That was weird, As this was the first time I had went to college without getting puffed in that bus rush, Or shall I say this was the first time I felt a company with me, which somewhere in my mind, dream fairy was saying that I like this companion and wish to keep him with me, but then I realise that I don't even want to live this life what am I hoping for, why am I getting this feeling for some companion and this is where I started panicking. I've never been to college with David. People usually don't notice me but they do notice David. I don't want to get involved in anyone's conversation. I can't enter College with him..and that was it...

STOP...!! David stop...I can't enter the college with you, I shrugged.
What happened, he got confused of my sudden reaction. I asked him to drop me alittle before our college so no-one would ever know that we came together...
Going by my word and anxiety, he dropped me where I had asked him to, after getting off from his bike my senses and legs were accusing me for pushing them into this painful walk leaving that comfort on that bike...

8 hours later...!!

The day had passed I started walking towards the bus stop, holding my bag ties in one hand, snapping the cane cap with my leg,as if I have to take it till orphanage like that, longer it stays with me bigger would be my luck. Yes I have that disorder where people try aligning there legs with the rows of tiles that they are walking on... As a multitasker with all those task, I was missing that ride which I had while getting to college. Suddenly realised a tap on my head, that is something which trips me off in second, I don't like people tapping on my head. I was about to throw my anger but my eyes found that it was David with that pink helmet which was mine... He asked me to get on the bike.

But.. whe... He put his finger on my lips as I was about to speak but, where... And said just shut-up and sit. I don't know why but I followed as he asked without asking a question this time.
Few minutes on the bike and we entered a theater with multiple chairs aligned in and a stage with a light falling on it, as if this stage is waiting for someone.

Go ahead..! David whispered. Where.. ? My immediate first weird reaction to him. On the stage, bud... Wait I'll play music... He said while jumping in his toes waving hands to n fro.
Noo, a big no... I demurred. Right next he holded my right hand and pulled me to the top of the stage under that star light.

Again it was happening, no I don't want this.. they are looking at me, those big gaped green eyes are gazing at me. You know this, infact you are this jessie. How could you keep yourself away from something that relates you to your mother, David said.

He dragged me back in the clock where I live with those blurry memories, where I was just too young to think of harddeal of life and enjoy watching my mother doing bellet dancing, yes she was a dancer, a perfectionist at it. She had got me that one little tutu dress, wearing which she used to make me move like her. That time I never understood what I was doing but I used to love that quality time that my mother used to buyout for me. Spending these many days at orphanage whenever I missed my mother I used to play some music and dance myself with my mother's fade memories. I was lost when David got me into a thought where no-one ever had took me before. I wanted to kiss him, I don't know why but then the light music in the background pulled me back to the stage.

I asked how... I mean where you get all this information.

I like to live in abstracted life, you too must live it jessie... Don't dig in the roots... Saying this he rolled me round where my hairs fluttered. He pulled me towards him, his hands were on my waist,he directed mine on his shoulder. He was moving with me..sliding.. yes he was a bad dancer but I never liked any other dancer than this one. He was moving with coy smile on his face n half closed eyes. I started to enjoy the music. My body was getting align with the rhythm. I remember how I used to try it with my mum. I was into the moment. I didn't realised when David left me to dance on my own... It striked me that I am the only one dancing there and David was gazing at me.. I stopped suddenly tugging my messed hairs behind my ears. He clapped... "Cheers to the greatest dancer ever" he shouted for joy.

He came near to me holded my both hands in his, looking deep in my eyes he said " So jessie, this is your third reason to live,
Stay connected to your mom jessie"
