His Last Gift

R

Within few minutes a teacher came, “Students, Good Morning, My name is Albert. And I want each people to introduce about yourselves to your friends right now!” he said.

“Let’s start from the last” he fingered at him, the one near me.

He stood like a statue, with no reaction he said “Well, my name is Riley Vortegern, I am a local guy and I am to start about my own business.” He ended up and his voice was like a lullaby.

And now it is my turn, I stood up and at least now I can feel that he is staring at me.

“My name is Maria, and I am from Chennai and planned to carry on my dad's business.” I said and Sat. Now his look turned away. And the rest of the people continued.

I think I should start up the conversation.
So I start to began.

“Hey!” I said. “Hi, How you doing?” he asked. Unexpected.

“Umm, doing great. You?” was my question.

“Ultimately!” he responded.

“Where do you live?” he questioned. His eyes were glowing so I can’t distract from him.

“I live in  Greene street.” I replied.

“Oh, Okay" he said.

When he turned towards me, I saw a small pendent below his throat, usually girls wear it but he did.

May be someone would’ve gifted him. “Riley" I called him but he suddenly stopped me.

“Call me R” he said.

“R? Alright. Where were you from. Your name sounds different!”

“A Local guy, but I was born in NYC and stayed there till 2017.” He said with a dark smile. His teeth were like pearls. So what I nodded.

“Reason me, why are you here?” he investigated.

“Well, Umm, it’s my native, and my dad shifted here" I ignored.

“Cool, I will not be here for two days" he said by keeping his hands in his cheeks and balancing into the table.

And he continued.

“If you don’t mind, will you update me with our class works?” he asked.

“well, sure. But why?” I asked.

“Complicated” was his reply.
