Dark Doors

DIANA'S POV:

I was sitting in the classroom making sketches on my sketchbook. My friend came into the room and sat next to me and said, "Hey, Laura what are you doing sitting here all alone? We are talking about throwing a party tonight and here you are sitting here without any expressions on your face. "

I smile and shut my sketchbook and put it in my bag and stood up to go outside with her. Stacy is my best friend. She is a beautiful black girl. Her black hair is always in curls and she always has this smile on her face.

We walked into the canteen area and someone huge me from behind and spin me around. I yelled laughing,

"Stop Joshua."

He let go and turned me around and hugs me again. "Where were you?" I replied hugging him back, "In the classroom, I wanted some time alone. " He nods and asked, "So are you coming to the party tonight? " I shrug and replied, "Yes, of course, why not. " He merge our heads and said

"That's great. I and Joshua are dating since the start of college. We started as friends and he asked me out and after that, we start dating. It's been three months now. After that, we went to the canteen and had our lunch. We went back to the classroom when my friend Jared walked up to me and said, "Hey Diana, Can you please help me with some mathematics sums. I can't solve them on my own." I turned my head to Joshua and smiled, 'He can't do his sums without me. I need to help him." Joshua smiled and nodded and Stacy said coming next to Josh, "Ok, then we will be off to class and you both can go to the library for your work." I smiled at her and held Jared's arm and we walked to the library. Jared asked looking at me and asked, "So how is everything going on between you and Joshua?" I hug my book tightly and replied, "It is going on very good and I am so in love. You know we are deciding to get engaged soon and after graduation, we will marry."

He clapped his hands and said, "Wow that's so good, but don't you think that you are going too fast. I mean your friend Stacy is always behind him. He stays behind him all the time even now she went with him and you didn't even care." I laugh at his stupid humour, "You know, sometimes you talk like a fool. Joshua and Stacy are our friends and they are friends like us. I also held your hand in front of him but he didn't mind. This is the trust we have between us." He clapped his hands and replied, "You are really madly in love with him. Love is blind example suits you perfectly."

I laugh and dragged him to the library so we can start our work and I don't have to hear his silly jokes again.

JARED'S POV:

After solving the questions Diana hit my forehead with her pen and asked, "Did you understand what I told you? Or you didn't get it?" I smile and reply. "I understood, thanks a lot." She nodded and picked up her books and said, "Because of you I lost my half class, Now I have to take my other half lecture. Come on you too." She walked out of the library.

I already knew all the questions and their answers. All I wanted was to spend some time with her but she never looks at me. She looks at me as her best friend but for me, she is so much more. She loves Joshua a lot and I love her a lot. I hope one day she could see my love for her as well. I picked my books up as well and walked out of the library as well. I went into the class and saw that Romeo and Juliet were already sitting together and smiling trying to hold each other hands under the table.

I went into the class and sat on the empty chair that was the last. I was trying my best to concentrate on my lecture but my mind was roaming around her and my eyes were on them. They look so happy together. With him, she smiles like a blooming flower. She never behaved like this in front of me. A smile came up on my lips looking at her smiling face. After the lecture, I shut my bag and headed to her again. Joshua was persuading her for something.

"Come on Diana, You know we will have a lot of fun together there. We will eat and drink, We will play games. All of our friends will be there." I asked smiling at Joshua, 'What are you talking about?' He put his hands in his pockets and replied, 'I am telling Diana to join me at the party tonight but now she is refusing. I don't know why this girl doesn't like to hang out in crowded places?" I entwin my arm with hers and tried to make a point, "Diana, You should come. I will be there as well. If you will feel bored I will take you home myself." She smile and shook her head, "You all are too pushy. Ok, but I will wear something decent and revealing." That's when Josua grabbed her and hugs her in his arms, "I like to show everyone that I have the masterpiece that no one could get." She blushed and placed her head on his chest and at this Stacy clapped like a stupid child. I smile and clap as well and then we walked out of the class altogether.

Now her hand was in his hand and they were walking hugging each other and me and Stacy was on each side. I am on Diana side as usual. I was feeling awkward and said my goodbye first and left from there leaving them behind.
