Then the morning of the exam day was nothing special. I woke up on time but the exam would start at 2:05 p. m. But due to travel problems I, Lacy, Snow and all the others needed to board the train at 11:18 a. m.
We all reached the college almost 2 hours early. Our first half exam was English and the second half was remarkable, explicable-Chemistry.
For the first hour , Lacy and I studied chemistry. I went to see the bulletin board of our college. I only saw the CSE-1 exam centre Block A, 2nd floor. I felt like it was okay.After that we sat on the stairs.We both were focussed and continued to read the notes.
"Sonnet you are definitely prepared for everything?"
I got a sudden shock. I turned back and saw Sky in a half sitting pose bowing his upper half almost over me to read the notes from where I was studying.
"No! My Chemistry flops. English is okay. "
"Yeah, I told you. Our block is D right? "
I replied, "No.It's A block. "
"You come with me. Let me show you. "
I got up and went along with him.
He showed pointing his finger and showing me the phrase "Second Semester"
"Oh Shoot! I even messed up in searching the examination block. "
"That's because you are with Lacy. "
Lacy screamed, "Who said that? "
Sky replied, "Look at your favourite chemistry teacher. "
Lacy replied, "Ugh! Now my exam is surely ruined.Who told you to show me?"
And the drama continued.
I was watching the drama. I am and have always been a silent worker. Means I can understand many things but I pretend to be the most innocent one.
"Now, now we need to head to the fourth floor of the D block. Lacy came with me. "
"You will not take me with you? "
"Nope, You can walk on your own. "
After reaching the fourth floor my strength was completely drained. So many steps to reach. Lacy and I sat on the stairs as soon as we reached the fourth floor.
"Lesbian mode activated! ", Sky exclaims.
"I'm not the one. Lacy is the one lying on my shoulder. "
"Why are you all studying? "
Lacy started, "Listen, You just keep quiet. You will be a topper at the end so, don't pretend! "
"Tell that to the one beside you"
"She is not doing the drama like you at least. "
I was just laughing and following their conversation.
A senior lady with a sleeveless beautiful floral top and bright make up passed by just then.
Sky commented, "I need nothing but a beautiful senior girl, if not beautiful at least a girl to be seated in front of me to pass the time. "
I was green eyed with jealousy inside but laughing on the outside and remarked, "And by looking at her you would drool on your answer script and the exam would be nicely over. After that the topper's grade would remarkably drop and would again prepare for the re-exam. Oh there will be no re-exam in our college. Only your parents will be called.So nice right! "
"Well said Sonnet! "
Now Sky spoke, "But it would be best if Sonnet would sit in front of me. I would have no tension in writing the exam. "
"Yeah.I'm needed for exam purposes only. "
Since the conversation suddenly went to a serious tone I cut light by laughing and Lacy laughed too. Gray came in and Sky was asking him about his preparation. He came to me and asked how my preparation was. I replied, "For the first half it's still alright. "
"No, you will score full marks! "
"Sky , who told you to chip in? "
"My intelligent mind... "
Lacy started to complain, "It's better to get married than to suck up to these subjects! "
All of our eyes glowed.
I applauded, "Bravo! Please do it. I have been waiting to attend marriage parties to fill my stomach."
Sky with his pervy thoughts started, "Also don't marry a single person. Marry divorce and marry. Make this cycle your motto and we all won't be deprived of sumptuous food throughout the year. Also your life will be thrilled with new partners not to mention the night.. The moon...."
I chipped in, "Sky it's exam time keep your thoughts to yourself! "
"Why? You don't want food? We can have a great dinner and lunch for free and she can have her own experiences... "
I chipped in again, unable to control my blush at his direct hints. He was more motivated in teasing me than Lacy. And Lacy was saying, "One kick and you will fall from the stairs. "
"Only Sonnet knows how high my kick goes. "
Actually he had once aimed to show how high his kick was, which was actually above Lacy's height. Such a tall guy indeed.
I laughed at his hint. A warning bell rang. We all started to go through the notes. Sky was leaning over to read my notes and I couldn't be embarrassed enough.
Finally we all entered the exam hall. Luckily Sky didn't get the luck to sit behind a female senior. I sat on the first row of the second bench. In front of me one senior and behind me another senior brother. And behind that sat my Prince Charming or Prince Naughty which one shall I consider!
Lacy sat diagonally to Sky. She got full access to Sky's limited help.
I focussed on mine as soon as I got my answer sheet and question paper. The paper was pretty easy and less lengthy. I completed the exam before 3:35 or more precisely I completed writing the answers at 2:50.I checked and submitted my papers early. Lacy was still writing and Sky too as well. I came out and had a small amount of fruit for my break.
I was going through the concepts. Lacy came to me and we sat going through the notes. Sky was still not coming. I asked Lacy, "Did everyone come out of the class when you left? "
"No.I came right after I handed down the paper.Others are still writing maybe. What's the need of thinking for those? Better to study"
"Yeah you are right! "
But my mind went on wondering about him. How he fared in his exam. I saw the invigilators coming out yet with no sight of him. Others came out long back. Somehow while scanning through the papers I felt I was missing something. Maybe someone's scent or fragrance or his breath. Maybe his presence altogether but is still missing. I was daydreaming…
