Boarding school

TWENTY

It's been few days since that kissing show. I didn't talk to Freddy yet, actually he didn't.

People would be leaving home for a week, my friends are leaving too. Except me. My parents are away so they asked me to stay in boarding. My friends asked me to come along but this stupid boarding rules are against it.

Clara and Lola had left already. Lily's Dad,Mr.Carter just arrived. We were having a little talk while Lilly was gone to fetch her luggage.

Mr. Carter was very sweet and hilarious. Jesus he even called me harry Potter's  female version , by seeing my scar. I know he joked about it.

"Take care pup. A week will pass even before you could realise. Im gonna miss you." Lily said and hugged me tightly.

"Ill miss you too doll." I said.

"Bye beauty. See you after a week." Mr. Carter said as he got in the driver seat.

Somebody closed my eyes from behind.

It was Austin.

"Hey! Bye. We'll be back soon pup. Take care." Austin said by holding my hand.

"Bye cutie. Where is Freddy? I didn't see him for a while." I asked.

"In dorm , i guess. Probably packing his stuffs. You can actually go up there. Poppy i had been observing you guys lately, both of you are acting weird." Austin said by raising his brow.

"I think he is the one who is acting weird." I said looking down at the floor.

"No worries. Go sort it out. I gotta go. Bye pup." Austin kissed on my forehead before leaving.

I stood near the staircase of guys' dorm, thinking for a long time, whether i should go up there and talk to Freddy. Im going upstairs, no matter what.

I peeped inside the dorm, searching for Freddy. I asked the guy ,who stood near the door , he pointed to the other end of the dorm. I stepped in and looked around, they had bunk cots, i found Freddy near his closet. He was shirtless. He did look hot, I'm mentioning it for the first time. I'm gonna get my brain scanned sooner or later.

"Hey Freddy. When are you leaving?" I asked as i stood beside him. He was peering into his closet so i couldn't stand face to face.

"In few minutes." He answered bluntly without any expression. Ive never seen him like this.

"Okay. Can i ask you something?" I asked by tilting my head to face him.

"Yeah what! Make it fast i gotta leave." He said. It was really harsh.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you acting weird? As far as i know, i didn't do anything , for you to behave this way. Actually i tried to talk to you but you somehow ignore and walk off the other way." I asked and held his hand to make him turn.

"I did ignore. You knew it as well! So why are you bringing this up now?" Freddy said by looking into my eyes, he also pulled off his hand from mine.

That's it. I really felt damn hurt and my vision got blurry as tears filled up but I kept it under control, not to let it drop down.

"What? I just wanna know the reas-" I was cut off by a blonde girl who actually wore a skinny jean and a top with deep -V  neck, exposing most of it.

"Baby! Get ready soon. Shall i button up your shirt or unzip your pants?" Blonde said to Freddy in a husky voice and trailed her fingers from his chest to all the way down to his abs, she even reached his pants.

She didn't mind me at all.

"Just a minute babe." Freddy said by holding her hand that was trailing his body.

"Who are you? What do you want?" She asked me directly by keeping her left hand on her hip and right hand pointing at me.

"Um- I'm Poppy. Im here just to talk to Freddy." I said

"Poppy there is nothing more to talk. So can you?" Freddy said and shook his head towards the exit.

He asked me to get out of his sight indirectly. I can't believe it at all. I miss Austin now.

I just left the place and walked towards the door. Then i bumped into somebody after two steps away, because i kept my head low inorder to hide my teary eyes.

"Poppy! What you doing here?" A familiar voice spoke up first as my head was low.

It wad Dave.

"Hey! I just came to see Freddy." I said with my voice breaking down. 

"Fine. I heard you are the only one who is gonna stay back in our dorm. Why?" Dave asked.

"Parents are gone for a while so they asked me to stay right here. When are you leaving Dave?" I asked.

"Within few mins. Can you stay here all alone? Im sure some people might be staying back. If you want I'll stay back too." Dave said with a smile.

That was so sweet of him. It made me feel like bursting out right away.

"Thats so nice of you Dave. But no thanks. Have fun. Bye. I gotta go." I said and walked off as soon as possible.

Tears rolled down my cheeks as i climbed down the stairs. I just busted into the studyroom, which was empty, reached for my seat and broke down.

I had nobody with me , that made me sob like hell.

I opened my eyes, the room was dark, geez i freaked out looking around. I think i dozed off while crying.

I hit the refectory, my stomach was still crying.

Had pancakes, a cup of milk and grabbed a chocolate bar. Sister Mary asked me to shift my bed to Freddy's dorm (no no scratch that) to Austin's dorm, since i was the only one in my dorm.
