as to why she was crying.
