Chapter 26
I and Lacy were utterly worried. Two exams in one day not a matter of joke. First was mechanical workshop. Second after a 1hour break physics laboratory exam.
First exam.A lottery took place on what job are we going to work. I was really lucky to get welding. I was praying to G.o.d not to get carpentery or fitting otherwise it would become unfitting.
Sky couldn't escape carpentry. He was greatly doing his work. Even sweating while focusing all on that piece of wood to create something special. I had a lot of time left so I was gazing at him. His serious handsome look was forcing me to look at him. Every day I go to college with the resolve that I won't doze off or zone out but end up staying with him.
Suddenly he looked at me.
He asked in a soft voice, " Completed"
I said, "Yep. Your one is really tiring. "
He replied, " Yeah it's actually drained out my energy. "
I said, " Sit down and start writing the job report for the time being. After 2 minutes you resume. "
He replied, " Great Idea, BTW what do we need to write. "
I told him the headlines.
Actually he was too much engrossed in his job that he almost didn't follow what sir had told to write in the job report.
Lacy from afar was signalling me that she was bored. She too got welding after all. Gray was behind me seeing Sky started asking me what to write what not to write. I showed him because he got welding to. Sky at side was asking me if his report was all correct with the headlines or not. Seeing these two, Sh.e.l.ly started to laugh. She got welding. She told me to show the drawing if all her labellings were correct or not. Finally I was wondering what kind of exam we were giving.
Finally time
We had 1 hour break. During the break we were all studying. I was looking here and there but couldn't find him.
After 35 minutes he came. By that time I was engrossed in studying. He came and glanced through what I was reading while sitting. I only realised when I saw the retreating steps. I went and asked him regarding the prism. He clearly stated I will not perform it's d.a.m.n frustrating. I too nodded. Then he started reading from my practical notebook. I didn't even notice when but seeing him I didn't go back to Lacy. I stood beside him letting him to read and myself to read as well.
Then we went to physics lab. We had to stand according to our roll nos. before entering the room. Beside our lab was the chemistry lab where other department members came to give their exams. All of a sudden Haruto went to peek at that cla.s.s. May be his friend was there.
But Sky made a joke out of it.
He said, "Look, He is looking for some beautiful elder sister to be his girlfriend. "
I started to laugh. His sense of humour was seriously admirable added to his tone.
I said, " They are first year batch like us. Other department. "
He said, " Oh! Then let me go and have a look. "
I subconsciously said, " You stay here. You don't have to go. "
I then controlled and said, " Soon our roll nos. will be called. No need of further jokes. "
He replied, " Look! Your Hubby"
I was a bit stunned then I took a look. I saw a short heighted student walking across the corridor where we were standing. I understood his intentional using of that word. I was short heighted so he often made fun of me. Now when I think about it instead of getting mad at him I should have replied, " I curse you that You will definitely marry a girl as short-heighted as me. "
Then our call came. This time my luck didn't favor much. I got a standard experiment on finding coefficient of viscosity using poiseulli's capillary flow method. Sky got Newton's ring.
I was scribbling and writing with full dedication. Soon I had completed writing my paper. But I stayed back for the viva only to stay beside him.
We gave our viva together. We were happy while we got out together. I met Lacy who left the Hall earlier and Stephen on the way when Lacy told me to go to Physics sir regarding sign up. Sky was walking with me. We both again entered the college. Lacy took the transport and headed towards the station. Sky was telling me to race against him to reach the room. I refused. I clearly know that his longer legs will make him win and I a shorty and plump was no match. I started to walk faster. He was walking smoothly matching my steps. He told me, " What's needed to walk forcibly."
I clearly understood his reason. He was mocking at my short legs. I became mad..
He was laughing and telling, " Okay, I won't tease you"
"Look we reached." And he opened the door.
For once I thought he became a gentleman but when he said, " I won. I'm first. " I really understood that I had high expectations of him.
I said, " I didn't agree to your challenge anyways"
With my usual cold tone.
Then we signed up for our marksheet. After signing up we walked together. By now Lacy, Stephen and the group reached the station. He was asking me how much does it cost to reach the station alone. I said it. He said that really it really costs much if you ride alone. Better to wait for the transport to fill up.
I nodded.
I was wondering when did he start thinking about my transport route. But it made me happy. Because at least friends.h.i.+p is a good start. But still timing is a great factor. His father came to pick him up. I bade him good bye obviously not in front of his dad. And took the transport to reach the station and meet Lacy and her group.
