ANOTHER CHANCE

Exited about nothing

We were on our way back home. Austen was driving while I was looking out through the window. I turned to look at Austen whose gaze was fixed on the road. I bent down and rested my head on his shoulder and he gently kissed my forehead asking me if I was alright. I just nodded and closed my eyes.

“Austen?” I called out more like a question. “Ya.” He answered still driving. “When did you make the painting?” “The day we went to the carnival. As soon I reached home I took out a canvas sheet and started to work on it. I was planning to give it to you the day I finished but I thought to get the painting converted into a canvas and sent it to the guy who could do it perfectly. The canvas came back on the day we were at the café.” He answered. I opened my eyes and smiled moving back to sit in a proper position so I could see him. “Why didn’t you give it to me on that day?” I questioned to which he raised an eyebrow. “I didn’t know if you would like it, soo…. I asked Liana bout it and she said you would love it. I guess she knows you better.” I was surprised, “She knew about all of this?” He nodded. “Yes and she was the one who helped me plan all of this.” He answered. I smiled and said, “And all this while I thought that you two couldn’t bear each other’s presence.” He chuckled, “It’s not like you don’t like it when we fight with each other. I know you love it.” I nodded, “I love it because I know when I need you, you both will always stand for me and support me. I like seeing you guys fight because I know that these fights makes your friendship even more stronger.” He smiled and nodded his head.

“Bye.” Austen told as I entered my home sweet home. I went to the kitchen to search for my mom but there I found my best friend attacking on my chocolates while reading a book called, some book I don’t know. Uhhh… I so damn hate her for stealing my delicacies. “Ahem….. mind sharing my chocolate with me??” I asked her sarcastically. She looked at me and waved her hand asking me to come there. “Yeah sure! Wait….” She said stopping me midway, “Why are you glowing like a 220V bulb? Did you guys get naughty? Don’t tell me you did it on the grass cause I remember that I never arranged for a couch or a bed. Shit!!!!!! Ella how could you….!!! You are still 17, you are still not legal to have…..” “Shut up!” I screamed on top of my voice to stop her which she did immediately. I moved forward, “Why didn’t you tell me about your planning on ‘my kidnap date’?” and asked her. “Cause it was a surprise and surprises are meant to be kept all hush hush and not ‘ you know we planned a surprise for you and it goes like this.’” She said in a matter of fact tone. “So, how did it go?” she asked me wriggling her eyebrows and I told her everything, from A to Z, everything.

When I came to the kiss part she started jumping and said, “I want details. I want details till the last piece of it. Tell me about it. How did you feel? How did it go? Was there an explosion in your heart? Come on fast, tell me.” My mom came into the kitchen with a coffee mug in her hand and came to sit down on the stool at the counter.
“Care to tell me why is so much screaming going on in this house? And Liana, stop jumping like a kangaroo. ” she asked and took a sip of her coffee. Liana went and sat at her previously occupied seat. Mom took another sip of her coffee only to spit it out with a “She did what?” and a confused look on her face when Li said, “Your girl over there had her first kiss.” pointing towards me. As if unable to believe what she had just hear she asked, “Sorry, what? Come again she did what.” And I told the entire story for the second time in a day.

After I finished the story she started which I thought would be a lecture that I was too young for all of this but then I came out like this, “OMG! This is so exiting! Wohhh…. I’m gonna become an old grandmother sitting on a rocking chair near the fire place and knitting sweaters for my daughters little cuties.” At this Liana and I gave each other a glare before Li started laughing her ass off, falling down from the chair. “Mom. Just. Stop. It.” I said slowly making sure she shut her all jolly behavior. Ya sure, my mother was different from all the mothers around the world. I used all kinds of words in front of her and she openly discussed about them in front of me. She was like those cool moms the show in movies. She was the best mom ever possible on Earth.

She sat down on her stool, “I want details.” She said. “Me too.” Liana joined finally getting up from the kitchen floor. “Ok both of you.” I said pointing at them. “Stop it right now. It was a kiss. Not anything more ok. And you follow me”, I said pointing towards Liana who got up from the stool and waved to my mom a goodbye and mouthed ‘I’ll tell you all bout it later’ at which I mom mouthed ‘I’ll be waiting’

****************************

I went into my room silently but as soon I was in I was all ready to tear Liana into pieces, “What just happened down?” I asked her as she gave me the ‘no one is more innocent than me in this whole entire world’ and I started laughing. “I really have a cute best buddy.” I said opening my arms for her to hug me, which she did.

After sometime Liana decided to go home and I decided to go to bed. It was a long day and the second time in the same week I bunked school for, but then the day was worth it. I took my iPhone from the bed side table and saw a message from Austen which said, ‘ Good night. Sleep well.”

I reclined on my bed and within a few minutes sleep took over me.

********************************

I was sitting in class messaging Austen when a stranger came my way. He came and stood next to me and pointed towards the empty seat, “May I?” he asked I was about to tell him that he could when Ethan came in, “No dude, you may not. That place is already booked by me, well from now onwards.” And he sat there, next to me. The stranger looked a little angry but then looked at me and gave me a smile and walked away.

I turned towards Ethan, “What are you doing here? I thought that your first period was English.” He nodded before answering, “Yup it was English until today cause I got thrown out of the hell hole.” I smiled, “And may I ask why so?” I asked. He rolled his eyes and answered, “Cozzee the teacher asked us to write about something we liked in her class and I wrote that I liked her most in the class.” I started laughing, “And w-why did you do that?” I asked him trying not to laugh but failing miserably each time. He scratched the back of his neck and answered, “I thought she would give me some extra marks.” And now I couldn’t control it, I just couldn’t. He tried to butter Mrs. Crania Faewell the most dangerous English teacher ever known to the whole entire school. NO DAMN WAY.
