14. "Suddenly Everything Has Changed"

My Deary,
            
Last night was a rough one since after coming back home I confronted my parents about their divorce.They acted like it should not be an issue for me.I decided not to argue further so went to my room. Obviously I couldn't sleep after it,so i decided to call Debika.She didn't pick up,hence she was asleep as it was 12.30 then.I called Varun unconsciously.As soon as I realized my mistake he picked up the phone."Hey everything fine?" he asked worriedly.I answered"ya,I guess I needed someone to talk to.. but I am really sorry for disturbing you at this time"."No I couldn't sleep and theres no way you can disturb me"he said.
"As if!"I said blushing."So how did it go"he asked."How did what go?" I asked  him confused."You spoke with your parents right?"he demanded."Ya,they behaved like it was no big deal, but I have decided to let it go...wait! how did you know I will confront them today only?" I insisted.He said "I know you more than you think Radhika..hey I will catch up with you tomorrow..moms calling me,need to go,take care" ."Ohh so finally Varun Chawla returns to school tomorrow!okay,goodnight!"I joked and hung up the phone.He could make me laugh even in the darkest times.Was he just a friend for me?Before I could think more about it,I was deep asleep.

They say new mornings mean new beginings,today I totally felt it.I woke up, had breakfast and went to school wishing mom good morning.I was happy to see her shocked expression to see me calm.I told Debika evrything about my parents.She felt bad as she couldn't be there yesterday,but I reminded her how I will always need her.I did not say anything about Varun..maybe cause I neded time to think about it.

The moment Varun entered the class,Prithvi started taunting him.Instead of answering back,he smiled towards me.And our classes started...it was a very hectic day with heaps of homeworks,assignments.While returning home with Debika and others,Savy asked"Is there something going between you and Chawla?".I was suprised by her sudden question.I replied "no,why?"."No I saw him smiling at you today,hes totally into you"she said.I did not know how to respond but we reached my home,so I simply waved them bye and came home.Then a message flashed in my cel "Wanna tell you something important..can you meet me tomorrow evening after school by the lake?".It was from Varun.I replied "ya sure".

This was different.I was excited yet scared.Suddenly,I felt everything changed and since a child I have not been a fan of changes.What if he didn't like me?what if he did?and if he did what would I tell him?could it destroy our friendship?I was more confused than ever.And only one person could help me:DEBIKA.
