Now that I looked back , I was halfway through the year. Classes had begun long back and exams had become a routine. I was still without a roommate. No complains though ! I liked my time alone but like any other person I often felt homesick.

And.... Heartsick ?

Hush. Say no more....

After Nicky had left , nights had left me tossing and turning in bed. Not used to the feel of being alone , I sat late into the night on my computer doing what any other teenager does : watching movies , looking out for universities, reading about the marine life , reading otherwise, mailing my friends and family, movies again. I enjoyed sleeping long after the moon came up.

One such night, I was checking my emails when a one from NatGeo made me look up. A mail just meant one thing : Either I was accepted or I was not. At that moment, it certainly seemed like my life depended upon it.

Greetings Reyna.
The photographs sent by you followed by the report is appreciable and on the way to exemplary. We are proud to let you know that you have been accepted. Details have been emailed. All the best. Keep clicking !

Although I was a bad dancer (horrible actually) I jumped from my bed and did a happy dance. A dance with happiness as the music !

I quickly logged in and typed a quick mail to Nicky. She deserved it after all ! As I was typing , a mail popped up in my inbox. I checked the time to see if I had time to stay up late but the name made me forget everything. Made my heart run into a gallop.

Kurt !!

K: Hi munchkin ! Up so late ?

Munchkin. He called me munchkin !

R: Hey ! Yeah ... Was working on my reports. Got accepted into NatGeo yay !
K: Whaat ?! I knew you would make it. I so knew it ! The photos are awesome honestly... Nicky showed 'em.

Thank heavens he wasn't here in person. Why was I blushing so much anyway ?

R: Thanks.
K: Hmm..
R: Soo ... Got a girl ? ;)
K: I have you :p
R: Stop flirting :p
K: Haha okay. Well ... No. Come back Rey. I miss you.
R: Sure ... I miss you too.

I logged off. I didn't want to make myself miserable.

Heartsick you mean ?

Oh shut up !

Only when things were getting better !
