"Like an arrow in the blue sky
another day passes us by
on my pillow, on my table...Yeah life goes on like this again..." Ning sang as she looked outside the window towards the clouds that seemed to amaze her everyday.
.
"(How nice it must be to play in the clouds.)" She thought when suddenly she heard someone knocking at the door.
Ning quickly got up form her chair and layer on her bed with a thick blanket to cover her all over.
.
"Come in please.." She said with a slow and tired voice.
The door opened slowly and her mother stood there with her hands behind her back.
"Mother? Do you need something?" She asked confused by her sudden visit.
.
"Not really, by the way there is a birthday party next door."
"So?"
"So why don't you go and sing there, I bet everyone will love your voice." She said while smiling at her and Ning just covered her head with the blanket.
.
"Silly girl, now stop pretending sick and here have this, your father bought this for you yesterday." She said while putting the ice cream box infornt of her face.
Ning slowly removed the blankets over her face and looked at ice cream box and then again t rhr mother's face.
.
"...You knew I was acting?"
"Ah huh"
"...But you still let me stay?"
"Ah huh"
"..Why..?
"Why are you so calm? I lied and even skipped School...I was going to act until the end and I even acted rude to you yesterday--"
.
"Exactly! Exactly this is the reason why I didn't say anything." She said while handing her the box and suirng beside her.
.
"Ning, I know I am strong headed but I am not blind. Just yesterday morning you looked so happy like you have own some lottery and while coming back you looked like you have lost everything. And when I turned to talk, you pushed me away so I got mad and rest you know only...and when you said you are sick this morning I understood something must be going on."
"So you let me be." Ning said as she looked at the ice cream, it was one of her Favourite flavor.
.
"Yeah but only for today. So, clean the mess inside your head and be ready for tomorrow." She said while standing up from her bed when suddenly Ning held her hand.
"Why aren't you asking me about the reason?"
"Because you surely don't want to tell me." She said while looking at Ning who seemed to be lost in her thoughts again.
.
*sigh*
"Listen silly girl, I don't know what you are going through but always remmber running away is never a solution. And if you are tired taking a hand isn't wrong either." She said and left the room while Ning kept thinking about the advice her mother just gave.
.
*Ding!*
LingLing☆
Ling: ( I am out of school, do you want me to bring you anything?)
Ling: (Don't worry about the price just name it without any hesitation,)
Ling: (I will take the money form you with interest later.)
.
Ning let out a small laugh while looking at her texts and then again she looked at the ice cream box and suddenly something popped inside her head.
She went to her call log and dialed Ling's number.
.
"Hello?"
"Hello Ning! Are you seriously calling me on your own! God Am I dreaming?" Ling said as she looked at her phone again and again not believing that Ning was the one to call her first.
.
"Ling, does your offer still stand?" Ning aksed completely ignoring her rantings.
"Hah, it sure does."
"Okay then can you bring me----"
.
"So tired! My whole body feels nothing but numb." Feng said as he sat on his bed and lazily bought out his phone to check for any missed calls or texts.
Out of all the texts he received none were worth replying or calling back.
So he kept his phone down and laid down on his bed closing his eyes.
.
He was for sure damm tired but sleep was nowhere near him and his head felt messy and empty at the same time making things even more hard.
"Ugh!! Just why can't I sleep!" He said in an irritated tone and looked at his phone and everything that happened during the cleaning time came in his mind.
.
"Am I really being sour because of her? It's not like she is responsible for anything...she never asked for help anyway. So why? Why do I feel so angry? Why am I having expectations on her? This is all Wrong!! Ugh!!" Feng rumbled while holding his head and screaming silently under his pillow.
.
"Maybe I am too overwhelmed with all this time travel and weird dreams...and most of all being with Ning too much must have effected me...after all she is soon to be dead person." Feng said as he felt a bitterness in his tongue while saying the last words. But he just shook it off.
.
"Is her fever down yet?" He texted to Ling.
"Yeah" Ling replied right after and Feng let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank God...maybe I will see her again tomorrow." He talked to himself with a faint smile on his face and not long after that sleep found its way to him.
.
"Ning, you sure are a whole different breed." Long said as she kept her phone down and looked at her bestie busy in her work.
"Ling, it's late you should head back." Ning said as she looked at her face which showed tiredness in big letters.
.
"And what about you? You didn't even tell me anything about why you need this things and why you acted sick and why--"
"I will sleep after completing this and for the other two questions I will tell them tomorrow if you leave for your house right now or else forget it and die in curiosity."
.
"Okay, Okay I am leaving. And remember you must tell me about all this Tomorrow." Ling said as she opened the door and walked out of her room.
"I hope this will fix what I broke." Ning said as she smiled and after working a little more she headed towards her bed.
.
"Tomorrow I won't run away!" She said while closing her eyes and drifting to sleep.
