Death Warrant

Chapter 7

Sometimes you don’t know what is going on around you. There are lot of unknown things around, you keep on thinking about them and then there is a point at which you don’t even want to know the unknown. But unfortunately the unknown things have tendency to make you feel like you want to know more about them and the urge to find them out and make them known can drive you insane. The one who is able to do so, gets what we desire almost everyday —inner peace and satisfaction.

Okay, so that was a deep thought and I might be over exaggerating.

because unlike the greatest people like Newton and all who discovered the unknowns to give the world a totally new concepts and changed the face of science and technology, I was just musing about Blake.

Yeah yeah, Call me pathetic.

I just couldn't get over the last day's events, especially the one where I saw Blake and Jennifer making out. It just kept on nagging me and although I had tried everything possible to forget it, it was just way too hard to completely ignore it. So unlike some of the biggest persons of centuries, the one who made great discoveries or found out about different unknown things and made them known to the world. I on the other hand was just trying to know about Blake’s weird fetish for blood, I knew this discovery won’t be one of the biggest discovery of the era but at least I will get to know the fact.

I woke up next morning, but couldn’t get my Blake out of my head. I was lesiurly self musing at one of the most used thinking place in the world.

Yes, you got that right .

My toilet seat.

The place was kind of my sacred spot. Many thoughts about my boring life were formed and destroyed there because gears of my brain seemed to work most there. I think that was due to the quiet atmosphere there.

Or maybe the pungent smell?

nah that will be too weird …I am sticking with the quiet atmosphere theory.

My Mom’s voice brought me out of my deep thinking process. “Amanda hurry up or you will be late to school”. Late to school? I thought. I quickly did my business and walked out of the bathroom to look at the clock.

Holy mother of sweet popsicles I had only 20 minutes left before the school starts .

Well fudge.

For the next five minutes, I worked faster than Flash if that was possible. I quickly grabbed the nearest thing to eat which was a banana and left the house with the quick bye to my parents, siblings and of course Bosco. It was minimum 15 minutes walk to my school and I was late to catch the bus that left me with the only option of the thirteen minute run to the school.

So I ran.

I ran as if a crazy dog was chasing me because the first class was of Mr. Johnson (yep that crazy physics teacher) and I knew he will act crazier than a crazy dog if I would be late.

Oh how much I missed a car at that moment.

I was running which would twice in two days and I really need to stop doing that cause my legs were burning again and the heat of the sun was not helping my case either. Under such circumstances I remembered one thing that I should’ve remembered eight minutes ago.

In the middle of my supersonic speed run, I realised that my Dad was home and I could have asked him for a ride in his car!

God I am so dumb. 

There was no point in going back after that. I would only make fool of myself. So, I kept on running, cursing myself along with it.

I could see the students of Mapril high from the distance. I slowed down a bit as I don’t want them to think of me as some Idiot who could take ride from her dad who was at home and will be very happy to give the ride But no she being an idiot, decided to run a marathon to school.
