“Krist! What is taking you so long?” I grumbled, staring at the washroom door. “Just a second,” the reply came from behind the door. “I wonder what you are doing there. You were the type of person who would never delay,” I complained after having to wait for so long, but all I got was a long silence. Another couple of minutes passed by with no sign of Kristen, which pissed me off. Fed up, I got on my feet before grabbing my bag, and preparing to leave. I shouted out loud, “Krist, I am off. Come when you are done,” and without hearing her out, I made my way out. Overcoming the slight pain in my ankle, I made it through the front door and successfully reached the gate. But as soon as I got to the road, I was greeted by Tarry standing before his gate. “Hey! Prisha!” he called out, waving at me. “Hey!” I replied, wondering where he might be heading with his bag. “Where is Kristen?” he asked, glancing at her house. “She is at her house,” I replied and bit my lips. Making his way t
After spending the whole afternoon laughing and chattering, Kristen and Tarry left, taking all the charm of my room along with them. The group studies which we were intended to do were lost between our fun but none of us cared about it.When I was left all alone in my room, I leaned on my hands and surveyed my room. Then suddenly I caught sight of the paper bag placed on my nightstand. Reaching out for it, I peeked inside the bag before a big smile appeared on my face.I must admit that Aster was reflecting on his mistake without any miss by taking full care of me. As promised, he had sent me the medicine along with a bar of chocolate.Giving damn care about the medicine, I shoved my hand inside the bag and grabbed the chocolate which was already flooding my mouth with saliva.Then tossing the bag aside, I ripped the packet. Feeling bliss about taking each bite, I kept on eating the chocolate as if there was no promise tomorrow.‘I am sorry,
“Prisha!” Mom's sudden call dragged me back to where I was lying and I couldn’t help getting more panicked.The door to my room was flung wide open and I was numb on the bed, watching her breaking in.“What is wrong, love? Why were you screaming?” she inquired and I hastily darted at Aster, who was above me.But to my surprise, there was no sign of him. ‘Where did he go?’ I mused, pulling myself up and looking around.“Honey, I am talking to you.” Mom moved closer to me.“I…” gulping hard, I tried to find a possible reason to tell her.Getting more alert, she began to move around. “Why are you not saying anything? Tell me what it is?”“There… There was a cockroach,” I stammered, scratching the corner of my forehead.“HONEY!” She rolled her eyes, probably in disappointment.Wrapping my hand around her, I mumbled, “I am sorry to scare you, mom. You know how scared I am of cockroaches.”Shaking her head right to left, she rumbled, “And you scare the hell out of me.”“I am sorry. Now you
“I think we must seek help, Kristen. Walking around this corridor won’t seem to help us in any way,” I ventured when Kristen my best friend and I were not able to discover our classroom.“You know what? I am also thinking the same,” Kristen agreed in no time."There you go and ask..." I shoved her towards the group of boys standing near the window."What no way...? I am not going. Prisha, you are an expert in socializing with people you go..." she stepped behind me and started to push me."Fine, let's go together..." I gripped her wrist and tried to drag her with me.
“Because he never falls for one who falls for him. So, you just can drool on his handsomeness and dream about him,” she replied, knitting her eyebrows. Seeing her attitude deep inside I had a feeling that we for sure are not going to have a good bond in the upcoming days.“Really? And who are you to say that?”Hearing Kristen’s tone I was sure she was going to get herself in trouble on the first day.“Hey, you don’t wanna attend the class,” suddenly Sam looked downstairs and called us out.“Let’s go.” I pulled Kristen’s wrist.
“Honey is that you?” Mom called out from the kitchen, as soon as I entered the house.“Yes, mom I am home,” I replied, hiking the stairs with my heavy feet.“Why are you home so early, honey?” Mom started her interrogation.“Class ended early, mom,” I gave a short reply.“Oh! Okay then freshen up and come here I am preparing lunch. Can’t wait to hear your story.” I was sensing the excitement in her tone.I always had the habit of sharing my new experience with my
I panicked and squatted in front of her. “Kristen, open your eyes. Kristen, wake up…” I called her out patting her cheeks but she was not opening her eyes nor was giving any response.I reached out for the water bottle on my bag and poured some water on my hand, and then I splashed it on her face. “KRISTEN.”Finally, she opened her eyes wide and stared at me for a while before asking, “Where am I? Who are you?”“Thank god, Kristen, you are alright,” I mumbled, feeling revealed, and pulled her in my arms.
“Will you please decrease your pace? Why the hell are you walking like you are going to miss a train? We are already in school, remember?” Kirsten roared at me running behind me.She had no idea I was so desperate to see those green eyes. So I just smiled and kept on marching without coming to a halt.“Prisha…” All of a sudden I heard Aster calling me only then I was forced to stop.“God, finally!” Kristen sighed heavily.“Good morning,” I greeted soon after turning to him.
