CHAPTER 44

"Alright let's hear it ayra" kachi muttered crossing her hands accepting the fact that she was stuck with her least favorite person in the room.

"Oh okay here it comes first thank you for finally giving me a listening ear" ayra said stalling for time to think, now she had kachi's undivided attention the words and apologies got stuck in her throat.

"I am here under duress so don't thank me and the sonner you start talking the better for the both of us. "

"Oh okay tsk kachi I'm sorry for the way I acted when you came to my house with Ella, that was so out of character I'm terribly sorry for that and everything else" ayra said in a single breath.

Kachi fixed her eyes on ayra's face and stared ferociously . "Are you done?" She questioned after some moments.

Ayra nodded slowly wondering if she had forgotten to add anything else.

"Okay i forgive you" she said a little too jolly for someone who has been running away from her.

"Uhm just like that?" - Ayra added still uncertain

"Yeah fortunately for you I have a very forgiving spirit, I was raised right by my parents" she added smiling heartily.

"Oh but are you sure? You are okay with me now? "

"Yes or don't you want me to forgive you?"

Ayra gave a little shaky laugh and replied ";of course I want you to forgive me but wh- why do I feel you don't really mean your words? "

"Oh my gosh ayra I can't control how you feel that's on you but unlike some people I mean what I say. "

"Okay thank you" ayra said hastily and made to touch her hands but kachi's hard stare stopped her in tracks. "Uhm so you would remain friends with Ella right?" Ayra questioned needing some sort of reassurance.

"So this is what this little apology is all about? "

"What are you talking about? "

"Don't act obtuse ayra I know you only apologized to me because Ella forced you to but nice try I almost fell for your act ,you should give drama class a trial. "

"No no kachi don't get me wrong no one forced me to do this, I realized my wrong actions towards you and wanted to make amends . You should know that I can't be coreced into something I don't want to do. "

"Okay I still forgive you no matter the intention behind it". "Now can you fucking stop talking to me? Kachi screamed in her head .

"Thank you, pardon me but I really feel you are saying it just so I would stop talking to you. "

"Fuck is she a mind reader? " Kachi questioned herself, how the heck did she know my exact thoughts? Well since she's a mind reader I might as well not hide my thoughts anymore.

"Ayra it's rude to intrude on people's thought and you are right, I'm tired of hearing the sound of your voice!! ". Kachi said banging on the door suddenly and shouted in a loud voice "open this door someone is stuck here ".

Ayra turned away from her and quietly looked over at the window feeling numb and empty." Kachi I'm really so sorry I don't know how or what else you want me to say but I truly regret my action, tsk I was jealous of you and acted on it you can hate me all you want but please don't be mad at Ella. "

Kachi turned her head at her statement clearly surprised that ayra of all people, the most intelligent in class was jealous of a new girl like her so absurd.

"Why were you jealous?" Kachi asked softly.

Ayra started to shrug her shoulders but realized she had been doing that a lot today so she stopped "You are very beautiful kachi your skin literally looks like gold plus you are smart and to cap it off my best friend and everyone else is enthralled by you. "

"Gosh ayra all the qualities you mentioned, you have it double. "

"I don't believe you."

"Tsk don't you have a mirror? I mean I - I wanted to be like you and I wanted you to like me" kachi bluted out.

"Really? Thanks and I liked you from the first day but you didn't seem to really want anything to do with me, I thought you disliked me "ayra whined.

"That's not true. "

"It is remember when you almost bite off my head for pronouncing your name wrongly? but you praised Ella for getting it right in front of me, how did you think that made me feel?"

"Oh that was some kind of defense mechanism , I assumed a lot of stuff in my head I'm sorry for hurting your feelings" she said sincerely.

'It's okay kachi just so glad everything has been sorted out between us, we are two idiots we could have had this dialogue a long time ago and spared each other a lot of pain and heartache."

"Yeah I totally agree but all thanks to you for persisting to talk with me. "

"Yeah it's nothing and oh where did you learn to run so fast? "Ayra exclaimed recalling that after the run she felt breathless and tired but kachi still waxed strong.

Kachi smiled at her words, "speed is in my family genes my father was a sprinter but he had to stop running ".

"That's so cool inheriting speed from you family but why did your dad stop running? "

"Oh he had an accident that affected his legs so it.... "

Omg ayra covered her mouth with her hands in shock" I'm so sorry kachi it must have been hard on you guys. "

"Yeah but we scaled through and my father is actually fine presently. "

"Okay that's nice to hear" ayra muttered and kachi concurred, their eyes met and they both smiled surprised at the drastic turn of events. Who could have imagined that they would go inside the empty class as enemies but come out as friends, ayra smiled heartily she felt light and could feel bubbles in her chest.

"I wonder who locked the door? Maybe we should probably join our voices together and shout for help" kachi stated

"I don't know who locked it but I am grateful to that person and would hug and kiss him/her" ayra declared.

"Ayra you are funny c'mon we will scream in 1,2,....."

The door suddenly opened and a head pooked inside and said "ladies no need to shout. "
