47 Chilly Day

Finally today is the day of my exam. The awaited physics. I met up with Lacy and her team on the train.

It was an eventful day.

2-3 people became sick. Some fainted and one was pushed aside by the train.

Such mishaps made me, Lacy and Suzie fright. Imagine on such a day those mishaps forced us to believe that the paper is going to be something else.

Alex added oil to the fire. He was telling ,"Suppose you all fail, I will treat you all with delicacies. For this you need to fail. "

We said together" JUST shut up!! "

He got scared. The people were staring at us. And we were blushing. Stephen was blabbering all nonsense saying optics won't come, only quantum will be coming. We were already good enough to bomb quantum and all evil talks they sprouted.

Finally the station arrived and I heaved a sigh of relief. Lacy Suzie and I were together. Better than studying with those terrible uttering BOYs.

We reached the college.

Seriously! Our room was on the 3rd floor. It had drained almost all of my energy by the time we reached. Suzie's room was in another block.

Mine and Lacy were in the same room and same block. We occupied the stairs for revision. Our exam was from 2:00-5:00 p. m. And we reached at nearly 1:00 p. m just to be safe. Gray didn't arrive because he lives in a boys hostel. And Sky's house was nearby so he didn't arrive.

At around 1:45 p. m. Sky and Haruto came upstairs. Both together discussing and chatting. I looked at him. He didn't even look back.He straight away went to the room where the sitting arrangement was given, came back and was discussing and talking with Haruto. Stephen joined them. I didn't look afterwards...

I was engrossed in going through the notes. Also I felt a tinge of bitterness . I thought at least as a partner he could come over to me and ask me regarding the preparation or regarding the subject. But Nothing happened.

These random thoughts along with the notes were crossing my mind when he finally came and asked me regarding a topic. I moved my head towards Lacy to confirm the answer. Then he turned to Lacy and was reading from her copy. I was also reading the same page but why her's!

Then he went to Shelly and was reading her notes. Both were sitting beside me. I was sitting in between them on the stairs. Just think the one who wants to stay doesn't even get recognized.

I really didn't say a thing. But kept a brief amount of jealousy and a tinge of lonely feeling in my heart.

Soon the bell rang. We entered our respective classes. I was seated at the first bench in front of Sky. I got the question paper and understood the exam is not going to be a pleasant one. It was not that cold at that time. Fans were switched on. The invigilators strolled the room. Their eyes are even better than the cctv.

Some students were caught and were seated in the empty first benches. Or were exchanged with some. I continued struggling and scribbling. The paper consisted of 70 marks. And a few questions were wrong. Few I have never heard. Truly, university exams are really one of its kind. They are of different levels from our internals. But anyway I wrote everything.

The time was up. Sir collected the papers . And finally we left the prison. Lily was asking me if some questions were wrong or not. Alex was asking me regarding how many marks I left and how the exam was. Gray too asked the same.

Only Sky stepped out of the exam hall to say, "wasn't the paper too bad? "

Finally I got someone who was speaking in a sense. He was exclaiming how a wavelength of 10^12 can have the energy to produce the Compton effect. I was putting on my sweater. It was really cold by the time the exam ended and also it became dark.

He blushed a bit. I don't know why. Still now I'm confused. But just when our conversation started I got a bummer. Lacy!.

She was telling me, "Leave and come immediately otherwise I will be leaving you .".

I saw the time. It was really getting late, dark and cold. And Lacy was busy with brother Henry so she wouldn't waste a single moment at the college. We left. On our way we again met Stephen and Suzie. We set off for the station. We reached the station and scrolling through the app suddenly we found the boys to be missing.

Lacy, Suzie and I caught the train on time. The train left. Stephen called me up telling me that they would take the next one. I said okay. Suzie and I were having some food on the way while Lacy, oblivious to us, was constantly chatting with brother Henry. His major is Physics so she was discussing answers with him. Brother is so intelligent that he could answer only by listening to the questions. I offered to grab some food. But she was busy eating her boyfriend's head.

And Suzie and I were experiencing the warmth of the food cuz we are a barren land.

The station arrived. It became a chiller. I put on the head cap. Then finally I took the transport home. Shelly from another college, my school friend called me up and she too had her exam. Her one was. chemistry. And she was complaining that chemistry sucked while I complained the same regarding physics.

Our exam papers were set by the same university after all. Both sides of the paper were really terrible. I reached home all sucked up with a tinge of disappointment. Not for my tests rather for him. I lay on my bed and soon I fell fast asleep. In sleep too I couldn't comprehend what made him blush like that.

His blushing face remained in my mind for long.

What a chilly day it was!
