A Year With Williams

Chapter 17

Day 168

Eddy is acting weird which is actually making me believe that, just maybe, what Max said is true.

The 'hey' has changes into 'hiiiiiiii' and smile has turned all dreamy. The casual one second touch on shoulder lasts for minutes and he is always in my personal bubble.

That's not it, he has been trying to help me in things I am very well capable of doing.

He also tried helping me during classes.

There has also been continuous teasing from my fellow classmates. Specially Max. He makes sure that he would pass one comment or other.

As per inquiry project. Megan's plan was to put up tents/ stalls in each corner to make it look like a Chinese market.

Honestly, it is a big fail. The class doesn't look so nice.

After Shelley Ma'am announced that it wasn't looking good. They decided to take it off and instead just make one in the middle of the class. There will be four tables joined together under it and it will have the chi sign along with the origami Dragon Eddy made and waterfall.

Then there will be desks parallel to the walls leaving enough space for people to walk so that they can see what we have put on the walls and Windows. Group members will stand outside that passage to explain the charts and what they have learned and we will be graded on that base. Teachers will come and ask us questions and we will be graded accordingly.

I could see how sad Megan was. It was her plan to make stalls and it took a lot of effort.

I almost pitied her but then I remember what happened so I turned cold again.

Flashback

"Megan we have to make the chart....."

"I'll do it myself." She muttered.

"But ..."

"I don't need your help Emmy."

End of flashback.

She made the whole chart and submitted it not realizing it had to be vertical and not horizontal. We were strictly instructed but she was busy talking to Mira. I tried correcting her but she wouldn't listen.

So I gave up. She made it and all her efforts went down the drain. From my side I made an extra one which was finally submitted.

All this wouldn't have happened if she would just listen once.

Yes I do agree that we all agreed in tents plan but she is too dominating and she needs to learn that not everyone will be under her control. I like leadership, I like dominance too. But I don't go intimidating people to my will.

God, this is real life. Not Fifty Shades Of Grey.

And I am certainly not Anastasia.

Anyways Hindi chart is all done. I did it from home. So I have less work and worry now.

Ramona started the math chart. I also helped on painting the dragon outside the class.

Now we have to make timeline in history. Its like one post card will be attached to other with help of ribbon. Top will be the long ago events and the lower ones will be recent.

Not a lot of work is pending. Last touch ups, putting up charts, making the time lines and we would be done.

"Emmy, who's brown paint is this?" Ramona Asks.

We are packing up the paints because they are not needed anymore.

"Oh that, it belongs to Max."

"Oh ok, return him then." She says handing me the paint.

I sigh and walk up to him.

"There you go. Thanks." I say keeping the paint on his table.

He nods in acknowledgment.

"Hiiiiii Emmy" I hear a British accent greet me.

"Hi Eddy." I reply politely.

"Hey Eddy." Max greets him. He looks at him and gives him a salute.

"So Eddy, you like Emmy?"

The smile on Eddy's face flattens a little bit. I on the other hand keep a blank face while raising my eyebrow on Max's blunt question.

I can see how his eyes are shining with amusement and humor.

He knows it very well that even if Eddy does, he wouldn't admit it when I am here.

And he finds humour in this.

I find his sense of humour quirky. Even though the situation is mildly amusing.

Poor guy. Now Eddy needs some saving from Max-the-bully.

"No Max. I like her but it is in a friendly way.

"Don't lie Eddy, everyone can see it. Just tell her."

"But I don't." Eddy insists with a weird face.

"Oh come on, tell her Eddy. She won't say anything."

"Why do you care anyways Max. He said he doesn't. Get over it." I interrupt.

"He does."

"Even if he does, which he does not, why do you care? Jealous...?"

"Yeah yeah, I can't even tell you how jealous I am. You wound me Emmy. Can't you see how much I like you." Max says sarcastically.

If he wants a reaction, he is talking to the wrong girl.

"If that is the situation, take a teddy, name it Emmy and imagine it to me. Then kiss the hell out of it because that's the only way you will ever kiss me. In your imagination or in your dreams.....wildest dreams."

Make makes the face. The 'I might throw up face'. Eddy is laughing his heads off while I am enjoying my little victory.

With that I walk away, letting them deal with whatever was left.

He couldn't have replied to that anyways.

Also I have noticed that I say literally anything to him. He brings out the worst in me and sometimes.....though I hate to admit this.....the best.

I honestly like this bold side of me better.

Score board : Max: 1 ;Emmy:1
