Mars was again looking at the mirror not understanding what should he do about the situation with Michael. He did not like being around many people on top of that all of them were boys, but somewhere in his heart he wanted to accept this friendship, he really felt like giving a try to be close to at least one person. He wanted to feel this thing called friendship which was totally new to him.
The only person ever who was like this in his life was his mother, who was no more in this world. 'Can I try accepting these men around me. Can they be any different than those foul men.'
Mars was deep into his traces of thoughts but it discontinued by a knock on the door and he got more annoyed. "If it's Michael I am going to knock him out." he said walking towards the door.
But to Mars's surprise that particular Blonde guy of the Swimming Club was there and that too with his luggage. "Uhhhhh..... what are you doing here?" Mars asked frowning his eyebrows and staring at him from top to bottom just as he did in the class.
"We are going to be roommates from now on..." Blondie was cut off by a roaring "WHAT", which left Mars mouth. Mars's calmness was not something to stay forever, would it?
"Let me complete my sentence, roommates for four to five weeks, as our dorm building has water leakage and it would probably take time to deal with all the stuff and renovation there." Blondie said not giving Mars any chance to intervene again within his words.
"But... but my father has spoken to Principal about me living alone, Due to some personal problem I can't share this room with you or anyone else." Mars said not wanting Blondie to step into his territory.
"Neither do I live with someone else, but it's an emergency and we can't do anything about that, be grateful that it's only the two of us or else others have to adjust four students in one room." Blondie said impatiently, wanting to get rid of the heavy luggage.
"I don't care about others, I won't let you in no matter what and I will personally talk to Principa about thisl." Mars did not want to include his father's old dude into his business but now he had to. He can't let someone invade his privacy and be with him 24/7 when there was something, something which he needed to hide from every single one here.
The handsome Blondie frowned his short eyebrows and the skin of his pretty round head got folds at the fact that this new guy wanted to contact the principal. He himself would not dare to go to him for matters like these. Even though, he was considered to be the favorite of almost every teacher including the principal. He thought maybe Mars belonged to some family of athletes, because it could be the only reason this school would give credit or importance to you.
"Okay as you wish, let's go together but at least let me put my luggage inside, I can't keep carrying them everywhere." Blondie agreed thinking that the principal would not be unjust towards him.
...
Mars and Blondie were standing outside the office and went in when the principal allowed them. "Ah, my two special students want to meet me at the same time."
Mars was annoyed that how can he be cheerfully asking such a question at a time like this when the disaster was on his throat but he was also suppressing his outburst. "Sir, my father clearly asked for a separate room for me but now he came to me and said that we are going to be roommates, I cannot allow that and you surely know the reason behind it." Mars said without taking a breath in between his words.
The principal did not show but he was sure in a distress after what Mars said. "Mars, listen my child. No one knows better than me about it but we don't have any choice, we can't put more than four of our students in a room. They are all athletes, they need rest and comfort in their dorms and neither we can allow them to stay outside. Rooms are already compacted, you are lucky enough that he was the only one left and if there were more students you would really have to adjust with them." the principal was trying to make Mars understand the situation. Although he was the superior of the school but the place where Mars belonged, he was nothing in front of it.
Mars looked troubled and sighed in frustration. "I am really sorry about this but I assure you that Noah is a well-mannered child, he would never disturb you. You would not feel any pressure due to his presence." Looking at Mars’s expressions, principal praised Noah, the Blondie but Mars was sure that it's was notgoing to be easy for him to stay with someone, hiding something that is not meant to be revealed to anyone in this school.
Noah was just looking at them one by one feeling that this Mars was surely someone important or else why would the principal even try to reason with him. He has the authority and he need not to explain anything to any student about such a matter.
"Ok, I agree with him staying in my room but if anything happens, he is out and then you should not complain about it." Mars said at which Noah was again surprised and one could clearly see it in his eyes. No one in the school dared to talk to the principal in that tone, not even the most famous coaches and to him Mars sure seemed something else, someone special and it just made his suspicious about him resembling to someone he knew clearer.
And then Mars left the room without even greeting the principal, leaving Noah with a hanging jaw yet again.
"Noah." the principal called him."Yes sir." He politely replied, shrugging of his bewilderedness because of Mars’s behavior."Please bear with me, it's just a matter of time." the principal smiled at him."I can understand, no need for an explanation." he gave a polite smile and greeted him goodbye before leaving his office....
Although Mars was bothered by Michael's big mouth but he did not want to be rude to Michael anymore. Michael had been nothing but kind towards him except for the first day when the situation was complicated.Drake, who claimed to be the number one boxer never interacted with Mars again so as to be safe from any more humiliation. But still, he was not someone who will stay quiet for a long time. He will surely do something to get back for the humiliation he had to face. His coach of the boxing club had degraded him too much. One chance and he would take the proper advantage of the situation.It had been two weeks since Mars's arrival in the school, noth
It was a Sunday and Maria and Michael decided to study for their assignment."Solet's divide the assignment into three parts. I will do the anatomy stuff from Library and recent bigshots from newspapers, you do the work with history from the internet, because I suck at using it,and then finally we will both do the last part about the importance of sports according to basketball and shooting, doing our parts" Maria was making all the tasks clear to Michael."Ayeeeee... are you being nice to me by giving me less work than you because you were rude to me on your first day." he joked as always but she was not taking it and showed him her sharp
"Come on, you are acting like a girl right now, getting scolded by Mr. Stele is my regular task." he laughed just like always.Maria rolled her eyes at the fact that he said she was acting like a girl and turned her attention back to her food. "Ok, so at least tell me that you are going or not.""There's nothing to tell I am not going." she shrugged her shoulders."But why Mars... ok, don't give me that shit about minding your own business andIama reserved person or I don't like to make f
Noah was not as cheerful as Michael but his words sure had magic or was it just her who was experiencing all the new things in this new place. "Well about Michael, you might not have noticed but he is like that to everyone and about the contagious behavior I think it's just you exploring your own emotions, don't you think so." Noah said eyeing her suspiciously, making her self-conscious again."What nonsense are you spewing and why in the world are you talking like that all smiley and on top of that these are the longest sentence you have uttered since I came here." it was now Maria raising her eyebrows at him."What... is it illegal to smile or to tal
"Why." Maria asked nonchalantly, being rivals in the same team was nothing new to her, she knew this thing very well. "Taking interest in other's business, are we." Michael said teasing her and she just rolled her eyes at his statement, "Never mind." she focused on the pool in front again. "It's always been Noah to get the chances in these competitions, he has already won two gold and one bronze medals for the Youth Olympics. It's natural that they don't get along well. After Noah's victory, they never held celebrations, even their coach tries to keep them apart, he knows gathering them in one place for a thing like celebration can
Maria just chuckled lightly at Michael’s childish behavior and turned her attention back to the race.The race was at its endpoint but the events took a turn and at the very last moment Noah surpassed Jacob, it was more like they were at the same positions and soon they reached the finishing line touching the corners.Everybody was anxious as to what the result was because in the audience's eyes Noah and Jacob touched the wall at the same time but the winner could be one and that would be decided by their scores.
"You see Michael, the son of a noble family is not only bad at swimming but he also has this foul attitude that his father wanted to send him to the military so that he would learn some basic manners and stop causing troubles at the name of his family but that looser was rejected to even enter the military." Maria said eyeing Jacob."You are going overbroad." Jacob said, fuming with anger."If you think of this 50-meter race as a petty competition and act childishly after losing then your father was really doing something good and if you did not stop being childish then I am afraid that this news your family has never let out could destroy your fake im
