Felix was still kinda pissed at me and I could pretty well sense it in our math class but that didn't stop him from sitting next to me again during the Literature period. I was so thankful for that cause both of my friends weren't there in this class. I'm saying two of my friends cause Nora still didn't show up to class. Miss Sophie was an elderly lady, a strict one who embarrasses her students, had a face caked with make up. To be on her good books is one of the toughest job on Earth. "You have to know what the story is about first" she explained. "You have to see through everything and notice all the small details. Know what the characters are-" As much as I loved Literature, her monotone voice bored me to death. A lot! Heck, I might even sleep. I tore a paper from my rough note and wrote, 'Still angry?' and passed it to Felix. As expected, he ignored it and was focussed on Miss Sophie. Just when the teacher faced the board, the paper flew just in time to be caught by Felix. "Phew" I muttered. He took his pen and wrote something before he passed it back to me. It read,
F - 'Yep'
Q - 'How long will you stay mad at me?'
F - 'Nope never gonna forgive you!'
Q - 'Won't you consider my good hearted heart?'
He took a peek at me and I smiled in response to make him understand my point but my smiled dropped at his response.
F - 'Nope'
Q - 'Dude c'mon dude I'm sorry'
He stared at the paper for a long time and exhaled. Suddenly Miss Sophie made her way towards us and turned to me as she said, "I think I asked you a question and you!" she paused to turn towards Felix and continued, "were looking at him. I don't like people who focus elsewhere instead of the subject" Felix and I stood up simultaneously with our heads down in embarrassment. Then she went back to her own place and said, "You both are getting detention as a punishment" The bell rang. "Shit... Utter shit" I never thought my day could even get worse than this. If looks could kill a person then I would be attending my own funeral right now because Felix killed me long ago. "I'm sorry" said Felix all of a sudden when we were heading to the last class we had together - Detention. Actually, I had other classes but nothing was interesting to me. I was surprised and asked him, "For what?" "If you hadn't seen me, then we wouldn't have been here now" he said as we stood outside the class. "Well it took me to get a detention to hear you speak" I chuckled and his smile reached his eyes. He opened the door for me and I quietly thanked him in return. I took the seat at the back and Felix sat to my right. He started humming a song as he stared at the empty space before him. Me being an awesome me, took my sketch pad and started sketching a scenery. Sometime later, he started speaking to me. "I'm so sorry Quinn. I didn't mean to hurt you but you didn't seem to be offended by my actions" I was totally embarrassed and my cheeks flared red. So, I quickly faked a frown and clutched my chest and said, "You stabbed me right here Lix!" He smiled and said, "Okay but" he paused and I looked up from my sketching. "What is it Felix?" I asked him as I saw the emotions fill up in his lilac blue eyes. "I lost my entire family in a car accident, my elder brother, younger brother along with my parents" "My God!! What have I done?" my mind screamed at me. "My elder brother was driving the car with my dad in the front and my mother, sister in the middle and I was at the back of the car" "I was angry because yo- my friend left me for another guy" Tears fell from his chin to my hands cause I was holding his. He took a deep ragged breath and continued, "Both my brother and dad turned back to make me respond and then" he inhaled the air sharply as his tears rolled down. I quickly hugged him and whispered, "It's okay" repeatedly to him. Then I started rubbing his hand up and down in order to soothe him. "Thanks Quinn. I don't know why I said this, but it felt great venting it out to you. So sorry" "No, apologies not taken" I said as he gave me a dumbstruck expression. "No, I didn't mean it like that but, saying sorry is too much Lix. You can share everything with me and I won't judge you, okay?" I said this with a smile on my face. When he pulled me for a hug, I felt strange sparks in the place his hands touched me but I ignored it and broke the hug. He smiled at me when the door opened to reveal the teacher. "I see, that you have two have obeyed the detention process even though I wasn't there. So, I'll let you guys out now" We both nodded and I said, "Thank you so much sir" "But don't say this to anyone else. It's between us, okay?" "Sure sir" I said and turned to see Felix but he had a puzzled look on his face. He was taking a look at my sketching. "I do know I suck at sketching, okay?" He gave me a 'Are you serious' look and I smiled sheepishly. "Have you seen this place?" he asked me but his eyes were fixed to my drawing. "No.. but" I hesitated but then regained my confidence when he shared his greatest sorrow to me. It wouldn't be fair if I don't tell him mine. "Umm... it came in my nightmare" I squeaked. "Oh okay..." he trailed off. After this conversation, an awkward silence was placed. We packed our stuff silently and left the class after bidding farewell to the teacher. We didn't speak even when I roared my Harley to life. I broke the silence by asking him, "Is something wrong?" "No why?" I chuckled and answered him, "Cause, for the matter, you denied it very quickly. Then you have been without talking for awhile" I stated. "What? no!! I kinda... Ahem... got freaked out when I saw your sketch" "Why, you didn't like it?" He chuckled and said, "It's not about how good you are but it's about the place, my daisy" "Woah you sound older to me!" I chuckled but my cheeks flushed red due to the pet name he called me. "You really don't know anything about me" he sounded serious but I let it slide away. "This place has haunted my past life. So I freaked out, okay?" he explained. "Yes sir!" I saluted him. "Dude, Quinn are you nuts?!? Hands on the bar!" he shouted. "Oops" I said as I sped all the way but not over the limit of 70.
