This was it. The moment of truth. I slide my fingers towards the block, gently tapping it. One more tap and I could be crowned as Jenga Champion. With a push it comes crumbling down before my eyes.
"Yaya! I told you I would win!I told you Drish!!!!" Kritika yells coming over and tackling me in a sisterly playful way
"stop!!! One more round and I'll prove who is the winner " I demand
"Nope. Can't do! I am the winner, and you are the loser Drish" She states putting her hands on her hips
"Says you. Gross" I chuckle getting up from the ground
"This was the deciding round, and I have won" She says
She is faithfully right. We have been playing Jenga once a day everyday of the holidays, and today being the last day of holiday, we decided that whoever wins will be crowned as the ultimate winner.
"Sucks that school is gonna be starting " Kritika sighs
"You mean college" I correct organizing my bag
"Ugh. Even better" Kritika sighs
Unlike me, Kritika dreaded school. She was more of the shy type, and being in a public school with over 4,000 wasn't her cup of tea.
Luckily for her, College was even bigger
"You know it won't be that bad" I assure her
"Why did you have to choose Business and Commerce? Could've gone into Teaching with me" Kartika complains
Kritika has been disapproving my career choice ever since I told her. She wants me to go into teaching with her, after all that's what my parents did.
The thing is, Kartika and I have been together ever since birth.
Having only a few months different in age, ever since elementary school we have been together. Through thick and thin we have been together. We know each other deepest secrets and all our embarrassing moments. We are inseparable.
We are sisters, well not exactly sisters.
More like cousins? Or far distance relatives
My mum never got into detail about how she was related to Aunt Keerthi. She said they were long distance cousins, who then turned into besties.
That doesn't matter though. Aunt Keerthi and Kartika are family. They have been living with us ever since I was a baby. There is no denial that Kritika and I are sisters, atleast in heart
"Atleast Dani will be there at college" Kritika says
Dani was Kritika and my childhood crush ever since we were 9. Dani was the perfect american hottie, surprised disney channel hadnt gotten him in a show.
"FYI Dani is mine" I say nudging her
"As if! He chose my department, that means I get him" Kritika laughs
"That's unfair ! " I state throwing a cushion on her
"He is mine blablablabla" Kritika laughs blocking her ears
" You can't just hog the best guy at college you know that's unfair " I say tapping her arm
"You can keep,ugh...Tubb" Kritika laughs
"Ew no way, you have him"I say in disgust
Tubb is one of the only Indian kids who went to our high school, and had a massive crush on Kritika ever since he met her in 9th grade.
