Chapter 111 - ExamDay 2 (1/2)
Next morning was just horrible in many horrifying ways. Firstly, Mathematics and Computer Science in respective time slots. Secondly, Less time I got to cover up the subjects and recover myself. Although he helped me a lot with maths the last night but still I feel like I'm forgetting. Then comes constant calls and messages from the morning from Sky, Lacy and Gray...
Sky called me up and was asking me about some questions. And I had less time to catch the train. I caught the train and came to college with Lacy. There I called up Gray to bring my Maths copy that had gone inside his bag by mistake.I came in few minutes. I took my copy from him and he left. Actually he lives near the college in an apartment. And I came 2 hours before the scheduled hour for the exam. When the time was close I and Lacy went upstairs. Lacy was still chatting with Brother Henry about their plan to meet and have a feast together. I went upstairs only to find Sky welcoming us. As we sat on the stairs Sky was fondling playfully with Lacy's hair to irritate her. She had less hair and so overconscious about her hair. I on the other side felt angry and jealous.I was thinking,”Is my hair not beautiful and curly enough to play with? Why is he playing with Lacy's silky hair? ”
I was so angry that I caught Sky's and said him to leave her hair. But he misunderstood it completely. He again thought me to be a protector of Lacy and with that he took an awkward gaze at me. My hand slipped at his gaze and he again played with her hair despite Lacy's continued nagging. Being unable to control my anger and hidden tears borne out of jealousy I stood up and found a corner to go through the notes. I was going through the formulas at the same time pondering over his obvious awkward gaze. The chill I had never felt before. The suppression, the anger and my silent tears accompanied with jealousy made me even more dejected before the exam. I was quietly going through the notes.He came to me and was telling, ”Isn't it too hot today? ”
”Nope, It's sharp. ”
”What do you mean? It's so hot that I can't even take the handkerchief off my face. ”
”I see. Yeah it's hot. ”
”Why are you giving vague answers Sunny? ”
”It's nothing. We are having an exam in few minutes. It's just I'm a bit nervous. Nothing else. ”
”Oh I see. ”
The warning bell rang. I kept my bag and entered the Hall. The moment I was inside the hall I was relieved. At least I didn't need to see him for some hours. I gave the exam and came back to revise for the second half. This time I felt really hot. I felt terrible with my hair all grown too much and even more problematic to handle since it's too curly.
I and Lacy were going through computer class notes. Sky came in and he asked, ”How was your exam? ”
”It is fine until nothing goes wrong. How was yours? ”
”Umm.. mine was fine just like you! ”
”I see. Today's weather is quite sultry. ”
”I told you! ”
”My hair is making it more difficult for me to sustain in this heat. ”
”Cut off your hair and become bald. It will be perfect for you. ”
”What? I won't. You will be bald. You cut your hair first then I will see to mine. ”
”Trust me. It will be the best for you. Money for shampoo and conditioner and what other stuffs you all girls use to maintain your hair? will all be saved. And with that amount treat me food. ”
”Just keep your mouth shut and start reading. ”
”How can I read by keeping my mouth shut? ”
”Ugh..Sky! you are now irritating me... Just read it mentally. ”
”I didn't irritate you. I am just asking you. ”
”Enough! Happy. Now study. ”
”Granny and Nagging. ”
”Who is the granny? ”
