With Love to cat from fin

CHAPTER 7

I came back home walking, it was weekend so everyone were at home ,i was a sweating mess by the time i reached home, they were all sitting in hall, cynthia watching t.v and texting in her mobile, my dad reading newspaper and my mom correcting some papers, 

"woah!! sweety you look like you just ran a marathon" my dad said looking at me from head to toe "ewww....."  cynthia scrunched her nose in disgust, 

"you want me to hug you right?" i said walking to her "No.." she shouted and jumped from cushion to avoid me, "come here, sister will hug you" i said chasing after her,

"both of you stop, give it a rest" mom said sternly, we both stopped, 

"she is on her days" my dad stated simply earning glares from her, cyn and i both giggled. 

"go and wash up sweety, let's have some lunch" my dad said "okay" i said and went up to my room, i took a shower and changed into comfortable clothes.

I ate a little, i wasn't really hungry even after seeing my favourite chicken dish on table. After lunch i went to my room and tried cleaning it then tried reading books to distract myself, it was a mistake, how could i do that, i decided not to think about it but how can i face him after leaving like that, i should have played it cool but at that moment i couldn't muster up any words.

i opened mailbox in my mobile and saw a message from jenny, she is my high school friend, Now studying cosmetology in abroad. Cathy, Jenny, Eva and i were like on group, we were good with gymnastics and grades which made us popular among students and teachers.

Jenny messages me saying she's back home and will visit me tomorrow, i replied saying that i'll wait for her and came down to inform my mom about jenny's visit tomorrow. Mom, dad and Cynthia were watching a movie, i told mom that jenny will be visiting us tomorrow and my mom smiled saying that she could prepare some special dishes for us, i sang a thank you and settled next to cynthia on couch.

I tried to concentrate on movie but somehow my mind again drifted to that kiss, how can i do that? ahh... i screamed internally, i shook my head and sighed loudly, "what happened?" cynthia asked turning her head to me, i shrugged and looked away, "then why are you doing that?" she asked 

"Nothing" i snapped at her, 

"ah...nothing is it. okay" she said and went back to watching movie, 

"sorry" i said and raised to go to kitchen, she is so annoying but i know she's just concerned about me, i went into kitchen to see if i could help my mom, she asked me to set the table for dinner.

We all had dinner and after dinner cynthia asked me to help with her assignment so we both went to my room after clearing the table, it was past 10 when cynthia went back to her room, i felt tired but couldn't sleep so i took a book and drifted off to sleep reading it.

I woke up before my alarm went off, today jenny is coming over to our house so i quickly showered and dressed in a blue color oversized t-shirt paired with shorts, i came down and found my mom in kitchen,

"morning mom" i greeted kissing her cheek, 

"morning..." she sang and gestured me to look at kitchen island that was filled with many dishes, i opened on of the lids and found my favourite chicken dish in it. 

"woah!!" i exclaimed proceeding to see other dishes, Potato soup, Pork stew, yet another chicken dish and Lemon tarts, Mom has prepared all the food for us, "thanks mom" i said hugging her, she smiled at me and asked to finish my breakfast.

I took my cereal box, Milk and chatted with her while eating breakfast, Cynthia came down rubbing her eyes, she settled next to me with a bowl of cereals and completed it in a hurry saying she had some urgent work and went back to her room. 

"Mom don't you think she's acting a little weird these days" i asked looking to where cynthia just left,

"i have seen her room totally filled with those canvas sheets and colors your dad brought her, may be she's busy with that work"

"yeah, i had seen her sitting before those sheets all the time" i said realizing how often i have seen her hands covered with paint, may be she'll be doing arts after school who knows. 

I completed my breakfast and went to Cynthia's room, she was indeed sitting before a canvas with a brush in her hand, i went to sit on her bed, "hm..so what exactly are you doing?" i asked trying to peer around her shoulder, 

"i'm trying to paint these" she said showing me the shamrock leaves in her mobile, "so, are you planning to spend the whole day trying to paint this or......" i asked raising from her bed to stand beside her 

"or what?" she asked flatly "or maybe you could join us for shopping cause jenny will be staying tonight and we planned to go out"  i offered,

"ohh..." she said completely concentrating on mixing green color of different shades with hands "gross.." i muttered a little loudly "ah...fiona! soo annoying, get out" she shouted, i threw a pillow to her and quickly ran out of her room laughing at her angry face.

I came to my room and messaged jenny asking about her arrival, she replied saying she will be coming by noon which left me with 2 hours for myself so i reached out to the book on my side stand and opened to the page i left reading last night.

my phone buzzed indicating a message from pam "hi fiona, what's up?"  it read "hey pam, nothing"  i replied , 

"can i call?" she asked, i don't know i suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, what does she have to talk to me? did she know about the kiss? did samrat tell her? they seemed to talk so freely with each other? 'wait! why are you thinking about the kiss again? not everything is related to that fiona, she calls you everyday, you're just overthinking' my inner voice said, it's okay finn i said to myself and before i could respond i got a call from pam.

She asked about lab schedule and kept babbling about a guy who asked her out during dance class, by the time she finished explaining it was past 11.30 so i quickly hung up and went to wash my face, when i came out i heard someone talking loudly in hall, i smiled and ran downstairs.

"finn" jenny yelled, i smiled and hugged her tightly, "what did i say about calling me that?" i asked hitting her playfully, 

"oh, come on, at least say hello before scolding me" she said frowning a bit 

"yeah, how are you doing girl?" i asked pulling away to look at her, she has totally changed, she looked thinner than i remember and her hair dyed from blonde to a crimson red, "you look thinner and... different" i said 

"don't you like it?" she asked frowning again "no, i mean you look cool, i like it" i said leading her to my room.

"fiona i have like.... tons of things to tell you" she said and plopped on my bed, "girls have some snacks" mom came in holding a tray of cookies and juice "thanks mom" i said "and lunch is ready too" my mom said closing "okay" i and jenny sang in unison and laughed at our own silliness.
