I spent the next three hours in classroom, trying not to look at the clocks above various blackboards, and then looking at the clocks, and then being amazed that only a few minutes had passed since I last looked at the clock. I had nearly four years of experience looking at these clocks, but their sluggishness never ceased to surprise. If I am ever told that I have one day to live, I will head straight for the hallowed rooms of GEMS International School, where a day has been known to last a thousand years. But as much as it felt like last period physics would never end, it did, and then I was in the parking area with Sunny.

I didntt want to, but I did. And so May fifth could have been any dayuntil just before midnight, when Margo D' Souza slid open my screen less bedroom window for the first time since telling me to close it eight years before.
