I woke up early in the morning , not to mention I had to bathe in this chilly weather at 6 o'clock. The exam would be from 2:00p.m yet I prepared early. I don't know but I was not naturally that tense but not eased either.
Mom was nagging me this morning regarding the train tickets, purse, money ,and water bottles. Alas! Who would make her understand that I was already grown up. She gave me food at around 8:30 a. m.
After having the food I brushed my hair, wore a jacket with a hoodie. Temperature was already very low, approximately around 5-6°C.And since my college was situated at a place nearest to a rural area it was further cold.
Packing was already done. I took my parents blessings and went out.
I caught the train with Lacy and Suzie. We reached the college and met Ellie, Stephen and Alex on the way.
Our first job was to return our library books as a matter of fact it being the last exam of that semester. After that we sat on the stairs beside our examination hall.
Actually we came a lot early. Seniors were having their exam. Lacy's weakness is mathematics. She was literally shivering. Although Brother Henry was calming him down, she wouldn't listen. Finally they had a video call session. I shifted sideways to prevent myself being the bone between those love-birds.
I was wondering whether he would come or not before the stipulated time. My grief was soon broken the moment he came. He sat behind me. At Least not avoiding me.
He entered and said, " What will you do by studying so much? Take a break already. "
Lacy was blabbering about her trip to Paris and the picnic by mistake which she said, "You know for seven days I have been enjoying Paris and a picnic too"
It was enough for Sky to chip a story out of it.
He started, "O you were having a 7 days picnic in Paris booking a hotel and having a picnic, great! "
She stumbled, "No-o I m-mean after I returned I had a picnic here. "
He continued, "What's the use of having a picnic here? Better to have enjoyed it there. "
I started tittering. I don't know why, whether it's his tone or his way of saying things that makes me laugh all the way. In fact when he was asking for a solution to the problem I started to laugh, I don't know why?
Was it because of loneliness! I really do wonder.
Then he started telling others, " Because of Sonnet I was able to study.In short, I practised the doubts she had given me. "
For a minute I thought about what and why he was saying that, the next moment I figured out that he was lying through his teeth.He himself was practising a lot. But I didn't say much. Better to keep it as it is.
Next I was talking to him about how madly I searched for my admit card. He was telling me that he too couldn't search for his one in the morning as well. Stephen came from behind and waved, "Hi! "
I finally got time to chat with Sky and didn't even bother to be with others. This time Stephen called me from behind. I responded quickly, "Bye."
He was saying, " What's wrong with you ladies nowadays? "
Sky chuckled. I replied," Really! Have your brain checked first." Then I told Stephen that I got my 3rd star over hackerrank in C language.Stephen said, " O My God how come you do all these! "
I replied casually, " Just a hobby or pastime rather. "
Then Stephen started, "Really,better to play games instead of doing these. You do so much indeed. "
Then Sky chipped in saying, " Yeah, many people love coding. My friend too loves coding. I asked him to hangout with me during this college break but he was busy coding . There's nothing wrong with it. Many people like it. And people do love to code during their free time. There's nothing awesome about it. "
I felt happy. My smile was gentle. A sense of security developed which I had never experienced before. Stephen's tone was as if I had done an incredible job worthy of attaining a prize. A tone which would suddenly make you insecure. Actually I like to keep a low profile as much as possible and Sky's soothing and supportive role made me even happier.
The strange thing about Sky was that he only wore a shirt and his pair of trousers. He didn't even bother to wear a jacket. He is cool after all. Finally today he wore his specs during the exam. I gave my exam diligently. I somehow managed to write everything.
Finally the bell rang and the exam was over…
