December had a melancholy to it. While the cities dressed up to celebrate the month of merriment, I always felt sad during December. Firstly, because I hated cold weather and December happened to be the chilliest month of the year. Secondly, December meant the end of a year. May be we only changed a calendar, yet a year came to an end, and I hated endings. I always hated when things came to an end, be it a book, a movie, a relationship or a life.
The year that is fuming, glowing and running now, will soon join the ones that had gone by, taking with it all the memories, the good, the bad and the brilliant that formed part of it. Chapters, which were being written this year, may remain unfinished as the pages turned.
December was depressing. It glowed the brightest when the fireworks erupted across the sky, and then it was gone, sweeping away an entire year.
Well that was just me. My family and current friends on the other hand loved this month. To them this was the month of father Christmas. This was the month of fire places and plum cakes; The month of snuggling and partying. RAE often organised bonfires during December, with students from all its four, now five campuses, participating in it.To the other college we were students of journalism and mass communication.
Tomorrow was supposed to be one of those bonfire nights.
"So you are coming for the Bonfire?" Avinash asked.
"Don't know. Mandy said he wanted to watch a movie, I guess I can give him company."
The information and revelations provided by my besties, had restored my faith on Danielle, therefore her article 'The Rules of Pursuing Your Crush' was back on my home screen. I wondered how could I have I missed point no.7
7. Make Him Jealous
This is to be adopted only when you are sure about point no. 4. otherwise it may back fire. Be very careful when applying this step and make sure your helper is well aware that you are taking his help to win your crush. I have witnessed many a times the helper and the applier develop feeling for each other. However, it is not bad, but it doesn't fulfill the purpose of this article.
Find a helper; you can hire one too. However it works better if your helper is someone your crush already is insecure of. Now make your crush believe that your helper is into you and you are also slightly into helper. If your crush is interested in you, he will surely make a move. Remember just like animals human males to believe in marking their territories. Therefore, your crush will not let someone enter upon his territory. He will either take it down to a fight or simply express his feelings to you, and thus mark his territory, leaving it upon you to decide. Just like animals leave it upon their female counterparts to decide which piss scent appeals to them, their or the other male's.
The piss analogy was too much Danielle. I imagined Avinash marking territory like Brute.
Ewwww...GROSS!
"What about you?" I asked Avinash trying to remove the image of him marking territory.
"The group is going so...they insisted I go with them." His spirit seemed to dampen a little. It was Thursday and Emergency Medical Applications just got over, after drilling in our head, the use and abuse of steroids.
"I will see if Mandy is up for it," I tried to sound thoughtful "if he is then, I will definitely go."
To spice my act up a little I excused myself and walked up to where Mandy and Natasha sat.
"So you guys planning to go to the Bonfire?" I asked them cheerfully.
"Not my scene!" Natasha said disinterested. "A bunch of young adults getting drunk and being foolish, sorry count me out."
