Vivian and her family retured almost after two weeks. After returning, she got to know many things happened around. The transfer student lily became popular just in few days. Also luke and Lily became surprisingly close like old friends. Many times after school Vivian used to wait for him to go home together but he would always make some excuses to go with Lily. Vivian was burning with fury. She was so unhappy with his behavior. They were friends since twelve years and he chose some random person over her. It hurt her heart. The others were too bothered by Luke. Nina used to complain about that lily. lily used to call Luke at home almost everyday and Luke also seemed liking it. This Lily-silly girl was no simple.
Nina got a huge shock when she saw Luke going to her house at night. When she asked Luke about it he casually said that Lily wanted his help in her homework. She was not naïve to not understand what it means when a girl asks a boy to come over her home when she is home alone. She couldn"t believe that Luke was also playing along with her.
She told Vivian about it. When Vivian heard it, she felt like her heart was crushed and she was on the edge of crying.
Nina already had an idea of what vivian feels about her brother. She was her best friend since childhood and she knew her very well.
" He is a grown up boy and is capable to do anything he wants to do, if he wants to be with that Lily we can"t stop him. We.. we can"t do... any... anything at all, Nina. "
Vivians voice broke as she spoke. She felt a stabbing pain in her heart.
" But I heard that she is just using him to gain popularity and she is successing in it. Just see, as soon as she accomplishes her goal she will be meeting more boys at a time. Them what will luke do? She clearly knows how famous Luke is in school. If she became his girlfriend she will surely hit a jackpot. Can"t Luke see? what is wrong with him? And you, why have you stopped talking with him, are you ignoring him? what now? You guys are still stupid, fighting like kids, what am I going to do with you guys!!! "
"Nina, I haven"t stopped talking with him. But seems like he is occupied with Lily so much that he forgot about me. We rarely meet each other and he never ever tried to approach me, nor did he call me. He has for forgotten about Danny too! Danny said that Luke stopped coming to football practice just to meet her. As you can see Luke, he is changed." Vivian said.
"Aren"t you hurt? You like him, don"t you? why are you so calm? answer me Vivian! "
"I... I don"t know. Yes, I don"t like it when he avoids me for her and now she literally replaced me from his life. I do like Luke. I am serious about him and it hurts me so much to see him with someone else. All this time I thought that I have a irreplaceable place in his life, maybe in his heart too. But it is late now, I... have lost.. I don"t,... Nina.. (sobbing).. I don"t like it when he looks at her like that.... I hate it!!! (sob) I don"t know what to do!... "
"It"s alright, I know that he has a place in his heart for you. Just think, he treated all the other girls like plague and always you were special. Lily may have his attention now but do not forget that you know each other since you were babies! No one knows him better than you. I have faith in you Vivian, go and confess to him. Right, his birthday is coming on this 7th! Why don"t you tell him on that day? "
"No,.. not at all, what if he refuses and laughs at me? "
"Don"t be a sissy now. I know he won"t laugh. just be yourself and confess. Otherwise I am afraid that this Lily girl will never keep her hands to herself. Save your future husband Vivian! "
"wh..wha.. what.. ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!! WHO THE h.e.l.l IS MY FUTURE HUSBAND! " vivian blushed like tomato.
