"Oh! look at the boy he is bleeding. Those creatures are they even human? Iris do you have some bandages in your bag?" Rose said while searching her bag.
"Yes, I have" I replied. l took out the bandages while Rose was taking out his water bottle.
"Let me take care of his wounds" I took out my handkerchief from the pocket and started cleaning his wounds by wet handkerchief by gently pressing his wounds on the forehead.
When I took a look at him although there was not much light out there but I could see deep in his grey eyes as if it had something buried dark inside. When he gazed in my eyes I
could not describe my situation. It was something that only he and I could understand. Although it was only for a few seconds but that moment cannot be described in words like the time stopped for this very moment.
I got startled by hearing Rose's voice, I suddenly took back my hand and got back in the present time. She asked me to check other wounds but he only got a cut on his head and mere scratches on his hands so from one view it was nothing serious. I put bandage on his forehead and then started cleaning his wounds on his hands. His hands was so big from mine yet so cold when I touched it. The touch of his hands was so electrifying that it trigerred the receptors from my hand to my heart.
"Are you ok? do you want to go to the hospital or you want to report the bullies" I asked him in a gentle caring tone by widening my eyes.
He replied in a weak yet deep voice "I am fine, no need to report that". His black hair was covering the most of the forehead area which run down to his straight nose bridge.His pale skin was so flawless and smooth and the mole on his lower lip was a highlight above all of his feature.
What I am doing I asked myself. We merely know each other and now I couldn't resist his temptation. Get your act together witchy. But this was the first time I had thought of somebody else other than Vince. Should I be grateful that I was not obsessed with Vince or be sorrowful that was'nt my true love.
Rose again inquired about his injuries. He was still in his uniform. I gazed at his blazer which read St. Xavier's High School that was not far away from our school.
"So do you need us to drop you" I asked.
he denied our help by shaking his head.
When he stood up he was 12 to 15 cm longer than me. I was 1.65 m so he may be around 1.78 or 1.80 m.
He deny our offer and said thank you. He carried the bag from the other corner of the street and moved away.
Rose told me that we should probably go to our home as it was getting dark. So we cancelled our plan and started heading towards our home. Her house was just one block away from mine.
When I was walking I was thinking about the moment that just happened to me. The mere touch how could it affect me so much.
By breaking the silence Rose said, "Are you unhappy too as we didn't get to eat the burger".
I gave her a smirk and said,"Are you worrying about that you will not be able to eat anymore since do your bad in the test."
"Ah! I forgot about the test.These tests, why did someone created test? and why we are forced to attempt that."
"Tests show us how capable we are"I replied.
"A mere piece of paper cannot decide our future. You are great. You have such photographic memory that it can store anything. So you will not be able to understand the situation of lowly beings like us, witchy.By the way why miss eve called you?" she asked.
"There was a debate competition on 5th of August and the topic is quite boring."
"What?"
"Destiny is created by our own hands and I am asked to prepare the negative side"
"All the best. Well you don't need that. I know you will win the first position as always."
We reached the gate of my house. As we are aparting she whispered in my ears "The boy looks interesting in you too."
"What are you saying? I am not interested in him." I denied.
"But you look at each other with same intensity or should we say desire" Rose added.
"Just stop it."
My face temperature rises all of a sudden. Don't know what was happening to me.
"Oh my god! look at your face witchy it turned all red."
It didn't
I turned around in a flash and bamm! I bumped my left hand in the wall. Rose bursted with laughter.
I hurriedly closed the door as if I got caught red handed.
I walked to the door of my house all smiling and mesmerizing the moment happened earlier.
