7. Truth or Dare

The first thing I did after going home that day was to give Rohan a friend request in discord. I had always wanted to do that but I didn't want to seem too easy or desperate so I chose not to. I only did it now because he seemed to be friendly and I don't think he'd find it weird now that I was his clasmate. To not seem obvious, I gave a friend request to all my classmates which wasn't hard since there were only 20 in total and I was already friends with half of them.

He accepted my friend request instantly and even sent a Hi. For a moment I was taken aback. It turned out he wanted to know who I was and it was hard since I didn't share my name. My discord ID was 'Mafia Queen' (I was so obsessed with BTS Mafia fan fics that I wanted a Mafia King for myself) so anyone who saw it would find it strange. I didn't know what Rohan thought of me after seeing it but I wasn't in a plan of changing it anytime soon.

Rohan: Hi

Mira: Hi

Rohan: Who is this?

Mira: I'm Mira, your classmate.

Rohan: Okay.

Rohan: I'm kind of busy rn
will catch you after 8.

Mira: Yeah np.
I was just sending friend requests to
All of our classmates.

Rohan: Kk.

Mira: Byee

Rohan: I'm not harsh.

Mira: Loll okay ik

Okay, that went pretty good. What did he mean by he wasn't harsh? Did he think I was scared or uncomfortable? Is it because I didn't talk to him much today? I was trying to keep a distance with him because he made me feel things that I didn't understand but I did talk to other guys because we'd be classmates and it'd be helpful to have friends. It doesn't matter anyway, I just want to be friends with him.

===============================

Two weeks passed by in a blink. We were approaching the end of November. My classmates connected with each other pretty well and I had already made a few friends. Karan and Aisha were the closest to me but I talked to a few other guys as well - including Rohan. Me and Rohan became friends thanks to being in the same bus and sitting close by. Our class teacher changed our seats a few days later and Rohan happened to be sitting in an adjacent bench. We talked about random stuff and found we didn't have many common topics of interest but we still talked anyway.

No matter how much I tried to suppress them, my feelings for Rohan grew everyday. When I say I tried, I actually did. I went to the point of calling Jin my husband and focused all my attention on kdrama men and BTS just so I could erase whatever I felt for Rohan. 14-year-old me thought crushing on fictional men and celebrities was an efficient way to get rid of my actual crush.

I still had my eyes on Rohan all the damn time and it's getting so frustrating. It took so much effort to not be obvious. I definitely cannot focus on another guy. It doesn't matter if Rohan was near me or not. When he was around, I kept glancing at him. When he was not around, I thought about him and kept wanting to go to him.

Just when I thought that there was no drama for 2 whole weeks, our classmates had this wonderful idea  of playing truth or dare during the break time. Since everyone around me were playing I thought it'd be good if I joined too. Aisha didn't want to play so it was just me, Karan, Rohan, and some other guys.

"Who'll go first?", a guy asked. "Nah, let's just spin the bottle. It'd be fun." "True." "Agree." We spun the bottle and it landed on Karan. "Okayyy truth or dare?" I asked. "Truth" he said. "Broo that's boring", everyone said.

"How many girlfriends have you had?" I asked. "Bruh that's such an easy question" Nathan said. "Ayy we're just starting let's go easy" I replied.

"I had one girlfriend but she's my ex now" "Ohhh okay next"

The bottle landed on Nathan and he chose dare. "Go write on the board 'Nathan is an idiot' and don't erase it until the teacher comes" a guy said. "Bitch, we have chemistry next and I don't have a death wish" Nathan whined. "Nah, you chose dare you ought to do it" I said.

We went a few more rounds and asked easy questions until it landed on me. I chose truth and Karan asked me "Do you have a crush on anyone in this class?" I swear that bitch did that on purpose. He knew I had a crush on Rohan and he knew I didn't want to reveal it.  Even if I lie now, he'll tell the truth. Ugh "Yes I do" I admitted.

"Whatt? really?!" "Oh my God, who???" "Broo tell us whoooo" the guys shouted and I told them to calm down. They asked me who it was and I didn't say. I just whispered to Aisha that it was Rohan since we became best friends and I trusted her. The guys started pointing out literally every guy in the class. "Is it him?" "Bro, stop. I won't admit it no matter how many times you ask. I'll give you a clue if you are that desperate. He is taller than me" Now, that crossed out most of the class since there were barely 4-5 people taller than me or the same height as me. I'm 5'8.

They all kept guessing but I denied spilling anything. It won't be long before they found out anyway. And I really really wished I didn't tell Karan about this. I got myself in so much trouble now.

Hearing our chaos, our chemistry teacher walked in and scolded us really bad. He even said to me and Aisha "You came here to study. Do only that." He was a really conservative person so I wasn't surprised.

After his outburst, we all listened to class silently and thankfully it was the last period so we dispersed soon after. In the bus, Rohan didn't say anything to me as I was talking to Aisha. But as soon as she got down, he came and sat in front of me and started pestering me to tell him who my crush was.

How can I tell you that you're my crush, idiot?

"I swear I won't tell anyone else. Just tell me"

You're the person who actually shouldn't know.

"Why are you so eager to know?"

"I'm just curious. Please tell me"

"I won't tell you."

"Areyy please"

"Nope. If you want, you guess."

Mira what are you doing??

"Is it Karan?" "No" I shook my head.

"Nathan?" "Nope"

"Aravind?" "Noo I don't even know him"

"Rahul?" "No, and I don't know him either"

" It won't be me for sure" He paused, "Or wait, is it me?"

Fuck. I looked away from him. Damnn what do I say now??

"No" I said, after 2 seconds of hesitation. Please don't get the hint.

"Right. Is it Kamalesh?" Definitely did not get the hint.

"I said taller than me, idiot"

"Is it Anish?" "Eww no, I'm not into nerds."

"Then who is it? I've told all the names of guys who are taller than you"

I smiled. "Actually, you had already said his name."

"What? You said you'll tell if it's a yes or no."

"Never said I won't lie" I shrugged.

He again started saying the names to which I shook my head as no.

"Listen, my stop is about to come. Please,  just tell naa."

"You can go. I won't tell you"

"Hey, I promised I won't tell to anyone"

Fuck this. I'm getting impatient.

I took a deep breath and exhaled.

"It's you" I said and looked away not having the courage to look into his eyes anymore.

"What?" He sounded so shocked.

"It's YOU." I said, still looking away.

I just got myself into a shitload of trouble didn't I?

Hello everyone,

This chapter was supposed to be written and published yesterday but I was so engrossed in the Divergent series I couldn't find the time to write.

Has anyone here seen the Divergent movie series??? It was soooo good. I fell in love with Four at first sight. I binge watched all the 3 movies just to look at him. But the plot was amazing and I'm sure sci-fi people would love it.

Four is the greenest flag in the whole fictional world I mean just look at him- he's perfect. He's everything and he's been on my mind ever since I saw him. I'm definitely trying not to binge watch all the movies of Theo James but let's see.... His face is irresistible T_T

I whole heartedly recommend the series and please let's cry together on how handsome, hot and perfect Four is T_T

Have a nice day/night!

I'm new to writing but my dream is to publish atleast one book before I die! I found solace in reading and books helped me the most when I was at the lowest stage of my life. I wish to write books that'd help girls like me escape their cruel reality.
