The sun peeked shyly from behind the grey clouds,as if seeking protection. It was a gloomy day,again. Staring outside the window,Zuveria sighed. She hated it when the sun didn't show up in the sky,shining its hopeful rays upon the people.
"I dont feel like going to class today." She sighed.
"But you will have to,you missed the lectures yesterday too." Her friend argued. Her piecering black eyes stared intensely at the paper in front of her. Zuveria smiled and said
"Yes,yesterday was fun. We roamed around for a bit and I got to know my new friends a lot better. So yes,yesterday was great." She didn't look at her friend while saying it. Sonia considered her for a moment before returning back to her paper and said drily,"Alright if that's how your day really went,then good for you.
Zuveria sighed again. She stared gloomily at the stack of boring books lying on her desk. The books were like sone hideous monster which she had to battle,but she was weak.
"Yes,its only natural that I should be weak. After all,I am a pink." She thought mechanically. They were only taught the importance of their lyon,nothing else. She didnt want to believe it,but what could she do,she was only one person after all. Yesterday was a bad enough day, today might be worse.
Sonia took the necessary books, gestured to zuveria to come along.
"Do I really have to?",she asked desperately.
Sonia sighed and murmured,"Not this again." She shook her head and continued,"Zuveria,its your decesion. I won't decide for you. I don't see what the problem is,anyway?" Her green lyon bobbed up and down in approval.
"I.... am a pink,you know." Zuveria said hesitantly,as if this will answer all the questions.
"I knew it," Sonia murmured.
"Deal with them, you can't keep on letting them get to you. You are missing your classes just to avoid them,thats totally a wrong way of solving things."
"Well perhaps you have a solution then",zuveria said coldly. She was embarrased and hurt. She knew that Sonia implied that she was weak and did not know how to handle things.
"I am not weak just because I am a pink. I was born for peace,not war. Its nothing to do with me being pink."
Sonia ignored the accusing tone and turned to leave.
"Come,we are getting late." Saying this Sonia stepped out of the room giving no time for Zuveria to argue.
The hallway was silent save for the soft footsteps of the two girls. Other students passed by them,smiling and waving to each other in a quiet and dignified manner.
"Its too quiet."Zuveria said striving to keep up with her partner. "I dont like this. Maybe there are no classes today. That would be wonderful. I could go meet my girlfriend. Its been a long time since I have seen her. Ohh,only if they could declare it as a non instruction day."
"How is she doing?" Asked Sonia
"She is fine. Will take her time to adjust to her new schedule but with her friendly nature she will win every one's heart in no time."Zuveria smiled softly.
"Well wouldn't that be an inconvenience for you."Sonia said dryly
"On the contrary I would be glad to see her mixing up with people more freely. I mean in a friendly way of course. She paused thoughtfully then continued,"I trust her."
"No doubt about that." Sonia nodded
