SUMMER TALE (On Hold)

Bullseye

49.50.51.52.53.54.55. and I let my lungs fill with air. Damn it I couldn't even hold my breath for 1 minute. If apocalypse breaks out I won't even survive for 60 seconds unless it is zombie apocalypse in which case I will survive like a pro, thanks to all those movies and books for sharpening my surviving skills.

You must be thinking why am I holding my breath? I am currently in my literature class with Mr.Wilson . It is so boring that I have to struggle hard not to drift off. I tried everything from pinching myself to forcing my eyelids to open by my hands but nothing worked until I opted for holding my breath. It was working well till I began to challenge myself in holding breath instead of focusing on the lecture.

55.56.57.58.59. *smack* I cursed through my breath when a paper ball hit me hard on my head and crumbled my resolution of holding breath for a minute by a second. I look around to find the culprit and there she was grining like a madman who was high. I narrowed my eyes at her, Chloe waved and turned towards the teacher ignoring my threatening glare . I picked up the paper uncrumbled it, which read 'Are you alright? You look like you are going to puke any second.' At least her intentions were good but so is mine. With an evil grin I began writing 'Perfectly fine. Was trying to test my breath holding capacity.' I crumbled the paper into a ball and aimed at my prey who was sitting two benches down from my seat. I threw the paper ball and it landed perfectly on my prey, Chloe .Bullseye. Hoorah!! Hoorah!!

I was kidding. The ball missed her, went two benches lower and landed on Austin. Whoops.
I would definitely make a great aimer . Sarcasm duly to be noted. Why Austin? Why always him? It could have landed on anybody like Joseph sitting beside him but no, it has to land on him .

I quickly ducked behind the desk, hiding from him. I waited for few minutes for the coast to get clear and when I was sure that it was clear
I slowly rose from my hiding place. I was going to do my little dance of victory when a huge and by huge I mean Huge really really huge paper ball hit me straight on the forehead.
God, that hurt like a bitch. I am 200% sure that it's made of something more than paper. I eyed my archenemy Austin with a vicious glare while he was smirking at me. Let the war begin , my friend I mean my enemy.

I tore pages after pages and my bench partner Linda who happens to be my new friend, made it into ball. After we made about 50 paper balls we began throwing it at Austin' direction. As you already know about my perfect aim, the ball rarely hit Austin but he made sure the paper balls he threw landed on me. The paper balls I threw landed on different directions hitting numerous students followed by their groans and profanities at us.

Soon the whole class was involved in the paper ball war ignoring the pleas of Mr. Wilson . We continued our paper ball war howling and giggling like lunatics until somebody hit the ticking bomb namely Mr. Wilson and it exploded.

Mr.Wilson banged his hand on the table loud enough for making the whole class silent. He looked furious , nose flaring with anger and his hair dishevelled. I would have laughed at his gorilla like appearance had he not been this angry.

"Who started this?" He shouted monetizing whole class with anger filled vision.

The class is united ,we are united. They wont chicken out and squeak my name. I know I can trust them. We are all best fri...

"Su ..Summer and Austin started this." Michelle , the class nerd blurted with whole class erupting with yeahs and yes . Chickens.

I was not the one to start this. Chloe was the one but I am not blurting her name . I am a loyal friend not chickens like them.

"......... You both will serve detention after class." With that he finished his never ending speech . If he was going to give us detention that why this long lecture? I will never understand adults.

Austin looked at me with an accusing glare while I just stuck out my tongue at him. At least my archenemy is serving the punishment with me.

------------------

"........and then I face planted on the floor ."I finished narrating my story of humiliation to Sarah , whom I met on detention room while she erupted with laughter. I was bored shitless and she seemed nice so we started talking . I mean I was talking and she was listening.

"That was hilarious." She said between her giggles. I chuckled with her ,"I have more embarrassing stuffs."

"Will you stop talking ?" Austin stared at me irritated.

"No." I deadpanned.

"You are giving me a headache shut that trap of yours ." He shouted at me . The teacher on duty went out to bring some papers so he was saved or else he was getting another detention.

"No." I gave him a sweet smile and continued with my chattering.

"I am telling you last time shut up or else .."He said in a slow threatening tone. I would be lying if I tell I was not scared but being the stubborn one I interrupted him and mocked ,
"Or else what? You will shout at me , scream at me. Oh my god !! I am so scared . I am gonna pee my pants." I laughed high fiving Sarah.

Austin stood up furious and made his way towards me with long strides. His eyes were on fire . He stood before me and stared at my lips intently. I began sweating with nervousness. He bowed down at my level and started inching towards me. At first I was stuck frozen but as my brain clicked I figured out what he was going to do . I panicked and covered my mouth with my hands and blurted in a muffled voice, "I am so ..sorry please don't kiss me."
He distanced away from me and started laughing at me with amusement in his eyes.
He quickly composed himself and uttered in a bitter tone , "You think I am gonna kiss you. Have you ever seen yourself ." He looked at my appearance with scrutinizing gaze . I was satisfied with my boyfriendjeans-and-blacktshirt look until he began looking at me disapprobation. "Even that perverted Max who gets laid with any girl he finds will not kiss you. Oh!!Sorry . I forgot that you are not a girl."

Ouchh . That stung but I wont give this douchebag the satisfaction of seeing me hurt . With the sternest face I could conjure I stood up and let out a fake laughter.
"Little Austin sorry to burst your little bubble but I have to clear up your vague speculations.
Yes , you are right no body kissed me till now but thats because I wanted it that way. I never dated but I got proposed several times but I rejected them not the other way around . I wanted to remain single . And yes I thought you were going to kiss me .Who wouldn't ? You were inches away from my face and for your information even if you were initiating kiss I would have turned you down , me covering my mouth proved that . If I want I could get kissed any time." I finished my honest outburst except getting proposed several times. Nobody has proposed me even once but Austin doesn't need to know it.

"Oh yeah?" He quirked an eyebrow ate disbelievingly.

"Yup ." I confirmed.

"Then prove it." He smirked.

"Prove it?" I questioned puzzled.

"You have 15 days to get kissed infront of me and the guy has to initiate the kiss . If you win I will be your slave for 1 month and if I win you will be my slave. " He finished with a devilish smile.

His words made me shudder with fear.If he wins he will make my life a living hell.

Sensing my discomfort he spoke again, "Are you scared?"

"No."I replied on impulse.

"So game on?"Austin extended his hand for me to shake.

Ignoring my gut feeling I let my ego win and confirmed while shaking his inviting warm hand, "Game on."
