Chapter-11-DJ's POV

I was taken aback....really....Not that I was sad, no - I was rather pleased. Sarah getting to come with me to the Adventure Camp?!

Honestly, let me tell you readers that I'm bit of an egoistic person(which boy isn't ?) and I'm sorry that I've been angry with Sarah for so long, but my ego just doesn't allow me to go and say sorry to her. Plus, she hasn't asked my apology yet and she needs to do that. Many of you readers might feel that I'm a proud person, but the thing is that I became angry with her when she asked me so abruptly about Diya...

I mean how could she be so-so-so insensitive. She should've waited for me to tell her all about my past gradually and slowly. She should have been patient.But no, like everyone else, she too had to pester me about Diya. Everyone else in the class too keeps asking me about Diya all day long. I just get fed up and hyper angry even at the mention of her name. Reason for my anger with Diya? I'll mention later........

So it has just chanced that Sarah is going on an all India educational tour-with me ALONE...!
To tell the truth, I am glad-really glad....out of all the girls I've ever met, Sarah is the first girl who's been my nice friend, a close companion. In her company I fell comfortable, when normally I feel awkward with girls. Sometimes I'm studying and suddenly Sarah pops in my mind, making me smile....I think of her a lot. Is this just friendship? Or the start of something new? Well she is sooooo pretty that she appears irresistible to anyone near her. I've come across lots of boys in our class who can't stop to think and talk about her. In such a case, I feel like protecting her from all of these boys who cast an eye on her. But unfortunately, we are not on speaking terms, so....

A new relationship with Sarah? No way.... However much I like her, her looks, her smile, her hair, her intelligence, her innocent eyes, sigh, but I'm not gonna fall for her-NO WAY. I can't commit a blunder again. At the start of class 10th, I'd fell lots for Diya. I'd thought that she was the one for me....But as soon as I agreed to her proposal and started going out with her, she got nasty. I turned a blind eye to this, but I couldn't pretend that she was as sweet as before. I knew that she was seeing other boys on my back and flirting openly in front of me. She got haughty and proud. I slowly got more and more separated from her emotionally. Then one day, I overheard her criticizing me. I found that she'd used me like her servant who could tolerate her tantrums, praise her and boost her superiority complex. As I was the most famous boy of the high school, she coupled with me to gain popularity. And I like a fool fell into her trap, the wounds of which will never heal. The damage she did to my personality is so great that I started hating all the girls in this world, until Sarah came along. I can never hate Sarah, but still, my reserveness and hesitation from girls after what Diya did to me will never be over. I will never fall for another girl again...

Well at least for now I'm glad. At least we can be friends cuz I need a good companion....Resisting Sarah is a difficult job, but I'll try my best to just be friends and nothing more. I wonder what she thinks about me. Am I just a friend for her? Or something more? Does she think of me as often as I do? God knows....

When the teacher announced her name along with mine, I had all sorts of visions with her alone... We'll be friends again now...thank God for that. Now I'm seriously waiting for the summer vacations to begin so that we can be off for the camp....Hope it all goes well....
So readers, how was it?
Awesome.
Ok.
