A leap of faith

Chapter 43: A Leap Of Faith

I sat  with a bowl of chips and flipped through notes. All the chemical reactions and theories were stressing me out. Tomorrow was my last paper and there by it would mark as the end of  my first year in college.

*Time flies!*

Who would have thought, this year would completely change my mind. I just took a look at my phone and saw the last message sent by Ryan.

"Plan is on! We are meeting. Excited?"

*A LOT!*

I was very excited to meet him and ask him a hell lot of things. Yes, I was still angry and I wanted answers! And that to soon!

But along with all the anger, some part of me did want him back. And I was eagerly waiting for tomorrow. 

Ryan had literally occupied my mind since the last two days, that instead of learning and practicing chemical equations I was busy doodling our names in my notebook. (Even you find it crazy, right? Yes, it was a crazy time!)

I just couldn't stop thinking about -what will happen tomorrow?how will I get to meet him when I'll be surrounded by the entire gang? what will I say to him? was all I could think.

It was almost 2:30 am when I was studying and sipping my steaming cup of coffee. My phone vibrated and it has 2 unread messages. 

It said: 

"Good luck for the last paper, do well. 

P.S. Stop thinking about me! ;)"

"Good night."

*What the ..!!*

Next day

At say at my allocated seat for the exam. I was nervous about this paper as me and chemistry never blended well. And I had almost day dreamed the last evening so I just wasn't prepared. 

It was time and we received our question papers, my hands were cold because of the anxiety. I carefully read each and every question and found that some of the questions were really tricky.

*Oh good lord! Help me!*

I started with the easier questions so that I would have ample of time for the tricky ones. One by one I slowly progressed towards the last question. 

Two hours passed and the exam had ended. I submitted my booklet and looked at my friends. Everyone had a wide smile on their faces. The gloomy classroom had turned cheerful as the exams were over. Everyone was rejoicing!

We all went to the parking lot and spotted the boys.

Smith:"Look at these happy faces! How did it go?"

Lily: "It was better than expected!"

That's true, it was not as horrendous as I expected. I did solve a few of those tricky questions. And was relieved as I wasn't going to fail!

Peter: "That's great. So ready for the beach house party?"

"Yeah" all in unison.

We all were so geared up for this outing. We all decided to stay at Peter's beach house.

Peter: "So we are meeting in my neighborhood in an hour. Try to be on time. We don't want to be late.

We that we departed. I went home to change in suitable clothes and to get my bags. Lily was going to pick me up.

I heard her honking and I was set to go. Rose, Lily and me traveled together. In about two to three hours we reached the house. It was cozy and secluded beach cabin. Inspite of being an old property it was very well maintained.
