10 "The heart wants what it wants."

[Abi's POV]

"Abi don't you think Nate is showing interest in you," Blaire said.

"I'm not sure, whether he is interested or not," I said.

"I can sense that soon the colors of love will be blown in the air." Blaire teased me.

"You are thinking too much Blaire," I said. "He hardly knows me. I'm new to the college and how will he fall for me in a very short period."

"But he had never shared his number with any girl within a short period," Gianna said.

"Probably he is thinking to friendzone me," I said.

"I have a huge doubt on him regarding you. He is having something on you." Samantha said.

"You people are overanalyzing it," I said.

"We don't think so...." Blaire said.

"Okay, now we need to reach home soon to do preparation for tomorrow's test." I interrupted in between.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that. Thanks for reminder Abi." Gianna said.

"It's okay. All the best for the studies to all. Byeee..." I said and Went off.

I got into the house. I was very tired and happy. Tired because it was a long day and happy because maybe Nate will text me tonight. All this was in the head.

"Abi, come here." I heard mom's voice.

"Yes tell me," I said.

"How is your college-going?" She asked.

"It's going good," I said.

"Anything new is coming up in college." She asked.

"We do have a test tomorrow, so need to prepare some notes and study it," I informed

"Okay study well." She said.

"Yes, I'm going in my room to study and please do get me food in the room." I request her.

"Sure." She said.

Mom really does care about my studies a lot. Though I've grown up girl still she makes sure that I study well and secure good marks. Firstly, I will take a hot shower then I will begin my studies.

A hot shower always makes me fresh and helps me in relaxation. Where are my comfy short pants and loose blue Tshirt?

"Mom, where are my comfy short pants and blue Tshirt?" I asked her.

"It's in the right drawer of your cupboard and does check it properly. Take care of your things as you are grown up." She informed me.

"Thanks for the information, mom," I said.

Here it is. It feels so good to be in comfy dresses as compared to those western dresses and medium heels. Now, I can study.

After three hours,

Finally, I finished my studies. Now I can take a short nap. An hour later mom entered my room.

"Abi, get up and have your dinner." Mom waked me up from the nap.

"Ummm, yeah thanks," I said in half awake.

"Did you finished your study?" She questioned.

"Yes, I'm fully prepared for the test," I replied with food full in my mouth.

"Good. I'm in the living room watching Tv if you need something call me." She said in concern.

"Okay, mom," I said.

While having my food, I called Blaire. She picked up in the second ring.

"Hey, Blaire. What doing?" I asked.

"I'm studying for the test. What about you? She asked.

"Just now I had finished my study," I said.

"So soon, It takes me a long time to put all readings in the brain." She said in worry.

"It's okay, Blaire. You will do good on the test." I encouraged her.

"Hope so. Okay now allow me study else I won't be enabled to complete it on time." She said

We said bye and hanged up together.

As I finished my food. Just after a few seconds my phone buzz. It showed that I received a message and that message is Nate. It was written as:-

"Hi Abi, Nate here." It was written.

"Hi, Nate. How are you?" I typed.

"I'm all good. Did you had your dinner." He asked in the text.

"Yes, I had my dinner. What about you." I asked.

"Even I had it." He replied.

"Did you had work with me," I asked politely.

"Not as such. I just wanted to message you" He said. "And want to know more about you." He added further.

"Ask me what you want to know about me," I said.

"You are new to the college, so are you liking it." He said.

"Obvio, I'm liking it," I said.

"Did you had a past relationship in Vancouver?" He asked. "You had said that at the party when we played spin the bottle."

"No, I didn't have any past relationship," I answered him.

"May ask why?" He asked.

"Is that I didn't found the right guy," I said.

"Okay." He said.

"What about you?" I asked him.

"I had a past relationship in college." He said.

"Who was she? I reacted as I don't know.

"Can I call you. So that I can explain to you well about it." He asked.

"Sure you can," I said.

The phone rang and we continued our conversation.

"It was Richa." He said.

"Richa?" I pretended in surprise

"Yeah. I thought you are aware of my story." He asked.

"Actually yes, but I didn't believe some people. Now I'm sure that it was the truth." I said.

"Yeah." He said.

"Why you people are not together now any specific reason," I asked him.

"In the beginning, It was all good. We enjoyed each other. I loved her so much. There was a good understanding between us." He said.

"Then?" I asked.

"After one and a half years, everything got to fall. She got possessive about me. She asked me not to talk to others. She started nagging to me about everything. There was no space." He said.

"Then why you didn't try to convince her that you belong to her," I said.

"I tried each and everything but the things didn't go well. One day I decided to get separated. I told her that we can't be together. It's not working anymore." He said.

"Okay, felt sorry about it," I said.

"Don't be sorry. It was the compatibility issue and the circumstances aroused so much that we ended our relationship."He said. "I didn't want to have a break-up with her but our future would have messed."

"Okay," I said.

"I think, I had taken a lot of time of yours." He said

"No, it's okay," I said. "Did you prepared for the test."

"Yes and what about you?" He asked.

"Yes, I'm all prepared," I said.

"I think we should sleep now. It's late." He said.

"Yeah, even I think the same," I said.

"So goodnight, Take care." He said.

"Goodnight, Take care," I said.

"Bye see you tomorrow." He said.

"See you tomorrow, bye..." I said.

And we both hung up the phone and I went to sleep.
