Okay, big brother… if you want to play that way… then let’s play…
I am not going to let you win this time. I took a deep breath and made me calm down.
Sarah! Be strong!!!
“Okay fine… if you say so… Anyway, I came to find my phone because Prof. Cooper asked me to call some lecturers for him. Unfortunately, my phone is in my bag… So I think I will not be able to fulfill his demand. Let me tell him, someone took my bag and I couldn’t find my phone now. He would be really happy to know there are people here who work like kindergarteners ” I said putting my head out of a shutter, as I was about to call someone.
“Wait!!!” I heard Glenn’s voice from behind.
“Why?” I asked turning back to them.
“Here is your bag…” He said holding my bag to the air.
“Well… where you found that… Anyway thanks a lot Glenn, otherwise Prof. Cooper will be really pissed off.” I grinned and walked to him.
My whole body was shivering, I don’t know it will be even possible for me to reach to him, without falling down…
However, I managed it, despite my shaken mind.
I snatched my bag from him and turned around to see both Luke and Jake staring at us from near the front door.
They both looked astonished to the last bit.
I heard Bob and others were scolding Glenn, someone even hit him, I think. But none of them were my concerns… My concern was right in front of me… Still staring into me… like they saw a ghost… Oh God!!! Were they here all the time???
Both of them were staring at me like they saw a ghost. I couldn’t realize to smile with them or not. I don’t know why, but I felt really embarrassed. He asked me to be strong and I did it, so if he witnessed that, why I should feel ashamed, instead I should be overjoyed right?
Human minds are really complicated, no one can decipher why we feel, what we feel at sometimes…
I just looked down and went to my seat.
They didn’t say anything but Luke’s huge grin was so difficult to unnoticed…
However, we began our journey around 7.45. Ms. Smith and Dr. Fedric were with us on our bus. But no one really bothered about them, all of them were screaming and singing, especially Shane and the buddies.
I was dying to look back and see where Luke sat, but I was so afraid. I didn’t want any more trouble with those buggers.
I felt a vibration in my bag. I took out my phone to see, the new message.
“You look beautiful “
I couldn’t help smiling.
“I am just wearing my normal clothes and my hair is also the same. I have no makeup applied as usual. So can’t really think of a reason for that :P”
“Is that so… but you indeed look beautiful today… I think this newfound bravery suits you”
So he actually saw it… and he found it beautiful!!!
“Someone asked me to be brave no… so I just followed his advice”
“That someone must love you so much, to give such a piece of good advice…”
“I guess so :D”
“Why just guessing, aren’t you sure about that?”
“Well… I think I have no doubts about that…”
“playing with words girl?? However, I can’t just express my happiness for you”
“I can feel it…you know from your words…”
“I am so looking forward to these 3 days princess… I sense like something big will happen…”
What?? Is he going to tell me his identity? Oh!!! My God!!! Is that what is going to happen!!! No No!! I will die from happiness… I was smiling like crazy… but I could even stop it…
******
I was thinking about him, trying to recall past memories. Even though I didn’t realize, we actually have a considerable amount of memories since high school.
He was always in the shadow… the shadow of Jake…
I didn’t even realize his existence those days because I was so damn preoccupied with Jake…
“Sarah…” I got panicked as someone shook my shoulder while yelling at me…
“What?” I asked automatically from Nelly who was shaking me.
“We were calling you didn’t you hear?” she asked annoyingly.
“Oh! no… I was… nevermind… what is the matter?” I asked. Oh s**t they might have called me, I didn’t hear a thing, I was so attached to my thoughts.
“We want you to sing a song for us…” she said giggling.
“What me? song??” Okay, what is going to happen right now? From where this stupid suggestion came in the first place?
“Oh! sweetheart. Please don’t say no… you are one hell of a singer and a guitarist too. Remember that time during high school you sang and played the guitar for us? Oh! I still cherish that… Guys believe me she is a perfect singer. Sarah, please give us a chance to hear you…” it was Bob.
That time at high school… no… God!!! that was a nightmare…
It happened at a summer camp. I happened to do a performance at the last moment. I was literally forced to do that. I agreed to sing, but they gave me a guitar too… And I successfully failed at both… I was somewhat good at singing, though I didn’t know much about playing guitar, but with the nervous, I made a real mess and got humiliated in front of everyone.
It is one of the incidents in my life, that I want never to evoke… but thanks to Bob I remember it as it happened just now…
So… He is going to take revenge, isn’t he? He has chosen a brilliant option…
“No… Bob… I Can’t sing…” I tried to refuse.
“No… you can’t refuse… please…You must let others here you… see we even got a guitar…” Bob said in a desirous voice while showing me a guitar.
