High School: Way to Forever

Chapter 3: Her only Male friend

Lunchtime!

School bell ran and everyone was going either towards canteen or playground. Anna was packing her bag and keeping her books back in the bag. Being the nerd herself, she never ran out of the classroom like other children.

She waited till everyone left, and after that, she is going to take a chance to go out.

"Shall we go to the canteen? Tia might be waiting for us there." Alena came from her back and asked her. 

"Yeah. Just coming, give me 5 minutes." Anna replied, trying to show that she is a little busy right now.

"An, what are you even doing?" Alena curiously asked.

"Nothing just the last question is left I just need to complete this."

"Okay Okay finish it quickly as my poor tummy can't survive without food for more than 10 minutes." Oh YES, Alena is one of the biggest food lovers one can ever meet. Food is her life. Unlike Anna who is not a big fan of junk food, Alena is someone who can do anything for her favorite one.

"Why not you go to the canteen with Tia and I will meet you guys there in the next 5 minutes."

"Okay. Come fast!!." Said Alena leaving Anna alone in the classroom

Just as Alena left, Anna under her bench opened up her phone and after seeing a message her innocent eyes darkened. A dangerous look passed through her eyes. She called someone but the other side didn't reply. It made Anna frown deeply but her fingers moved swiftly on the screen of her phone.

'Why is he not picking up my calls? Is he asleep?' Anna thought. She was going to call again but then she heard a voice.

"Annnaaaaaaa...."

Anna quickly hanged up, closed her phone, and put it back into her jeans pocket, and lifted her eyes to see there was her male friend, Reyan.

"What are you even doing here? Are you so obsessed with studies that you can miss your lunch for that?" Reyan came inside her classroom after seeing her still sitting in the classroom, especially during lunch break!

"No no, I was just going after doing my last question." Replied Anna

"You are coming with me now." With that Reyan pulled Anna's hand and led her to the canteen.

Reyan was the only male friend with whom she interacts and was her only male friend. Maybe because he never gave her the vibe of liking her and she knew his real secret. Many people including Alena shipped her with him, as he is smart, good looking and is one of our toppers.

But Ana never saw him in this way. She also knew that he sees her as a friend only. Maybe like a sister and their relationship is much more special because she can at least share many things with him about her life, although some of them are secrets!

.....

When they reached the canteen, Anna saw Tia and Alena sitting on one side in the canteen.

Anna turned towards Reyan and asked him, "Reyan, you wanna have lunch with us or you are going to find your mates?"

"Never dude. I will rather kill myself than having lunch with that monster named Tia. How can you befriend such a person." Reyan made a weird face when Tia is brought up in their talks.

Anna laughed at this statement. True, Reyan never liked Tia as her Best Friend for some reason. But she respected his wish. Although, she knew her real face what cans she even do? Rarely anyone is interested in talking to her.

"Okay as you wish. See you later." saying this, Anna walked towards her girl's group and sat with them.

"Anna, I will be honest with you. You and Reyan both look so good. Are you both secretly dating?" And here goes her shipping with Reyan. 'Just because I came here with him does not mean I like him right?'

"NOOOOOO He is my good friend or my only male friend and you guys know it very well." Replied Anna with a face, trying to make them understand.

"Well with that look of yours you can never find a boyfriend I'm telling you, "Tia said arrogantly. Well, what can Anna do also if she decided to be b*tchy? Anyway, her thoughts never bothered her also. Not like she is having her money.

"Don't worry I'm also not interested," Anna replied as she took a bite of the food in her mouth.

She hated the thought of love. Her heart has been closed for a long and she also didn't plan to open it anymore. After all, it needs a lot of strength to be strong like this, and raise after falling so down.

But Anna never knew what the future holds for her. Her heart and promises are meant to be broken by someone

They all were eating their lunch while talking and suddenly Anna's eyes landed on a certain person who was constantly sharing at her.
