A childhood Promise

Chapter 5

"What do you think about the theme?" Lucy pulled me out of my biology book so I could be attentive to her.

"If I was dean of this College, I would have prefer something very romantic. Like red and gold colours maybe. But he chosed hollywood style. I don't care either way." I answered her with a quite frustrated look.

"Man, go get a life." She stood up and walked away. What's in this prom night thing to be excited about? I mean for God's sake, its seriously not something for which you would save all your pocket money, whole year, just to buy yourself expensive dress or to take a limousine on rent. Bullshit.

It is so disgusting to sit in a class where prom night is discussed more than incomplete homeworks. Urghhh. I am done with this. I packed my stuff to leave for cafeteria when a very familiar scent took place beside me. I glanced and found Eric's so-not-wanted body beside me.

"What?" I inquired with frustration. I can never be comfortable with this oh-so-sexy figure. He intentionally undoes his upper two buttons for what? swoon me? I swear if in these 23 days he tried fleshing more of his body, I am going to kill him ruthlessly.

"Stop looking at my chest, Babe". He interrupted my plans of killing. I heard laughter of girls sitting behind my row. Damn! What I've been staring at. Shittt.

I stood up embarassed, not wanting to reply him back and dashed out of the class. I was in a hallway when I could hear him calling my name and following. No one could stop me now from talking to the dean. But his voice was too loud to stop anyway.

"Hold my bag, I am going to dean's office." I held out his hands and placed my heavy bag in it. His facial expressions were stunned. Bingo!!!

I walked out to reach the office door when I realized Eric running behind me but he couldn't stop his athletic speed, as I turned back to ask him to stay out here and not enter, I found him some inches away and BANGGG!!! To add some more flavour to it Dean already had opened up the door co-incidentally at the same time and Eric and I dropped to the floor hardly, curled into eachother.

It was about three seconds when I regained my senses & found Eric on me while from the corner of my eyes I could see Dean observing us as if investigating if it was seriously an accident or we two were taking chance with eachother. Dean cleared his throat loudly.

"Eric?" He called. Eric? ohh man get off me, why is he all paralyzed.

"Eric!" Twice his name from dean but still no movement. I felt his hand beneath me rubbing my back a little. Ohhh crap! he is pathetic. I pushed him with all force I have.

"Girl, damn! why were you holding me so tight? I am a decent guy please leave me alone. Would you?" Eric acted so innocent and instead blamed me. He doesn't have any idea how his jokes and games could affect my reputation. I felt my angry volcano bubbling up and burst. This is too much!!

I ignored him and turned back to dean who was now sitting on his seat, holding his chin on his thumb and his index finger making a C over his lips.

"I want to shuffle my partner or I won't attend your college now. Two choices, pick one." I took my frustration out on dean who was still sitting in ease just like before. Of about 10 seconds later he broke the stare and walked up to his office's window.

I glared at Eric who was looking at Dean anxiously waiting for his answer.

"You my child won't have to leave college." phewww! I felt like winning some championship. But I could feel that moment for only some time when he faced us and continued. "Neither would you have your partner shuffled. You two are my students. Academically, Rose you're a genious. While you Eric, is a champion of sports. I would never want to see my two top students representing my college like what fighting? Be kind to eachother from now, adjust yourself or maybe two students would get suspended from my college, who knows. And yes that's it. Go to your classes now."
