"He likes you! ", Amy teased from the other end of the phone.
I had just woken up.Instantly I called Amy to narrate her the short ride with Garry from party to my house.I can't keep talks in my stomach for long, they tend to come out at one point or the another.
"Are you out of your mind? He must be thinking of me as a desperate stalker!", I replied. How could he like me? I was so perfectly imperfect and he was just the opposite of it.
"Don't think your brains out.Play it cool and don't you know opposites attract.", she said bluntly.
"Really? Then tell me how did you got attracted to Yang?", I said teasingly.
"Oh! Actually he's cool and I'm hot, so here goes the theory opposites attract."
"Smart answer girl. Did you both do it?", I asked her.
"Are you crazy? We just made out and he promised me for another time.", she said sounding as if it was all rather normal for her.
"Nadia! ", my mom yelled from downstairs.
"Amy gotta go, mom's call can't be ignored."
"I know babe. See you tomorrow.", she said and hung up.
My mom sounded angry and I figured that dad would be worse. This was for the first time I would face them after yesterday. I'm sure that they would not send me to another party again. Worse, my deadline would be reduced by 4 hours! Save me God.
"Ya mum?", I tried to sound as if nothing had happened.
"I told you so many times not to be late in night."
"I'm so sorry.", I said in a pleading voice.
"Gosh! You came from party quite early and I didn't expected you to be up late cause you would be tired."
What is she talking about? Ain't she angry or some thing? Is she having short term memory loss? Then I saw Matt who was smirking and I totally understood that he had saved me! I mouthed a thank you to him and then he gave me a 'you have to pay for it later' grin. I rolled my eyes. Thank God yesterday I hadn't come from the front gate (I climbed to my window as it isn't quite high). In any case if I had come from the front door then mom would have come to know that Matt lied about me being in my room.
"Actually I was doing my homework.", I said in a relieved tone.
"Okay, freshen up and take your lunch. I'm going out with your father and brother. You feel like coming?", she asked.
"No mum, you all enjoy. I'm a bit tired."
"Okay, bye. Take care honey."
I saw my mom, dad and bro go out through the front door.I locked the door and went to my room. I decided to take a delightful bubble bath and then attack on my lunch.
White sauce pasta with a double dose of chocolate ice cream atop a milk shake - it was just what I needed. I played last night's conversation feeling embarrassed every time I remembered Garry's observation. He could have said it on the table itself, but he didn't. He never reacted as if I was gawking him the whole time. He seemed...carefree! What was the reason behind this behaviour of him? What did he wanted to prove? Maybe that he always got such gawky behaviour from girls as he was cute and hot. No, he's born with a silver spoon of sweetness, he's harmless and helpful, he would never think of himself so highly. He's a down to earth guy. But maybe I took it all wrong. Many a times people don't seem the same from their outer appearance as they are from their hearts. And I totally support that argument cause I have personally experienced it with them. But can Garry be like that, would he be as pure from his heart as he seems from outside?
'Just gonna stand there watch me but; that's alright because I like the way it hurts'
Rihanna's 'love the way you lie' startled my thoughts. I had to change my ringtone cause.... I don't know, I just had to. The number wasn't known so I picked it up with frustration.
"What the hell do you want?", I said to whoever it was, clearly sounding pissed.
"I am sorry..I didn't want to-"
"Garry?"
"Yeah, it's me. I think you are expecting someone else. So I'll call later.", Garry said with a 'child who lost his candy' voice.
"No, actually I'm sorry. I personally hate prank callers and I was in no mood to hear their rambles, so I got carried away.", I said, again with a embarrassed tone. God, please enlighten me with the number of awkward and highly embarrassing moments I would have to share with Garry.
"It's okay, it seems you have a hard history with pranksters."
Ya, he was right in his so not knowing ways. I hated pranks from that day, when it happened with me. It wasn't a prank though, it was a trap..a deathly trap.
"You there?", he asked.
"Yeah..so...why did you call me?", I asked trying not to sound too curious.
"Actually...Ms.Polly called and said that there's a literature fest going to be held in our school. She is looking for volunteers and has asked if we two could come up?", he said.
But she never mentioned in the class and why we two?
"Sure. It sounds great!", I said excitedly. I already loved English Literature, I'd no reason to say no. And apart from that, Garry was with me. I didn't need anything else.
"I knew you would agree and that's why I'd already said her yes on your behalf.", he said cheerfully.
How did he know that I would say yes? I wanted to ask him but controlled my emotions and decided against in having any more awkward moments.
There commenced the most famous 'awkward silence' between us too. Finally, Garry speaked.
"And yeah, Ms.Polly also mentioned that we need to do a stayback every other day."
"Okay, sounds fun."
"So Ms.Polly wants no faults in the fest. She wants it all perfect!", he quickly added.
"Yeah, I will assure that. Bye.", I said before and more silent show could take place. I'd always this thing for awkward silence, it seemed to me very uncomfortable.
"Bye, See you tomorrow.", he said and hung up the phone.
He surpried me. I never expected that he would ask me for this fest, hell, I was trying to erase him from my heart after yesterday's incident.
I thought that he wouldn't talk to me nevertheless. Someone's a bit jumpy and surprising! ( Atleast for me)
