8. Tradedy In Vain.

The next day, I apologised from Peter for shouting at him. I was guilty but not much interested by my face while apologising.

So, I kept the same routine, play baseball, Alex, home. It was cool, yeah, cool, there were problems in that, all were happy!

November started - I was quite happy with my life, I was thinking - my life is just so much fulfilled, nothing's missing, friends, baseball, Alex, AWW!! Just so accomplished.

I was going to Divera again for a competition with Alex too, & guess what? We had to go by ourselves, so Alex's father took us to Divera, it was one of the best moments. After 30 minutes, in the car we reached our destination, I got out & thanked Alex's dad!

We went to the campus, I was from start only not very comfortable with Alex in speaking something, I was you can say shy in saying or I hesitate in it, anything. Just I knew Alex was my world.

We came in, the security guard approached us.

"Which school you're from?" - The guard asked.

"Rock Collins High School!" - I replied with excitement, as I was eager to sing & win the competition with Alex, I hoped if it was a tie between me & Alex again.

We entered the competition dome after showing our ID Cards to the guard there. The speech started, it was boring as hell, as Alex was not there with me, girls had to sit to the next set of chairs beside boys & Alex was not beside me, the closer-most chair. I saw the time, it was 12:30 pm.

The speech got over, participants were moving to the rooms allotted for practise, I went in mine as I was guided. Still no Alex found, damn! I was irriated, my fucking luck.

Time passed...

My chance came to sing, I was fully confident about it. Without hesitation, I sang "Amy" by Green Day, it was a tough song to sing. But, anyways I at least tried. I stood aside & waited for Alex's turn.

I was waiting, & waiting. Alex's turn came, I was looking at her. She sang well, she sang "Love you like a love song baby" again, she sang this in the previous to previous competition also. She sang so well! Wow!

And like a boss we returned back home with a 2nd prize to me, & 3rd to Alex. Oh cool! At least I'm good at something. I returned home & quickly went out for play! As I visited the playground, everybody was just so annoying towards me only. Nobody was talking to me properly as if they hate me or something. I thought of talking about this to Peter.

I went to Peter asked what's happening, & guess what? He also showed me attitude. All of 'em became bitches or what!

I ignored the situation & started playing, but were stifling me. I was frustrated, I threw the bat away in anger & went off!!

I went outside the park & waited for Alex to come, at least she was the one who understood me, nobody else understood me!

I met her, without sharing the shit happened I started another topic, I don't wanted to ruin her mood. Our relationship was going in full swing, hehe! I was fully happy with my life, I planned to just ignore them, I mean Peter & shit.

After some days, Alex's father told her to come back earlier than the time she came, so I will be getting bored after she had went. The first day she had to go early -

We talked as usual, & then she went off as she had to go back home, damn his father; sorry don't damn, he's my future father-in-law; hehe!. I was sitting on the bench in the park, after Alex went & a girl appeared & sat beside of me.

She was Alisa, my new friend again, it's kind of boring to tell you that! Well, she was 2 years bigger than me. So, she was like my good big sister. She came there, it was heart-relieving that I knew I won't be getting bored now.

We started to chat, our conversation went normal as usual, I shared what's happening with her but I usually don't talk about that with her, about that topic with her!

Some days passed, November arrived. Alex's birthday was in November, November 22nd, cool, now we gotta party inner house, I was extravagantly excited! But there were 20 days for it.

Between me & Peter many fights occurred, maybe some resolved also because I can't resist myself from baseball, & I always went there in search of a hope of playing.

It was shit by the way. The experience, awkward shit.

4th November, the day of tragedy!

I & Alex arrived in the park at the same time. We sat on the bench.

The conversation went romantic in a way as I was talking about what I should gift her in her birthday. So, enjoying Daniel loved it. Eventually, as the topic changed drastically, Alex said -

"Dan, we haven't kissed from many days, what about now?", "we're in the park, what if somebody saw us?" - I asked.

"Nothing will happen, please for me? Dan!" - She said so cutely I was just unable to resist.

We kissed. Not so passionately, but kissed.

Our eyes were closed.

After some seconds, a voice came.

"Alex?" - The voice.

We opened our eyes, separated.

It was Alex's dad.
