The Picnic ....

" I am here ! ", Lily who just barged in out of nowhere . Sam is entering with two plastic bags . He is dressed sloppily as usual with loose trousers and faded upper . His glasses are clean though . Geez , what is wrong with me ...? Why am I noticing things that people are wearing . I hate .

" How are you , M ? " , Lily with hatred written all over her face .

" Yeah , I am fine ...." ,I answer while she roasts me with her glaring eyes .

" So you are better now ...? " , Sam .

" Yeah ..." , I said.

" Did you finish reading my novel ...? ", Sam

.

" Yeah , I did ...You can publish it ..." , I said .

" Thank God ..." , Sam with sigh .

" So , you still think science is better than all subjects ..." , Sam .

" Yeah I do ...And I also think all kinds of literature especially fiction are nothing but waste of time and in many cases money also ..." , I said .

" It means your condition is worse than before ...Let me ask you something . If you think fiction is nonsense ...Then why did you read my novel ...? " Sam .

" Because you asked me to read it and it was pretty interesting ..." , I said .

" So it is interesting but waste of time ...", Sam .

" Yeah like love is interesting but nothing more than a waste of time ..." , I argued .

" So you also think that love is a waste of time ..." , he said .

" Yeah ...Its pretty much obvious . Feelings such as love are fickle and useless . They can change easily ..." , I said .

" You know what you are the worst kind of science freak that I have met ..." , Sam .

" Calling me freak won't change the reality ..." , I said .

" Then I wish that you fall for someone so hard that you will change your strange opinions by yourself ..." , Sam , little bitterly .

" Oh please ...The only person I love is my mother because I know she is worth it ..." , I said .

" You are completely emotionless ..." , Sam .

" And you are full of irrational thoughts ..." , I spat .

" Guys , we are still here ..." , Claire .

And I notice something very weird all of the people in room were staring at us . Lucas looked in confusion because he couldn't keep up with the argument . Claire has a smirk on her pretty face while Serena doesn't have any expression on her face . She is bored while Lily is stilll scowling although her lips are clearly tickling her to laugh .

" I bet Sam especially came here because he missed these silly tiffs with her ..." , Lucas .

" I know .... He missed her so much that he often forgot to charge his phone .He kept saying to uncle and aunt that there us nothing interesting about his life anymore ..." , Lily .

" Hi , Lily ....How are you ...? " , Lucas .

" I have been here for twenty minutes now ..." , Lily .

" Yeah but I just felt nervous . I waa thinking what to say to you ..." , Lucas .

" And that us what you came up after deep contemplation ..." , Lily mocked him .

" Contem ...Contemp ...What ? ", Lucas ...."

Anyways , I was thinking we should go on a picnic since our vacations are ending ..."

" Good idea ... We can go to a park. I know a famous park of our capital city . We can all go on a picnic there ...." , Claire .

" No , I was just talking about me and ..." ,

Lucas was about to say something but Lily interrupted him .

" Yeah , we can totally do that besides M is still injured so she can't come but Serena can come . She hasn't been out of this jail since forever ..." , Lily while glaring at me .

" She can come too . I will bring her .." , Serena ...

" Why ? Our picnic will be ruined because of her .." ,Lily .

" No it won't Lily besides M needs change of scenery ...", Claire .

Strangely , no one is asking me whether I want to go or not . I look at Sam who is again staring at me ...So I ask him ..." What ? "

But in return he just ignores me .He is an idiot .

" So it is decided then next friday we are going for a picnic ..All of us will cook with our own hands ...", Claire ...

" That will be interesting . I want to see M 's cooked dish ..." , Lily.

Is it just me being insane or is she deliberately targeting me ? But why would she do that ?

" And I want to see your cooked dishes ...", Sam glaring at her ..." Oh , I am sorry ...You can't cook anything ...Can you ? ".

" What is wrong with you that was rude ? ", Lily .

" You were also rude to Myra ...", Sam argued back .

" She is so pretty and cute ...", Lucas .

" And you are so delusional ...", Claire .

Now that I think about it . All of us keep fighting with each other on one or other topic . Are we even friends ? Do friends normally fight like that ...But then again there is no fun in being normal .

ON THURSDAY : Since its winter heavy snow is falling all over the town . I don't think we can go to picnic in this harsh weather ... But somebody doesn't want to give up ....

Its Thursday evening and we are on a group video call with Lily , Serena , Sam and Lucas . Everyone agrees that we have to cancel our plans but Lily is acting like a stubborn child and still wants to go on a picnic .

" Listen to me ...Its going to be amazing . We will travel in the snow ..I always wanted to do that ...", Lily .

" But its nearly impossible ..." , Lucas ..

" How do you know ? Maybe tomorrow weather won't be harsh ...", Lily

" Alright whatever you say ..." , Lucas with soft smile .. 😊😊😊😊

" Actually it will be fun ...Let us see what happens tomorrow...", Claire .

" I am so excited ...", Lily .

" Myra , do you still want to come ...? ", Sam .

" I don't know . I am injured ...", I answer .

" Oh don't be such a party pooper . Besides if you won't come Serena will also refuse to leave that house or she can come if alone , without you if you allow her ? ", Lily .

" No , I can't ....", Serena .

" See ...Now you have become the most precious person in her life ....I hate both of you ...", Lily pouting childishly .

" You know that is not true ..", Serena with a sigh .

" Bye , guys . Let see what happens tomorrow ..", Claire .

" Yeah , bye ..." , everyone in unison as they hang up .

And I turn off my laptop and look at Serena who is sitting besides me .

" Do you want to make something for tomorrow ? ", I ask her .

" Yeah , sure ...", Serena .

" We can make french fries , sandwiches and hot chocolate ..", I said .

" Good ...But I am going to make my special dish ..." , Serena .

" What special dish ? ", I ask.

" That is a secret ..." , Serna as she gets up .

" Snow makes weather more cool than before ..." I said .

" Yeah , it has been a while since sun came out of those thick clouds ....", Serena .

FRIDAY MORNING 4 'O ' CLOCK :

Serena and me are preparing dishes for picnic . Serena is doing something with chicken. She really loves chicken . I am cutting vegetables while sitting on the chair . While Miss Maria is observing us .

" Excuse me ...Miss Myra but you are not supposed to cut vegetables like that ...", Maria as she snatches knife from my hand to show how to cut vegetables . She is doing this again and again because of which I am quite irritated but can 't say anything to her . I have to control myself she is much older than me ...
