"I w-was not staring. I uh-.....actually,I saw you in the mall in WindsorWith the guy."
I stare at him wide eyed and process his words.
"There's nothing as you think it is." I answer him quickly not letting him think that there's actually something.
"I know. I saw the pain you inflicted on his hand." He says and smirks at me like he's proud of me.
"But how do you know him. I can atleast tell by now that you are not someone who would just party and meet with random guys or hook with them. So,how do you know him.?"
"No,how do you know him.?" I ask him the same question not unable to understand why was he referring like that.
"Well, I live in Windsor. I'm in high school and hang out with the other guys."
"I thought you stayed the whole life in your room. Locked up watching the survivor series." I say him sarcastically for the information he's just revealed.
"Huh!! What I mean to say is that I have seen him at some parties and heard about him from other guys. He's not a good guy to hang around with so that's why I'm asking you 'how do you know him' "
"As much as I would like to say you,I don't want to. Not because I'm angry on you or something like that but it's complicated. So don't misunderstand me. It's just that I don't want to talk about it now."
"Okay. That's fine. I understand."
After this small talk we had,neither of us speaks and I am thankful for it. I look up at the sky and relax. Feeling that he would talk about anything else,I get up and get going not before saying a bye.
I return to my room and lay on the bed. The clock showing the time to be 5:10. Knowing that sleep is miles away,I go to my wardrobe and search for my wallet. And no, my wallet does not have a Barbie or Eiffel Tower print. It's actually a woodland wallet for boys. And again,no guy has gifted me that. I somehow convinced my brother and got it from him.
I take the wallet and go back to bed with my laptop. Logging into Facebook page,I wait for it to load. By that time,I open my wallet and remove a yellow stick it note and stare at it like its gonna talk. Once the page has been loaded,I put the username and password from the note. I wait and pray that it's correct and let's me log in.
And like everytime, it doesn't. The screen displays 'invalid password,please try again' which only heightens my anger. Being frustrated I put the note back and shut the laptop not before logging off. I lay down on bed,breathing and residing my anger. I stare at the ceiling and calm down. This would be the nth time I had tried and it's still the same. At times like this,I want to slap myself for my stupidity and tell myself how crap all this is.
Closing my eyes,I remember the day. I donno if that was the best day or the worst that I myself made it.
Three months before,there was a huge football game and canton being the host,has the largest crowd during this time. All the people way along from New York and even gulf happen to visit this football tournament. The city was crowded and schools were closed on the day of the matches.
Being the locals,we were ofcourse excited and everyone was willing to go. For the first time,me,Em and Mila planned to watch the game together. After everything was planned,we were sure not to cancel it at any cost.
It was a Wednesday when the finals would happen. Eym managed to get us all tickets. School was closed and the roads were crowded and rallies started from six in the morning. The best part of the people of Canton is that they love football. That implies that we don't support only a single team and cheer it and degrade every other team. They love every team and player who plays football. That's also the reason why I love it.
I don't understand much of football but I'm always happy and cheer for any team who scores a goal. The same goes with Mila and Em. Although me and Em also give special preference to handsome players. We are not like those fans who would make tattoos or lift up our t-shirts,just decent fangirling.
We were supposed to meet at my place and then go to the grounds together. After settling in the car,we talked about food and also Em did some research on the most handsome guys of both the teams,remembering their jersey numbers.
Mila was not all innocent. She was more like concentrating on one guy. If she finds someone handsome of her type,she can just continue her crush for a whole week or a month. Whereas me and Em were more broad minded. We are against partiality. So we actually give the same amount of time to each handsome guy which is no more than five minutes. After that,we find someone else and it continues. Like come on,we are just crushing. Let us have a chance and wide ranges at least from afar. It's not like we are gonna flirt or hook up with them.
"So,who's at the top?" I ask Em referring to our will-be -our first crush for today.
"Jersey no.3, both handsome and quarterback. Beauty with brains" she says wiggling her eyebrows. Mila is supposedly googling him for a clear picture. She shows me the pic and yeah,I have to agree he's all handsome. But again,we all ofcourse have different choices so we don't go with em's preference.
We arrive at the stadium about an hour early. Eym managed to get us a guy who would take care of our car parking. So we make our way to the bleachers. Actually no,the first stop will be the food stalls.
The food is actually so mouth watering that I have to stare at it and prevent myself from drooling. We settle for the classic hotdogs,fish and fries,popcorn,tacos,pepperoni pizza and some drinks. Don't worry cause all this is gonna vanish in about ten minutes.
Being an hour earlier doesn't help us much as the crowd is already in motion and cheering for their teams. We make our way to our seats easily because I'm leading the way and dragging Mila who is in turn dragging Em. When I lead the way,there's no stopping. Being too slim and lean,I make my way through the crowd easily with some excuses and sorry's. Finally after ten minutes,we reach our seats and start eating,cause we have not eaten anything from last one hour.
Receiving a text from Dina saying they have reached,I put the phone on silent mode and start talking about random stuff. After about ten minutes,the game starts with the singing of anthems and all which I don't know. The hoots and cheers makes us feel like we are gonna be deaf sooner.
The game finally starts and to be frank I'm kind of getting bored now. Every player is energetic so there won't be any goal for the first twenty minutes or so. We are the only people who are sitting and watching so calmly like we belong to a royal family trained with etiquettes.
After fifteen minutes,there's a goal and we all look to see who made it. It's the guy with jersey no.3 who Em was talking about and ofcourse,Em is right now standing and cheering like she is his gorlfriend or maybe soon to be wife making me and Mila laugh at her.
I'm busy with munching my fries and it's not like that I'm bored. It's just that I don't like the starting. The ends are always the best. Full of suspicion and drama and sweat. Watch me in the last thirty minutes and I will be there shouting at the top of my voice cheering for everyone.
