I did not know why he called me. He seemed guilty. I did as I told aunty. My mom passed me my phone. I texted him.
*Say?
*why didn't you explain?
*Would you believe?
*You should have!
*No use!
*Why?
*You didn't show slight hint of trust....... Then no use of explaining.
*......
*Be thankful! I helped you get a date.
*.......
*?
*Offline.
He this idiot fellow did not even apologize. Such arrogance.The school no more gossiped but Aurora could not control showing off.
'Hey Luke! 'She flung straight beside him holding his arm.
(They are perfect!
Heavens I am so envious of Aurora.
He is handsome.
I hope I could also date Luke.)
I wanted to stuff my ears with charcoal. Fortunately it was sports period. Everyone went to change into tracks. I put on the white t-shirt and the black tracks. I re tied my hair into a ponytail. It was quite warm so I decided to tie the jacket around the waist. I was known for my sports skill. Some said as expected from a tomboy. I and Sarah walked to the ground. Sarah took a long time she had her periods.We reached late everyone were already assembled and busily chatting. Luke was again the center of attention. He had the buttons of the t shirt open and looked unexpectedly lean tall and handsome. My self pride protected me from eye googling him.
'We have Throw ball match assemble! '
'Yes sir! 'Everyone chorused.
The teams were distributed. I and Sarah were together and few girls and boys. Luke John (his closest buddy) and Davis were together and Aurora and some girls.
Two courts were there. And four teams were divided. Even the neighboring class was attending with us. They were the Section B.
Boys occupied the basketball court neighboring to ours court.
'Let's start! 'The boy in our team gestured.
The game began. I used physical method to restrain my brain. It worked for me. The game continued with them in the lead. I threw the ball in reflex behavior. It flew towards Rale(Aurora's buddy). But Aurora stood in front and fell down.
'ahh.... Why are you so rude Jane? If I hadn't blocked you would have ruined Rale's face.'
'I thought she was a player!'
'I know you hate me..... '
'Shut up Aurora no one asked you to block the ball!'Luke snapped.
Ah out of guilt he is acting up?Haizzz is it really worth? We continued a little and decided to do other things. Some chose to play and some chose to watch the basketball match. I and Sarah walked around the basketball match when suddenly.......... whizzzzz something flew towards my head. I was too late to turn but something caught me by my waist. It was a guy from class B. He had caught me by my waist and snapped the ball. Wait.... it's like in a Hollywood drama. His hands were tightly gripped around my waist. My hands on his chest. I looked upto see his face. He was the new guy I guess. He wore a band and was way too cute with elegant look. He looked even girlish than me. Sarah was staring at us with some mischievous look. I pushed him and he let me go.
'Thanks but I would have dodged.'
'I don't think! 'He said in a sweet voice.
'eh? Haha nice head band. '
'pfft. '
I and sarah left. But why did I feel something off?We went to the class and I slumped on Sarah's shoulder. Really sometimes studying feels like climbing Everest. As we chatted mam entered the class.
We stood up to greet her.
'Good evening mam! 'Everyone chorused in a sung song way.
She took the class and the whole day was quite burdensome with much to study. I went to house on cycle. I did not drop Sarah but Davis insisted on coming to drop me.He was like a dad of same age! I invited him in. As we walked on the lawn Luke was in the door.
'eh? '
He ignored me.
Davis followed me.
'Some people tend to stick to men! 'Luke snapped.
'Davis? Did you say something? '
'uh huh me? No that..... 'Davis stammered.
Was Luke jealous? No that isn't possible.
The misunderstanding never cleared. We had a cold War. He seemed to hate me more and more and my feelings were becoming stiff. The more I tried to ignore and fight with him the more I was addicted to him.
The new guy was Jake Lin. He kept coming to our class often. He came from a rich family like the others. He actively started reasons to find me. I found him irritating but his continuous following helped me coax the reason to think about Luke.
Everything remained the same after two years we left school going in our own ways. I still remember the uneasy seperation on the last day. Luke went abroad for further studies. His whole family moved with him. He did not even wait for a gathering of the classmates. We seperated in our teens. I and Sarah were still together. We both chose medical as our major. Davis was enrolled in engineering college. We three still were close. The whole one year after Luke left I was too depressed for anything.He left peacefully after giving me a cold stare. I believed time would cure it. I consoled it was my stupid teenage stuff. I left these memories behind and focused on my studies. I gained the favor of my professor. He made me his personal assistant.My major biased on research on medical medicines. Professor was old man like Dumbledore.His hair was all white. He was a well known person in his field. It was often difficult to get along with him. But Professor Charles and I got along well. I still was as rough as ever. He often commented, 'You'r fit to run errands for me! '
I wanted to intern with professor Charles in his Research center where he worked.
He was famous enough to be interviewed in Tv. I was shocked how he found interest in me.
Time flew fast, it's been 5 years and I am already 23.Along with my course I worked with professor. Sarah had already started to work as an assistant doctor in a hospital. Davis is a manager In an IT company.
