"Part time friends?, does this word make any sense together?...elaborate it in five minutes!." he orders with a rude look .
" First can you please stop making this look, as if you are getting annoyed by me ;...And part time friends means ,we can act as a friend to each other while working on assignments and then as we complete the work then 'bomb!' ; we don't know each other..and I think we can manage it . So done ! now we are part time friends.
( grabbing his loose hand and shaking our hands as we are in the deal , but Mr.Rock has to show his attitude even there, he did the handshake without any effort ) Okay? Hi! part timer ,I need to go . You decide the place for preparation, we'll be there. Bye! " with a cherishing smile and friendly manner for the first time, I said and left the place and his reaction was numb as always. After even seeing his less cooperative attitude I dodge everything he was throwing at me ,cause I assume that even the bad and cruel people can be given A chance to improve themselves. And may this assignment bring any changes between him or I, this can be better or worse.
After completing my class my eyes search for Arina, I need to inform her but ,nowadays she has been absent minded like blushing, over laughing and always on her phone's screen. I told these changes to Dorothy and she thought that she might have got a boyfriend ; but she can open up about it ,why is she hiding it from me? ....thinking about her I walk with an unconscious mind. " See..in front! " a loud voice get into my ears as I get pulled by someone's hand.
And I nearly crash on someone but a hand saves me. I gain my mind and a soft smile comes into my sight . It was Adrian.
" Where are you walking? At least watch the way. Are you thinking about something...." Adrian asks with a fake astonished look ,while his hands were on my forearm and I was too close to him standing in front ; his hand saved me while pulling me toward him and my dark brown eyes got locked on his face,
" Why ain't you answering? " he ask with a little play with his eyebrows. And the words from his soft symmetrical lips were blowing me off and I was left unanswerable. His glaze ,his eyes ,his skin and his touch, they were what I always wanted. He has every beauty feature that I wanted in myself. He is gorgeous even after being a man , and I look down on myself in comparison with his charm. I admire his beauty, and the things rushing in my mind come out involuntarily.
" beautiful! " in an admirable look with a lost mind.
"beautiful..? Who ? ; me ?" he asked with a confused face.
" yeah....(in a lost tone )..I mean no !..I was thinking about the decorations. Yeah ...! the design and decorations for the annual sports event and competition, like how I can make it more beautiful. "
"....ummm...okay ?"
I cover up my lie with a style of a bluffmaster. I take a peaceful breath…
" oh okay...! but you shouldn't walk like this ,this can cause an accident. If I wasn't here ,so think you been down there. Don't worry too much about it ,you're already working a lot. Come with me ,today we plan an outline of the whole event . Follow me ,I think discussing with a cup of coffee will work nice. " he says in a formal way. And I follow him with my conscience.
Even though I don't wish desperately to go on a coffee date with him, his words made me wonder, how beautifully our imagination can fool us. I thought that it was only me and him ,but as I saw his group, his friends, our co partners and half of the school there my smile left my face. Leaving a mixed look of disappointment, self embarrassment and crashing of false hopes . I don't even know why I felt like that.
We sat on the bench together away from other students and he informed us that in half an hour, we are going to announce the schedule ,in front of all the students, about the events and plans.
It was more than a panic attack, and more than astonishment. I got shocked as suddenly the fear of speech possessed my soul, however maybe he read my mind or the room, he understood it all as he could see it on my face. His eyes read my expression and he comfort me with his words,
" Don't think about it, isn't it a very big deal ? Let's revise it together. " and he explained to me expressing his belief in me and I put my heart in that work in a way , in which I never focused in my whole life. I am sure it's one of the side effects of being with him....
He was explaining to me and I was at a loss of words and his words..... ,while seeing through things, half an hour passed and we both were ready with all the self -confidence and a list of this year's event.
We take our steps together towards the stage. And get on it,and I take a grasp of my soul filled with diffidence, as everybody is watching me.
As his friends and mister Rock saw me with Adrian, they made a look that they are, so done with me; specially Katty and Ed . My audacity was held by Adrian's belief in me and with a fake confident face , I got on the mic and all eyes were on me with a pin drop silence. I looked back and there was Adrian standing with a thumbs up sign hand and a soft smile. What else anyone wants, a little support that someone is standing for you. With a satisfying smile, I boost up all my energy and place the list on the front mic attached desk .
" Good afternoon everyone, I'm Ana Rai ,a member of the organizing team. I'm here to announce the list of events and their timeline, and also the method to participate, as there is few changes.( reading from the speech given by Adrian on the paper).As we all know ,that Valmot's high school perform annual events for the entertainment and also to give value of learning sportsmanship, teamwork and creating the best from all the students.
There are three teams as always; first, 'Knights' ,secondly 'Troopers' and third team is 'Combatants'. And we have the leaders of this team , under their captaincy , their team will perform and play in enthusiastic environments. Let me introduce the captains for whom y'all have voted. The captain of knights is ....( my words stretch as I see the name who was also elected from past 4 years) .....Lucas Latina,"
And a roar of people's voices touches the rooftop with a round of an applesauce. A witty smirk appears on his face. I continued,
" The captain of Troopers is Vin Johnson," again a round of applesauce happens but the person doesn't show up ,all eyes were looking for him and even me ,because I never saw his face.
" I think ..he is not with us right now ..but he will join later and the captain of the Combatants is ( with a bright smile as I recognize the name) Adrian storm! '' And he walked in front with a cute smile and the applesauce was loud. My eyes slide at the place were his group was sitting, and I was amazed, because the loudest claps and roars was coming from there and especially from Mr. Rock, at least he is good for his friends. I continued with a smile, and the fear of speech was fading away.
" Thanks to all your applesauce and all the best to all captains.(passing a childish smile to Adrian )
From starting with the method of entering in the events, as It is known that from past years, teachers were the selectors of the team and of the players; however from this year onwards; the player and captain of the team will take this department with the act of equality and justice to all the members and to the willingly participating people. The list of events are...swimming, shooting, gymnastics, debate, Artifacts making, IQ test, portrait competition, football, badminton and relay race. The three groups will compete in these ten competitions and the one with the most winners and points will win this competition. So here I announce the 'Tyche trophy competition of Valmot's high school is open! Good luck to all, thank you all. "
