Chapter 10- My day with presents

My head hurts!!!!

These were the first three words that entered my mind as soon as I woke up from God knows how many hours of sleeping.

I tried to open my eyes but the morning light was so painful that I could hardly manage to do that.

Oww.. My butt is aching. God!! This is what I get just after waking up!!

Right now, I should be lying on my oh-so-comfy bead back at home and not getting my butt hurt. If only I would have stayed back…

My train of thoughts was interrupted by a splash, wait not a splash, but a massive, giant flood of cold water.

“Aahhhhhh!!!” I screamed and immediately began standing up, only to slip and finally land on my butt.

Shit! I think I might have broken a bone. I was badly trying to open my eyes, trying to adjust them to the light, when I was interrupted by an evil laughter (really really scary laughter).

Finally my eyes fluttered open and what I see is not a good sight.

Jane is shaking with laughter with a bucket in her hand and I am just staring at her, like I am a lion who hasn’t eaten for days and finally sees its prey.

I am so pissed off right now.

Just when I was about to open my mouth to give this girl a really harsh comment, she extended her hand out and said,

“Good morning sleepyhead. Get up now, come on.”

Did she really just say that to me, in a polite manner?

No. Not possible.

She caught the bewilderment on my face.

“What? Are you getting up or what? I can't stand here all day!”

took her hand and stood up, with my butt still aching.

Then I realized where I was sleeping, the cause of this utterly painful morning- the hard floor beneath.

Yeah. I slept here last night.

The memories flooded back to me. Last night, I had saved myself from that guy and his ‘deal’. I had ran out of his room and then all I could manage was to confuse myself because of so many doors. My legs had given up. I know I need to increase my stamina!

So instead of just running here and there, my brilliant mind had come up with the idea of sleeping there only, in the lobby. And, that’s how I landed here..

“Bla bla bla bla bla” 

“What!” I uttered.

“You look like a pig right now, all soaked up in water.” Jane said.

I gave her a glare.

Then, I remembered that she was the one who had thrown water all over me.

“Care to tell why you did this?” I said pointing to my soaked figure.

“Oh that! Haha haha… haha.. You know all your friends tried to wake you up in the morning around 4 hours earlier and all you did was slapping your hands at whoever tried to wake you up. So, they decided to pick you up and at least put you on a bed. But, you are so heavy hahaha…haha they couldn’t manage to do that and finally decided to leave you here. And, you know I am such a good human being that I decided that I should wake you up. So, here you are -awaaakkeee.”

Jane finished her saga.

“Oh.” This was all I could say.

Realizing that she was the one who had succeeded at the task of bringing me out of my deep sleep and also because she spoke a polite sentence to me, I was not pissed at her now.
