Chapter 6
I was waiting for Lacy at the station when I heard from Stephen, another member of our train journey reading in the same college, that she is ill.I was extremely unhappy as I was not expecting that. I called her up. At first, her mom picked up the phone. She said:h.e.l.lo, Lacy is very ill.She won't be going to college for today.
I said: It's okay aunt. Take care of yourself and her. And tell her to call me up when she is better.
Aunt replied: Sure, don't worry and enjoy at college.
I replied: Without her it's a bit difficult.
Aunt replied: I know,you both are real sweet hearts after all. But go on or you will fail to catch the train.
I replied: Sure Aunty, take care..
Then I got weibo messages from brother Henry.
He was too anxious about her.
He asked: What happened to Lacy? Why didn't she contact me from the morning?
I replied: She is really ill and couldn't come over to college.
He asked: Is it very serious? Is she really that ill?
I poured a teaspoon of oil..
I replied: Yes, brother she is really very ill. She cannot
He replied: Oookk, I see. I will contact her..
With a wicked smile within, I replied: Yes, brother contact her to make her feel better. Bye.
He replied: Yeah, bye.
I could imagine Lacy's reaction on learning about my oil spilling regarding the matter I cannot wait what is gonna follow..
I went to college feeling LONELY...
I sat beside Ellie,another good friend of mine. We studied, exchanged notes, and she was talking about the vacation. Just then I remembered about Sky. I wanted to ask him regarding the vacations.
We could finally speak in the Break time. And finally I didn't feel that lonely. He said that he had spent his time with books, novels, music and film and obviously the a.s.signments...
Then Ellie and Sh.e.l.ly joined in the conversation.
We were chatting regarding various matters, when suddenly the topic drifted to me about the p.r.o.noucation of my name. I don't know why Maths teacher calls me by Sun-net instead of Sonnet? But they continued to exaggerate the name, specially,Sky. Finally when I exclaimed: Oh G.o.d! My name is Sonnet. He too shouted back: Why are you torturing G.o.d. Instead say Oh Sh*t! My name is Sonnet.
I don't know what I had done to them that they are taking revenge on my name. And that term itself reeks.I finally replied: I can never expect some Kind and concerned words from you for me.
And that time my mind replied back:Oh s**t, slip of tongue...
I further mended it: I mean you are really rude.
He replied in a sarcastic manner: See, I really made you say that word in your mind...
I started to blush. But controlled
I was like did I think that loud to be heard or Did he predict that beforehand.
Whatever it might be I kept quiet.
Finally the last cla.s.s,which was a practical cla.s.s. Where his mind was bubbling with energy with thoughts to provoke me or to irritate me.
He was always like that but first time it was with me. His accusations needs effort of various trainings to fight back.
Finally in the last cla.s.s we were United. As Ellie supposed to have supported me. But in the end she shortened the name further to Soni.
And I was like what the Heck!!
Finally the ridiculous cla.s.s got over. I will not forgive Sky at how he tricked me so easily...
I will remember it. And will learn to fight back staying with him...
It's a real duel for sure...
And I will surpa.s.s him to surprise him.
