Sasha's POV

It was my first day at Stanes School and I was afraid whether people would accept a newcomer like me.

I sat on the first bench which was empty. As I was getting my things out of my bag, I saw a guy rushing in the class with his pants unzipped. I couldn't help stop laughing at him.

The guy next to him pointed me and asked him to zip his pants. I saw him approaching me with a fake smile which was actually super cute!

"Hey.... you... why are you laughing... you didn't see anything did you?"

I winked at him and started laughing out loud. Of course I noted the red boxers he was wearing inside his pants.

I introduced myself to him and I found that his name was Sam. I noticed that he was a pretty handsome guy while shaking hands with him.

He was tall and had good features. The most attractive thing about him was his hazel brown eyes. He introduced his friend Timmy who happened to mock him always.

I wondered how can guys be friends when they mock each other so badly! Guess there are many things in which girls differ from boys.

"Nice to meet both of you... I heard a rumour that there is a Playboy in the school named sam... is that you?"

"Apdi elam onum ila.. Neeyuma?" (Nothing like that.. you also huh)

I laughed at him. He was totally shy and that kinda attracted me to him I guess.. I patted on his shoulders and put up my so called "puppy eyed look"

"Ok ok we all can have lunch together okay?"

"Great! For sure...."

From that day on, the three of us got together and formed our own league name called STS (This is not copied from k-pop BTS seriously)

As years passed, One day I got a surprise visit from the person I love the most! As I came home, I found the door was wide open. When I went to my room, I found that there were lots of chocolates and branded toys all over the place. As I was surprisingly looking at the goodies, a hand grabbed me from the back and kissed my head. I know that instant who the person was.

Yes dammit! My dad returned from US at last! I couldn't hold back my tears after seeing him. I cried and cried for a pretty long time while hugging him tight

"Dada! I missed you so much!"

"Aww don't cry baby girl! You were anyways chatting with me daily through your mothers' skype account na? Anyway where is your mother Shalini?"

"Mom has been out shopping she would be here now by any minute"

As I was speaking, the door opened and my mom came in. She dropped the shopping bags and stood shocked. My dad smiled at her and as dad went near mom, he received a tight slap!

"Shalini what happened!"

"You were supposed to return last month! Where were you! I missed you so much"

My mom cried and hugged dad hard squeezing the breath out of him. Even though it was awkward to see an old couple romancing each other, I literally was happy. It had been ages when we had been together like a family.

"So how did things go there pagal? Is your music project over?"

"Actually I have to go to the US again!"

"What..... you want another slap from me huh Mr. Network Romeo?"

"Let me explain. I have a friend there who said she can help you out in starting your own fashion line and I can get admission for Sasha in Stevenson High school"

"So you want both of us to come along with you next time?"

"Yes! What do you say Sasha? Do you want to come with me to the US?"

I smiled. I didn't know what to say. My dad just now came home and whatever he said was so all of a sudden!

I was happy that I could spend more time with Dada but leaving school just as I was making friends seemed a little hard for me. My mom discussed with dad and said to work things out.

After a week with lots of debates and discussions, it was decided that I'll be going to US along with dad and mom. After school, I can join college there and stay with my dad or I can return with mom while she starts her clothing line in Rajasthan.

I told Sam that I had to go abroad along with my father and mother. I assured that we would be in contact no matter what. I know he was upset but I couldn't do anything about it.

After I went to the US, I messaged sam from the new iphone that dad had got for me.

Sam's POV

"Why do we have to study in a school like this!" Timmy screamed. I tugged at the guys shoulders and whispered to him.

"Dude didn't you notice? The new girl on the front desk is looking at you and laughing?"

"Dey mandaya (blockhead)... she is laughing at you... not me... first zip your pants"

I sat down immediately embraced while zipping my pants..... Thankfully no one was there except for that girl.
Why should I always get to be the scatterbrains?

I went near the girl with a fake smile which I was good at. She was looking really pretty with long wavy hair and sparkling eyes.

"Hey.... you... why are you laughing... you didn't see anything did you?"

She winked at me and started laughing out loud. I tried to cover my face. I could easily see that idiotic friend laughing with my third eye!

"Hey... don't be so embraced... I won't tell anyone unless you are willing to be friends with me okay? I'm Sasha"

I smiled and shook hands with her. Suddenly that well known idiotic voice rang through my ears...

"Dey Playboy Sammy enada first day laye vitha kamchi pona usher panita?" (Trying to show off in the first day itself huh?)

I gave a glance and asked him to come near me.

"Hey Sasha... this puramboku (wasteland) is my friend Timmy.. he likes to be friends with all girls in school"

"Oh I see nice to meet both of you... So I heard that you are a Playboy?"

"Apdi elam onum ila.. Neeyuma?" (Nothing like that.. you also huh)

"Ok sammy we three can have lunch today and can you introduce me to your friends? I'm new here"

I helped her with all things I could. She was really a pretty sweet girl who always made me smile even while I was feeling depressed or sad.

One year passed so quickly yet I got to know very little information about her. She was tight-lipped about her family and always changed the topic whenever I said that I want to visit her at home. Our friendship between us was definitely growing stronger though. Everything was fine until every school guy's worst nightmare happened to me as well!

Board exams! How I hate those... why are they even conducting those and wasting papers. Imagine the plight of more than hundreds of trees getting assassinated daily for a lousy exam!

Who invented these stuff?... Indha exam kandupudhuchava matum kaila kedacha" (If I get my hands on the one who invented exams!)

As I was thinking random exam facts I saw Sasha approaching me

"Hey Sammy boy.... After board exams I'll be going abroad"

"What? So are you going to do your studies abroad? There are two more years and syllabus is entirely different na? How will you cope up?"

"It's difficult I know,,, but I can't do anything because my dad has a music project in the US and mom is also going with him"

"Sasha.. Do you change schools often? It has been just one damn year since you came here"

"I know right... I have studied in five schools in different places so far"

"Well...Guess I can't do anything about it...Please don't forget me and stay in contact okay?"

"Of course... I'll get an iphone after my board exams are over... and we can chat daily okay?"

"Yeah sure..."

"Btw sam.... get good grades in the board exam! I know music is your lifeline or whatever but... in this world education matters... don't be so carefree... I'm concerned over you"

"Really? Why do you have a concern on me alone... tell Timmy.. He is worse"

"Well.. I like you that's why.... I have lots of friends now but you are different compared to others"

"You dont even speak much about you or your family and you know I..."

"Hey speak later. My friend is waiting.. gotta go home.. It's already late"

Somehow the exams came to an end. I was confident about getting good grades because I really worked hard. As the holidays started, I spent my time watching movies. One day I got a friend Request from her. Yes it was Sasha all right!

"Hey got your iphone huh? Nice to see you in Facebook"

"Ya me too... How are you Sammy boy? It has been a long time since we spoke... How did you do your exams?"

"Yeah... I am going to get good grades than you for sure..."

"Wow.. so much confidence huh? Nice.."

"Holidays are boring na...how do you manage to spend time in the holidays?"

"I do modeling, shopping, sketching, cooking, blah blah... Hey you sleepy? Why are you responding late?"

"Ya I'm a bit drowsy Sasha... its almost 1am here"

"So sorry! I literally forgot about the time zones!"

"How is US between? People like me can only dream about coming there!

"Ya its good... we'll speak tomorrow its late so good night take care!"
