Walk Out On

Chapter 3: Knock,Knock? Whose there? Someone new

"Sweet serendipity... that unexpected meeting that changes your life"

We meet so many people every day, whom changes our lives in different way.

Right? Of course I am right as you are silently agreeing to this. :) enjoy!

Do you remember the classic fortune paper craft teller? That was the "THING" back in those days. The classic thing where you tell others their fortunes for life and as hilarious as it can get, for "LOVE" and your mere "CRUSHE'S". I remember just crushing on the cute guy I saw on the street, next thing you know, crushing on someone in school is the most cliché thing I, oh wait, we do in our basic lives. But that is part of "scho-eality" meaning "school + reality", I know its lame but it makes total sense. I was shaken up from my own thoughts when Vicky was shaking me back to the room, back on the bed and mostly, back to her conversation.

"I'm here telling you the whole story from A-Z and you are in wonderland" said at me grumpily. "Actually, I was in Neverland" trying to humor her but failed badly. "Sorry Vicky, go on I promise my ears and thoughts are 100% on you now, you may begin your story, your highness". Smirking at me with an addition of an eye roll, she began.

"So it was last week I think, I got a text from an unknown number, but I replied to it, I know what you are thinking, I am idiot, yeah yeah I know. I replied because he started "hey I'm the guy who you saw staring at you that day at the beach, and the one you stared back", Vicky said in a jumpy way. Unbelievably, I stared at her with a "one eye-brow raised" look.

As far as she told me, I feel like she just dug every bit and thread of his life and poured it on me. Apart from him, there was one thing that did definitely get my attention, he has a best friend. Not to be mean or anything, that's the only thrilling one that got to me from her story, but what can I say I possess the "mean" side so well. So let me get this straight, Vicky's minor crush's name was "Stephan" and the oh so one I wanted to know was, "Erik". Pshh hah fancy name much, I said to her, she totally agreed.

As per my observation and Vicky's talk on about them, I have finalized them as major "players". Personally, I don't have a taste for people like them, I see them as people who gets a pretty Barbie and when their time and need is over, just throw her and go get themselves another new one. A bit, ruthless, shameless etc, my whole mean word dictionary might open up so let's keep it short. But then I respect and accept what Vicky decides and want, I support her at her everything. So I barged myself in for this one as well.

++++++++++++++++++++

It was Monday, finished school early and most of the time I just go to Vicky's place. Oh yeah, forgot to mention we live almost together, but like neighbors. The moment she saw me, dragged me to the room, and was like" he asked me out and wants to meet up with me and see me, you know?" ended with an enthusiastic tone.

"So what's the plan? I hope you have one smarty-pants "I sigh at her. She gave her "you-know-i-got-a-plan-for-everything" smile at me. All I did was smile back as I knew, I'm landing myself in something idiotic and stupid.

She cleared her throat," we are going to the library" she started explain. And I'm here dumbfounded, "I'm sorry did I hear that right or did I just slip and fell on the floor and hit my head". Of all places, the freaking library". Sad life. Apparently there is a park that's connected to the library itself, so we just hang out there. As easy as it sound, I said to her, "what's the excuse for our parents, clearly you can't say you going on a date" I nudged her.

She sat on her bed with her thinking face, "we will say, we are going for research for our own projects, I'll take "Biology" and you take "History" I guess". "So can I use you as bait to convince my mom and in return I'll be bait to convince your dad" I said in an innocent way. And we had a deal.

+++++++++++++++++++

It was Thursday, the official day Vicky went to meet Stephan and poor me, who followed behind. So Vicky was able to successfully mesmerize my parents in a satisfying way that they agreed to it, as it was named for "studying". I on the other hand, stuttered a bit here and there but got her dad to be okay with it and he himself volunteered, okay not volunteer, he said he will drop us there. No choice, nope, none.

"What am I supposed to do, when you go off with him?" I asked her giving a questioned look. "Don't worry, Erik will be there to company you" smiling at me. Well, this is bound to be awkward as hell. After we reached there, we went in to the library, waited behind the glass door, as it was tinted, you really can't see the inside from outside. We waited until Vicky's dad left, and Vicky was on guard to see her dad go and on update for the boys. "He left, where are you both?" she texted him as I was peaking on to her phone. "We are waiting for you near the sitting area behind the library" I read the replied text to her.

We walked out, on alert as this was very risky and dangerous, we can get grounded for life if we get busted. I'll be on lock down within my own home, oh the horror. We quickened our pace and reach to that place which he mentioned, and a tall guy approached us behind him was a guy, a cute guy.

No let me say it right, HE IS HOT OMG. Totally on "crush-mode" now.

The tall guy which I assumed was Stephan, which I guessed right said "hi" to Vicky and looked at me and was like "Hi, I'm Stephan, and you must be Vicky's cousin Sara". And without a doubt, I say "yes you are absolutely right" giving my friendly smile back. Then he who-i-was-currently-crushing-on came forward as said, "Hey, I'm Erik, nice to meet you and in a gentlemen way shook my hands. Well, that's cute.

So they both went off, leaving me with HIM. And all Stephan said was, "So you both just walk out, okay?" and went off. And simultaneously we said, "Okay". Oh my god, this was so awkward, I am naturally bound an extreme shy person, I am not the lively, open up type, I open up to the people I know personally, so I just followed him. After some time, he broke the awkward silence, thank god.

"So what do you like? Tell me your preferences and all" he said and looked at me. "Uhm, I like cats, I love to draw and sing and all that, what about you?" I say in a stupid way and I blushed. What the hell, and on top of it, why was I saying all this to him, oh right I have a crush on him. Goddammit!

We had a casual talk, I guess. Well, it took the couple almost forever to come back. I felt sleepy just sitting with Erik, with all that hotness even. Eventually, they did come back from their walk from all over the world, about time they reach here. After the goodbyes and farewell, Stephan is a nice guy, a sweet guy, a good human being and so was Erik, I think. He gave a dazzling smile and waved us goodbye and departed their way.

As for us, we both went to the library did "rush hour" research so that we can have some proof of research for our parents, and called for our picking up. All the way back, the journey Vicky was smiling and all happy and my mind was all about "Erik", which was really truly bad.

Why you may ask, well because, I have a boyfriend currently... oopsy..
