Give Me A Second Chance [Sample]

Chapter 9

Unedited:

It's been a year since we were in the terms of good friendship zone. I could say our relationship is not just a friendly thing, but one step ahead. If anyone had told me that I would fall for him in the future, I would have laughed at them. But now there is no place for such a thing cause I feel something for him. 

Does he feel the same about me? I have no idea.

Sometimes, he plays the role of my bodyguard. No one in my college dared to ask me out for date, it's all because of him. They are afraid of him. 

Well.. all the credits go to him because of him, I'm still single.

But the fact is, he is not doing any kind of relationship with anyone till now. Most of the time I have teased him about this but he said he has no more interest in any blind date and stopped them already. It looks like he is waiting for his true love. 

Is that supposed to me? Ahh! My stupid unconscious mind!!!

In the corner of my heart, I have a feeling that he has fallen for me but was it true?... Oh, God! The thing is so confusing. I shook my head and focused on my books. 

Currently, I'm sitting in the library waiting for him. He promised me to tutor the mathematics which I have an exam tomorrow.

I flipped the page one by one trying to figure out what was inside it. But I couldn't understand even a single line. It likes my brain is an empty eggshell and always it acts when it comes to mathematics. 

First of all who found these mathematics? Of course, it would be one of the serial killers who would have invented mathematics enough to create a mental issue for poor students like me. Don't ask me how single math can bring mental issues to someone cause I don't know about others, but for me, I had a history with mathematics. Poor me!!. I curled my hair using the tip of my pen and played with them.

I glanced at my wristwatch and furrowed my brows. Why didn't he show up yet? I frustratingly pulled out my hair.

"Riya! Riya! Are you there?" I heard my friend Claire calling my name. "Oh God Riya." She halted in front of me once she saw me and gasped hardly to catch her breath. The furrow in my brows deepened. "What happened Claire?" I asked.

"It... It's all about Kayish." she blurted out in one breath. "What happened to him, Claire?" I shook her shoulder. She let out a long breath and looked at me. Just in a second, my palm became to sweat.

"Riya, he has a fight with Ashton and got severely injured. They have admitted him to the hospital. I didn't hear about him after that." she informed me. I gulped down. Oh! again this happened. It's all started because of me.

When I was in my basketball training, Ashton Challenged me to play with him. We both played and I won in the end. From that day, he became to use harsh words towards me and bullied me.

When Kayish came to know about the bullies, he threatened him to stay away from me and even started a fight with him. And now he was ended up in the hospital.

"Where was he admitted? I found my voice is shaking.

"St. Alosiouse Hospital." She breathed out. Okay... it's twenty minutes walking distance from the college. I will reach quickly if I use my bike with that I ran out of the library as how fast I could.

One hour later, I reached the hospital where he has admitted. The receptionist gave me his room no and I hesitantly turned the doorknob thinking whether to enter or not.
