Flight

Unwanted Talks

*Songs at the bottom*

I walk with Ricky to a table with Adeline sitting in front of me next to Logan. I notice Adeline blush at something that Logan says so I think of giving them their space and turn towards Ricky. I see him furiously typing away on his phone. "Woah. You wanna break the screen huh?" I asked teasing him, he smiled keeping his phone into his pocket again, "Ah, I see you're feeling neglected now babe" he says pulling his chair closed to mine. I smiled and said "I didn't wanna burst their bubble" with a shrug. He looks at Adeline and Logan and smirks, making his dimples appear then he asked playing with the fries on his plate, "You've settled in your dorm haven't you? We can start work on the assignment and hang out then. I want to get rest later. You can sleep off your jet lag as well. Shit. How are you even awake?" He asked with shock. "Slow down now. I don't feel sleepy right now but I do want to lie down.. My back hurts now, um and I don't know who my roommate is as well" I said chuckling. "Okay. What's your dorm number?" He asked. "Um I actually don't know. Like I just dropped my luggage and came here directly so.. Yeah.." I tell him. He looks at me in horror, "Are you mad? Why would you come here without even settling down?" But I needed this. I feel liberated here. I don't want to be trapped in my head or in my heart anymore. The fact that I'm on my own gave me a relief as no other thing I ever faced because atleast I already know I'm alone and all by myself so I will not have any expectations from anyone or anything then.. And that for me is safe.. Grounding even..
"Fuck. I'm sorry Sammy.. Baby.. Look at me.. Shit Sam are you okay?" I hear Ricky say panicking.
Shit! Did I zone out on him. Ugh not now.. Don't cry! You are strong. Don't let anyone see you broken. Just Don't.
"Uh 'm fine. Sorry. Zoned out I guess" I quickly recovered and spoke and let out a chuckle. He then looked at me with his eyes piercing into mine and said, "You'll be Fine. It's okay. It's okay to miss family and friends at times, you don't have to act like you were born alone and die alone. We all have our days and momen.."
I cut his sentence and asked him rudely, "Who do you think you are to tell me what I should and shouldn't think? You don't even know me and you pretend like you know everything about me. You are nobody to interfere in my life." I turn my gaze away from him to take my bag and realize that Adeline and Logan are staring at me and Logan is looking at me with his mouth open. I was too pissed to apologize. "Excuse Me. I need to go see which dorm I am in" I walk away saying that and not looking at Ricky again and plug my earphones in playing my songs on highest of the volume. I start walking at a fast pace, as I was at the door to exit the university I bump into someone. "Sorry I was looking somewhere else" came out of my mouth before anything else and the person just caught my hand because of which my earphones came off and I hear him "You okay Cara?" He asks. Ugh leave my hand moron. I look at him, he is in this varsity jacket that looks too good in itself. Oh my God. I shouldn't. " I'm not Cara" I say in a softer voice than I intended to, he just let out a laugh. " I look at him biting my inner lip wondering what was funny. "Are you okay? " he asks suddenly. Who is he now? Ugh. People have a high level of fake care and interfering here. "Look I need to go. I'm in a hurry " I say to him freeing my hand. "Okay. Look up and walk from next time so you don't bump into someone again cause everyone's not decent enough" he says. I just walked away from him then. While walking back, I again start getting lost in my thoughts. If I would be with my friends, they would realize if something went wrong and divert my thoughts by speaking about them.. If only we were smarter and one of us had made a move we would've been friends even today but wait.. No. Everything was about them. Not me. No stop. Don't go back there. No Samyrah. They were the reason of your sadness. They used you.. You're love even.. You are stronger than this. You chased away depression even.. Don't let it hit you again. Calm down. You are no more in India. Not even in Australia. Nobody to question you any longer about the decisions you take. You are a free bird, no longer a bird in a cage.
Calm down. Look up. Live life in the present.
Okay. I was going to my dorm. I hope my roommate won't be irritating.. Or someone who'll use me.
Ugh people..
You cannot live with them..
Nor can you live without them.
See.. Life is meant to be easy.. Isn't it?
I finally reach the receptionist. "Ma'am, May I know which room I am placed at and the name of my roommate as well please. My name is Samyrah Roy." The receptionist, Hilda as the nameplate said, " You Miss Roy are in S37 and you're roommate is Miss Giada Armani" she said. "Okay. Thanks." I say and start my search for the room. S37? Um can it be Second floor ? It has to.. S. Hmm, I finally reach the the second floor. I walk down the corridor and finally spot my room. Ah finally. My bed . Yes!!
