Fix Me

I rushed into Akil's room full with panic and hesitation. He was on the balcony staring away at the city. I didn't know if I should disturb him from his peaceful state at the moment or just let him be and not talk to him.

I was going to talk to him.

I placed an arm on his shoulder and he turned around to see who invaded his privacy.

"Hey..." I paused, "Look I'm sorry I didn't know that you had a sis-"

"Just leave me alone."

"I'm sorry," I apologized, "Now stop being a grumpy man and say something."

He chuckled, "It's okay I just don't want to talk about it."

"You should, it'll help you get over the grief... actually the feeling of losing a loved one never goes away, at least you should try to keep only the good memories."

"True... you said you had an older brother right? What's he like? I'm sure he's glad that you're gone."

"Why would that be?"

"I mean you're so annoying half of the time it's only human he would think like that."

"Varun is a great brother, his wife is great too."

"Yeah..."

We sat in silence for a few minutes.

"You said you needed help with your homework right?"

"Yes, but it's okay I can mana-"

"I'll finish it for you, just give it to me."

"Well then thanks."

"This is only because you're great at whatever it is you do."

I just smiled. Right now I want to get over with my homework so I don't end up failing college and having to do things all over again.

"Also one last thing," I said as he looked back up at me, "Can we be friends from now on, you instead of having a nasty relationship."

"Sure Princess doesn't sound so bad."

。。。

3 weeks later.

"Pack your bags." Akil ordered.

"Where are we going?" I asked confused.

"Venice duh."

"But I already told you, I have exams and I need to study plus it's tomorrow."

"I already know, check your grades."

I logged into my school account and checked my grades.

100% in Mathematics Final year exam

100% in Phycology Concepts Final year exam

And 100% in every other test I had to take.

"Did you seriously bribe my college professors to do this!" I exclaimed, still not being able to accept the fact that I studied for tests that I already had 100s for in the gradebook.

"I mean you studied hard so you deserve that hundred percent, that's all." he turned to face the door again, "Now if there is no other objection, get packed and we leave tomorrow morning."

I nodded my head.

I didn't exactly have a choice here. I guess I've really wanted to go to Italy ever since we learned about Europe in 8th grade social studies. So maybe this trip won't be so bad after all.
