The Birthmark (#Wattys2016)

Close

"What are you really taking Sylvester's words seriously?" I ask with a frown. She rolled her eyes and stated,"It's but obvious. You want to have sex with me, right?"

I guess why do women act so dumb at times. I mean, come on. If something goes in their dumbass mind, then, no matter how hard you try, you can't take that thing out of their mind. It stays there forever. Glued!!

"Look, don't take this offensively, but I think you are hot." I said gathering some courage and trying to escape the situation. She narrowed her eyes, as if I have asked her to marry me. Ignoring the glare from her, I continue,"Not only me, everyone in class thinks you are hot. Sylvester too. He asked me whether I find you hot or not. I nodded in agreement. So I think, this is the reason, why he asked this question."

I noticed, that the blank expressions on her face slowly started converting into a happy and blushed one. She started smiling and said to herself,"I am hottt." And smile covered her face. It looked pretty.

We talked over the matter for some minutes with me trying to press the situation. After getting successful, I remind her of the movie. Her eyeballs grew in size, indicating that she remembered about the movie. We rushed to the mall. On the way, I messaged Sylvester,"You son of a bitch. We will be there in another 10 minutes. You guys head inside. This will probably be your last movie." I was way too mad on Sylvester. Asshole.

We reach the mall at last. I saw Chris standing right outside the mall with our tickets. He waved at us. We headed towards him. From far itself, I could see frown on his face. He was mad at us, I could make it out. And I bet one thing. Even if I explain all the guys the story of how we got late, it's me, who is gonna get fucked up. It's me who is gonna hear the yelling and screams.

The three of us race to the multiplex inside the mall. In no time, we were inside. We enter the hall and move towards our seats. I saw all the guys looking at me in anger and staring at Sandra in amazement. I just ignored and sat down. And the girl sat beside me. But not only me, she had Chris at her next side.

We missed the initial moments of the movie, thanks to Sandra and her dumbass brain. Still, I understood the remaining part with ease.

The winter soldier started off brilliantly in the movie. The dramatic action scene on the boat was way too amazing. I could see Sandra enjoying the part to the fullest. Her hazel eyes were glowing in front of the bright screen. It was better to watch her then, to the watch the movie.

The thing I loved about the movie was the breathtaking shield twist. It was spectacular. And I don't even think that I should get started about the titular hero. Chris Evans was at his best in the role. The most shocking moment was when they revealed that Bucky was the winter soldier. It gave me a stunning surprise.

To sum it up, the movie is a non - stop action spectacle. Worth watching.

We all got up from our seats. Everyone enjoyed the movie to the fullest. But, it was Sandra who enjoyed the movie to its best. While heading out of the mall, I saw her face, all glowed up in happiness. She had a big smile on her face. Enough to indicate, that she loved the movie.

"It was way too awesome, right?" Shane asked. Sandra replied,"Hell yeah. The movie of the year." She screamed. All were laughing for moments. Then, it was decided to have some snacks at the restaurant inside the mall. The mall was a giant one. With more than 50 restaurants and 3 mega halls, it sparkled out to be the best mall in the area.

We all had a gala time. Hearty laughs followed dirty and gross jokes. It was fun. And shockingly, all the time, Sandra was sitting right next to me. In matter of no time, she became a very good friend of mine. We chattered a lot. She laughed and I smiled. She pulled my cheeks and I blushed.

"You are soo cute." She said while pulling my cheeks for the third consecutive time. "I know right? I was born cute." I chuckle a bit while saying the sentence and Sandra laughs a bit.

It was night now, and we decided to head home. Patrick and Chris were busy finding some new topics to chat with Sandra. While, Shane and Shawn realized that Sandra wasn't their piece of cake. So they were busy talking with me and Silly about the next day's practical in college.

After some 15-20 minutes, Sandra, me and Silly were on our way home. It was winter time in Mumbai. Cool breezes were flowing across the city which never sleeps. It was just a lovely weather.

"Funny and a lovely day, wasn't it?" Sylvester asked with a smile on his face. "Yep. The best day of the month. Let's take a pic of us." Sandra said immediately picking out her phone from her pocket. In matter of time, we took many funny pics of us. It was funny. Around that time, few people were there on the road. And it was like an highway. Trees on both the sides and road perfectly clean.

Perfect time for a walk with lovely people.

We talked a lot while enjoying the walk. And then, it was time for us, to bid goodbye. Sandra gave me a huge goodbye smile. I did the same. And then there was an intense eye stare. For moments my eyes were piercing through her eyes. It was the most sweetest thing to me that happened that day. Then, cold wind brought us both in the present and she left with a smile. I opened the door of my house and entered in.

Late in the night, I was imagining about the sweet and lovely moments that I had spend with Sandra in the day. I don't know why I was feeling so good. I knew, that I like her, but the feeling and happiness that I was witnessing was something more. Something, close to the heart.

I was about to close my eyes, when my phone made a noise, indicating that I got a message. I opened it up, to see a message that brought a smile on my face. A message that made my day.
