Kevin, are you awake?

After two minutes, the phone vibrates. Kevin’s message pops up on the screen.

Hey! What’s up?

(Typing...)

Nothing much....So what are u doing?

Chatting!;)

Sammy takes a deep breath. She wants to open up everything to Kevin, as he is her best friend. Her fingers moving quickly, she replies:

I had a huge fight with the brat....

Kevin’s two messages popped up instantly.

Your boyfriend?

Why don’t you just leave him?

Sammy’s hands trembled with anger. She spoke as she replied; imagining Kevin was right in front of her:

You gone nuts?! Hugh is the love of my life!!! I just can’t leave him. What the hell would I do without him? So much of pain I took to impress him! He is a really nice guy....but these fights keep on recurring....help me so that I can make him understand....staying away from him is like a dagger in my heart....bringing tears and snatching away happiness.....:’(((

It took few seconds for Kevin to understand the entire message. As he read it, the only thing that came in his mind was: You are the one whose gone nuts Sammy. Being such a melodramatic. It sucks.

After five to ten minutes, Sammy’s phone vibrated. She opened the message with her heart beating violently. Above Kevin’s text message was an image sent by him. Sammy clicked on it.

The image opened, portraying Sammy in a pink dress, beaming at the camera. Her handswere on her hips and her left leg was slightly bent at its knee. Her hair was left open, dancing with the wind.It was a picture from her seventh grade. She looked more bubbly and sweet. She recollected that Kevin had taken this picture of hers, not due to the obvious fact that it had been sent by him seconds before, but because the background displayed the dark walls of a tunnel, which was their ‘secret hiding.’

Sammy smiled at the picture of hers and scrolled down the screen to read Kevin’s message.  The moment she read it, a tear slipped through her left cheek.

You can choose whether to laugh or cry.....if you were smiling that time without that ‘brat’ in your life....so why not now?

A moment later, another message popped up on the top of screen. It was again from Kevin. She clicked on it instantly.

There are 6,775,235,842 people in the world....letting one of them ruin your life???
