Her FaceBook Friend

I was back in my room, doing my delayed homework that I needed to complete. After our bad encounter, The rest of the day went smoothly for me without any difficulties and I didn’t saw him again too, just a few rude words here and there from some of my bullies nothing worse.

‘Your first kiss is stolen. What could be worse than it?’

My stupid brain reminded me and I shook my head to clear my thoughts. Crying over things that I have no control over will do me nothing good. It will only increase my problems.

Inhaling a breath, I opened my phone to distract my mind. Wanting to see if Remo did text me again or not.

“Hey”

“Are you worried about me Jacky?” I read and reread his text multiple times.

‘Why? I didn’t even know myself.

Scrolling down I saw his other text.

“Riots have occurred after the last day we talked and the internet was shut down for a few days here, so I couldn’t contact you. But don’t worry about me! I am fine. Nevertheless, if you missed me so much how about you give me your phone number. It will be easy for you to contact me.”

Instantly my brows frowned and I opened the google and searched for it.

‘it had happened. Oh, God! And I didn’t even have any idea about it. Riots in our country happen almost every year. It was nothing new. Two communities fighting over something without even a concrete reason mainly it was always caused by the political parties just before the election to win in one.

“Hey. I am sorry to know about it. Are you Okay? How about your family? Is everything okay?” This time I typed faster than I would have typed. Maybe he had created a little place for himself in my heart.

“I am fine Jacky. Don’t worry, me and my family both are fine. I didn’t know I mattered to you that much. ” his reply was ready in an instant and my heart decided to do a summersault without me knowing. What was I doing? Getting worried over a boy I talked like from a few days ago.

At that time I didn’t get the idea, of how to reply to him. So I took few seconds to type out the perfect reply

“Of course, I knew about the riots, that’s why I was asking.” I tried to portray that It was a nonchalant reply.

“Whatever makes you sleep at night baby.” He teased and instantly a smile Bloomed on my face.

He has a way with words.
