Chapter 4 Four

"I'm sorry, but I don't know any Dianna." It feels as though someone made a splash of ice water on my face. Honestly, this is really embarrassing! On the other hand, I can't be wrong, with those eyes, I also can't be incorrect. What could possibly have place in her life during the time that we were separated from one another? Oh my goodness! Maybe she suffers from amnesia, which would explain why she is unable to recall me. That's it, that's it! Most likely, this is the reason for the situation.

"Did you by chance get into an accident, and now you have amnesia?" I inquired about it. I waited for her to respond while her forehead made a frowning expression. Moreover, as soon as she opened her mouth, she erupted in fits of laughter.

She is laughing as if I had just told her a tremendously great joke. "HAHAHAHAHA," she says.

"Do you have any sense? A horrified expression appeared on her face as she continued, "Patricia, there is something wrong with your friend."

Then again, you are Hilary! It is important to remember that we used to have fun at the central park and the royal court, which is owned by the King! I was adamant that she would alter her facial expression. Suddenly, she stops laughing, and her expression changes to one of seriousness.

"And remember you and I used to..." It is my desire to share with her all of the activities that we participated in when we were younger, however, Patricia interrupted me by grasping both of my shoulders.

"Dian be still! Please don't call her Hilary, all right? Dian, there are thousands of people that are named Hilary in our globe. Her eyes were attempting to quiet me down.

"But Pat, I can't be wrong."

"It's enough, Dianna! Tiff jumped in this time, saying, "You are making Hilary feel uncomfortable." I looked back at Hilary, and her face was completely expressionless. I suppose I'm completely off base.

She said, "Weird," while rolling her eyes at me and rolled her eyes.

I only spoke the word "sorry" and then let out a sigh.

"Anyways, we should get something to eat now, I still have class at 1pm." The subject was disregarded by Patricia.

I'll go grab your supper, Hilary, so you just stay here. Dian, I want you to come with me because I don't want to waste my money on this cotton candy," she says with a sneer. In order to prevent Tiff from grabbing Patricia's hair and making a scene, I rose up and got Patricia to come to the counter.

"Dian, I am aware of how sad you are, but you must put your friend out of your mind. On top of that, the two of you were far too young at the time, even if you were to run into one other again, do you believe that she would be able to recall you with such ease? Why is it that Patricia absolutely must be correct each and every time?

It is true. Apologies for the way I have behaved. I...I am unable to confront your cousin at this time." Even though I was still feeling ashamed, I looked down. The only thing I do is nod my head and tell Patricia that everything is great. Patricia uses her thumb to grab my chin and lift my head.

"However, I can assure you that Hilary is a good person. Let's put this behind us and go on to the next step, shall we?

"Yeah"

The tray with the food was being held by us. On the other hand, Patricia is holding Tiff and Hilary's lunch, while mine includes Tiff and I's meal. When we arrived at the table, we arranged the food on it. I moved over to Patricia and sat down in my chair. It seemed as though I could erase the shame in a second, but when I realized that I was seated across from her, I believe it increased by a factor of two. During the time that I was eating, I simply settled my head down.

I am at a loss for words, so I choose to remain mute and listen to Patricia and Tiff vent their frustrations with each other.

I opened my eyes and said, "Hey," as she poked my hand up.

"Y..yes?" I am currently stuttering. You are very kind, Dianna.

As she pointed to the two individuals who were arguing over a chicken wing, she asked, "Are they always like that?" She was gesturing to them with her head.

You ought to get used to it, that's for sure. I patted them and said, "Wait until this table moves." As soon as the table began to move, her expression of confusion disappeared. In the moment that Patricia and Tiff's feet were kicking each other, she finally understood what I was trying to convey to her. After looking at them, we chuckled nervously.

It never occurred to me that the slow-motion scenes that I saw on television actually occurred in real life. mostly due to the fact that all I could see at this moment was Hilary and her beautiful laugh. I beg you, what exactly is this sensation?

It's time to go, Dian! Exactly why are you smiling? Patricia snatched away from the exquisite moment I was contemplating. I took a look at all three of them, and I must say that they are all set to leave. Again, Hilary is grinning at you. What a sham! To conceal that embarrassing moment, I gathered my composure and picked up my luggage. What is the point of my acting like an idiot at times?

We went our separate ways. The fact that Patricia and Tiff are classmates is the reason why they stroll together. Can you tell me the odds? In addition, Hilary is expected to visit the dean's office in order to complete her papers. Although I made the offer to accompany her, she denied it because she is aware that I have a commitment to attend to. Where did she get that information from?

It is my intention to make my way to the Ladies Badminton Club. In addition to dancing, badminton has been my go-to activity for relieving stress. After recalling what had place before, I believe it is necessary for me to release some big hits.

A knock was heard before the door was opened, and upon opening it, I noticed Madeline retrieving some shuttlecocks from the cupboard.

"Hey, Dianna, you happen to be here. "Are you going to class?" She inquired as she was getting her luggage ready. At this very moment, she is already dressed in her most beloved adidas shirt, shorts, and sneakers.

"My class for this day is done, are you going to play?" I inquired of her.

Excellent. To be more precise, I am currently preparing for the newcomers. Have you forgotten that today is the first day of the audition? When I realized that I had completely forgotten about the tryouts, I let out a facepalm.

It appears that you did not remember it. Please don't worry about it, today is not on your agenda, therefore it's fine. Why I had forgotten about it is now clear to me. I was able to organize all of my schedules on my calendar, and I recalled that my timetable is scheduled for the following week. On a weekly basis, we were conducting tryouts.

From where I am seated on the couch, I watch her get her stuff ready. Since I have nothing to do right now, perhaps I could just sit here and watch. They were going to utilize the court, therefore I am unable to participate in the game.

I told her, "I'll go with you, Madz, I want to watch," and she agreed with me. Her phone then begins to ring.

What's up? Is that correct? "Alright, I get it," she said as she hung up the phone with a worried expression on her face.

Are you able to take Stacy's place, Lis? Unfortunately, she is unable to make it today. When you say "please," it seems as though the heavens are listening to you.

I assured her, "Of course, I wanted to play in the first place," and she smiled, feeling comforted. "It was my intention to play."

"You're a Savior!" Have a change of clothes, and I'll meet you at the courthouse. First, I need to make an assessment of them. Before I walk to the restroom and change, I give a slight nod and then go and pick up some additional uniforms.
