He was flipping through a car magazine, with his legs folded on the class bench, back rested on the chair his hair covering half his eyes. I was completing my assignment work on biology. None of us said a single word. I was in no mood. This was the first time he hadn’t listened to me and that was driving me nuts.
We were walking home together.
“we had football practice today” he said playing with his ball,
“And”
“we have selection tomorrow”
“so!!!”
“ I am really excited about it “ he said looking at me
“Good luck” I said without even looking at him,
Our conversation was never so monotonous we were the best of friends
last week we had our first “ARGUMENT” well he wanted to join the football team and I didn’t want him to, he is dropping his grades and joining a football team will only spoil him even more. Did I just sound like his mother, may be but I really am concerned about him.
We first met in kindergarten. When I was the cute chubby girl who was everyones favourite and he was the skinny kid with big glasses, a hunch and big teeth. Ah you can imagine what kind a kid I am talking about, the kid that has a watery nose all the time and who keeps wiping it on his sleeve…….urgh yeah but I liked him instantly I hated when other kids bullied him.
Everything changes and we too have in fact Drastically. We never had much in common, now he is every ones fav because he looks cool with 6 something height, straight hair that falls on his face and eyes to die for, but the best thing is he is so cool no attitude issues at all . he loves cars and of course football. When we were small he would sit and watch other kids play they wouldn’t let him join because offcourse he wasn’t good at anything and people didn’t want to loose. Now he is really good at the game and I am a dead sure he will be selected.
“kayyyyyyyteeee, I got selected” he comes singing jumps on my bed and starts dancing
Gosh this guy
“were you doubtful about it”
“Nah!! Just a little”
“so now give me a treat”
“yeah sure” he said fixing his skates
“are you going to skate to the ice cream parlour while I walk”
“yeah sure”
“well that’s not going to happen”
“fine ill take them off then”
“that’s like my boy” I said patted his head when he bend down to remove them he looks up and smiles showing all his teeth. huh
The ice cream parlour is closeby just a five minute walk from our place.
It is parlor is our favorite place no matter what happens one ice cream and I am smiling, seriously it is one magical thing.
We were having our ice cream and my flavor today was butterscotch and his chocolate we love to try all the possible flavors , we were happily chatting he was talking about his father buying a new car and how excited he was. His father was also a car geek the father son duo had everything in common like you say “like father like son” just like that.
All of a sudden I remember I was mad at him, I seriously can’t stay angry for a long time you know
“so Jim you promised you are not going to miss classes and no bunking school right”
