Yash: Hi

Aarti: Why are you messaging me?

Yash: Why? I can't message you?

Aarti: Maybe, are you allowed to talk to stranger?

Yash: I can talk to whoever I want.

Aarti: Why do you want to talk to me?

Yash: What is this, 21 questions?

Aarti: you can't answer one question properly, why would i waste my time asking you 21.

Yash: lmao kay

Aarti: What does that mean...

Yash: Whatever you want it to mean.

Aarti: You're the one who said it.

Yash: K

Aarti: Why are you talking to me?

Yash: I'm sorry.

Aarti: For?

Yash: I'm sorry that I'm f**king mean to you. I just don't want to get hurt again. I don't trust you completely anymore, nor will I anytime soon so you're gonna have to regain it again. I still care about you though. I'm sorry you're so oblivious. Sorry that you keep assuming shit and I end up having to pay for it. I'm sorry I'm insensitive, deceptive, psychotic, depressing. Sorry but I can't stand this anymore. I can't stand that we can't have a proper conversation aymore.

Aarti: i could say a million things, but i wouldn't know where to start. i told you before too, it was never my intention to hurt you and it never will be. you don't have to trust me, because i admit it, i was stupid. but, once again, it wasn't all my fault. anyways, i'm not going to keep defending myself or you or anyone. i'm just confused though, if you think talking to me will hurt you, why do you ?

i'm sorry too for everything i've done
and i've told you that before
but sometimes things are beyond our control and our forgiveness.
and i understand that.

Yash: I'm talking to you because I don't want to be mean. I know how it feels to have someone close to you stop talking to you randomly. I don't want to put you through that.

Aarti: so you start talking to me two months after you stopped, and you didn't want to suddenly stop talking to me? i mean, wasn't it a bit too late for that?

Yash: those two months were f**king hell for me.

Aarti: Oh please. How much do I really mean to you?

Yash: I'm not going to answer that.

Aarti: Lol okay.

Yash: You should talk to more people.

Aarti: Why? Nobody cares. Not one person. In the end, everyone is living for themselves.

Yash: No... so you're saying people who help the homeless are doing it for themselves?

Aarti: They're doing it to preserve a life, they're doing it because of morals, but they aren't doing it because they care...

Yash: So you're saying you can't do it out of love and compassion?

Aarti: Nope. Love, it doesn't exist. It's all romanticized, we see it in movies, read about it in books, we want it. It's manmade, not natural. Not romantic love. Platonic love, sure. Love for family, that's fine. But romantic love? Falling for people in such a way that you want to be with them for the rest of your life? Nah, that doesn't exist.

Yash: you ever fell in love with anyone?

Aarti: i don't know how it feels to be in love, so i couldn't tell you.

Yash: so you never fell in love?

Aarti: i couldn't tell you.

Yash: why?

Aarti: because i don't know what it feels like to be in love.

Yash: yet you love your family. so how does that work?

Aarti: i'm not in love with my family...i love them. there's a difference.

Yash: oh? and whats that.

Aarti: who knows. but there is one.

Yash: then how do you know there is one, if you don't know what the difference is.

Aarti: i don't know. there just is one. you could tell. being in love is more romantic i think.

Yash: shit that's brought to you by the media.

Aarti: nah, it's the shit that's brought to you by the heart.

Yash: Where does the idea of love being romantic come from?

Aarti: That's my point.

Yash: Really? Then what's me wanting to have a girl in my arms? being nice? lust? i dont want to do anything sexual with her

Aarti: It is the feeling of being held by a member of the opposite sex.

Yash: i guess i'm one nice person cause i almost fell in love with this girl.

Aarti: Who?

Yash: Don't worry about it.

Aarti gasped. She had a strong feeling that the girl he was talking about was her.

Aarti didn't think that she could have fallen more in love with him, but she did. It was towards the end of grade 10 as spring had fallen upon them that she realized that it was hopeless. She was far too deeply in love with him.

"I love him," she told herself with tears in her eyes as she smiled. She would dance in her room as she said it. Even though he would deny it everytime, she would laugh to herself because she enjoyed the feeling of being in love. It did bring pain sometimes, but the happiness it brought outweighed the pain by far. She lived by the motto, learn to live happily while you're in love, not deteriorate.

One day, a boy older than her in her grade eleven math class seemed to show interest in her. Aarti didn't know for sure, but he would try flirting with her sometimes. Aarti would tell Yash this and Yash would tell her to give him a chance. The truth was that Aarti couldn't just do it... she was way too in love with him to do that. Aarti couldn't even think about someone else. One day, Yash asked Aarti if she liked anyone on MSN.

Yash: So who do you like?

Aarti: Nobody, how about you?

Yash: A girl.

Aarti: Who?

Yash: You don't know her.

Aarti: Oh... okay... can I know more about her then?

Yash: She's a year older than us.

Aarti: Oh.

Yash: I know you like someone, ask him out.

Aarti: Are you stupid?

Yash: No. Ask him out.

Aarti: I like someone, and you know it very well too, but I'm not going to ask him out. I'll get rejected and I might just cry.

Yash: Ask him out. Go do it now. Do it online if you're scared.

Aarti: Um no.

Yash: Do it.

Aarti: OKAY fine, Yash will you go out with me?

Yash: Aarti, you're a very nice girl, you're very sweet and an amazing friend, but I just think of you as that, a great friend.

Aarti: Lol it's okay. I understand, let's change the subject now.

Aarti was smiling the entire time because she knew his response right away, and she didn't hate him either for it. She couldn't force him to love her, nor did she want to. She wanted everything to be completely natural. In fact, she was glad it was out between them again that she was head over heels for him. She felt like a huge weight had been lifted off her chest.

Another day, Aarti was talking to Mansi about Yash asking her to give the other guy, Aman a chance.

Aarti: Mansi, he keeps telling me to give Aman a chance. I don't want to. I don't understand why Yash won't drop the matter already.

Mansi: I spoke to him, let me show you the conversation.

Aarti waited for a few moments until the conversation got sent through. Aarti's jaw dropped open at what she read next.

Mansi: Why the hell are you asking Aarti to give Aman a chance? Huh? You know Aarti loves you, yet you never gave her a chance. How can you be so hypocritical?

Yash: I don't want to hurt her Mansi.

Mansi: So you like her?

Yash: I'm afraid that I'll fall in love with her if I give her a chance. Don't tell her I'm telling you this.

Aarti read it over and over again to make sure she read it right. It meant that Yash did consider it. It meant that Yash thought it over. Yash knew that if he gave her a chance, he might fall for her.

Aarti: Isn't that kind of the point Mansi? To be in love with the person you're with?

Mansi: Yeah, he's such an idiot.

Soon grade ten ended the way it started, with Yash and Aarti as best friends. However, the summer after grade 10 was the turning point of their relationship.

The summer after grade ten, that summer was the most beautiful summer in Aarti's life. She would never forget it. That summer, by coincidence, Aarti and Yash got put in the same Summer School for the same program. They were coincidentally, in the same class as well. They were taking grade eleven English in the summer to finish their courses earlier.

One day, while they were online, they were talking about homework when the topic changed.

Yash: There's a lot I need to get off my chest right now.

Aarti: Then do it. Let it out.

Yash: K uh... I don't know where to start. But promise that whatever I tell you, stays between us, and you won't ever mention it again nor will you question it.

Aarti: Start from the very beginning... and okay, I won't.

He took twelve minutes to respond. Aarti could see that he kept on typing and then stopped typing in the middle. She knew what he was going to say. She walked around the room, her palms sweating, tears forming in her eyes, because she knew, she just knew what his next words would be.

When she heard the notification that he had posted his message, she nervously walked over to her computer screen.

Yash: All those times that you've told me you liked me, I knew. The truth is that I really liked you too, but I didn't tell you because I think that you deserve a lot better than me.
