AN:- Well I am happy with the response from your side! Thank you all and I'm seriously bored during this lockdown period. *Sighs*

Kai:- Will you even start the story?!

Subha:- Wait! Where did you come from all of a sudden?

Kai:- Hn. The room's name was subha's heart. *Glared at me*

Subha:- Well sorry for kidnapping you! I can't help!

Kai:- Well she'll keep telling you unnecessary things! Now with the story!

Carol's POV

Damn! I got down. I needed to take another smoke. I wasn't addicted but sometimes it just got out of control. I know smoking is not good. But for god's sake, just another one wouldn't hurt right? No one understands me. My brother is the only one who doesn't scold me and just leaves me alone whenever I want to be.

I got a call just when I was about to light my thing. "Hello?!" I screamed. "You scream at nobody but only me?" My brother spoke. "If you already know, then come and pick me soon Kai!" I shouted again and I heard him say "Don't call me just Kai I'm your brother for heaven's sake!" Only I could annoy him to that extent! Hehehe...

I suddenly remembered Tala, damn he was a hot and weird guy though!

Poor him, I just told him directly that he couldn't love me. But I want to die soon, so why should I hurt him simply, I saw a black bike. I sat on it and spoke,"what took you so long?" Kai stared behind.

"Traffic jam Carry!" He spoke.

"Traffic, traffic..." I muttered.

"Wait did you get a guy you love?" He asked all of a sudden. My throat went dry.

"What?! How come you know? I mean no way!"

"I know everything Carry! So... What's his name?"

"Bro I'm not interested in him"

"Carry I can see you blush!"

"You're lying bro!"

"Tell me his name and I will not ask you anything" kai spoke watching me from the of rear view mirror.

"It's Tala." I spoke in a low voice.

"What? Say again!"

"Don't tease me, stop it!" I screamed.

"Wait seriously?! There was a lot of noise!" He said and I noticed that it was quite noisy.

"Tala!" I shouted.

"What? Gorilla?" He asked laughing. I never saw him laughing from many days. I knew he wanted to tease me!

"And what about your girlfriend? She did not come here since ages! Where is she huh?" I asked tickling him slightly.

"She went to a tour. Everyone goes to that place." Kai murmured and I couldn't hear properly as I was sleepy. "I'm so tired Kai." I spoke and we reached home.

I yawned and slept on the sofa itself. Next morning I woke up up and cleaned the house before leaving for college. "You shouldn't smoke you know" Those words said by Tala were repeating in my brain. Damn it! You shouldn't think too much Carol! I tried to to comfort myself. Wait?! Did I really fall for Tala? No way! But what if it is? But I don't even know Tala well and we are not even friends completely. We did not gain each other's trust yet too!

Is this what people call love at first smoke?!

This time I did not see Tala till I reached the campus. I forgot my wallet somehow... "Shit!" I exclaimed loud enough for few people to hear. At this, I gained Tala's attention. "Hi!" He said and I didn't know what to do next. I was not scared to interact, I was scared of love. I know others might think it was completely irrational, but for me it was that way.

"Yo!" I said in time.

"Wassup? Huh?" He asked.

"Nothing. I just left my wallet, it's not in my bag" I said trying my best to be casual, though I was worried inside. "No problem, when Tala's here! You can be with us today!" He referred to another girl who was staring at us or to be honest glaring at me. He caught my hand and took me towards that girl. "Carol, this is Hilary, my friend just like 'her'." He spoke.

Whom did he refer to? Did he know someone like me?

"Hi Carol! Awesome choice Tala!" Hilary screamed and hugged me tight. I was feeling creeped out as hell! I wasn't able to breathe! "Hi Hila.. yyy!" I spoke coughing as I literally felt like being choked to death. Tala was laughing hard and Hilary screamed unexpectedly in fear and gestured me to look behind. I felt as her face was like she saw a ghost or something. When I turned around, I laughed hard.

"Panda!" I shouted, it was a guy who was known by both of them. "And this 'panda' is Tyson!" Tala said examining his eyes. I was still grinning like a crazy animal. "Tyson, where did you hit man?!" I asked him and Hilary was still staring at him with her mouth wide open.

"I couldn't sleep yesterday because of Hilary's snoring!" He complained.

"Seriously?! You snore too!" Hilary debated and stared like an innocent person who was unaware of whatever was happening. I tried to touch Tyson's black eyes and he interrupted me telling,"Don't he weird like me!" Tala was looking at my actions and I had to suppress my laughter again because everyone thought of me like an alien because of my weirdness!

Hn... I realised that I was happy after many days or maybe it was just an accident that I finally laughed? It was because of Tala! He made me interact with new people, a new story of my life? A new chapter that I could create? With Tala? Everything is in my hands. Well maybe I should forget about the past but it's too hard. Lord help me!

AN- I hope you people are not bored. Well this story will go on at a slow rate because I have to add even the smallest detail! I don't want anything to be left out! So...

Anyways thank you all for your support!
