Wanting You

Chapter 34

Exams are over! I am done. I am finally done! No more school. No more waking up. No more studying.

I should be elated, jumping for joy or even screaming.

However. I am feeling nothing like it. I kind of feel empty. For this very second or this moment I do not have any purpose in life. I have absolutely nothing to do! I never planned this far off. I was so concentrated on studying I never thought of this part.

I have been sitting in my chair in my room staring at my books, paper and the clutter since I came back from my last ever exam. I looked at the clock. I felt alarmed.

I blinked and then blinked. Time remains the same.

Three hours!

That's how long I have been sitting like this in a daze. Mom wasn't home when I came back and Rina has one last exam tomorrow and then she will be done.

Adam. I should call Adam and do something. I can't sit like this till tomorrow.

I took out my phone and called Adam. He picked up after the fifth ring. All I hear is some clutter and static?

"Hello? Adam? Can you hear me?"

"Mia? U finished your exams!" Adam shouted into the phone seemingly overjoyed. I had to move my phone a few inches away from my ears. To save it from being deaf, ofcourse.

"Yeah. Today, but why are shouting? And it is so unclear". I had to shout back too to be heard.

"Oh I told you I am going fishing with the crowd today. We will be heading back tomorrow morning"

And then I heard more shouting and screaming.

"Hey Babe I need to get back, Tim caught a huge one! Call you later ok. Bye" laughing he replied.

There. He hung up! I rolled my eyes.

So now what? Adam is busy too. Sigh.

I decided to change and get some sleep.

Once I changed into some comfortable clothes and fell onto my bed I realized how exhausted I was. So much of planning and studying early did no good. Towards the end of exam I was up almost every night cramming as much information as I can.

I haven't had a good night's sleep in forever. Slowly I felt my eyes closing as it was getting harder and harder to even move my body and then.......

"WAKE UP YOU IDIOT! WE HAVE SO MUCH OF CELEBRATION TO DO"

Thump thump thump

I groaned into my pillow and thought, not this again! I tried opening my eyes to see Rina holding a pillow over her head, ready to hit me again.

"Oh thank God your up! I thought you were dead" Rina sounded relieved.

"So that's why you were banging on my head? To make me more dead?" I asked. That's when I noticed Rina was in her uniform. I looked at the clock.

Oh no!

"Rina what time is it? Or rather what day is it?" I asked alarmed all sleepiness vanished.

"I just finished my last exam and rushed over here to celebrate to see you slumbering away" Rina explained.

"So that means....... I have been sleeping for over sixteen hours!" I shrieked.

"Wait what?" Rina asked in disbelief "Don't tell me you have been sleeping since your last exam?"
