You will get a friend

It was Charlie's wedding card. The bride was Rihanna. I could not deny but I did not want to go too. A call came and I went to my room. I picked it up. It was Andrew, he was someone who knew everything about me and I told him about the wedding. I also told the wedding hall's name and asked what I should be doing. He told me, "Okay lovey, just meet me in front of your law firm three hours before you go." I did not think much and agreed. I thought he wanted to meet me to discuss about some cases as always.

~Flashback Part 2

I was enrolled in the college, but I could not make any friends. I was back to the loner Sarah. Many of them were rich and they belittled the poor ones. So, I just concentrated on studying. I always topped and kept my scholarship also. Everyone in the class thought I was a poor girl who does lots of part time jobs and stayed in a shabby room and to keep my scholarship I was studying hard. But one day when they tried to bully me and make me do some work, I just told them to not to meddle with me otherwise I will complain.

My first year went just like that, working and studying and living as a loner. I was getting thin than before. In second year, one day when I was just walking towards my class, a guy approached me. He stopped me and said, "Hi. I am Andrew. Let's be friends." He brought his hand forward. I looked at him with confusion and said rudely, "I am sorry, I am not interested." Just when I was about to walk forward he said, "Just friends, let's just be friends." I asked him, "What do you want? Just tell me." He asked confused, "What do you mean?" I said, "Well, without any purpose no one has ever approached me, so tell me your purpose, you do not need to pretend to be my friend."

He looked at me with blank expression first but then he smiled and scratched his back of hair and said, "Okay, yes you are telling the truth. You are the topper and I just want to improve my studies. Help me in my studies." I looked at him with no expression, "Why do you think I will help you? I will not gain anything." He said, "Um... well... you will. You will get a friend. I promise that it is not just any act but I really want to be your friend. I have noticed that you always stay alone and you do not have any friends so I will be one. Also, I will pay you."

I did not reply him and he said again, "Think about it and reply me tomorrow." He walked away.

As I had classes, I just had one job now, the waitress job and I just worked after classes ended from the evening to late night. I returned home and remembered what he said. I always heard his name among girls. I heard he ignores every girl possible. He does not even talk to girls. He did not even belong to a circle, he just did not have any close boy best friends also. He looked from an average background. He was not bullied just because he was handsome. The girls watched him from far when he played and he played really well almost every sports. So, I just thought for a few minutes about it.

The next day, he approached me again and asked, "So, what have you thought?" I answered him, "Well, how I can help you? I mean I am not a free person, I have to do a job after classes. I do not have time to teach you." He just said excitedly, "You do not need to give me private lessons also. I just need help. I will stay with you together in class and when I will have problem I can ask you in your job time." I asked him, "What do you mean?" He said, "Tell me where you work, I am also searching for a job, so I will join you there." I told him the work address. He said, "So, it's done, we are friends now. If you ever need help regarding anything else except studies remember me. Okay, lovey?" He winked. I looked at him with surprise and said, "My name is Sarah. So call me by my name." He smiled and said, "Okay nice name, lovey." I was irritated at how he called me 'lovey.' But, then we parted without talking more.

He got a job there as a waiter. Whenever we got free and when we had dinner together, he asked me his problems and I explained him. He also came to my place on weekends when he had problems. We also had fun when we studied. Time passed and we became best friends. In college many girls were jealous just because he only talked to me and also we had our lunch together and he spent his whole time with me except for the time when he played. He played basketball, football, everything. There was nothing that he did not know how to play. And also his studies improved because of me.
