Chapter 23

Next day onwards I start preparation of the exam, sometimes its with Zoe and Ketty and sometime with Vicz, because of different subjects. Though there is one thing, either I am with those two or Vicz only and they never enjoyed each other company alone. One day me and Vicz just sitting on different bikes in the parking lot and enjoying hot coffee in comfortable silence between us, though I can somehow feel like she is just lost somewhere and her eyes saying some unsaid things. All of sudden she initiated the conversation,

Vicz: You know your eyes are like a mirror Siya?

SIya: (Surprised) What?

Vicz: Your eyes expressed each and every emotion so clearly, your words are always different from what your eyes are saying. Do you know?

Siya: I don't know, but I can feel it sometimes. I mean I may lie but I can sense my eyes telling the truth and don't know how? And one more thing is that I can understand others eyes too, I mean I can somehow know what they are actually feeling.

Vicz: (smiled lightly) I know. But the trick is our eyes expressions changed too quickly, you have to be the like really quick and clever observer to understand them.

Siya: Yeah. Are you sure that you have never studied psychology or may be reading it secretly ?

Vicz: (chuckled) Very funny. No I have never read psychology and I am not even planning to do so. But I can read eyes and understand quite efficiently. And I can read and understands yours too.

Siya: (pretended to think) Should I be more cautious?

Vicz: (laughed whole heartedly) Sisters your eyes can never be the betrayer, trust me. (winked at me)

With this we both laughed out loud. After a minute or so I stop laughing but Vicz is still laughing lightly and I admired her with a smile.

Siya: You should smile more it suits you.

Vicz: (giggled) You too should smile more.

While smiling, we finished our drink. After sometime we re-enter in school to go to library, but before we could enter in, Vicz phone rang out, she excused herself move towards the more open area for the better network. However, I choose to move inside because I know she would be back soon but before I could enter more deep Vicz come running, hold my hand tightly and dragged me outside with phone is on her ear. As soon as we reached outside she give me her phone, I here V's M voice.

V's M: Hey dear. How are you?

Siya: (labored breathing) Hey, I am good and how are you.

Vicz giggles lightly seeing my condition, I looked at her glaring. Though her mother voice break our little so call moment.

V's M: (voice filled with concern) I am good too. But are you alright, your voice sound like you have run the marathon and you have labored breathing too.

(I though for a second in my mind, this would be fun. I should tease Vicz now)

Siya: (with innocent face, though she can't see me but still Vicz can do it) Umm actually Vicz...

V's M: (she don't let me complete the sentence, with a bit stern voice) Put the phone on speaker now (Even I got a bit scared too because of her this type of reaction, however I do what she asked me to do it.)

Siya: (switch on the speaker on the phone, keeping up my innocent face. Though Vicz look straight in eyes and she knows what is going to happen, she covered her ears with her hands and glare at me) Done.

V's M: What the hell have you done to her Vicz, I am tired of your immaturity. Tell me why Siya's breathing was heavy and you have only ten seconds to speak and don't make me come there and spank your ass.

Siya: (I flinch at her this reaction a bit. She can be scary sometimes but when I look at Vicz face I just bit my cheek from inside to control my laugh as she is sweating and looking scared. I am feeling a bit guilty too but I keep my calm.)

Vicz: (stuttering) M..mom when you asked for Siya, I..I literally dragged her to the this network area, so we basically ran a little with high speed. So, this happened.

V's M: (with anger) You!!....

Siya: ( cutting her off, I don't want Vicz to be scolded for such a little thing) I am fine, please don't scold her she did nothing wrong.

V's M: (took some deep breaths, I can hear it a bit) Okay dear. However, I have given Vicz a choco lava cake your you. Do eat it. Okay I have some work to do, good bye and take care. (With this she hang up the phone.)

As soon as phone hang up, I started running off like a mad person in the school and she start running after me. I knew if she caught me she would beat me up, to avoid this I am just running. After most likely fifteen minutes we stop fighting, as I am unable to breathe properly and her breathing state is somewhat similar too. It took us some minutes to get relaxed and we look at each other, we burst out laughing.

Siya: Your mom can get really scary sometimes, especially in anger. Even I got scared too.

Vicz: Yeah she could be but its fine, everyone has some negative points in them. You have to accept them as they are.

Siya: But what if you are not comfortable or you don't like that one negative part?

Vicz: We can't have everything, in a way which we desired it. We can clearly talk to them, usually thinks can work out with just a healthy communication.

Siya: Okay. Come let's go we have to complete our studies.

After our meaningful conversation we go to library and complete our studies. Later at lunch we sit together and eat our lunch, she give me my cake too which we both shared together. Around two in the noon when lunch get over we move to different direction as she has to study other subjects and as per same goes for me too. I reached to the free lab where Ketty and Zoe were already present and studying but what actually surprised me is that Erik was present there too, though he wasn't studying like them but he is playing game on his phone.

However, I go and sit beside Zoe then only all three of them noticed me but rather than talking to me they all resume on their activities and me too start studying. After sometime I can feel someone staring at me, I look in that direction Erik looking at me with concentration and to this I look into his eyes with confusion.

Erik: What are you studying?

Siya: Abnormal psychology

Erik: Teach me also

Siya: You will study? Aren't you the one, who not want to study and just want to pass exam by cheating.

Erik: Yeah. But you are the one studying, I want to spend time with you. So, if you would teach me we could spend some quality time.

Siya: (though he impressed me but I am not going to show it) Okay.

As our conversation ended, I get up and sit beside him. We both start studying together, I must say he is very intelligent as he is grasping everything efficiently. We studied together till the final bell rang and after that we all leave for home.

This whole schedule worked till fifteen days, sometimes with Vicz, Zoe & Ketty and Erik we studied and prepared for exams. As the exams get over principal announced two months vacations going to be started from the next fourth day, we would be given lot of assignments. So, we all are happy and excited but sad too a bit because we have to do some assignments.

Finally at the fourth day a new schedule is given to all of us, with this we all left the school. When I reach home, I got freshen up then I get myself booked for trekking trip for a week by the night. Though as usual family initially they raised many question but later they understand I am a grown up person now so, I should go out and enjoy. However, they take a promise for me to call them daily, so with the excitement for trip for which I would be leaving after three days, I called it a night.
