Chapter-8
"Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.... I can't go to school today", this was the first thought that came to my mind when mom came to wake me up.
"Mom, please, I don't want to go to school today", I wailed.
How could I, when there I was bound to see DJ, who was surely damn angry with me for asking one damn question? Well, maybe I had hurt his privacy... Maybe I should have waited a bit longer to ask, maybe I shouldn't have asked him about Diya at all.
Damn Diya....I felt sincerely that she was the root cause of this all. Damn damn her. But what the hell was between them that DJ refused to speak about her? Was her name a taboo in front of him? It was like I'd stepped upon semi-solid ice which broke now, leaving nothing but water. I definitely should have waited a little longer for our friendship to have become steadier....
"No way, child. You can't just skip school at your will. Are we fools, spending our hard-earned money at your private school's fees, when you don't even want to go to school? Do you even realize the worth of money and your education? DO YOU?" Wailed back my mom.
Whoa! I'd expected some coaxing, some comforting, some soothing talk. What was all this shouting and wailing about? And that too so early morning?? No way I could contradict this. Huh. Maybe she was in a bad mood....
Since I hadn't done anything badly wrong, and since I was a single child (so no chance of any troublesome sibling-thank God and by the way,DJ's a single child too! But Diya's got three more sisters-what a trouble !); so most likely the reason was dad. Did mom-dad have a fight too? Looks like a fighting season was in the air!
"Mom, what's the matter? Why are you angry this early in the day?" I asked, covering a yawn.
"Angry? ANGRY? Step in my shoes, Sarah.Just try and bear the selfish demands of a teen daughter and a grumbling spouse and you'll suddenly see that I have every reason to be angry. Now get up fast and be ready, or else you'll see the worst side of me.", she said, walking away, apparently still mumbling under her breath.
Huh,fussy parents... Making a face, I threw up the warm blanket covering me-a very courageous deed cuz I hate getting out of the blanket in winters and started getting ready. Then, taking a bath was an equally heroic deed I accomplished with great difficulty today. Finally with a worried expression on my face, I started for school. Gosh, how was to I face DJ today?
However, controlling my nervous mind, I reached school. After the assembly and the attendance, our class teacher suddenly cleared her throat 3 times, which we all understood that it meant something important was coming up. The entire class was silent. What was it? What the hell was coming up?!
The class teacher felt mildly surprised by this sudden silence and said," Students, I have a very important announcement to make. Please listen carefully. Just like the last year, our school is ready to organize its 'Adventure Camp' once again. So you all have to sit for an aptitude test next Monday. The top two scorers of this test will get the chance to attend this prestigious camp with students from all over India. So volunteers please submit your names for the test here and kindly start preparing".....
And saying so, she left the class as the period ended....
It all happened in split seconds-Diya swung her arms tightly around DJ in front of the whole class,exclaiming that a year had passed since their relationship. All the students started hooting and teasing them. DJ tried his best to shake off Diya, with an utterly disgusted expression on his face and seeing that Diya was moving closer to DJ in a highly indecent manner, enclosing his neck with her arms and thrusting her body forward towards him, I stood up from my seat, marched to where she was embracing DJ, pulled them apart; and slapped Diya with all the might I could muster....
