The next morning . I woke up in a slight daze since I couldn't keep up with the rapid developments in my life . First there was the thing with Darren and Mary . It was not a problem if she had a cordial personality but I don't see that happening. Darren's expression when he told he couldn't reject her directly was not of grief or internal conflict but a slight fear ( don't underestimate a pyschology student). I don't know why and I didn't pry into the matter but now it has started to irk me.
The another matter was how I creeped that girl Alice.
I really should've minded my own business rather than trying to look cool or something ( That wasn't my intention but now I feel I may have subconsciously tried to look cool , LOL!).
I give a deep sigh . Start my routine ,get dressed up . I might be a loner but I believe that I have a decent sense in fashion . I wear a white T-shirt , a pair of blue jeans and black sneakers ( simple outfit nothing flashy).
My University is just a 10 minute walk from my house , so I walk back and forth daily . I pick my buzzing phone from my pocket and answer the incoming call.
" Sup Darren , anything important ?" . The caller was Darren of course ( Did you think anyone else would call me haha joke's on you )
" Nothing much , where are you ? "
" I'm on my way "
" Ohh cool ! come to the cafeteria I'll be waiting at the regular spot"
" Yeah sure , see ya".
After the call I make my way to my college and reach the cafeteria . There I see Darren sitting with a girl with brown blonde hair which is is slightly longer than shoulder length with a pink one piece dress, looking like a princess ( definitely from a rich family) . With such trivial thoughts in mind I greet Darren
" Hii ..." .
I strangely get formal with friends in presence of unknown people . ( Damn my social skills) . I took a seat in front of Darren who is sitting beside the girl.
" Kelvin this my childhood friend I told you about . She is Mary". I look at her and see a friendly smile on her face.
"Ahh .. Yes I'm Darren's friend.. Kelvin ".
" Nice to meet you , I'm Mary . Darren has told many things about you and You're just as he described"
" Well-l just to be sure , how did he describe me "? I'm not sure what Darren has told about me but I don't think she has a good impression of me.
" He mentioned that you're a bit formal and shy in front of strangers and you're a good person ".
Oh so Darren went ahead with safety first approach by not revealing my incompetent side . Good job mate ( striking a thumbs up to Darren in my mind).
" Oh .. I see. that's good to know " .
" Can you excuse us now Kelvin , I have matters to discuss with Darren in person " . she asks me while glaring daggers at Darren ( poor Darren getting caught up in this mess )
" Sure take your timee.. I'll see you in the class Darren , bye" . I really wanted to get outta there godspeed . Such an oppressive atmosphere . By looking at situation, Mary is possessive of Darren and sure is acting like a maiden in love . This is really troublesome , I couldn't grasp the full nature of her personality but she sure is a difficult person to handle( by my standards) . I let out a deep sigh and go to my regular classes.
" Miss Mary since you're new here you have a lot to catch up . Please collect your study material from our faculty and try to stay updated. Visit the staff room in need of any help without hesitation" . Our lecturer was a good guy. He introduced Mary to our class and gave her some important instructions .
Of course she would be in my class ( who are you kidding) . I heard from Darren that she even changed her subjects from Science to Humanities ( love struck score - 100) . Damnn it!! I really need to have a one - on - one talk with Darren later.
After the class and before the next class I go to Darren's seat.
" Hey Darren , you free this evening ? I need to talk with you ".
" I'm really sorry but I'm going to meet Karen".
" Oi Oi you serious! , you're already hitting off with her aren't you . Damn you lucky Bastard" ( I don't actually care it's his life but with Mary here I think this guy should be more careful. )
" Ahh " . I let out a sigh. " What are you gonna do about Mary"? I ask him.
" I have told her I'm going to meet my friends so she will ge going back home I suppose . She is staying in a nearby condo and I believe she has to sort her things out since he came here today, so no problems there ".
He says that with a smile . Well if he is saying it's fine then I don't need to worry much .
" Ok then , spare me your time tomorrow I need to talk with you , Bye". saying that I got back to my seat.
Later in the evening after all my classes , I hit the supermarket to get my stuff for dinner . I usually cook my dinner so I got some vegetables and ingredients.
" Ohhh! you're here today. Hi!"
I hear a female voice behind me and turn around to see a girl with black hair with a bob cut wearing a peach colored shirt and jeans .
" Hello .. how are you doi-ing" . The girl is Alice .
" Your way of talking is funny " . she says that and giggles . ( There is nothing funny if you know my situation girl)
" By the way what's your name . I totally forgot to ask it yesterday ".
" I'm kelvin , nice to meet you "
" Oh so it's Kelvin , yes same here ,nice to meet you . Oh wait a second ". She pulls out her bag to the front and takes out her wallet .
" Here you go , You're money . Thanks for yesterday".
" Ahh.. Thank you ". Saying that I take the money and put it in my wallet.
" By the way are you free now?".
" Huh? " . I got so surprised my response came out as a reflex
" What's with that response,you're funny" . she says while controlling her laughter .
" You see actually there is this new cafe and I wanted to try it out . So do you mind keeping me company"?
Oh so that's the deal huh . If my guess is correct the new cafe must be 'Levitate' . I deliberately missed my chance to go there so this might be a good chance . This girl is somewhat suspicious . Who would invite a guy out whom you have seen twice, just twice. I'll have to be careful around this girl.
" Ahh.. sure, I don't mind ". ( my formal speech is coming out on reflex ,don't bite me here)
So me and Alice make our way to the cafe . We talk about our college and other trivial stuff on the way. It seems that Alice is also from our college and she is in Archeological Department ( Oops!. )
We reached the Cafe and while entering I saw the most baffling scene of my life . The scene in front of me was so shocking that my jaw dropped to the ground ( It's just me exaggerating here but this situation is ridiculous)
WHAAT THE HELLL IS GOING ON HEREE!!
