Best Friend or Boyfriend? (Us Against The World)

Sonali - Okay, first of all, how in the world do you manage to be the first to comment?? Haha, it happens pretty much all the time, thank you!! Anyway... My mind is drawing a blank!! Lol I have no idea what that word is!! Oh you’re gonna have to tell me because I seriously can’t figure it out. Oh thank you! I’m glad you understood the supposed kissing scene because I was wondering whether people would get it or not. Ahh I’m glad you think I update fast, because some people think I take ages. Which I think is crazy. But oh well..Love in return ;)

Ann - Ooh I’m glad you think so!! Thanks for liking my stories :) Hmm well Ella might change her mind about what she thinks in this chapter. You’ll see :)

Tina - I’m glad :) Haha, yeah I hoped that at least someone was going to think that they were actually about to kiss! Mmm yes I was trying to think of a name for Ella’s cousin and then I read your comment and thought your name would be perfect :) Well I think Denise was just trying to be helpful and a good girlfriend and whatever :) Yeah I think Us Against The World is the suitable title for this story, but if it’s taken like you said then I’ll have to stick with this title, which I think is fine too :)

Imani - Oh thank you for all those suggestions! I think they’re all great, and I might use them.. Or I might leave the title as it is, I’m still undecided. Anyway, thank you so much :)

Dani - Haha, yeah a lot of people seemed to think that..I’m glad that scene worked out. Thank you so much!

Juliet - Haha, okay so I just re-read that part and I have to admit I started laughing too, I get what you mean :) Ahh thank you for mentioning the title, I’ve decided I am going to keep it because it just suits. I’m glad you like the stories enough to read them at that time! Thank you!

Mariam - Haha I burst out laughing as soon as I read your comment, I’m glad you think so! And yeah, I was thinking I might bring that guy back too. Probably will :)

Shakayla - Ooh well I’m glad you think so. I love Ella too, she’s a lot like me, even the eating bit :) Wow, this is the second time someone’s commented on my stories saying that they’re in love with their best friend... I never realized how these stories could be so similar to real life. Anyways, good luck with that and I hope you enjoy the chapter!

Smita - Mmm yes I’ll admit if that happened to me I’d be pretty angry. Ohh you’re not speaking to him? Why?? Anyways, enjoy :)

Chapter Four

ELLA

‘Hey! Where’s all the food?!’ I shifted through Zach’s now immaculate cupboards. It was so organized it was ridiculous.

Zach came up behind me. ‘I did tell you she rearranged it.’

‘Yes but did she take all the edible food out? What is this cra- stuff?’ I pulled out a packet of god knows what. It had some type of foreign writing on it.

Zach laughed. ‘Uh, well Denise kind of likes to eat healthy stuff.’

‘Ohhh...Does she even know what this is? It’s written in something weird looking.’

‘It’s Arabic.’

I put the packet back in the cupboard. ‘She can read Arabic?’

‘Actually yes. Along with Chinese, french and something else I can never remember.’

‘Well damn, that’s really cool. Anyway, she didn’t throw my food out did she? Wouldn’t she have put it somewhere?’ I shifted through all the bottom cupboards but couldn’t find anything. Jeez.

At the sound of a car engine nearing I poked my head out. ‘Who’s that?’

Zach looked out of the window and groaned. ‘My mum.’

I jumped up and looked out. Oh it was too. Me and Priscilla, Zach’s mum, never got along. She hated me because I wasn’t ladylike, or rich like her family was. She never got why me and Zach were friends, until she came to the conclusion that he was friendly to me out of pity. It took all of my strength not to slap that lady right across the face. But, since she’s Zach’s mum I have to be nice to her. ‘I’m out.’

‘You don’t have to go.’

‘Well unless you want to start world war three, then yes I do.’

He sighed. 'Look I know my mum’s not exactly easy to get along with but-’

'Zachary!’ Priscilla’s voice rang out through the house.

Zach cringed and I laughed. ‘Good luck.’ I tapped his arm before walking to the door which let you exit the house from the kitchen. Thank God. But by the time I reached it, the door was locked and Priscilla had entered. I jiggled the door knob. Damn. I turned around just in time to see Priscilla pulling away from Zach. She raised an eyebrow when she saw me.

‘Well hello Ella. It’s nice to see you again.’

I faked a smile. ‘Hey Priscilla, nice to see you too.’

‘Well will you be joining us?’

‘Huh?’

Priscilla looked unimpressed by my response. Oops. ‘We’re going out for dinner. Have you met Denise?’

Something was wrong. Did she actually just invite me to dinner? ‘Yes I have.’

‘She’s nice isn’t she?’

‘Yeah sh-’

'I’m so glad that her and Zach are together. I think they’re just perfect, don’t you?’

'Absolutely.’ I tried to hide the sarcasm in my voice. Typical of her to ask me a question then cut me off.

‘So, are you going to come?’

‘Uhh, I don’t-’ Zach shot me a pleading look from behind his mum. Please, he mouthed. Gah! Oh he owes me.

‘Sure. I’d love to.’ I said reluctantly. Zach grinned and mouthed a thank you.

‘Great!’ Oh seriously what was wrong with this woman? She never says great. Well not when it had to do with me anyway. ‘Let’s leave now. I’ve already called Denise and she’s meeting us there. This is going to be perfect!’ Priscilla clapped her hands together and walked out of the room.

I looked back at Zach. ‘Hey what’s up with your mum? She’s being nice to me.’

Zach shrugged. ‘How should I know? But anyway, thanks for coming.’

‘Yeah, uh, why do you want me there anyway?’

‘I need you to be there. Otherwise I’ll go insane.’

‘Yeah, well now I’m gonna go insane along with you. Thanks for that.’

Zach laughed and led me out of the room. ‘Come on, it won’t be bad.’

‘Yeah, it’ll be terrible.’

I should have known that we were going to the most expensive restaurant in town. I sat at the table next to Zach since I refused to sit next to Priscilla. But I had my doubts now because she was right in front of me. I couldn’t look up without seeing her. Great.

‘Denise darling, how are you? You look stunning tonight.’ I had to force myself not to roll my eyes as they kissed each other’s cheeks.

‘Thank you Priscilla, I’m fine. And how about you?’

‘Oh good, good darling, here sit down.’

SHAYARI

When I see an eagle soaring in the sky,
Oh! if I had wings like a bird and could fly.

When I see the rainbow that is filled with colors
Oh! if I could wear those colors and make my life as colorful as it could ever be.
When I see the beehive filled with nectar from fragrant flowers,
I wish I could taste the sweetness of fragrance throughout my life.

When I see stars glittering in the darkness,
I wish I could sparkle my life with the glitter that fascinates me.

Dreams are many but desires don't always come true.
Living in hope, waiting for the right moment is what I've to do.

Success never comes without effort, so make ur own path...
rather than following the footprints.
The fruit will be urs someday, when u least expect it.

U'll be like the eagle soaring in the sky,

KAISE KARUN...?

sukuun-e-jaaN ke liye ab maiN duaa kaise karuN
dard jab tuune diya hai to gilaa kaise karuN
aksar lauTaa huun manzil se yahi soch ke maiN
ab muqammal ye safar tere binaa kaise karuN
mere she’roN mein yeh asar kahaaN tha pehle
karz maiN teri jafaaon ka adaa kaise karuN
zindagi bhar ki wafaaoN ka silaa hai yaaro
dil-e-barbaad ke zaKhmoN ki davaa kaise karuN
thi koi mere hi haaThon ki lakeeroN meiN kamii
apni taqdeer ka ab tujhse gilaa kaise karuN
meri nas-nas meiN basaa hai jo lahuu ban ke Dost
uski yaadoN se kinaara maiN bhalaa kaise karuN
ab munaasib hai yahi usko bhulaa duuN “Anil”
haaN , magar phuul ko khushbuu se judaa kaise karuN

Sweekar karun...

Phool choon pan kanta ne pyar karu chu,
zindagii che pan maut no swikar karu chu,
Aree! jivan ma ek bhool hoon varmvar karu chu,
manvi choon ne manvi ne pyar karu chu.

JAHAN ME HAR KOI...

Jahan me har koi khush nahi hota, zindagi me ghum kabhi kam nahi hota,
Lagta hai dukh dost hai hamara, aur ye Dost humse door nahi hota

BAHOT UDAS HUN MEIN

Mujhe gale se laga lo, bahot udas hun mein,
Gham e Jahan se chuda lo, bahot udas hun mein,
Yeh intezar ka dukh ab saha nahin jaata,
Mujhe paas bula lo, bahot udas hun mein,
Meri har sans mein, milne ki pyas palti hai,
Sulagh raha hai badan aur ruhh jalti hai,
Bacha sako to bacha lo, bahot udas hun mein,
Bhatak chuka hun bahot zindagi ki rahon mein,
Mujhe aake chupa lo tum apni baahon mein,
Bin tere mar na jaun kahin,
Mera sawal na taalo, bahot udas hun mein.
