My life was back to normal. I should have been enjoying it but I didn't. I missed camp way too much.

My life was not less than a one of a military as the same schedule repeated itself. Nothing more than school to home to church... Everything was just a cycle. That's when I realized, at times things that aren't planned turn out to be the best and the ones we cherish the most. Every summer that I spent earlier was all pre- planned, as I had described earlier my summers were more indoors doing nothing except Tv, phone, books, songs, laptop etc.

But this time was different, it was just beyond my expectations. I did learn to socialize, I made new friends, exposed my talents, I did let go out myself. This summer was just something magical. I wish I could relive those moments again.

"Wake up Janet!" I heard mom yell

"Yes mom, I'll be there in ten minutes"

"Hurry up or else you might get late for school"

"Yes mom"

Mom was right, I have started living in my own dream land. This new trend of mine troubled mom as well. She has never seen me being so. Being lost in my thoughts and avoiding things was not my personality but I turned out to be inculcate them. As soon as I was done with my breakfast I hurried to school.

I missed and regretted my last bye, which was left incomplete back at the camp but at least I could meet my friends at school. Yes, that was something worth while.

"Hello ma'am" I heard Carol

"Oh, hi" I replied

"Where did you disappear on the last day of the camp?" She asked

"AAH! nothing much, mom had to hurry for some work so she needed me to take care of the house "

"Oh..!! J see, you know we were all worried, everyone was asking for you!!"

"Everyone!!!" My eyes popped up silencing wished for her to take his name

"Yes!!"

I felt happy, people did notice my absence.

"David was asking for you too" Said Clare

I was almost stunned "David?" I couldn't believe my ears, did she just sat David?

Yes she said, Clare then dragged me corner and asked,

"Janet, be honest with me ok?"

"Yes, ofcourse Clare. Tell me what's the matter"

"Well, what do you think about David?"

"What are you talking about, have you lost it?"

"Come on tell me"

Her asking me this question was unexpected. On top of it she was his ex which made it more awkward. 

"Have you lost it Clare, what on earth are you talking about"

"Just answer my question Janet" She insisted

"I like him, I mean as a friend. No doubt he is a nice guy but I really don't know much about him so I really can't jump to any conclusions."

"Okay!!" She replied with a flirtatious smile.

What this girl was up-to I had no idea. I just hope she was in her senses.

"Good morning girls" I heard sister Annie speak on the mic

"Good morning sister..." we sang in response.

Sister Annie was our principle . She was the best principle we could have ever got. The way she interacted, smiled, laughed with us, she never made anyone of us feel less important and was more like a friend to us.

"So, how were your vacations?"

We all yelled "It was wonderful"

Yes, wonderful it was I reassured myself with a smile. I was reminded of the moments I'd spent. Dances, songs, awards, classes, talks and... David.

I saw Clare noticing me. God..!!!, what was up with this her?

"Good, so as you all know this is the first Friday of the month so we will be having our mass. All the students concerned please go to the auditorium." Said Sr. Annie

As soon as she said so, I hurried to my class took off my shoe and headed towards the auditorium, I found my friends reserve a sit for me.

They all looked at me as if I had to admit something that was untold to them. I got irritated and looked towards them, questioning.

"What's up with all of you?"

They all simply laughed, Clare looked at Carol and told her, "Come on!! you must ask her"

I said "Ask what guys, what's up your sleeve?" I really got frustrated and was done with this guessing game.

Ok Janet tell me "Do you like David?" asked Carol

I just don't know what was up with them, "I have already answered this question earlier, Clare had asked the same question. Now will you all tell me what happened, why are you all asking me this?"

They all looked at me and said "we will explain it later, the mass is about to start." After saying so they glanced at each other, I was done with them acting crazy so I changed my view.

I just don't know what was up their sleeves, they all were acting really weird that was disturbing me a lot. I just can't wait for them to tell me what's up their minds. Those smiles and giggles were getting up my nerves now. It's about David, I'm hyper. CAN THEY JUST SPEAK?!

Please do give in your views, I would be obliged to read them :)
