Want Me

Anvi's POV

"Baby, listen to me," Andrew held her hand and twirled her to face him.

"No, I am done, Andrew. You know this is not going to work between us.” Hazel just ended her five months’ relationship with Andrew and he just let her go?

Hazel, a popular girl in our school, a perfect meaning of beauty with brains, and more importantly, she isn't a mean person as she looks. Andrew had a great crush on her since the start of our Junior high school year. She was tough to get. Andrew tried a lot to impress her, and they were so happy. I don’t know what went wrong between them?

My best friend is hurt. I was taken aback when all of a sudden he looked at me. I volunteered a smile and walked near to him.

"You okay?"

He sighed and gave I am all done expression.

"Shall we go out to catch some fresh air?"

Andrew nodded his head sadly and we came out of school. The light drizzles stopped us to move forward.

I don’t know what to talk with him so I stayed silent and looked at the rain.

"Hey, do you have an Umbrella?" I asked. Andrew glared as he doesn't have anything in his hands.

"Sorry, wait here, I will go and get my umbrella,"

"No Anvi, let's wait until the rain stops," he said in a worn-out expression.

"Are you really hurt?" I asked.

"Yeah, you don't know how much my heart is breaking inside," his eyes had tears.

"Andrew?" I got worried about seeing him.

"I loved her so much, Anvi. Look I am nothing now, I don't have a reason to live anymore," he started sobbing covering his eyes.

"Andrew, you deserve better. Are you insane to talk this way?" holding his hand I said. I became scared and my eyes welled in tears.

I narrowed my eyes when his sobs turned into giggles. s**t! Again he did this.

"Are you even my best friend?" He questioned since I failed to understand him. Yeah, Andrew, one of the most handsome guys in our school, who wasn't that type of dude cries for a breakup.

"I hate you," I gritted and Andrew pulled my back bag firmly.

"Let me go, conman," I wiggled. But fearing if my bag will tear up I gave and looked at him.

"Anvi Baba. Why can't you be my girlfriend? No one understands me better than you do," he teased.

"Shut up, and don't call me like that," he gritted.

“Okay, get an Umbrella. I will buy you something delicious,” he left my bag and my face lit up in a smile.

I walked hastily to my locker and while turning the corridor, I collided with someone.

Thankfully he didn't let me fall and gripped me against him strongly. My face perfectly fits in his chest. The familiar scent filled my nostrils but I couldn't guess who it was. It must be someone I knew for a long time.

My cheeks burned when his hand went from my back to my hip. This was the first time I am hugging someone this tighter. I can feel he got a perfect rock body since his torso was touching mine. He doesn't let me go and the people were watching us and taking pictures too. He is purposely doing this.

"Hey, let me go, i***t," I said and wiggled my arms. He left me and my eyes widened in shock to see the p*****t who hugged like that was Adrian! Andrew's twin brother.

He looked at me with that stern face, I couldn't get angry on him and I wondered why he did that?

“Adrian,” I mumbled.

“Watch your way,” he muttered looking down and he walked away.

Talking the Umbrella, I made my way outside. I looked at Adrian who is walking before me. I don't know why he did that? Never in my dreams, I thought we will go apart.

“Hey, Ad. Do you want to join us?” Andrew asked when he walked past us.

“No, you guys enjoy,” he answered before getting inside his car.

"Hazel is such a boring girl. She’s not what I thought," Andrew told and I know he is lying!

"But you looked happy, you even forget to say hi to me," I raised a question.

"Starting is good, but I got so bored of her," he convinced me.

"I don't think that's the reason," I said.

"I swear," he exclaimed.

"Okay, don't look like Owl," I chuckled seeing his big eyes.

We had the pizza, it's Andrew's treat for his breakup and I hate it for celebrating such a thing. Hazel was a nice girl, the first guy she ever agreed to date with was Andrew. I really feel sorry for what my best friend did to her.

"Adrian? Why he is so moody these days?" I questioned munching my pizza.

"Moody? I don't think so. You know, he’s not like me, Anvi," Andrew said.

"Oh," I thought about the way he hugged me minutes before. I felt shivers running down my spine. Since the start of this he’s avoiding me and I don’t know what is that for?

I got distracted from my thoughts when my phone started ringing. My mom was on the line.

“I have to go,” I said to Andrew.

Friday nights are always colorful and to this rain, it's so blissful. Andrew drove me to my home and left asking me to come home tomorrow. Since Tania, his sister called me for a sleepover.

I already asked permission to my mom and she gladly said okay. Because in this chance my mom can meet her best friend of twenty years.

Andrew and Adrian are fraternal twins and they are the heirs for the billion-dollar worth Aaron corporation which has been running by their father Michael. They are born with a golden spoon. Extremely rich, good looking, and have all the reasons to be a brat but they are not. Ever since we became friends in our kindergarten days, we are still the same, and not at all changed a bit. They have never treated me indifferently. I am their best friend but something has altered now, Adrian no longer speaks to me and I am not his best friend anymore. This really hurts but I know I haven't done anything wrong. 

Opening my room, I dropped my bag on the table. For me, the best place in the world is my room. I sat on my bed and continued my thoughts about my broken friendship.

We have stopped being friends for more than a year now. I don't know why we got distanced. I even asked him whether I did anything wrong but he didn't reply to me and stopped to tell even the formal hello and bye. Even strangers do that.

But we still pretending like we are friends in front of our families which I hate to do. I don’t know how I am to face him on tomorrow’s sleepover. I still remember the last time I stayed in Andrew's home, it was a complete disaster; I was heartbroken to find my crush was dating someone else.
