In year 20x students are walking in hallway of university “X”.

Hey Sherry stop!!!!!! …. I swear I am not lying. I saw him there with Barirah. He was with her, said Elizabeth.

How could I believe you????? He told me yesterday that he is going back to city B, said Sheryl.

I know you don’t believe me but Barirah told this to Quinnie as well that she is going to meet Jack this morning. I secretly followed Barirah and saw with my own eyes, said Elizabeth.

Elie please….

(Mobile rang)

Elie, Jack is calling me, I’ll talk to you later, Sheryl said and walked towards the window.

Hello Jack… Have you reached????

Sheryl I don’t want to continue this relationship with you anymore…. You are nothing as compared to other girls… I realized now that it was affection not love… Barirah told me about your past relations…

What???? What relations????? I was never being in relation with anyone before you… and what she told you??? You really met her???? , Sheryl asked in shock.

Shut up Sheryl, how much you are planning to lie???? I have caught your lie… I wonder how a decent girl like Barirah was your friend….. Well it’s enough… don’t call me anymore. I don’t want to have any relation with a liar and cheater like you… (Hang up)

Sheryl felt hand on her shoulder and turned. Elie was there looking her with shock.

What happened Sherry????? Why are you crying?? What he said??? Tell me…, said Elizabeth.

He broke up with me. He said Barirah told him that I had many relations in past and cheating on him and he believed whatever she told him…. Why she did this???? , said Sheryl with tears in her eyes.

You stay here Sherry; I will ask her myself… How dare she lie to Jack about you...? What is her problem???? I don’t understand what the hell is she thinking, I am going to kill that bi***, said Elizabeth angrily.

Suddenly Quinnie popped up from behind Elizabeth.

Hey what happened??? Sherry why are you crying??? Elie did you made her cry?????, said Quinnie.

That bi*** met Jack today and she lied to him that Sherry had many relationships in past and she is cheating on him.. I swear I’ll kill that bi*** and that as**** who believed that bi***, said Elizabeth with anger.

Hey Sherry, is that true????? I felt something is fishy when Barirah told me that she is going to meet Jack that’s why I told Elie… but I never thought that she could do something like this… I am sorry Sherry that you had to go through this, Quinnie said this with concerned tone and hugged her friend.

Quinnie you stay with Sherry.. I’ll deal with that bi*** myself and then I’ll deal with that bastard Jack.. Elizabeth said angrily.

Ohhh so he broke up with you Sherry???? , all of three girls shocked when they heard Barirah’s voice, she was coming towards them with bunch of girls.

Bi*** why you did this to Sherry???? Why you lied to Jack???? What is your problem??? We were friends, Elizabeth shouted angrily.

Friends??????? Ohhh yes we were friends…. But I never liked her since our childhood… everyone likes her. Why???? She is good at everything… Even Jack loved her too. Jack, whom I loved for so many years, he never saw me. Sherry was everything to him. Yes I did it. So what if I lied???? Jack is now mine Sherry… Now I am so happy that I’ve got what I always wanted. He is rich and handsome and you don’t deserve him MY DEAR FRIEND SHERRY…. Barirah laughed and left them in shock.

Sheryl was a girl belongs to a middle class family. An intelligent girl. She always wanted to study in best university of this country. Sheryl, Barirah, Elizabeth and Quinnie were together since middle school. Other three girls belongs to well settled families. Sheryl was most beautiful girl among four of them, long black hairs, deep black eyes with long lashes and fair skin. Her innocence and simple nature made her more beautiful. She was simple in every aspect. She had only these girls as friends.

She met with Jack at Barirah’s birthday party. His father was acquaintance with Barirah’s father. After that day he met her co incidentally many times. He asked her out and then both were in relationship. This was long distance relationship. Jack lived in City B while she lived in City K. He come frequently just to meet her. She was so happy that she finally found her soul mate. One thing she didn’t know was Barirah’s jealousy.

She never thought that her own friend will betray her and snatch Jack from her.

In a cafeteria of University X.

Hey Sherry it’s been a week please cheer up. He didn’t deserve you… Why are you so eager to destroy your health after him????? Eat this sandwich idiot. I made this just for you. Quinnie gave her a lunch box.

Do you know yesterday night Barirah has left the city???? Asked Elizabeth

No. After that day I didn’t talk to her. But I heard that she is transferring to another university, said Quinnie.

She is transferred to Jack’s university and next week they are getting engaged. She called me yesterday when she was leaving for airport. Sheryl said in low voice.

That’s great… both scumbags deserve each other. One a liar and other one is as***. Said Elizabeth

Elie control your language.. If your brother hear this you will be grounded again. Quinnie warned Elizabeth

Okay fine I am not saying anything……

RING RING RING…..

Hey hurry up… class is going to start… said Elizabeth hurriedly

My class will end late today so don’t wait for me after your class, Quinnie said and left

Sherry and Elizabeth went to their class. They both were in same department, their major was finance while Quinnie's major was fashion designing. After class both girls decided to go to library as their exams were coming.

In library, they both started working on their assignment. Someone called Sherry, it was their classmate Mutahar.

Hey Sheryl and Elizabeth… how are you???? What are you two doing????? He asked

We are working on our assignment, Sheryl answered in low voice.

Ohh that’s great…. Actually I needed your help. You know I am not good at economics and this assignment is killing me. Can you please help me???? I need to pass this course and you are the smartest student of our class, please help this poor guy. He said non-stop with an innocent face.

Okay I will help you. In what topic you need my help? Sheryl asked to Mutahar

Actually I need help in the entire course…. He said with a mischievous smile

Mutahar you are the dumbest in our class… If you are that bad then why you took this subject?????? Elizabeth asked

Ohh that is the biggest problem. My father wants me to run his company after completion of my studies so he forced me to take this course. It was not my choice. He said with a sad face

It’s alright I’ll help you. Don’t worry you will pass this course with good marks if you work hard. Sheryl consoled him.

She thought something then said you can come daily to library after class. I’ll help you in your studies.

Elizabeth said hey Sherry lets go. Quinnie’s class has ended early. She is waiting in cafeteria.

Both of them left library.

From next day, Sheryl daily helped Mutahar in his studies. Mutahar seemed nice guy. He was the only son of his parents. His father was a renown businessman.

After one month they had their exams. After last paper everyone was so excited. Hey Elie what are you planning for two months vacations???? Sheryl asked Elizabeth

I am thinking to visit my grandparents in country F. What about you??? Elizabeth told sherry about her plans

I’ll take extra courses in these vacations… She told her excitedly

Wow you too????? Mutahar popped up from behind Sheryl

What do you mean????? Elizabeth asked with curiosity

Actually I am planning to take extra courses in these vacations to overcome my weaknesses in my studies. You know I am not a good student. He told them

Ohh I am also taking extra courses. Sheryl told him

Good I’ll not be bored then, he said and laughed

Let’s go Quinnie is waiting downstairs. We all are going to that new restaurant I was talking about. It’s my treat. Elizabeth announced and dragged both of them.

In restaurant all of them were chatting…..

Hey are you girls ever been in any relationship????? Asked Mutahar to all of three girls

I am a single bee boss…. Said Elizabeth with laugh

Yeah, her brother is super devil… he will kill both her and her boyfriend… said Sheryl and all of them laughed out

What about you Sheryl????? Mutahar asked to Sheryl

Ohh she was in a relationship but that damn ***** preferred a bi** over her.. Its good that bastard left otherwise I would have killed him… Elizabeth said in anger

Elie please I don’t want to talk about this, sherl said in low voice with tears in her eyes

Mutahar heard Sheryl and suddenly asked to Quinnie

What about you Quinnie????

Ohh I am already engaged. Said Quinnie calmly

Ohh that’s great… Elizabeth interrupted and asked him What about you mister????

Ohh I am a single man of course… Mutahar said

Well it’s getting late we should go home, Quinnie said

Okay then let’s go what are you waiting for? Driver has arrived already. What about you Mutahar??? Elizabeth told both girls to go while asking Mutahar

Well, I’ll take cab. Mutahar said.

After reaching home, Sherry directly went to her room and locked the door. After that horrible day when Jack broke up with her, she tried not to cry but today she lost her control over her emotions. She felt very empty. She asked to herself why this all happened to her. What she had did that brought this pain to her.

She was thinking when her elder sister Rose came and knocked on door.

Sherry what are you doing??? Everyone is waiting for you at dining table. Said Rose

Okay I am coming in a minute. Sheryl hurriedly washed her face and try to make her expressions normal. She opened the door and went downstairs in dining hall where everyone was waiting for her. Her both younger brothers were talking about their school while her father was talking about his day in office to her mother.

Dear what happened??? Why you directly went to your room after coming home???? Are you tired from exams???? Her mother asked

Mom she has already refreshed her mind by going out with her friends. I am sure she enjoyed a lot. By the way sis I’ve got a new book would you like to read???? You are now free from your exams. Said her brother Shawn.

Sure sweetie, I would definitely read that book. Sheryl said with a smile

Hey sis we bought a new video game, would you like to play with us after dinner? Her other brother Abraham asked

No Abraham, I have something to do after dinner. You two play, I’ll play with you guys some other day. Sheryl refused to his brother

Sherry how many extra courses you are intending to take? Her Father asked

Dad, I am planning to take 3 courses. These are related to computer and will be very helpful for me in future. She told her plans to her Dad

Good, I am proud of you. Boys learn something from your sister. Her Dad said, her mother and sister laughed

After dinner, she helped her sister in cleaning kitchen.

Sherry I know you were crying when I came to call you for dinner and I know why were you crying. Please stop torturing yourself. Move on. You are young. There is a bright future waiting for you. Stop thinking about him. He is not worthy. Her sister put her hand on her shoulder and continue saying, look Sherry we can’t stop anyone from going just like we can’t stop anyone from coming in our lives. Those who want to go let them go dear. They are not yours.

I know Rose. I’ll try my best to forget him. She said with a smile

Good. That’s my brave sister. Okay now go to bed, I have to go early tomorrow. Good night dear. Rose hugged her and went to her room.
