"You and your mom combination is great!! " Esha said in between her laughter...
I just rolled my eyes.
" By the way, there will be a new movie coming called 'Crazy Friend' , lets go and watch together.....I think it will be great... the hero looks so handsome in the trailer... " awww.... Esha eyes was all lovey dovey...
" When is it?? " Michelle asked.
" Lets go day after tomorrow??that will be the first day first show! " Esha almost squeak out of excitement.
" Hmmmm,sounds interesting,but lets see... " I said.
" What do you mean by 'lets see' "Esha got irritated.
" Hmmm... eh as you see, my mom is staying with me, and with all the stuffs going on, it wont be nice for me to go anywhere leaving her... " I replied,somehow feeling sad for myself.
" You can always go with Michelle... " I said in protest.
" I wanted 'all of us' to go together. " Esha pouted.
" Can I come as well then??" A voice suddenly pop up.
"No!!!! " We all said in unison, looking at Pete.
" Why?? Its just a movie.By the way,our university is going to be holding a three day conference.If any of you want to present a short paper, you can tell me. " He said as he sat down beside us.
" Really? Is there any time limit?? "Michelle asked sounding interested.
" Ten minutes for presentation, ten minutes for discussion.Thats what I am told and yeah, Mich? Professor Singh wants you to meet him after your classes." Pete told Michelle.
'What up with Pete calling. my Michelle. as Mich? ' If it was possible, I would put a dagger into his heart on that very spot. Even I dont call her Mich!!! I thought staring at Pete.
" Oh, yeah, Professor Singh liked my project about the genes manipulation risk I wrote the article on. " Michelle said.
" Ok, catch you all later. " Michelle got up to leave and while doing so, she winked at me as I shyly played with my hair.
" She is beautiful as well as very smart. " Pete said looking at her walking down the stairs.
" Yes, she is perfect woman. I envy the person she would fall in love, feels like she would go for someone who is super smart and handsome " He continued.
For a moment, I felt so proud she chose me... I wanted to say 'she loves me'....
But, I am not as smart as her, nor as beautiful or attractive as her...am I dragging her name down!!!?? It was like the dark demon of inferiority complex has engulf me... I started to feel pessimistic about me and Michelle.
No!! I shook myself, I should strife hard to be worthy of her... I clamp my fist!! Yes.. I need to keep fighting.
" Looks like Ashley is having a rough day" Pete said and laugh.
That's when I realized that I was thinking out loud, especially the self encouragement part.
"Ouch! that hurts!." Pete shouted at Esha for pinching his arm.
*Clang, clang*
"This will be our last class for today, so let's go. " Pete stood up.
" Huh? Last?? why? " Esha asked.
" Our professor are going to have a meeting about the conference I told you about. "So classes are canceled. You guys are so outdated. Keep yourself well informed.. " Pete teased...
