Wait... I guess I am drunk without actually being drunk that's why I an having these thoughts. I am really dumb, aren't I?
Inner me: No, you're the smartest person I know.
I know, right?
Woah! I am drunk. I am talking to myself. Good Night.
The next day, it was quite pleasant and a fresh start sounded good. I ate breakfast, took my bag and waved goodbye to my parents and tagged along with my sister and after reached school we parted ways. Felt like I was back to my normal, boring life from now on.
I kept walking along and entered the class when suddenly, someone threw pencil shavings on my head, someone could be nobody other than Alec. I got furious, so I took out my water bottle and poured all of its water on him.
While the whole class shouted, "Boo! That was an equal."
Looking at the mess we had made, I laughed. After seeing me laugh, he laughed too.
"Why are you laughing?", I asked.
"I could ask you the same thing.", he replied.
But we had to clean up the mess that we had made before anyone could report about this to the teachers. I was kind of a stick up for rules. We got back to our seats as our class teacher was about to come. I don't know why I was smiling. I looked at Alec and caught him already looking at me. The first period had started, but we were still laughing until the teacher came.
Later, during Chemistry, our teacher asked me to participate in an Interschool Exhibition with a three more team members on 'Various Methods of Generating Electricity'. She told me that she would tell me who all I would be working with by the end of the day.
When the bell rang, Mrs. Jones came to me and told me the not-so-shocking news.
"Penelope, Alec Ryder, Lara Smith and Huron Lynch would be your team members.", she said.
They all were exceptionally good at Science including Alec, so I can't say that he didn't deserve to participate in the exhibition. What is happening to me? I should object the idea of him working with me! But, what can I possibly do?
When I got back home, I called my mom and told her about the Exhibition taking place day after tomorrow which I had to attend. She told me that both my father and her would not be at home and her sister will be out at her tuitions, so I have to take my phone with me just in case I need anything. She told me that she would talk to my teacher about this. Well, that's pretty cool, right?
The day passed by very quickly. It was a warm evening while I was having supper after which I went back to my room to study. After studying, I went to bed without having dinner. I don't know what was happening to me. Why was I acting so weird? I had a perfect smile on my face and that's it and too for such no reason I know about. I just called it a day and went off to sleep.
Soon it was the day of the Exhibition. I woke up, got ready for school and as soon as I reached the gate, I saw Alec standing right there.
"Waiting for me?", I asked.
"Very funny. Well... Yes, I was waiting for you as our reporting time is 9:00 am and it's already 8:23 am!", he replied.
"Get a hold of yourself, you time freak."
"At least come up with good names for me. More like handsome freak or lovable freak."
"I don't care whether you are handsome or not, but you surely are a freak."
"Let's go, students", Mrs. Jones said.
All the others got there on time and we got into the bus as we headed towards St. Mary's School. While we were in the bus, I had a fun idea in my mind, so I took out my phone and used a girly filter and captured Alec in the picture. He gave me a glare as he got to know that I clicked his picture. He tried, but he couldn't snatch my phone from me. My Gallery had an App Lock so even if he would be able to take my phone away from me he wouldn't be able to get what he wanted.
__________________________________________
After the exhibition was over, we were getting bored, so we decided to go outside and also somehow, managed to escape the teacher's sight. We hung out in an empty classroom. All of us had a really fun time. It's true that friends make our life better. Son, it was time for us to go back to our school.
"I don't think I'll be able to come tomorrow.", I said on our way back to our school.
"Why?", Lara asked.
"I just don't feel like it.", I explained.
"It's not about your wish here, Penelope.", Alec commented.
"Well, it is because nobody can force me to be present in class.", I said
"I am not forcing you. It's just... just that...
I LIKE HAVING YOU AROUND A LOT... 😮😮
