Flight Of Fancy

11.Alex

' I m in a party being conducted in our school. Its around Christmas and all of us are having fun. There is Rach, me, Alex, Noah and his girlfriend Natalie. I m walking around with Alex by my side. We are holding hands and my head is lying on his chest. I feel protected in his arms, it feels like home. We are talking about us going to college and getting separated. I don't want to talk about this. The mere thought of going away makes me cry. Tears are streaming down my face.
'Hey shhh..... you know I hate it when you cry'
'You should not have mentioned going away then.'
At this moment Rach comes along and rests her head on his empty shoulder. She is his girlfriend but I like to stay with him. I know I will always be his second favourite person after Rachel'
I wake up and the dream still clear in my mind. It was such a stupid thing. Rach and Alex in a relationship and me being jealous of them....it doesn't make any sense at all. Why the hell is my brain playing with my emotions??
I better sleep if I wish to attend school in the morning. The moment I m about to lie back on my bed, my alarm goes off. What??? It's already 7. There doesn't exist a day when I woke up in the morning and I was all fresh and happy. I m definitely not a morning person. I need some coffee if I wish to stay awake during my classes. Today is Tuesday and the best day of the week. I have two art classes which I love and hope to make a career in. The kind of drawing we learn in these classes is not normal sketching. It is architectural drawing. I aspire to become a renowned architect one day and call skyscrapers in NYC as one of my designs. This is something I knew I wanted since my junior year. As a yound kid my drawing skills sucked but my mom saw a sketch I had made and wanted me to learn properly. Technically if I had not left that sketch on my bed that day for my mom to see, I would be aspiring to become something else. This is what we call fate I suppose.
I have the cup of coffee in my hand and my mum is making cheese sandwiches for me.
"Go and take a shower dear till I prepare your breakfast, you are already running late."
"Sure mum. Thanks"
"What for??"
"Being the best mother on this planet. Luv you mom"
"Love you too honey"
"Mom do you happen to know that Alex is back?"
"Ohhh is he??"
"Yes mom and I m super excited to spend time with him and Rach. We had the best time yesterday"
"I always liked that kid. I m happy that he is back. Invite him over for dinner sometime."
There is a car honking outside and I have a feeling that it's Alex. When we were small he used to come with his driver to pick me up. Everything seems like the old times.
"I m going to take a shower and I m pretty sure he would come here without an invitation anytime soon."
As I had predicted, Alex is standing by our front door shouting my name. Before I can answer he comes in. He never had the courtesy to knock but that's what I love about my best friends. They are so damn informal.
"Hii Mrs. Stinson, glad to meet you"
"Since when have you become so formal with me son. Just call me Lydia like you used to."
My mother says embracing him.
"Yeah sure Lydia. Its just been such a long time. I thought I should have my manners on display. I have missed you so much and these sandwiches. Yumm"
"Keep your hands away from them. They are mine."
"Take it if you can"
He says running up the stairs to my room. There is no place he can go to from my room.
"Stuck huh??"
"Think so. But I can always save myself"
And he ate the sandwich. No benefit of running after him. The guy has a mouth of the size of an anaconda's. He could fit a human in there. He shoved the entire sandwich in his mouth and ate it in one go, leaving my jaw on the floor. I can not  believe this guy, first he eats my sandwich and now he has the audacity to smirk.
"You are dead Williams."
"Ohh am I now?"
"Just wait"
I run up to him and jump .....making him fall on the hard wooden floor. I m sure this would have hurt him pretty bad. Even I got hurt by jumping on his rock solid chest, it is impossible for him to be totally fine. I raise up my head from his chest and look in the direction of his face. His eyes ard closed and there is no sign of playfulness on his face. Did he faint??
"Alex, Alex wake up. I didn't mean to hurt you so bad. I m sorry. Just wake up, will you?"
"If you say so....I m up"
His eyes are still closed. He was making a fool out of me while I was worried.
"You are the worst guy I have ever known"
"Phrasing the sentence wrong black widow. The correct sentence is YOU ARE THE BEST GUY I HAVE EVER KNOWN"
"Blah blah blah"
"Now take a shower fast. You smell like a skunk"
"Do I, really??"
I say making myself closer​ to him than I already was.
"Ohh yeah you do. Now get away from me. I know its difficult staying away from this body but you have to.... cause you smell damn bad"
"Okay okay, I m getting up. Now get down and ask my mum to make some more sandwiches for me."
"I missed you Ell"
"I missed​ you too Williams"
This guy is awesome. Thank god he is back in my life.
A chapter showing the bond they share. Wasn't that fun. Don't forget to vote people.
