The next morning I woke up earlier than usual. Being an older sister is definitely not that easy. I need to prepare an energy drink for Nikki and me and also need to pack her lunch.
After preparing that I went to pack my minimal lunch since I have lost appetite. Nikki got up and was ready to go to school.I wasn't ready at all. I was just feeling a bit dizzy. I packed up and dressed up. And left home.
After I had reached college I had the best time. Lacy didn't come thank God. I know I can't hide it from her. She would definitely catch me.
But one thing we became a bit close. We chatted and had our gossip.
I talked with others as well and nobody figured out my position. But I didn't want others to pity me or blame me. I just wanted to avoid everything.
Soon classes were over and time for lunch break. I was waiting just for this moment to call dad and get some mom's info.
"Hello Dad, How is mom? "
"She is better than yesterday. "
"Oh, did she eat anything? "
"Yeah, tea and biscuits in the morning. She had cornflakes for breakfast. "
"Thank God. Did you have your breakfast? "
"No.I am not feeling well. "
"Dad! take it and have your own. I can't handle two at a time. You need to take care of yourself when I'm not around. "
"Um okay. Did you have yours? "
I lied through my teeth.
"I will have it in my canteen. Just now I got a break. "
"Okay have yours.Your mom is okay don't worry. "
"Thanks dad it's okay. I won't worry. Bye"
"Bye Sonnet"
I hung up. By now I saw Sky looking at me. Actually I called dad outside our class so no one heard our conversations. So I was a bit relieved.
I took out a small chocolate bar and had it for lunch. Nothing more. I somehow felt Sky wanted to ask me something. His eyes made me think that. Or it was really my illusion.
My world of imagination and fantasy where I dream to be with him. Ellie was asking me to have some more. I replied that I don't wanna eat now. And mostly avoided her or simply dodged her intuition.
Our eyes met.
"Sky what are you reading? "
"I'm reading a book which I had already read before. "
"Oh.I see. You know I got a scholarship last week. "
"What kind of scholarship was that? Will one be able to apply next year? "
"Nope.The scholarship was only for this year. Part of my semester fees will be reduced. It was distributed at an international book fair. "
"Wow! Cool. But did you see or read any book or only went to get the scholarship? "
"Dad bought one but I don't know the name. I roamed the stalls and saw many books. But you know books are expensive. "
"What? Seriously you don't even know the book your dad bought along with you? Do people like you really exist? "
"Yeah, I'm the living version of those people. "
"Do you recall the author? "
"Seriously, No"
Actually after my mom's condition I hardly got time to even have a glance at the book. Because of which it was left aside. But I can't simply tell him the reason.
"Okay I'm going to my seat. See you later. "
"Seriously, you don't remember? "
"Yeah, No. "
Sir, entered and I rushed back to my place. He was looking at me.
And suddenly turned his head and smirked. I don't know why.
I turned myself to be in sync with Sir's lecture. It was a mathematics class.
Sir was praising Sky a lot. He became his favourite student for his diligence in maths and love for cricket and books. Both he and the professor had a lot in common. And both never left an inch to make me laugh or blush in that class.
"Sunny be ready Sir will call you Sun-net.Ha ha "
"Sky! "
He immediately turned in front.
"Sun-net what's the matter? Any problem? "
Sir came in front of me. Sky sat diagonally in front of me.
"No, Sir. I was just busy taking out my notebook. "
"Okay Sun-net, pay attention. You are a good student. You need to be proper. "
"Yes Sir. "
Sky from behind was mimicking him pointing at me.
I couldn't help but laugh.
After Sir turned in front I whispered with my hands moving
"One slap to you if you don't stop. "
He laughed further and now Sir pointed at Sky.
"Sky, any problem. Today I found two of my good students distracted. Both you and Sun-net. "
In my mind I was thinking 'The Reason is only You'
"No Sir. No problem. "
"Then fine let the class begin"
After the class was over I packed my things. And headed straight for the drawing class.
Our benches were apart. But luckily mam called from roll nos where both I and Sky went forward to mam to learn the process.
Our eye whisper continued and his charming smile continued moving me. I was thoroughly bewitched but came to my senses soon.
After the class was over. We all went down stairs. And the college was over. Sky, Husky and Sherry and I left together. After that I went on my way to catch the train . On my way to meet mom in the hospital.
