Time: Lunch Break
After the whole hearted talk and mess fianlly Ning and Feng were at the same table atleast the awkwardness between them was less and they were able to enjoy each other company. As both of them had common taste in music and loved reading fiction and had the weirdest humor.
.
"What are you guys doing after school?" Ling asked as she took a bite of her desert.
"Going home"
"Clean"
"Practice" Came the lazy answers from the lazy people, making Ling groan and roll her eyes.
"Seriously? So boring~" She huffed while glaring at the trio.
.
"Doing our daily work is boring Seriously?" Ning asked as she crossed her arms and looked starlight into her eyes.
"Yeah very boring."
"So, what according to you is not boring?" Yuan asked as he finished drinking his orange juice.
.
Hearing him an evil smirk formed on her lips,
"(This girl is for sure up for something.)" Ning thought as she sighed.
"You three goody shoes ever heard of bunking the classes?"
And with that word out of her lips the three of them exchanged their looks.
"Ling we would be mad to do that." Feng commented...
.
And the next thing that happened was four of them jumping off the high school walls.
"Guess we really are mad." Feng said as he dusted off his pants.
And than his eyes landed on Ning who was silent throughout the skipping out but her eyes showed sheer excitement and there was a big smile pasted on her lips, she looked like a child who experienced walking for the first time.
.
"Feng if you are done talking with yourself and daydreaming then move your ass, or else be ready for be caught." Ling said as she took Ning hand in hers and ran towards the left side of the road.
"Can't she be a little kinder with her words?" Feng commented while Yuan just chuckled and ran after the girls followed by feng.
.
They walked around cracking some odd jokes and commenting on others fashion sense before fianlly reaching their destination the downtown market which was having a sale today.
"Wow now this is what we call luck." Ling said as she patted Ning's shoulders while Ning just showed her a proud smile.
.
"What do you mean?" Both the boys unaware of the girl code asked at the same time.
Ling looked at them and then at Ning as if asking for her permission to talk further.
"Its nothing special..." Ning started but was soon interrupted by Ling,
"Of course it is special. Both of you, I am telling you as long as you have Ning by your side nothing could wrong, you know she is a lucky charm." She whispered the last part while Ning turned into crimson.
.
"Lucky charm?" Yuan aksed as he looked at Ning with judging eyes which were soon replaced by his moonlight smile eyes.
"No wonder I have been winning every game ever since we started hanging out together." Yuan said as he looked at Ning with dreamy eyes to which Ning just gave out an awkward laugh.
.
"Hey! Are you trying to flirt with her?" Ling amsed in a cold and serious tone.
"Huh? NO! Our relationship is purely a brother and sister relationship nothing less nothing more! I can't even dream of flirting with her...Seriously Ling jie you really hurted my feelings." He said while putting his hands on his left side of his chest.
"Hah, you and your ChEsEy Words~"
"They are heart touching! Not chessy!"
.
And there they were again arguing,
"(This kids are sure a handful or headache would be better.)" Feng thought as he looked at Ning whose eyes seemed to be lost but filled with warmth as it looked at Yuan with a small smile on her lips.
"Brother..." She muttered in a very small voice and of course Feng didn't hear it but he could feel the sadness and a slight bit of pain in that smile which made his heart troubled.
.
And he didn't want Ning to go back to her emotionless face so he decided to distract her mind as the two jokers weren't really helping much.
"Ning" He called and Ning eyes meet with his and there it was again a werid feeling in his heart...something he wasn't just able to point out...something mysterious.
"Why is Ning referring to you as a lucky charm?" He aksed ignoring his feelings and sipping of his blue Hawaii (He just bought it.)
.
"Oh that! It's nothing special I just read about May born being lucky somewhere and after that if anything good happens with her with me by her side, she would give its credit to me and call me her lucky charm and I just play along with her.." Ning said as she chuckled while Feng too have out a smile.
"I can even imagine her going that, but what about the time things go wrong?"
"In those type of days she blames the day but never me." She said again with the same smile while Feng let out a soft chuckle and shaking his head.
.
"...But still it's kind of silly...how could she think of me as a charm? That's the least I could think of myself...." She said as she looked at the sky which was getting covered with thick black clouds.
Feng noticed the change in her mood so he opend his mouth to say soemthing, just something to please her but nothing came. And they sat there in silence.
.
"Shit! It's going to rain." Ling cursed as she looked at the clouds that could pour at any moment.
"Did she just noticed them after shopping and hoping around for the last 1 hour?" Feng aksed in disbelief while Ling just glared at him.
"Feng Ge, you must be thankful for the fact that she atleast noticed it." Yuan said with sarcasm clear in his voice.
.
"How do we return back? The school will end in 1 and half hour." Ning asked as she looked at the sky which started giving out a light shower making the other three to gasp and groan.
