DUSK TILL DAWN

Ep:6 - "Isnt Dawn rich?"

A day in the school bus, the fresh air touching my moist face felt heavenly. The sights outside - children wandering, aunties gossiping and students on the way to schools and collages. All was amazing, sitting in back window seat of the bus is like taking a break from all the worries of life and going with the flow. This feeling of carelessness for which I always wish for, jealous of the people who had this quality and even falling for them was all I ever wanted. Lost in thoughts, I failed to notice that the bus had reached the school gate.

I was brought back by the teasing, almost screaming of Shine saying,“Look Dawn is waving his hands!” we turned back to look when he who was walking, gestured to skylar that ‘how he has no shame sitting alone between girls?’. (Skylar was hilariously the only senior boy in the bus). We all laughed it off, when all of them turned back, he sticked his tongue out to mock me. Annoyed me, did the same to know that the teachers were watching me and he did this to get me in trouble. 

I was lost in the anger of that event that I couldn't focus on my studies that day but I for one part got to knew that Aisha and Ace were dating? right infront of my nose. Those couple rings, talking alone together in the corridors while him leaning against her. I was of mixed attitude towards this situation, I was happy that cupid had done another work and he is going to get promoted while on other hand I was sad for Aheera as she expected too much from him, she was heart broken. She abused herself for God knows why? I couldn't stay in peace seeing her this state as I told her we could come up with a plan to break them apart.

Next day it was, a day of exam and I missed bus so I had to go by dad's car. Assuming that he had kept my bag in the car, I hooped on. Which was the biggest sweet mistake I ever did, so we had to stop midway during the journy and get my bag, after all his mess I was 15 minutes late to school so was Dawn, the principal was scolding him which gave me the chance to escape as she hadn't seen me late yet but I didn't, l choose to fall into hell.

She scolded us together, when she asked me,“ what did you eat for breakfast?” I said,“I forgot”. She was pissed off and I liked that so did he,  her adamant character was annoying, I always wanted to give replies to her disrespect and I did so - what relief I got? with much heated argument with me, she lost one by one and finally let us go to our respective classes.

Few days after, I had annual day practise. It was a skit relating mother's love and I had to wear old age cloths for that. It was a Saturday so NCC students had practise, so many of our actors were absent. So I had to sit in auditorium, monitering the works of lower classes when I say Dawn and a girl together, they were chit chatting. It was his girl bestfriend, I knew her she was a mother like figure to younger me, but he was being so touchy with her that I literally felt to kill both of them.

I distracted myself from them, and focused more on helping the younger children practising. After some times, it was lunch time so I went outside when tim said to dawn louder enough for me to hear that,“ see adrien, dawn is soo cute” as they laughed it off. I wasnt bothered so he said again,“ have you seen how jealous she was? she looked red like a chilli” as dawn said,“yea she is soo dumb too”. When it clicked me, they were playing all along.

I slowly stormed away when he said again to annoy me,“ Isnt dawn rich?” as dawn replied,“come baby, I will give you treat”. I sarcastically spitted on the floor to show them that I disagree everything they said now.
