Life of Problems

chapter 46

Mood off? I asked sitting beside Joe at a corner of school ground. He was sitting alone quietly ( so unlike him).

Why are you here? asked Joe. Aren't you studying for tomorrow?

I have been studying since morning. Thought of coming out for some fresh air. What about you? Won't you go to your room? You should study as well, after all, it's our year final exam...

I don't feel like going there. It was too harsh to say those words...

Why don't you think before saying then? I said softly. Being so hot headed isn't good. Fortunately,Jiya came out with a good advise.

Joe said lightly, yeah, her character has a natural guardianship in it. She handled well.

But you should be careful from now. Though,l don't think Nick will stay angry more than two days but everyone is not like him. Some won't forgive you even after years for ruthless behavior.

I have been splitting out my frustration on others. Joe sighed. It's turning me mad.

So what is making Mr. interesting frustrated? Wanna share?

Joe stared at me for a moment thoughtfully,as if considering me . Sister? He said slowly.

Hmm?

Do you consider me your friend?

Of course l do. Why?

What will be your reaction if you get to know that l am nothing you think l am? Will you hate me?

Ahhh..l didn't get your point,Joe.

Alright! Let me ask you clearly, said Joe in a very deep voice. What if....if l am not one of you?

Not one of us? I repeated confusedly.

What if.....l am not a human? Joe asked with a great effort.

I stared at his face for a long time. He did the same in hope of some reaction. And then l burst out laughing. You! You have been joking? I really thought you were upset! Little brat!

I kept laughing when Joe said indignantly, l am not joking! Stop laughing, okay?

You're not joking? Obviously! You're a ghost then? I asked teasingly.

What if an E.T.I? Joe asked impatiently.

E.T.l? Alien? Jiya will be more interested in your this one joke. You know, what a mad science fiction lover she is!
