Although I was gritting my teeth, I did not give up easily. To make me feel at ease I crept in and took Lacy by her waist, I hugged her tightly and laughed. Though this made many people think that I am a lesbian but better than giving up my man. She didn't understand the meaning behind such a shameful act played by me, and that's for the best. She was hugging me happily.
After that she went to her group and I was blushing thinking over what I had done back then at that basic electrical lab . But I had no regrets. It was reasonable to me... finally.
I was thinking of those things when he lightly came behind me and whispered softly into my ears
" Thank you".
I was blushing but I controlled myself and replied saying, it's no big deal. It was only for my bestie. He said, " Is that it? " I said, " Yep".
Now when I think of that same lab class I feel elated as well as a bit embarrassed from within. One can think I'm mad and doing it for nothing but unfortunately liking and loving is a kind of sickness indeed.
Oh yeah, Coming to the present situation, during lunch he came back again and asked me " How to understand this part of the diffraction experiment? ".I was a bit dumbstruck.
I thought it was all over after his venture of avoiding me for a few days. Moreover he is great in academics not to mention his concepts of science. A true epitome of knowledge itself. I on the other hand love to study but am more of a bookworm.
I started to explain to him, when other girls came around him, sticking themselves as honey bees. I felt like giving each one of them a tight slap and throwing them away, but I didn't want to give a bad impression of myself to other girls.
To avoid such a deplorable scenario I said, " Hello, you know the next class is the practical class of physics and we have to answer questions. If any of us fail to answer then our grades will be deducted and we also might have to get severe punishment. So for the time being can you please excuse us. You can ask for his help later "
I actually used their weakness for him to fight the situation. It was really a thunderous situation. It was a real tight spot for me.
I continued to explain the experiment to him. He was staring at me.
He finally laughed and said, " You really have a brain of ideas. "
" Yep you are my partner after all... I mean lab partner to be precise", I spoke shifting my gaze away from his eye.
I really needed to hide it because I doubt he would run away from me just like how hard he tries to run away from them but can't shove them.
But getting a compliment from him made me feel extremely happy.
He laughed hard thinking of my idea I guess and said, " You're really a kid".
" Do you have any intention to understand the problem or not? " , I riled up.
He was a bit shocked. Actually he was using me as a shield... which I understood just by looking at him thus I felt grave.
The bell rang .
" Let's go " , he spoke up.
" Why and where will I go? ", I zoned out a bit.
Actually I was still thinking of his way of using me as a shield..
" Oh yeah the lab class", I replied looking at his unamused face with one eyebrow up.
We went to classq. He was actually the one who had understood the experiment clearly as expected. I only understood the surface part of it. He explained it to me and Haruto. His way of explaining with the movement of his arms and fingers and his concepts that are deeply embedded makes me compelled to believe him to be a "LORD OF Knowledge" . It is something that bewitched me.
As he had finished explaining I clearly understood everything. We performed the experiment though it was unsuccessful in the first attempt. But finally we could complete it.
Without my notice he had completed the practical writings. Where I on the other hand needed to complete the writing after the practical was over. He is really good at time management which makes him special and which makes me think further that he is far beyond my reach. I, on the other hand, have really poor time management skills . I am cold. He is warm. He is as if perfect in everything he does.
I remember, during the computer lab tests he scored the highest 85% which is really difficult to score. I, on the other hand, being his computer teacher, scored only 69%. Don't you feel he is beyond my reach?
Anybody can feel that and I felt the same too. The more I come to know about him the more I feel I don't know him... He ignores me outside the college as if I'm a stranger. There was a time when I clicked a photo for him after the college got over at his silly request.
But now, he is all on another level. He is not arrogant but he just likes to avoid me or can't avoid me. Sky really makes me feel puzzled….
