I washed up and quickly started my PC.
"I'll just message him quickly then go offline"
"Okay
I really don't know what to say actually
First off, sorry I didn't tell you earlier, didn't intend to hide it from you.
Secondly, I'm not sure if that's a good enough reason to ignore me. I might have had an emergency or something and you'll have probably ignored me too. Anyway, we can put this behind us can't we?"
Then I went offline.
I had other things to get to and I wasn't going to allow anyone to spell it out for me.
* 8 pm
Phew! finally done with all those chores. I decided to come online.
Yash
"I'm so sorry I ignored you, I was actually kind of mad at myself. I should've figured it out, you've always complained of your eyes so it was kind of expected. We good now?"
"Yes sure, see you tomorrow" then I closed the tab.
Now let's find out what a prospectus is?
Turns out it's a pamphlet or perhaps a brochure about what a school offers.
*sigh*
And she wants us to make this. Alone?
Okay, but I definitely need more than 3 cardboards.
Thankfully, I'm not a thrower. I statch useful art supplies away for future use and so I decided to get them and put them to use.
Then I went offline. Thinking back to Yash, I hope we don't have any more uproar.
But that didn't happen. In fact, worse happened.
A week later, the whole class had resumed and Mar was done with her prospectus.
I hadn't even started mine. All I packed together were pieces of cardboard. The whole class gathered around her admiring it. Not that I was jealous, I just didn't see the need. Yeah, her prospectus was okay. It really lacked details of the school. Apart from the school picture and Mrs Sonya's. The other details were not needed. She did well by using pictures by the way. I never thought of that. Thanks, Marđ
Mrs Lara urged others to do theirs as well before she turns it into an assessment.
So much for starting a new termđ„
Yash and I started to talk again and things were going pretty well. Until one afternoon, Hiam decided to mention that we used to chat. Don't get me wrong, Yash had no problem with who I chatted with but he just took that into consideration. Hiam thought it was high time we started to communicate physically as well and I didn't see any problem with it.
Truth be told, Hiam had grown taller than before. In fact, everyone had, well except me. He tried to control his voice so it didn't sound so think except that, he was total eye candy. I liked him- as a friend. Someone who get me and someone I could rely on. But then, maybe if we started talking physically before he told everyone, it would've looked much better.
Yash didn't mention it though. I guess he already knew we chatted so that wasn't news to him. Or at least I hoped so.
The deadline for the prospectus was in two days.
*Home
Okay, I have to do this then.
I need a cover, hmm what can I use?
I tore the back of my sketch pad and folded it into three parts.
"Well, this is hard enough"
Did I decide to cover it with blue cardboard?
Yes.
why?
Because my school's main colour is blue
I proceeded to line the inside and make a border
After a while, I had finished with the cover and now I needed to plan the context.
First, we need contact info, the mission and the vision of the school. Curriculum, extra curriculum activities. Special offers like the sickbay(pretty sure this is essential by the way), the ICT room and the laboratory. A quote or two from the school head. Then closing adage or motto.
After putting that together, I opened my PC and checked on how to write cursive. I only knew Nelson and to me. Typing would have been really good but at least here I was open to using different colours of pen. So I also wanted to go top notch and Cursive was it.
3 am
Phew! Done.
I can finally submit it. I was too tired to add pictures.
I placed it carefully into my bag and kissed myself good night, or rather a good morning. I still went to sleep though.
Getting to school, Yash had also done his and I was the only one left. Mrs Sonya saw my work and admired it. It was spectacular she said
She then mentioned, Why don't you add pictures? I'll give you a yearbook you can cut out the pictures you need.
Don't worry, I'll inform Mrs Lara so as not to get you into trouble.
Later that day Hiam came up to meet me.
"Hey, can you tell me how you did it"
"Err," I said looking around. I felt Aba's eyes on me. "Why can't I just call you okay" I squinted my eyes hoping he'll understand.
No, he didn't. My statement just earned another pair of eyes; Yash's
'"Okay later" I agreed not wanting to continue the conversation.
"Sure" Hiam smiled and walked away.
Later that day, We had Biology.
Fortunately, Our teacher had explained the note and it was time for us to write.
Mar and Hiam shared a laptop, Kara, Ahji and I shared another and Yash and Aba had one to themselves.
A few minutes later,
"Can I join someone else please" Hiam spoke up" Mar has decided to write extremely slow today"
I looked over to Aba's but they acted like they were deaf
Whatever I mentally rolled my eyes.
"Sure, you could join us"
"Hiam soon scurried to my side and we began to write"
Before you know it, I started using one of Justin's songs 'Baby' and Hiam joined me, we went on and on laughing and singing together. Even Kara chipped in sometimes but not Ahji. I feel like she liked country more.
Mar was pretty much on another planet as she gave up on writing and her head was on her desk.
Aba and Yash on the other hand had this gloomy expression. It was like they just lost a great sum of money
đDidn't bother me one bit.
Soon enough, the school was over and I was almost done with the note, Hiam, Kara, and Ahji followed the bus, so they had to leave immediately
"Hem, can I take my laptop," Hiam asked Aba
I looked over and waited for a response.
'yes, but we aren't done" Aba replied.
"You can join me," I said almost squealing.
"Thanks" Hiam winked and I smiled back
"Bye" he later said so I waved at him
I guess talking physically isn't as bad as I thought.
I looked over at Yash and Aba but it looked like they weren't willing to join me
"Your choice," I said internally and kept on singing I looked like I didn't care but I actually did.
Two lines to the end of the note and Yash joined me, followed by aba.
I was going to strike a conversation but I knew better not to. I stopped singing instead, as tension began to rise rapidly.
