55. MY FRUSTRATION

Communication is one of the best gifts that were given to humans . Those who can communicate are most successful of all the people in world . But I am not very good at it . Then how did Claire come to this conclusion that I am good at negotiations where communication plays key role .

We are in the Commerce class of 12 th graders .Serena has dragged me with her . When I see Jeremy he is sitting on his bench talking to other students . Many boys and girls are gathered around him for some reason . He is smiling . But he stopped smiling as soon as he saw us coming towards his bench .

" Jeremy we want to talk to you . ", Serena .

" Why do you want to talk about ....I haven't forgotten how you defeated me in front of everyone . ", Jeremy .

" So you like to hold grudges at petty things . ", Serena .

Oh snap , Serena is losing her control . She is very bad with negotiations .

" Is this your idea of talking ? ", Jeremy .

" You started it . ", Serena .

Ok that is enough I have to step in .

" Actually we just came with a request . ", I said in a polite manner .

" Really ? What kind of request ? ", he asked in cocky voice.

I swear I want to strangle him to death right now . Who does he think he is ?

" Its fine Myra . I changed my mind . We don't need him . ", Serena while holding my hand .

" Let us go . ", Serena .

Now we are leaving . Looks like we just came here to have a tour of 12 th class .Commerce students are really vulgar . I don't understand how that Jeremy guy is so popular . He looks like a duplicate of Joker . He is irritating .

" We will find out something on our own . ", Serena as I am going inside my class .

" How ? We need members for our club . ", I said .

" We have people to do that . Claire , Lucas and Lily we will ask them to join our club . ", Serena .

" Its a club not a forum , right ? ", I asked .

" Yeah its a club named ' Anti - bullying forum ' ", Serena .

Strange name . Its like naming dog as cat or vice versa .

" Hey , I thought you hadn't come to school today . ", Amara .

" Hello . ", I said .

" What do you think about that girl Nora ? You know I have heard that she was a bad person who used to bully people around her and broke the hearts of man boys around here . ", Amara .

" Why does it matter ? She is dead . So let us refrain to talk about her . ", I said .

" But don't you think she was a little hypocrite who killed herself because ---", Amara .

" Amara stop you are making me quite uncomfortable . ", I said .

" Fine I will stop but don't you think that ----", Amara .

" I said stop ! Please ! ", I shouted little louder than I invented .

Geez , I am surrounded with weird people around me . First it was Sam and now its Amara . Both of them like to spout nonsense . I hope I would never see him again .

But I think God must have decided to play a prank on me because Sam is standing right next to Serena near our car . He is discussing something with her . Well, at least school is over and now I can go home .

" You have to form proper strategy to do that ---", Sam .

" You are not asking him advice over anti- bullying forum , are you ? Because I don't think its a good idea to ask advice from someone like him who lacks empathy . ", I said in a rude tone because I want to make Sam realise that he is wrong . People who don't care about others are not humans .

I thought he would say something but instead he is just staring at me with incomprehensible expression .

" What are you talking about ? Why not ask him ? Sam is the most intelligent person in this school . ", Serena .

This time I decide not to say anything and sit in the car waiting for Serena to come inside and drive me somewhere far away from this school . I don't want to be here anymore . This place is suffocating .

The picture of Nora is flashing through my mind again and again . Man, its depressing . I should think about something else . Yeah I haven't thought much about the toy car which I am going to design but most probably it will run on AI or machine learning devices . I have to learn about machine learning too. I think I should take AI courses for that ....

I am home . I will now have some rest in my bedroom . No , I haven't shifted to my old bedroom yet .

Miss Maria is here . She will ask me to eat something .

" You are home , Miss Myra . Why don't you have some food ? ", Miss Maria .

" No , I am not hungry . I will be in my bedroom . ", I said .

" No, Miss Myra . You should not stay angry for a long time . Come have some food . You are still growing . You need nutrition to be a healthy adult . ", Miss Maria .

" No, Miss Maria . I don't want to eat anything . ", I said sternly . I was again rude . I can sense that Miss Maria is hurt . Her eyes are down . Damn , why did I do that ? Why am I so cranky today ?

" I am sorry Miss Maria . I really am . I didn't mean to hurt you . Seriously . ", I said .

" No need Miss Myra . After all I am just a lowly servant . ", she said with heavy voice .

" Don't say that . I am really sorry . Let us eat food together , okay ? ", I insisted .

Then she just nodded and went into kitchen .

Man , I need to control my temper . I am going to hurt someone . I have to do something to prevent that ....

Finally , I am in my room . I ate food but it was hard to swallow . I think its all because I am disturbed about that girl Nora committing suicide . I need to stop thinking. But it is really strange . If she looked so happy then why did she committed suicide . Why? Amara ? Did Amara know her somehow ? What if Amara had something to do with her suicide ?
