Chapter 11 [Ace]

I don’t know why I asked her that. From what I know, it wasn’t typical of me at all.  No, I couldn’t believe that it was me. 

I think it was my first time asking someone to be my friend. After such a long time, I asked someone to be friends with me.

I am just 17 years old. I may not have experienced much about life and its situations. But I can say one thing for sure: I have seen many people experience their lives, and somehow it was all tragic, which might be a reason why I didn’t want to interact with people or make any bonds with them.

Humans are selfish. Once they are desperate to get something, they try hard, but they just forget its value once they get it. It doesn’t even bother them anymore. Yes, that’s what I’ve seen…that’s how it is; all the time.

You barely get any genuine friends, but others don’t know how important it is. And as for me, I changed, but when and why, I still don’t know. 

But this time it is different…I am damn sure it is! After Annie became my friend, I started changing again and maybe….I still am.

After the competition, they decided to have a party at Dav’s house. It was fixed the following weekend after the competition. Everyone agreed to join the party. Ace decided to come too.

Four days before the party day, Annie was a bit off, and this time, the expression on her face was a bit more grave than what he saw on the competition day.

Once he was home, he called her later in the evening (the same day).

Annie: Hey, Ace sup?

Ace:  Hey there, umm… by the way, you’re coming to the party, right?

“Sorry… I won’t be coming this time,” Annie replied.

The day fixed for the party is; 27^th of December, Saturday
