Chapter 4

The next day Vihaan, Hritik and Disha were on their way to school. This time Disha was also involved in the conversation with Vihaan and hrithik. 

Vihaan and Hritik have decided that they will also involve Disha in their talk. But the conversation will not involve anything inappropriate. 

Disha was very happy by this change. At least that small incident made them involve Disha in their conversation.

As soon as they reached school, Vihaan got out of the car. By a force he gets pushed a step back and his back collides with the car. He looks down and sees Priya in his arms.  

"Hey Vihaan." Priya greeted Vihaan. She was happy. She always wanted him as her boyfriend. And they are meant to be with each other since they both are rich and both of their parents are business men, so shouldn't their children be fated for each other. 

"Hii." Vihaan awkwardly said. He totally forgot about his new and first girlfriend. He removes her hands from around him. Priya starts asking him random questions and Vihaan lazily answers her. 

"Brother, why is Vihaan hugging her?" Disha asked Hrithik as she did not like the way Priya was sticking with vihaan.

"Um they are... um.. special kind of friends." Hrithik answered awkwardly as he doesn't want her sister to know anything about the boyfriend-girlfriend thing. He wanted her sister to stay pure for some more years. 

Vihaan and Hrithik have done everything which they could to not let her mind taint at such an early age because theirs were tainted instantly.

"Then will she be playing with us?" Disha asked as she did not like the thought of Vihaan having close friends with others, other than her.

"No. She will be friends only with Vihaan, not with us." Hrithik answered. He wanted to strangle Vihaan. Because of him he has to answer the questions of Disha which he is finding hard.

"Then vihaan will not play with us." Disha was sad thinking that Vihaan will not play with her. 

"He will but not all the time." He replied as he saw his friend being totally uncomfortable with his new girlfriend. That made his irritation lessen up as he is not the only one who is suffering. 

"Then, is she more special for Vihaan than me?" Disha asked. While talking priya had a constant smile on her face. 

"In a way, I guess yes." Hritik mumbled as he himself doesn't know the answer to that. 

As the school bell rang Disha went to her class without saying bye to Vihaan. She just bid her goodbye with Hrithik. She was thinking that Priya will be in her place now. 

The thought only brought dread to her. She was so emerged in her thought that she didn't see Mia coming. She didn't hear the greeting which Mia threw her way. 

"Disha dishaaa." Mia shouted in disha's ears. 

"AHH." Disha shrieked in fear. She looked sideways to only meet her friend's face. 

"What?" Disha asked, irritated. 

"What's this sudden irritation?" Mia asked. It was odd to see Disha irritated. Disha heard Mia saying that and immediately guilt hit her with a full force.

"I am sorry." Disha apologised. 

"You know Vihaan has a close friend more close than me." Disha complained to Mia wanting to blurt it out to someone. 

"Who's this close friend?" Mia inquired.

"Priya. I don't know her but she is Vihaan's new close friend." Disha's eyes welled up with tears thinking about the whole morning incident. 

"I don't want that to happen. I thought Vihaan would only be my close friend. He was so busy with his new close friend that he didn't even bid goodbye to me." Half of complaining she started crying.

Mia took her in the girls washroom as they were getting looks from everyone. Mia knew what close friends they were as she had already heard the news of their relationship from others. But she doesn't want to tell Disha as she is still not aware of those things.

"Why don't you directly talk to him." Mia suggested wanting to ease her friend's pain. 

"Should I go talk to him now?" Disha asked while looking at her with her big doe eyes. 

"Not now. Talk to him when he is at home. He will be alone there." Mia replies.

After that Disha washed her face and they both got busy in their studies. 

As Vihaan got rid of Priya he turned around so that he could say goodbye to her. But as he turned she was already gone. 

"Hey where is Disha?" Vihaan asked Hritik. He is looking around for Disha. 

"She went to her class when you were busy with your girlfriend." Hrithik retorted. 

Vihaan got angry. 'How can she go without bidding goodbye to me?' Vihaan thought angrily. Nowadays she is becoming a brat. 

He and hrithik also went to their classes. Vihaan thought to go meet Disha during lunch break. 

As break started, Vihaan made his way to the building of the lower students cafeteria. The cafeteria for lower and higher students were different. But Vihaan was stopped by Priya. 

"Hey vihaan let's eat lunch. And also meet my friends." Vihaan just blocked her out. Vihaan was getting impatient so he just pushed her away and started his way to Disha's cafeteria. As he reached he didn't see her in the cafeteria.

"Hey. Do you know where Disha Singh is?" Vihaan asked a girl who was passing by.

"No I don't know." She answered blushing. The break was over and Vihaan couldn't find Disha so he went to his class.

On the other side Disha and Mia were in the garden eating their lunch. Mia knew that the whole cafeteria would be talking about the great Vihaan's girlfriend so she bought Disha in the garden.

"Don't be sad" Mia was trying to cheer up Disha as Disha was still thinking about Vihaan. 

'Was she been mean. Vihaan can make more friends. He has the right to do so. But he never allows me to make friends.' All this thinking was making Disha sad.

"Don't overthink. Do you want to go to the park near our school after school gets over?" Mia asked hopefully to divert her mind.
