Then Ray says, "If you really wanna know about your enemies..."

"Yeah?"

"Then I would say that that would be your parents"

"What?"

"Yes"

"What are you talking about? My parents...How can they be..." I glance over to John for answers.

John was silent.

"Lisha...there's something I've been meaning to ask you-" Ray asks.

"?"

"Since when did you start caring about that monster?"

"What??"

"Your mother. When I called you, you seemed to be so worried about her..."

"Yeah? Isn't it normal to be worried about your parents? And they had an accident..."

John and Ray exchange glances.

"I think there is something very wrong here..." Ray speaks up.

"What?" I furrowed my brows.

"Lisha doesn't seems to remember, Ray" John says.

"Tell me!? What is it!???"

"Lisha...Your parents are not your real parents."

"You are adopted"

My heart drops.

"It's strange when I think about it. How come you talk about your parents so well and even care about them so much now when you used to hate their guts before. And why wouldn't you hate them, they are really fucked up people"

"What??"

"You must really not remember anything at all..." Ray sighs.

"You used to say that they ruined your life. They were horrible people indeed, I think they were the reason you were so rebellious. They were crazy controlling, they used to destroy your guitars, and sometimes even lock you up for days without food or water, once I had even threatened to call the police on them" John shook his head.

"What? But they have never done that to me..."

"I think its only because you have changed now. You must have become real obedient and probably listen to their every word, whether bad or good. "

"..."

"Am I not correct?"

I was unable to answer.

John puts his hand on Ray's shoulder and says, "Let's stop now..."

Ray was about to ask something but decides to stop.

There was only silence between us.

Moments passed by in this way.

There were cheerful sounds from the nearby tables.

Everyone seemed to be having fun.

Only the three of us were stuck in time.

Then finally I broke the silence by asking, "Then..."

Both of them turn to look at me.

"Who are my real parents?"

"We don't know Lisha...However, your foster parents were probably close with your parent's and they adopted you after their death" Ray explains.

"..."

Noticing my silence again, John says, "The coffee is gonna go cold...

"Mr John...Ray..."

"Yeah?"

"Please tell me what kind of a person I was? What are the things I liked and disliked? Who were my friends and whom did I love?"

Ray inhales a deep breath and then says, "do you really wanna know?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll begin..."

"The story of us"

💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

"Hey Ray!! Hurry up or we'll be late for class!"

Ray who closes up while panting hard, says, "Slow down Lisha..."

"No way! We'll be late!!"

"Gosh! Since when did you start caring about being late to classes?" Ray says finally reaching up to Lisha.

"What do you mean? I'm always like this" she answers.

"Yeah yeah! Let's go!"

They reached school just in time.

"See we made it. You were worried for nothing!" Ray says.

"Yeah BARELY" Lisha adds.

"Fineeeeee! Let's go now"

"Hmm~"

Although Ray didn't say much but he wondered- What made Lisha come to class on time today?

But on reaching class, his doubts get answered.

Lisha's eyes were fixated on the new transfer student.

He had calm sea-green eyes and smooth black hair, he had recently moved into this town.

"Ohhhh!!!! So this was the reason!!" Ray teases her.

"What!?" Lisha tries to act cool.

"What else? Lisha the reason why you came so early today..."

"What's going on??" Haley who was seated behind joins.

"Nothing Ray's just cooking up stupid shit"

"But it's true- you have been staring at him for the whole time" Ray argues.

"Omg Whoooooo~~~~" Haley asks.

"Now this is new" Keith who was sitting at the front looks back and joins us.

"See that transfer student?"

"No way that quiet dude?" Keith asks.

"Noooooo!!!" Lisha screams.

The whole class, including Mike turns around to look at Lisha.

"Shit-" she cursed under her breath.

The teacher turns around and immediately lashes out at Lisha, "Hey Lisha Walker! Out now!!"

"Ugh..." She groans and gets up from her place.

"Damn...There goes her good impression" Haley feels bad.

Mike who hadn't been paying attention to the class this whole time, was finally looking this way.

His sea-green eyes met Lisha's as she was about to leave the class.

His eyes seemed curious, as they followed her outside.

She glanced at him through the window, to which he averted his gaze in haste.

He didn't want her to know that he was looking at her.

But of course Lisha didn't stop looking.

Once she has her eyes on something, its hard for her look away.

After class...

As Mike was about to leave, Lisha slams her hand on his desk.

Then bending over him she asks, "So..."

Mike stares at her in surprise.

"Where you staring at me?"

Haley who was following the whole thing covers her head, "There she goes again"

"The audacity- When she was the one doing all the staring!" Ray says.

"This is gon be fun" Keith adds.

"Hello?" Lisha asks.

"Uh...sorry" he answered.

"Just sorry won't do. I am gonna complain on you for stalking" she pushes further.

Keith bursts out laughing.

By now almost everyone in the class were looking at them.

"What's going on?"

"Lisha's at it again~"

"What no way! Poor guy hahaha"

People talk about them.

And then Mike says, "Sorry, uhm...it's just that you are really pretty so..."

Lisha's eyes widen in surprise.

The whole class bursts into cheers.

"Excuse me?"

"What?" He asks confused.

Out of all the excuses he could have come up with the boy just choose to blurt out something honest.

That ended up surprising her.

"Omg he didn't just say that hahaha" Haley laughs.

"This new guy is really something~" Keith says.

But Lisha felt her heart skip a beat.

She stared into his sea-green eyes, he didn't break eye contact.

That's when Lisha realised.

She had to make this boy hers.
