Chapter 15: Game Time!

If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.

             - Tony Robbins

Things were definitely not getting any better. The beginning of February was knocking on the door. Its hard to believe that I have been in this now familiar city for about 3 long months.

And boy did this city hit me or what.

Bianca surprisingly was not up to anything. The last thing she did was the soup incident. And her silence and good behaviour was what got me scared even more.

And Sky- there is nothing left to say. Except that he had me falling into an infinite hole of strange feelings and on a roller coaster of emotions. His one touch made my insides go crazy. Butterflies? Hell the whole world erupted in my stomach every time. And that look. There was just something in that look.

Over the days he talked about Bianca and his progression but so far came up to nothing. Bianca saying those about me was a normal fact buy why would she bad mouth about Tina?

I so needed a holiday.

" So, tomorrow's Feb 14th, " I stated.

" Yeah, best day for singles," Sky said leaning back.

" I just don't get it. People celebrate their love on the day a saint died. Isn't that cruel? "

" Pretty much yeah, but well, there's nothing to do about it. "

For the first time I was in his room playing games. I had told him about my obsession with racing games before and so he invited me down to play that day.

Just as I was about to start the bell rang and Sky rushed to open the door.

I waited for the game to load and started playing with my bracelet. It had become a real bad habit.

" Hey there, " an unfamiliar voice made me look up.

" Ummmmm, umm, hi, " I managed a reply.

" Hello hello, " another voice sounded from behind.

Okay, that was scaring the hell outta me. Who're they? Where's Sky?

" Guys, this is Auto. "

I pouted at Sky making them laugh.

" Auto, this is Steve, " he said pointing to the guy who greeted me at first. He had jet black hair and gosh it was so thick!

" And this is Oliver, " he said pointing to the other guy wearing specs. Oliver had brown hair spiked up. All of them had almost the same built and looked like brothers.

" So, I'll just head up.. " I said getting up.

" No no, sit. You play. I invited them so they could meet you. "

My eyes grew wide. Sky knew I can't socialize with people unless they are the first ones to take an initiative.

" Well, Auto here must have a good name, " Oliver said sitting down on Sky's bed.

" Amaya, " I smiled a bit.

The game had loaded and my fingers itched to play.

" So, you're a med student, " Steve said running and lying down. Guys, I thought.

" Yeah, I am. Where do you people study? "

" We're in engineering."

" Wow, so many engineers under one same roof, " I laughed.
