"Today is as boring as any other day...ahhh why is it soooo hot by the way?.."

"The sun has noooo mercy(frustrated) and morning assembly .., could this day get any worse ?."

"Calm down will ya?!"

"Huh ... but Cloverrr ,can't you see that it is too hot today? by the way in the evening ,why do we have practice too??? this day is loaded as it is, please ... can we have it tomorrow ... please ,please clover " (milly trying to act cute)

"Do you wanna die? stop wining and start working , we have our match in 4 months."

"Ahhhhhh! .. its months awayyyyyy....whyy do you do this to ussss.... we won 2 yrs in a row anywayyyyy".

"Do you want a piece of me ".(Clover gives her angry stares to Milly)

"No thanks (sigh), i am sorry ok!... now stop frightening me with that stare of yours will you?"

"You people have become so lazy that you have started missing daily warmups too".

"Not me cap , you know i had family issues right?"

"Mmm(sigh) .... shall we eat something?"

"Yah cool its cap's treat!!!!"(milly exclaims in her high pitched voice)

(clover's inner thought : when did i say that?, fine....whatever)

"Stop yelling will ya" (clover walks fast)

"you are not gonna leave us behind are you?" (milly and angy catches on to her pace)

(On the way back; MILLY walking backwards)

"I can't take it! watermelon instead of ice-cream ?!! can you be any more annoying?"

(Clover ignores)

"Don't you know you can t have ice cream before match Milly ? isn't that right captain?"(mocks Milly with a smirk)

Clover ignores Angy and walks behind them, then clover's attention falls on these two girls who were coming out of the building. They were going in the opposite direction ,within minutes one of the girls breaks down into tears while the other one tried to console her. Clover recognised them and rushed in for help.

Sniff* sniff*(One of them was crying bitterly)

is it Agatha?(Milly asks)

(Clover walks up to Agatha)

"Hey Agatha, why are you crying ?"

{FROM HERE ON OUT THE NARRATOR WILL BE THE HEROIN (Clover)}

She lifted her head a little, looked at me and hugged me without a word.

"What is it ?(I asked again in a worried tone ) answer me Aggy.. what's wrong?"

She lifts her head from my shoulder and looks me in the eye and asked

"shall we go some were else and talk?"

"yah sure"

I said ,I lead her by her hand and brought her to the school garden and we sat on a bench. Looking at her now ,she looks tired and confused , i wiped her tears off her face and paused for her to open up.

she asked me in a very dull and tired voice

"Clover have you loved anyone in your life?"

I looked at her with the expression saying what the heck of a dumb question was that? but never mind i replied

"yah my family".

She stares at me with the expression seriously written all over her face ,

"Stop playing dumb and answer me" (Agatha asked impatiently)

"Yah yah i know what you mean , but i don't like misery you know",

Aggy paused and after a brief silence tears started rolling down her cheeks once again, her voice started to crack and her hands were shaking. she opened her mouth and closed it helplessly, I wrapped her in a hug and said ,

"You don't have to force yourself"

Agatha aka Aggy nodded and after a while she said,

"I loved him for 3 years ... i was a fool , I was so foolishly in love that i ignorantly let him toy with me .... so many times"

"He said he loved me ,.... I was the one who lost everything in this bargain but what could have i done ..i loved him.... that a** h*** .(sobs) . *hiccup* he cheated on me (sobs).... and today when i caught them red handed, he said he never loved me in the first place and satisfied me because i was desperate"(sobs)...

I patted her head and then said

"Don't be down because of a brute like him .... you don t love him any more right?"

"Why do you ask clover ?" *hick* (lifts her head from my shoulder)

'Oh nothing .....just being sure cause i am going to smash some egg plants ,that's all..."

"Egg plants??"(Aggy asks cluelessly)

'"Yes"( i replied with an evil grin).

I stood up and cracked my knuckles thinking , another bastard in the campus who's a** has to be kicked huh ,this day just got worse.

(*noisy*)Because it was breaktime we(Clover, Milly and Angy) went to his class( he is a senior in high school) but he was not there. I asked some of his classmates if they knew were he was but they said 'no' in a haste without even listening to me. I asked a girl for his desk and she pointed me to a bench and left with her friends . I asked Milly and Angy to guard the door and watch out for teachers.

Then i went and flipped that bum's bench ... there was silence at last

"So does anyone no this bum's whereabouts? "

They looked shocked (silence) and a guy came in a hurry inside the class, I saw him and instantly recognised trouble. He came in and asked me why i was there and a chain of question and advises followed ,so i accepted my defeat and walked out but he followed me (nagging) ,at some miraculous point of time he stopped and i said

"Seriously Alwin , now you should understand why i named you hockey team' s mother in law, right?"

"Who are you calling by name ,call me big brother" ,

"Big brother my foot , you are just older than me that doesn't make you my brother "

"Aish!, why do you have to be so mean to me, anyway why are searching for Ralph of all people?"

" I told you , i have some business to take care with him" {cracking egg plant}

"He is in the outdoor basket ball court "

"Is he? (smile) , fine, thanks "

"Now.. listen ,he is not like others...( bye then : i leave)....huh she never listens (sigh)"

[in the basket ball court]

"Hi there! has anyone seen Mr Ralph the stray dog"

"Who are you calling a stray dog??"

"So is it you cause i hear you barking?"

"So you have a death wish little b**** " ( all his friends laughing)

"So you are the bastard mutt i was searching for huh , too bad"

I took a basket ball from the ground and aimed at his head , he with an annoying smirk on his face got ready to catch it , I threw it as if I missed my aim when he was waiting for the ball to land on his hand .... I ran towards him and with a jump kick, landed a lick on his face .

After a slight fall ,he got up (steaming with fury)

He reached out his hand ,tying to catch my hair, i dogged and punched his nose and with a kick , cracked his egg plant

'Ahhha!!! you b**** !'

He fell to the ground with his hands between his legs . Some of his friends tried to catch me but i ran back to my class.

(Meanwhile Alwin came to the ground to get Clover , he saw her running and his classmates struggling to catch her(sigh and a smile)

"I came here for noughts huh ... too bad.."

They didn't catch me and i came back to class. When i was about to enter the room i turned around to look for them and when i couldn't find anyone behind me i smirked in arrogance and i turned... oh crap<> I was on my way to collide with this guy...

In minutes we collided and i landed right on my knees and elbows and after which my head landed on the ground with a thud, 'i hope he is not dead', i thought and i closed my eyes to catch up on my long overdue-ed sleep.
