Jaunty Life

Clubs

It's been almost a month and I got habituated to this place quite a lot. Well, now we are not a group of three but four. The fourth one is Ronald. Harry introduced him. It all started on a rainy afternoon, during the lunch break. Harry was a bit late that day. He joined us along with a tall boy with him.

"Who is he?" we silently asked him.

"He's Ronald, my best friend" he replied.

"Hi! I'm Ronald", introduced the one who was with Harry, shyly.

"Since when did you guys become best friends?" Asked Ellie.

"Just a minute ago," replied Harry.

As if Harry was reading my thoughts, he immediately replied, "No, I'm not kidding".

No one spoke for a moment .Ronald was the first one to do.

"I'm sorry guys I don't want you all to fight because of me. If you don't feel comfortable with me then I'll leave."

I felt Ronald as a polite and kind one. "We have no problem with you Ronald, you can join us if you like" I told him.

Then I stared at Ellie.

"What?" she asked.

I didn't give her a reply instead, I rolled my eyes at her.

"Fine, shall we be friends Ronald?"she asked him.

He joyfully replied, "I would love to be friends with you all!"

So that's how we became friends. As it's been a month,the real problem started for me. I need to choose a club to join. There is no writers or book club. I can't join in singing, arts or the dancer's club. I'm not good at any of them.

"So, what did you think about it Sara?" Asked Ellie for the nth time.

"I still haven't El, I will after Ronald decides his."

"What are thinking so hard Sars? You'll get wrinkles soon," spoke Harry as he took a seat beside Ellie and Ronald occupied the next one, facing us.

"Sars?! What am I, a virus? Also, I'll look great and wise with wrinkles," I scoffed at him.

He chuckled at it.

"Harry, apologize" commanded Ellie with her firm voice.

"Come on, I was just kidding El"

"Forget it, first suggest me a club to join. Ronald what about you? Which one are you joining?" I requested them, hoping that this club hunting will come to an end today.

"Why don't join the one Ellie's in?" Suggested Harry.

"She's in 'THE ARTS' club Harry, which is something that I lack"

"I thought you are at the singing club El, since you spend most of your time there," said Harry confusing me.

"Ah, it's true that I spend most of the time at the singing club because he gives credit if we just listen to the performances. But I'm in the arts club Harry," replied Ellie sheepishly.

"I'm thinking of starting a new club. What do you all think?" Asked Ronald, shocking us.

"A NEW CLUB?!" All three of us screamed making every head in the canteen to turn and look at us.

"Guess you don't need to advertise it Ron," commented Harry.

"It's not as easy, as you think Ronald. We need to get the permissions and there must be at least 10 members willing to join" stated Ellie brining me to reality.

"I know, that's why I am going to join the Drama club meanwhile," told Ronald.

"What club are you planning to start Ronald?" I asked him with some hope.

"Photography"

"And what about you Harry?" I asked him.

"You don't know?! I'm in the Dancer's club," he replied, offended that I didn't know the obvious.

"What are your moves Harry, tripping over nothing and planting your face onto the floor," came a sarcastic remark from Ellie.

"You mean ground breaking moves," he said with a wink.

To which we all burst into a fit of laughter.

I finally joined the drama club. Not as an artist but as a play writer cause I don't want to embarrass myself or become the laughing stock of the school.

Photography, that's the only thing in my mind since then. We decided to discuss about it, the upcoming week.
