Toxic love by Shikha Mishra (top fiction books of all time .txt) 📖

Disha's POV

As soon as school got over I took mia straight away in the  girls washroom.

"So what is the plan?" I asked her after locking the door.

"Aw eager aren't we". She goes to the washbasin to wash her hands.

"Mia tell me fast. If I get late vihaan and brother will come to search for me" I said. They always do that. One time teacher gave me some work and I had to complete that work before going home. And I forget to inform them. After half an hour all the staff members were searching for me. I was so embarrassed that day.

"Tell them you will be late simple" she suggests.

"But they will ask for a reason" I replied.

"Tell them a lie".

"But if vihaan comes to know that I lied he would not talk to me" I said. It's true when ever I do some mistake he ignores me for the whole day as a punishment.

"Why are you so afraid of him. You don't have to listen to everything he says" she says. But I ignore her words. She would always say this thing.

"Are you going to tell me your idea or should I go?" I asked. I am mad at her.

"Now you are mad at me. If you want to know my plan give me a one of your big goofy smile". And that made me give her a big smile. I can't be mad at anyone for a long time.

"So the plan is that you would get in a fake relationship with some boy and if vihaan gets jealous then he has that type of feelings for you and if he doesn't then bye bye to your feelings" she suggests.

"But he never allows me to be friends with anyone then how can I be in a relationship with someone" I reply sadly. This plan is not going to work. *Ring ring* my phone rings. I remove my phone from my bag and see that vihaan has called a smile instantly makes its way on my face. Mia just gives me a knowing smile.

"Hello vihaan" I picked up the phone.

"Where are you Disha?". He called by my name means his mad.

"Um vihaan i am in girls washroom. I would be there in few minutes" I said.

"Did you got your periods but there is still some time. Are you getting your periods irregular? Come I will take you to a gynecologist". As soon as I heard him my whole face turns red. How can he say such embarrassing things. If someone heard him then it would be more embarrassing.

"No Vihaan. I didn't got my periods. I will be there in few minutes. Bye" I declined the call instantly. I got my first period when I was 13 and it was in school. My mom had told me about this but when it came I panicked I didn't knew what to do at that time. And that day Mia was also absent. I locked myself in girls washroom. During lunch break Lucas shouted from other side I was so shocked, happy and embarrassed. He asked me if I was inside and I answered him and after much questioning from him of why I am here. I told him and he was so sweet. He bought me pads, chocolates, some painkillers and a spare skirt and undergarments. I was so embarrassed. As I didn't felt any pain I didn't took the painkillers. From then on he was keeping the tabs of my periods. And I still get embarrassed when ever he talks about it.

"Hey are you here or did you went in your vihaan la la land". Shit I forget about her. She has still that look.

"So what were you saying" I asked ignoring her question.

"It's just that you have to get in a relationship".

"But vihaan gets jealous of you also then he will definitely get jealous of the boy with whom I will get in a relationship" I said as a matter of fact. Vihaan gets jealous of everyone.

"We will see it after you get in a relationship".

"But with which boy".

*Knock knock* "Buttercup you there?". Shit vihaan came here.

"I will tell you tomorrow. Now go" Mia says in a hushed tone. She goes in one of cubicle. I open the door and see a very worried vihaan and brother.

"Are you hurt somewhere Dumbo?" Brother asked checking if I has some injuries in my body.

"No. I am not. Let's go". We all went towards the car. The whole ride I was thinking about the plan which Mia suggested. Should I give it a try. No this play is silly I will tell Mia that I am not going to be in relationship. And because of this plan vihaan will get mad at me. And I don't want that. We reached my house.

"Bye vihaan" I said as today he is going to his house.

"Bye buttercup. Bye buddy" he bids us goodbye. Me and brother go inside the house.

"We are home" me and brother said in unison. We looked at each other and laughed. We went in the kitchen and saw that mom has kept food in the fridge. I remove it and set the table for both of us. We start eating with him teasing me. 'Dumb brother' I say in my mind.

Then I go in my room. I took a shower and thought to sleep for a little bit. Ringing of phone woke me up from my sleep. Without checking the name I picked up.

"Hel *yawn* lo" I said in the phone.

"Hey did I wake you up from your vihaan la la land" the irritating voice of my friend came from other side.

"Why did you call me? I am sleepy" I replied as I still want to sleep.

"Ok. I just called you to know are you up for the plan" she asked.

"No. That plan is silly" I said.

"But. Ok I will again call you at night till then think about this plan again" with that she ended the call. I again went to sleep. Again I woke up with phone ringing. I knew Mia was the one to ask me again so I just ignored the call and I went in a sleep. Again my phone started ringing. I picked up.

"I told you this plan is silly" I said irritated. And now my sleep was long gone.

"What plan buttercup?" Vihaan asked from other side. Shit I am so stupid.

"Um vihaan nothing I thought Mia was calling me again" I replied praying to God to not let vihaan ask me anymore question.

"Ok. I wanted to tell you that I am not coming today to teach you. Just complete all your homework". Did god really listened to my prayer. But wait a minute he never misses a day to teach me then why today.
