WHEN THE END BECAME HER ONSET...

3. A new mystery to discover

*School, friends, and their interests*

"Wake up, Estella wake up, it's already 7:30 am", my mom shouted while pouring a glass of water over me. I don't wake up until this unfortunate event happens to me, Huh!

" This is not fair mom", I said in an annoyed tone.

" This is fair when you're always late for school Es, now get ready fast, Samuel and Amelda have been waiting since 7:15".

I went to the bathroom to freshen up, but I was already too late today that I even didn't take a bath and change my clothes as fast as I can.

"By mom, I'm leaving", I said while pushing a piece of bread in my mouth, Sam and Amel were waiting for me. The moment I saw Sam, I started thinking that if he had read my diary. I just said hi and left for school.

It was my English class and we three had this class together. A kind of voting was going on in the class.

"Wait wait, what's going on teacher?", I shouted while entering my class.

My teacher, Miss Mason gave an unusual look at me and everyone else looked at me as if something unusual was going on, "Estella, don't you remember I told you that on Monday we would have voting for school CR?". Miss Mason said.

"Oh no, I forgot".

I now remember that some days back Miss Mason had announced the CR voting and at that moment I was so eager to participate. Now I just know how to make it up.

"Yes yes miss I do remember, but I was just confirming".

"Whatever, now just come in and participate".

I entered the class and I was also on the nomination list, so I just had to sit on the chair and request for voting me. I also told Sam and Amel to vote for me, of course, they would. I don't think others are great fans of me.

"Okay students, the results would be out in 2 days", miss Mason said while leaving the class.

Now I had a free class, Samuel went for his football practice, while Amelda and I went to the canteen. While we were walking in, a voice came from behind, "hey Estella", it was Daniel with Emily beside him.

"Hey Dae, Emily", I said in excitement.

"Do you two also have a free class? that's amazing", Emily said with a big smile on her face.

"I'm shocked too", I said while hugging her.

We all were happy because we never had a free class together. I don't exactly know the reason but sometimes it seems that we are being separated deliberately.

"By the way, how did this thing happen? I mean.....it never happened before", Amelda said.

"Yeah, but as everyone knows that voting system and all is going on, so teachers must be busy", Daniel replied.

"Es, you're also participating right?", Emily said.

"Yeah, and do vote for me".

"Of course, anyways let's sit down and have a cup of coffee, what say", Daniel said.

"Hmmm, good idea", Amelda replied with a lot of excitement.

"By the way, where is Samuel?', Emily asked.

"Well, you know the answer, "Football", as usual", Daniel replied.

We were just chilling when Samuel joined us." hey Sam, where were you?", Daniel said.

"Football practice dude", Samuel replied.

"Expected answer, you love football too much that you forgot your friends", Daniel said with a feeling of sorrow.

Sam loved football as much as people love the famous football player," Christiano Ronaldo". Maybe more than that. He's been a great fan of football since childhood and I must say that he plays like a professional player.

"Oh common guys there is nothing like that", I said with a smile. Samuel gave a great smile looking towards me...of course, I would take my bestie's side, ha-ha".

I noticed a strange thing. Sam usually sits beside me but today he sat far away from me which was beside Daniel. I wanted to ask him about this but as everyone was here, I didn't want to confuse them with this.

"By the way, how's the practice going Samuel? Amelda deliberately asked as she noticed my upset face. I gave her a cold look.

" it's great", Sam gave a short reply. I knew either he was disturbed by something or he was upset with me and I don't know for what. I had made up my mind that I would ask him about this when we leave for home.

It was 2:30 pm and schoolwork was finished. "Es come fast, I have some work", Samuel said.

"Yes Sam, let's leave", I said while picking up my backpack.

I got in his car quickly in the front seat as usual. The whole journey was quiet. The moment I tried to talk, Sam played some music and I understood that he doesn't want to talk at the moment. I was so annoyed with his strange behavior but I kept patience. He dropped me at my home and left.

"By Sam", I shouted.

He didn't even reply, he was really in a rush." I don't know what has happened to him in the last few days", I whispered.

I went in and closed the door.
