Falling in Love Was Not the Plan — Chapter 20

Chloe's rational thinking died within the pool of doubts right from the moment she noticed Amara's tear filled sockets. This girl hardly wept but when she did, she cried hysterically for days.

Once it had happened When Ella played a cheat towards her and second time when she remembered, it was just heart wrenching. She had cried when her father met with a small accident in the last year after the first semester. She wanted to see her father so badly but since it was the time for preparing for the annual function, teachers could not let her go as Amara had to play the supervisor.

And today, this was the third time she was crying before her. Her cries were same like how she had cried the previous times and like usually Chloe's brain ceased functioning rationally. She was sure it has to be Alex the cause for her weep.

The other night he may have tried to force poor Amara which was now forcing her emotions on the last level and end up crying. "Hey Amara, please tell me what happened? If you would just cry and keep mum then how am i supposed to know your cause for the same" She said caressing her back.

Amara did not seem in the situation to speak. Her lips sealed against Chloe's shoulder while she shed her tears of pain. She cried with loud sobs making it difficult for Chloe to comprehend. All she can do was blame Alex in her mind.

It was good that Amara had pinned her to her seat whilst hugging her tightly otherwise Chloe would have rushed out to Alex's apartment and slapped him until he spilled out the truth himself.

However, it seemingly was not required as Amara accumulated herself sometime later. Her big round eyes were red, she looked like a broken Barbie doll. The way she batted her cilium Chloe cannot stop her smiles. She looked as if she needed a prince charming to calm down the volcano of agony inside her heart with a bashful kiss.

"I.. I miss..." Amara began, her broken words and irregular speed with fumbles pushed Chloe on the edge of her bed. She just wanted to listen that playboy's name from her mouth, so that she can immediately go and teach him a lesson for having troubled her baby room mate.

Amara sobbed once again, she was given a glass of water as her sobs grew intense. After she swigged few sips down her throat, her sobs calmed down hence allowing her to speak, "I miss my younger brother, George!"

Mouth handing low with shocked irises, Chloe blankly locked her eyes with Amara's face. Was she joking? Hope she was not. However, her expressions were so adamant that she can't let it go and trust her. "What the fuck!" Chloe twitched her lips looking away in annoyance. "Then why are you not going to see Alex from now on?" In spite of receiving a shock Chloe did not mind ask that.

"Ohh, that is because we have completed all the syllabus... Now he said he can revise on his own. I can concentrate on my own studies" Answered Amara biting the corner of her lips.

"W-What???" Amara asked playing with her fingers. She cluelessly waited in order to receive a response from her room mate.

Chloe groaned gritting her jaw feeling fooled by her innocent face. She was suspecting Alex for doing wrong to Amara but to her surprise the reality was something else. "Like seriously, Amara! You were crying for your brother." she pushed her aside walking back to her bed. "I thought Alex did something to you the other night... I was all prepared to bash him for his wrong doing"

Her eyes needed some more sleep but this girl, she ruined her sleepy state with her tears. "Oh no no, Alex never did anything wrong to me. I told you he is a good guy. I just miss him, Georgie. Last night I bumped into a duo of a sister and a brother... They were of my and George's age only. And seeing them enjoy in the fair it just reminded me of my brother. He loves me a lot." Amara shared, but she was unaware of the fact that her roomie has gone back to bed, ignoring her.

This only made her heave in uneasiness. She wished to share some more beautiful moments of her with her. She was unfortunately asleep though. Any ways, Amara abandoned her bed before she folded her sheets and moved in the wash room at once.

The canteen was over crowded today, all were chit chatting and enjoying as if there were no lectures today. Just a week was left for the examinations but looking at the faces of these students, it appeared as though they hardly cared about them. No hint of worry could he registered on their tension free faces.

Amara silently picked her seat. Don't know about others, but she has a lot to do in this week. Last night she had a serious conversation with Alex and according to that, from now on they had to part their ways.

Yeah, they decided to complete the further revision on their own. And it was initiated by Alex since he does not need her help any more. She did her work and now it Alex to do the rest.

Topper Amara helped him with her hand written notes, gave him the important question that were expected to come in the question papers, she taught him the tricks to do the equations and apart from that she gave him the confidence to attempt all the questions with hope.

All in all, she was done being used. Her role was over, Alex got what he needed. Now it was his journey to be covered alone. He no more needed a partner.

"Hi, can I have a seat here!" Amara was lost in her thoughts, she was wondering whether she can still see Alex anytime and anywhere as per her wishes when out of nowhere Bella occurred.

She was standing a tray of her breakfast. Her finger pointed at the empty seat at her table. "Yes please, why not." Amara removed her bag from the seat to let Bella settle in there. She moved her gaze in the canteen only to recognize that there were ample of seats available. Then why did Bella wanted to join her?

"Thank you." Bella thanked her, she adjusted her skirt before crossing her left leg over the right one and sat comfortably across Amara.

The way she ogled at her it was clear she was here with a purpose. But that purpose was not ascertain enough for Amara to comprehend as to what did she want from her.

"I heard you and Alex studying together?" Started Bella.

"Um, yeah. We were and now it's even done. We will now revise the whole alone as most of the study is done" Answers Amara with a grin.

Bella sipped her orange juice through the straw while her lipstick stained the straw with its colour, "Oh I see. Was that you who asked for that I mean i know Alex is weak in studies I am sure he would not want to risk this one week by studying on his own." Bella said.

Something was definitely wrong with her. She seemed to be pointing out something. Her words were indirectly hinting something else which Amara can't see.

"I don't know what do you imply to say. Please excuse me." Amara found it better to escape from there as sitting with Bella was earning her undesired attention from the guys sitting around them.

Bella held her wrist lightly, she eyed her to take back her seat, "Hey I know you think of me a bitch but I am not as bad as you think of me." Her statement forced Amara to nod in a no.

That was right she was kind of a vamp however, she never thought like that for Bella.

"It's not like that... I just need to wrap up some work." Amara lied not wanting her to feel bar of her actions.

Bella smiled, she knew this girl right from the moment she entered the college. An innocent beauty with zero percent idea of what people were made to of. And what they were doing to her.

"Alright Amara, I understand. Even I had an important job to finish off that's why I came to see you. I had something important that you need to know about Alex." Bella announced.

Amara set aside her empty tray. She focused her eyes on Bella as she asked, "What is that, Bella?"

Tbc...
