Next day in the school, after practice I attended my first class with Ketty and Zoe and here they are telling about a hot girl in the school, though I am feeling weird because why to talk about girls, I mean girl should talk about boys and should be interested in the boys only. However, there comments related to girl giving me an expression as if I know that girl,
Ketty: There is a girl in the school, I guess she is the only one who I like this much till now. Since months I am watching her, she usually wears black color clothes, her figure is so hot, once you must see her my friend.
Zoe: Yeah I have also see her but always with Pixie or alone. But she is soooo beautiful and hot when I see her, I can't just look away from her.
Siya: Really!! Then you should show me her today, let me also look at what soooo beautiful in her that you girls are that mesmerized with her. (Chuckled lightly, internally I am thinking isn't it Jazz because this how I define her and and she looks like)
Ketty & Zoe: (Huffing in frustration) O common how can you take both of us like a joke, we are damn serious.
Siya: O yeah okay okay. (joining my hand together in front of them and laughed out loud).
After saying this I laughed out loud and they start hitting at my shoulder but playfully, I tried to defend myself by covering my self with my hands though I know they are just being playful. However soon all I can hear is only our voices but as far as I know we are in the middle of the class, where teacher is teaching us so, out of curiosity I raised my head towards where teacher should be sitting and but there is no teacher in fact she is standing in front of me with a frown face. Seeing this I got sober, sit straight and tried to get both of them sober too.
Soon they too get sober, follow my direction of eyes and after seeing this we three bend our head and look at our hand lying on our laps. Though, internally I am laughing ( because I know I am going to be get scolded and like as usual this make me laugh I don't know why but getting scolded in front of friends or cousins is funny, plus it becomes more funny when we know that we are not alone who would be getting scolded) and from the corner of my eyes I can also see Ketty and Zoe has smile on their faces too while they looking at their laps. However, soon teachers voice break the silence,
Teacher: (Frown face, frustrated and anger filled voice) You three stand up now?!!
We get up from our seats but our heads remain down, as soon as we stand up teacher started her rant and to be honest she has a very quite sharp voice so, when she start ranting on us I feel like my ear going to bleed.
Teacher: What kind of behavior is this? What do you thing its a class or a playground, here I am teaching and you guys are laughing and playing? What do you think of me, I am stupid or a fool? Now look at you, while having fun or playing you guys not at all ashamed and now your head is bend down in sorry.
(Only we three know we are not ashamed or sorry, our head is bending down because we know if we look up while getting scolded we would laugh or smile and this will make teacher to scold us more).
Teacher: (ranting and yelling) You know what, you three just get out of the class, now!!!
Without waiting for any more second we picked our bags run away from the class, while trying to keep our face straight and serious as soon as we leave the class and reach a bit far away from that room, then we stop running laughed out like a crazy persons,
Ketty: (While laughing only) shit bro you should have seen her face, she looked so angry. Though when she was scolding, I just wanted to laugh.
Zoe: (Laughing too) same her bro though for a second I felt that we are screwed but thankfully she only asked for us go outside.
Siya: (Chuckling) Yeah I agree too
Ketty: (After getting sober and with excitement) Cool, now leave all this aside we are going parking lot because the beautiful, hot and elegant girl in black would be waiting for her friends. Though one her friend is Vicz may be because she looks like that.
Siya: Ohh okay then lets go (Though inside I am having doubts that may be we are going to see Jazz only)
We three start walking in that direction only, while walking Ketty and Zoe are walking in full excitement to see their girl in black and I am also curious too know who is she but I have to wait for few minutes so, casually I check out my phone and here I found the notification of messages from Jazz and Vicz saying that they are waiting for me at parking lot. However, before I could reply to their message, we reach at our destination and both of them scream together,
Ketty & Zoe: (Pointing their finger in a direction where two girls are) Look there she is standing, with her friend.
Though, all I can see is their backs but I know they are Vicz and Jazz so, internally I am smirking because now this going to be fun when both of them will know who these girls are to me. However, soon Vicz turn, our eyes met and she screamed,
Vicz: Siya my little sister!! (Hearing her scream Jazz also turned and smiled at me)
I start walking in their direction smiling, though they both are looking over my shoulder and seeing their reaction I turn and look where they are looking. Here, I see Ketty and Zoe standing there with shock reaction, mouth open wide and to this I raise my one eyebrow in question and with eyes plus facial expression to ask what happen. I guess they understood what I am trying to ask because the close their mouth, come and stand in front of me,
Ketty: (Whispering voice, so only I could hear) This girl in black how do you know her?
Siya: (Chuckling and whispering voice too) May or may not be she is my friend.
Ketty: (Shocked) Really??!!!
Here, Zoe chuckled a little seeing Ketty's reaction, on the other side Vicz and Jazz has confused facial expressions and I laughed lightly followed by Zoe laugh.
Vicz: What is happening?
Jazz: Why are you laughing?
Siya: (After sobering up) Ketty & Zoe meet my one of best buddy Jasmine and Jasmine meet my football friends Ketty and Zoe. And yeah guys she is the one who you describes as "the beautiful, hot and elegant the girl in black."
After listening this Zoe, me and Vicz laughed out loud. At the same time Vicz look into my eyes and we remember the first meeting of her and Jazz where these were her exact words to describe her. However, soon my eyes travel to look Ketty's face which red due to embarrassment and on the other side Jazz face showing she is a little annoyed as well as a bit frustrated because she is hearing those words again. Soon my laugh and other laughs to changed into frown, because Ketty's next comment which actually hurt me a bit,
Ketty: (Surprised, curious and rude too) But how come such a beautiful, elegant and rich girl become your friend? I mean look at you, a typical tomboy girl, not rich and even you don't have that class and here is Jasmine who is exactly opposite to you.
Zoe: (Scolding voice with high pitch) Ketty!! Mind you word, this is not a proper way to talk.
Before I or anyone else could speak Jazz spoke out,
Jazz: (Yelling) How dare you? Don't you have manners? Now keep you mouth shut and listen to me, friendship is beyond beauty, financial status or dressing style and yeah she is my friend because of her good, humble nature. And now we are leaving, hope to never see you again.
As soon as this conversation end, Jazz start walking in the direction where our shake shop is and we (as in Vicz and me) start following her. Though, I am following them blankly because my mind is a bit occupied with the Ketty"s word that are echoing in my mind. However, as soon as we reach at our destination I put a fake smile and fake confidence in me and we give our usual order to them. Soon our shakes come and we start drinking it, while drinking it Jazz initiated the conversation,
Jazz: Vicz what is your favorite number?
Vicz: (Confused) Umm three, why?
Jazz: (Smirking) My favorite number is sixty nine, do you know why?
Vicz: No I don't know.
While I am looking at their faces, with confusion
Jazz: (Winking and smirking) This numbers refer to one of the most amazing position, I have ever seen or know.
And it clicked in my mind, she is talking about sexual position and I know it because I have read in novels. Now I am going to pretend, because Vicz is going to be hell embarrassed after some time and it would be fun to watch,
Vicz: What kind of position is this? What are you talking about? Where have you seen it, can you show it to me?
Jazz: Okay (fishing out her phone from the bag)
Siya: (Hurry and in panic) What no, you are not going to show her.
Vicz: But why?
Jazz: O common let her see, she should know.
Vicz: Yeah
After this I keep my mouth shut, because they are not going to listen to me and after some minutes Jazz show her phone to Vicz while smirking, sort of showing evil smile. As soon as Vicz look closely into the image her face showed series of emotions, which are kind of hilarious because her face initially showed shock, closed her eyes for seconds, then her faced has red tint cheeks and finally she give Jazz back her phone in hurry as if its the most disgusting thing. Seeing all this I burst out laughing, soon they two joined us.
While laughing I just look and admire both of them because they somehow always become the reason I smile that too sometime intentionally or unintentionally and this is what I loved the most about our friendship. However, our free time got over soon and we reach back to our school and to attend our other classes. Unfortunately my next class for which I am going now is with Erik and I am hoping it to be peaceful, however when I enter in the class I found Erik drinking water from the bottle as if its a alcohol but I ignored my doubts naming it as overthinking and I go close to his seat and sit beside him.
As soon as I sit there, my doubts got confirmed because he is drinking alcohol only but I choose not to question him as its his life and his decision so, when he would be ready then he would tell me and I am going to wait. I believe in giving time to others, not to hover them because I think it makes that moment best. Soon teacher come to class and start teaching, after an hour class got over I move toward the exit door to leave the class but as usual Erik stop my way and drag me to empty class, here he sit on one of the empty seats and initiated the conversation.
Erik: (Drunk and slurred voice) You know what, I thought that this time my love is true but she cheated on me. I hate Mia.
Siya: Ohh
Erik: This happened yesterday evening, I saw her fucking someone.
Siya: Ohh Okay (Not knowing what else to say)
However, after taking few sips he forwarded his bottle for me to drink but it doesn't seems to be a request rather than its a demand because he keep on insisting me to drink even though I refused it politely. I took the bottle from his hand, pretended to drink and soon give him back. After some minutes he finished the bottle and start laughing madly, I raised my one eyebrow at him and he said,
Erik: I hate school, especially classes and here I skipped the class and forced you to skipped too because only you listen to me.
Siya: Ohh okay (Huh, less attendance will leave decrease our marks)
After some minute he sleep for some time, I tried to complete my assignment while waiting for him to wake and thankfully I have two hour break so, no more attendance loss. He woke up in an hour, we head towards the canteen and here he ordered his food and start eating pasta, I drink my hot chocolate. After some minutes he initiated the conversation,
Erik: (Hesitantly) Umm I did something wrong when I was drunk?
Siya: Not much but you just stop me to go for my next class and drag me to the empty class and you told me about that Mia cheated you. After that you slept for an hour and now we are here.
Erik: Okay, thank you.
After some minutes our food got finished, at same time only bell ring hinting that its time for my next and last class which is thankfully not with Erik. I go for my next class, after saying bye to him and after an hour class get over, though as soon as I leave the class I found drunk Erik standing there leaning by the wall and seeing him I just thought (uff its really hard to handle him while he is drunk). However, we together move toward the school gate to leave the school premises but I can see he is not able to walk properly so, I thought something and initiated the conversation,
Siya: (Hesitantly) You wait here for sometime, I will be back from the canteen probably in a minute of two okay?
Erik: (Drunk and slurry voice) Okay.
I rush in the canteen, purchase two bottle of lemonade thinking that hopefully it will decrease his intoxication. After collecting the bottles I go back to him and for one I found him obediently waiting for me, and we leave the premises. While walking I pass him one of the bottle and insist him to drink, though initially he tried to refuse but as I keep on insisting so, having no choice he drink it. We walked nearby the school some more time, so that he could get sober and after a minute he stop in his track and hold my wrist, out of curiosity I raise one of my eyebrow at him,
Erik: (he pointed his finger toward his left side) Look, child laboring is happening there, I am going to call police now. (After this he take out his phone from the pocket)
I looked at place where he pointed his finger and there I can see a fruit vendor is setting the fruit in the cart, a child is helping him and I found nothing wrong in this. However before I could say or do to stop Erik from calling the police, he is already talking to them and I am shocked as well as scared to thinking now what going to happen. Soon he hand up the call and drag me behind a car, I tried to protest but he shushh me saying,
Erik: Keep quite and stand here only we will see it what would happen to the vendor, by this way only.
Siya: (Huffing) okay
After waiting for thirty minute police come, crowd gathered they (police and vendor guy) start but talking but we are unable to hear anything because of the distance between us. Though, seeing it from distance I can assume the Vendor guy is pleading may be, after some ten minute police leave without arresting and crowd also getting clear. Some of the people come in our direction, Erik stand straight and I also followed his action, Erik stopped one off the person who is going to pass us,
Erik: Hello, can you tell what happened there and why police came?
Person: Yeah actually an idiot guy call the police and told them about child labor is happening, though Vendor said that his child is only helping and showed some proof too. (After hearing this I laughed out loud whole heartedly, inside of my mind)
After saying his part the person leave the area, here Erik has this expression on his face which usually say "shit how fool I am" and to avoid to laughing at his face I took out the phone from my pocket immediately and I pretended to check messages. Though from the corner of my eyes, I can see he is looking at me,
Siya: (trying to control my laugh, a bit stern voice) I think we should leave for home its getting late. (I look into his eyes and he is avoiding eye contact now)
Erik: Yeah okay.
After fifteen minutes our cabs come, once I got settled in the cab I laughed out loud and driver look at me like as I have gone mad so I get sober up immediately. In half an hour I reached home, got my self fresh, eat some food and start working on my assignment again. Around, eight in the night I go for my dinner and later call it a night while thinking what a crazy day today I had.
