Boarding school

SEVEN

Thank god the girls here didn't protest much  for me being friends with Freddy and Austin.

"Poppy what was that all about? Freddy looked scary for a second. What really happened? " Annie asked me when we were in our restroom along with Kelly.

"I was shocked too. We were just chatting outside when i was about to leave , Freddy asked me to stay by bribing with a chocolate. Nick called me to get inside" i explained, " after that you know what happened. Gosh  that moron yelled at my face"

"So how is it going with Austin? Did you express anything at all " Kelly teased and winked.

"Good. I didn't express any garbage yet. Kelly he is my good friend , i can't do anything stupid and lose him" i said to Kelly when Annie was inside.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I was having a little chat with Nick and Annie after dinner. Nick kept asking me about Freddy and Austin. Gosh is he gay ?

"Poppy can i ask you something?" Nick asked all of a sudden .

What is he gonna ask ? Is he gonna ask ' can you introduce me to Freddy or aus?' Or is he gonna ask me chocolates or something !! ...Annie was quiet too. Hello mind voice, can you shut the garbage up.

"Yeah. What Nicky?" I asked.

"What if i said Kelly likes him too? Will you give him up for your close friend or you will leave her or hate her? " Nick put in a shocking question.

I have not come across such difficult and worst question even in my history test. Kelly is little close to me because she is very sweet, caring and adorable person.

This question was so direct and i know Nick really meant what he asked. His eyes were so serious. Who is he trying to cheat on ?

"Annie whats up" I said like a stupid, without answering for his question.

"Answer me Poppy" nick asked by placing his hands on my shoulder and shook me like an idiot , to snap me out,  as though i was in comma or something.

"Nick. Stop that!" I yelled. " i will surely.."

"Surely! Wha-! He was cut off by Dylan. So Nick went with Dylan.

"Surely! What Poppy?" Annie completed Nick.

These people are really meaning each and every letters they are saying now.

"Ill surely give him up for her Annie" i said finally, " but its not that we are dating or something for you guys to pop up such ridiculous question to me now" 

"Poppy! Are you serious? " Annie made her eyes pop out which made me laugh out loud.

"Yeah! So Kelly really have something towards Austin? I asked Annie.

"Um- yeah ! She do. Don't tell him anything about it now. What if he rejects? Gosh she might break down completely. " Annie said and covered her lips with her hands. I think she couldn't imagine Kelly being broken.

Ya I can't see her like that either.

"I won't tell him anything about it " i gave my word.

"Hey! Can i take her if you are done ?" One familiar voice cut me off.

Annie and myself turned back .

It was Austin.

There is a saying 'talking about a devil and devil appears'. Im not calling him devil. This thing just flashed my mind at this moment.

"Um- yeah sure! " Annie said and left.

"Hey ! What's up Austin?" I asked nervously as i doubted about Austin hearing what we spoke.

"Well , i was thinking that it..." Austin stammered.

Gosh what's up with this guy. I stood like a pillar.

"Thinking.... What? Austin just spill the beans " i just teased him and both of us giggled.

"Its better to talk to you directly instead of using Fred as my mouthpiece. Isn't it?" He asked.

What is this guy gonna talk about ? Has he found out that i have had crush on him before talking to him. How am i gonna face him if he asks about that? Ill just jump off from cliff in embarrassment.

"Yeah it is Austin. Go ahead" i said without showing the word war in my mind.

"Poppy.....I think i like one of your friend. "Austin spilled the beans finally but it was more than beans. I felt like a rock dropped on my head.

"What? Who? " i asked the most obvious question which normal people would ask at this moment.

"It's...... Will you help me Poppy? " he asked with puppy dog face.

My God he was soooo cute. Hey but he didn't tel the name. This guy is making me go crazy .

"Austin boy! Tell me who is it .Ill do my best" i said those words without even thinking twice.

"Poppy its....."
