Chapter - 43

The love I have for you is only mine. It doesn't need your love to complete it. So what if I don't have you, I have my love and I can live my whole life just with it.

Existing the hall, I let out breath of relief for class getting over, it was an okay class, not much interesting. Till first half I managed to hold my interest but after that it got boring enough for me to sleep. I have no idea how but I have to maintain my work so my grades won't get affected.

On my way back to my next class, I spot familiar figure of Dev standing by his locker, "Dev" I call him.

He turns his attention to me, smiling widely, "Ira, hi."

I approach him with a wave, "Hey, you know anything about about announcement of selected participants?"

It has been two days since we submitted our work to Mr. Vidal and we haven't got any clue for what will happen next. I'd like to think that my art was good enough to be selected, recalling Mr. Vidal's impressed expression but I don't want to get my hope only for it to crash down.

Dev frowns shaking his head, "I don't know but I heard others talking about it and from what they were saying it seems like Mr. Vidal is going to announce names on Monday."

So we have to wait till Monday before we get to know if we are having golden opportunity. I guess we could hand around if we are anticipating a positive outcome but it's still disappointing to wait.

"Er...that's good to hear, I guess." I shrug.

Scoffing he narrows his eyes at me, "Bullocks. You, just like me can't wait to know the damn thing. There is nothing good about this."

I laugh at straightforwardness, "Alright, you caught me. Anyway how is Mrs. Carl? Did she get the job she applied for?" I question, reckoning him mentioning this sometime before.

His eyes brighten up immediately, "Yup she did and we are going to celebrate at a nearby diner this weekend, you should come."

"B-but it's your family thing and I don't want to intrude."

"Oh Come on, you won't be intruding and my mom and sister really want to meet you. You could also meet Jasmine there, she is coming too."

"Wow! Is she already your girlfriend?" I ask grinning from ear to ear.

He blushes slightly, "Uh no. Actually I'm goanna ask her after that. I want to have my mom's approval first."

How many boys these day ask for their parents approval for anything after they turn legal age?

"I'll think about it." I tell him.

Closing his locker shut, he gives me a nod, "Let me know if you want to come, I'll give you the address."

"I will."

"See you tomorrow." Turning around he starts to rush back.

"Bye" I mutter to myself before continuing my walk for my class. I haven't taken more than ten steps when I hear someone call me from behind.

I whirl around and see Alice, the girl from yesterday of room opposite to mine, coming toward me and behind her is a guy with a frustrated look as he tries to catch up with her. I run my eyes on his persona and find them widen on their own account. If I thought Alice has lots of tattoos than this guys has ten fold more tattoos. The amount of tattoo hides every ounce of flesh from his fingers to his shoulders.
