Will you be my girl?

Chapter 4

An hour or two in the gym does wonders to me. I feel good. My body feels good and that's all I need. A good mental and physical health to live with. 

After a two hour workout sesh I came home, had the usual morning routine, and made my way towards college. Mom and Dad still hadn't come home yet. But it wasn't unusual, actually it may feel a bit odd if I actually start to spend my precious days with them. They obviously have taken their work way too seriously than their own child. 

But who am I to complain. I have everything most of the people can't have in their entire lives. Living in the city like New York, getting into one one the finest colleges in the city, my monthly expense. My maintenance. What a huge deal? Well done.. Mom Dad. 

See.. I love my parents but sometimes I really feel that all my life I've been raised all by myself. Sure there was my Granny at some part of my life. But most of the time I was alone. When I really needed my parents, they weren't just available for me. Anyway..

One thing Mom has taught me is to never be dependant on anybody. Guess she was the first one I applied her own teaching on.

While starting the car, my mind wandered to the guy with blue eyes. Ace. How is he going to college anyway. He still must not have have his car. Should I ask him to come with me? Oh no, I don't have his number. And even if you had stupid, why would he have come with you. He would have other friends, right? That concludes that you're not even friends, I think. 

Talking to him was a one time thing after all. He was annoying. He was misleading. He isn't your standard type of friend, Jen. Ok so you don't have a type, because you don't have friends. Ha.

Except Sam. And Alec maybe.. All others can't really be called as friends. Just people who I see on a daily basis. To whom I only talk when needed. The girls who doesn't like me, but put their fake smiles when I'm around. Or the guys with whom I sometimes get cosy with. What can they be called? They definitely aren't friends, not strangers either. It's not that I have a heart to heart with them. So just some acquaintance maybe. 

With that I reached college.

Today was the final rehearsals to the annual event at college. As soon as I went to the practise hall, everyone was occupied doing their own shits. There were bands practising their songs at one end. A guy with cards and sword.. What?! Okay that was supposed to do some kind of magic thingy. Girls at different points doing their regular dance routines. At one point a girl with a timer aside, was drawing.. Painting. Great. It was a nice scenario just looking at these talents. 

And then my eyes flickered on something.. I finally saw one boy in particular at faraway from the entire hall. He was actually sitting at the distant stairs opposite to the stage end where I was. It was Ace with a guitar in in hand, the fingers thrumming melodiously around the strings, creating a beautiful sound. It was so soothing, so peaceful. He wasn't singing anything yet, but the slow and steady beats on the string created a blissful melody. 

For a moment, a smile crept on my lips. It was a very beautiful thing to see all around the hall.. It was mesmerising.

"Guys, we'll be having our final rehearsal in ten minutes. Here's a final call.. all of tho.........." the guy behind the mike announced and being the anchor, I needed to be there ASAP. But not before that, Ace turned around when he saw me looking at him, and he gave me a pleasant smile. While I was already smiling. Then he smirked taking his hand on his chin he waved me hi. 

What? Did he think I was staring at him and smiling like a fool. Umm.. whatever.. I frowned and waved him back and followed my way towards the stage.

After practise we were all being seated in the college premises, just taking a break to again start. We had gotten our food takeaway so we could eat it here itself. That and also because of the drama that happened yesterday. Alia had a face full of makeup today. Everyday she did it excessively, but today I guess she had poured an extra ton on her face. She was glaring at me when I came and sat beside her boyfriend. Ex-boyfriend. But the insane girl she is,  still thinks that she's the one for him. Poor girl. He doesn't give a damn.
