Ache

"But Wait! what was that? why were you writing for so long? as long as I remember you were not interested in any subjects just yesterdayy and now today what happened? you were writing nonstop like a nerd"

Stopping her pace in between, Noora starts to throw all of her questions on Anna not giving her time to reply and when she finally stops Anna answered back

"I just studied because I don't want to repeat the whole year -_-"~

Can't expect more from a girl like Anna, Noora just shut her mouth and walked silently accompanying Anna's silence

__________

Today was the last day of their exam Anna felt a bit sick as she woke up, she made her way directly to the kitchen to eat some leftover junk food from last night which she orders from some food store

Digging in she again felt a wave of extreme pain in her head which made her grab her head with her both hands and she let out a painful groan, closing her eyes she took a deep sigh and tried to calm down

After feeling a bit better she got up to get ready for her college didn't want to skip as it was the last day of her exams

She called Noora to pick her up as she had her car. in these past few days Noora always hang out with Anna and Anna got a little bit comfortable with her

*Phonecall*

"Hello! Noora can you please pick me up I'm not in the condition to take a bus today "

Keeps it short as usual Anna said without any good morning or anything

"Wow what kind of friend you are not even a single good morning or anything," Noora said complaining about her friend's rude behavior

"Good morning and come fast I'm waiting"

Saying that Anna hangs up the call while on the other hand

"What hello wow this girl! God give me patience please"

Noora said to herself as the phonecall was ended by Anna all of the sudden

Noora reached at Anna's place pick her up and they both were now in their class writing on their papers

"OK students time is over now please submit your papers and leave the class" said by their teacher as the time was finally over and everyone was also done with their exams, leaving the classroom they went to the cafeteria to have something to eat

Anna was still feeling the pain in her head but she didn't utter anything about it to her friend as she knew that Noora would ask so many questions and she was not in the condition to answer any question nor she was in the condition to even say something

"Why do you look so dull and pale today?" Noora asked

"Well you look pale always but today you look paler"

Adding with a giggle

"Oh, yea I remember now! you said earlier that you were not in the condition to take the bus why? what happened?"

Remembering the call earlier Noora again added another question

"Nothing I just want to go home can you drop me off," Anna said with her lifeless voice as right now she just wants to lay down on her bed and sleep

"Um are you sure you're OK because I can see you're not," Noora said a bit concern after hearing her friend's dull voice

Anna always talked in a cold tone but today there was no energy in her voice as it sounded like a person who's on the edge of dying trying to say something

"I'm OK would you drop me or not"

Anna said bringing back a little life to her voice to make Noora believe that she was really fine when she was not

"Fine, let's go" not so satisfied with her answer Noora put an end by saying fine

Reaching the bedroom of her apartment Anna lay herself down on her bed closing her eyes, Whenever she felt like crying, she would instead become angry at someone else or at herself which meant that it was rare for her to shed tears.

But today she wanted to cry so much she wanted to cry out so loud but there was no voice but only tears were streaming down from her closed eyes.

She had no energy, she was not sure herself that why she was crying is it because of her ache or there was something else~

She wanted to sleep for a thousand years Or just not exist Or just not be aware that she exists, she tried not to think anything. she just wanted it all to stop spinning.

But in the end, she had to wake up because she was still breathing

she woke up from long hours of sleep and looked out of the window seeing no light which was there before, trying to reach her phone she sat up

Seeing Noora's calls she closed her phone again and didn't bothered to reply

*Ring* ~~~

Anna glanced at her phone which was ringing again and again when she was about to go take a shower

"Hello"

Picking up the call Anna said

"Hello! Anna are you ok? I was calling you! I called you the whole day why didn't you pick up? I was so worried you know you should at least reply to me for once!"

Just like every time Noora again asked a ton of questions

"I'm OK!... I was just asleep"

again as always Anna answered with an answer as short as possible

"Oh. thank God I thought you were dead" cracking a joke Noora utter with her cheerful voice

"I wish"

Anna mumbled in a very low voice as she did not want Noora to hear what she just said and luckily she didn't

"OK I'm going to take a shower by"

And before Noora could add more in her words Anna spoke and hang up the call without hearing her~
