Never Met Before

Deal

Sometimes apologies don't come to 

your face .They may come indirectly maybe in a wrapped box,a smile or a silent look .Youjust need to accept it .Thats maturity!

My nose was invaded with the aroma of a delicious stack of freshly made pancakes .Yum!!These are for me .
I made myself a seat at the corner of the cafe and started having my self prepared feast .
One more reason I work at a cafe .Yummy nuttela pancakes !!!
"Hey why can't you wait for me you gobbler .This is really not done ."I gave a fake epression like everyday and continued my feast
He sat down in front of me passing me a disgusted look and soon started to scarf down his meal 

And I am the gobbler...ha

Thisfeels like  everyday now. We fighting over food ,him calling me a gobbler,the fake sadness,it has become such a habit that I may not survive without it .Many a times we are joined by one or another colleague when we try to show table manners othersise ,we are just two .

I opened my phone to get some daily updates but yeah its the same ,photos of sappy happy chicken made face of couples or a group of "joint by hip" friends .

"Ree?"

"Yeah"I looked up to him keeping my phone aside .

"You coming to the match tommorow ?"he asked giving me a questioning look ,his eye raised.

"Na .."I said after a minute of thought .
I know they will lose eventually and everytime getting false hopes high ...no not my piece of cake "

Niall's calm questioning look soon turned into a scowl making him look a two year old "Cmon ..you cant leave me everytime .I feel like being a swimming captain is a crime .Please you didn't even came for the last game ,this one please "he  had a pleading look on his face,the one at which you want to laugh.

I shaked my head as a no ,got up from my seat ,picked up my bag and slid it on my shoulders ready to go home .

"Well waterboy ..you ,again need to go, maybe alone to raise their "morale" so that they come to your competitions to raise your spirits"I passed him a pity look first and then walked towards the door laughing at his "I will kill you" face .
---------------------

The school was always the same .Boring classes ,fun loving breaks,with exhausting ends .Even the time tables must be tired now .huff!!
After attending five dreadful periods
I was making my way towards the demoniac Maths class.
Cole and I were made partners remember so, we had to sit together for our "project" but much to my relief ,he has not attended the class in the last whole week and I wish he never attends it .

I think that day I got out of limits .I felt bad about shouting so much at him and throwing his bad grades at his face .It is not that I would apologize .But I will keep my distance .I just know there's no bad blood from my side .

"Hey Rhea ...sir Smith was asking for you .He wants to meet you right now ."I turned around and saw a brunette talking to me .My angel !!saved from Maths class .
I recognized her from my class and after passing her a smile I rushed towards Mr.Smith's cabin.

I stood almost two minutes outside his office calming my breath and mentally hitting myself on the head that why did I ran all the way .
As usual I gave a peek inside but there was not only Mr .Smith but also Cole .

"Sir you called me ?"I asked trying to act innocent knowing so well what was coming next .

"Yeah come in "he told me and then keeping his work aside, he put his spectacle down .
"What am I am hearing Rhea . I asked you to tutor Cole but I have came to know that it is not happening .Just look at his grades once .He himself has to come and inform me about your miscondu..."

"Sir I ...."Mr. Smith pointed a index finger towards him telling him to keep silent .

"Let me finish first Cole ."He said giving Cole a stern look
"I have also came to know about your fight .Let me remind you Rhea you need to pay my favour .I want both of you to go out and sort out your diffrences right now."I nodded my head as a yes and walked outside the door with Cole behind me .I was smiling the whole time even after hearing Mr .Smith. I know that it was Cole who asked sir to approach me as he can't himself directly .You are  not forgiven Cole .

I looked at his face still smiling and he with a annoying expression .
"What"we said in unison and it made me laugh .Something was really wrong with me .

His face now looked even more annoyed ,his eyes closed maybe trying to calm himself .

"So you wanted me to tutor you "I asked a smile still on my face .

"No I don't. It's Mr.Smith who wants you to tut.."

"Oh cut the crap Cole ..I and you both know what the truth is "he grew still for a second or two as if thinking something and then he turned towards my face tring to look disinterested .

"Yeah ok I accept ..now happy" I thought I saw a smile flick on his face for about a mini second but then it disappeared .Atleast he accepted. But ,why give in so easily ?He made you so mad x at least let him work some hard .

"Ok I would tutor you. "

"Really"he asked a shocked expression on his face ,his eyes about to bulge out of sockets ."I don't believe you "

"But here's a catch "I said with a mischevious look on my face

"I knew it .Dare you make me do anything stupid .Let me tell you I can easily find a better tutor than you".

I was still laughing and right now I myself cannot believe that this is the same guy I fought just a week back .
"Listen to me once first "I said and looked up expectantly

He now looked red as a tomato ,hands fisted as if holding back from hitting me ."What is your deal ?"

"So you play football right ?"

"Yeah ,infact I am the vice captain ."he said proudly .Showoff!

"Ok so here is the deal ,win todays match and I will tutor you "his lips slowly turned into a smile and then a smirk as if he had already won it .

"Deal "

Oh Niall I am definately accompanying you today ......
