Chapter-23

The heart is the swirl of emotions

-+--++------+-------+--+-------+--++--++---------;-;:

The sun is not the same anymore it's burning; burning again in the hope that the world will change.

I looked at the sun and found it was shining in the sky so proud that no one can ever take his place then saw Sarah on the campus. She was destructively looking at me; not just looking at me she was staring at me from head to toe and Tony was with her giving me a goofy look as well.

Something is telling me I need to run back to the woods and stare at the sky all day but my rebellious heart was beating fast and I, Julia have that much audacity to stand in the crowd so I just stood there looking an eye to eye with her waiting for her to make first so that I could punch her on her face!

However, she smirked and walked away, only then did I see Tony was rushing to me.

"Oh someone is PMSing, " he giggled.

I swear to God I want to kill him right now!

"Oh someone wants to get dead!" I smirked back, raising my eyebrows.

"You know you have no idea!" He whispered in almost coming so close to me!

"About what?" I maintained a respectable distance from him.

He looked at me for a moment, then mumbled never mind, and walked away.

****

Everyone in the corridor was as much excited as this world has been declared a wonderful place again. And I have no idea why my heart was searching for those pair of eyes maybe I wanted to punch him! Yes, that's what he deserves! Because of him, I got late yesterday and now he is nowhere to be seen!

"So what are you doing here all alone?" It was Samuel and his presence that was obnoxious because he is looking at me as I am the moon of the night.
Maybe I am just asserting maybe I am not but I had got this strange feeling that everything is bewitching here with the beauty of the sun.

"Finding my way, of course, " I didn't try to look at him because I didn't want to.

"Hope you are coming tonight!"
He looked at me with the serenity of hope but I couldn't help and wonder why is he being so gentle to me?

What is the fishy business here? Or maybe I am asserting too much but when I looked at his eyes I found him staring at me. But why is he staring at me? Why can't he just look at someone else? Does he always need to stare?

I am not the type of woman he should think about in his dreams.

"Tonight? What are you talking about?" I was dumbfounded with no clue?
What is he talking about???

"Sarah has invited everyone to her new house long, in short, she is throwing a party to showcase to everyone, not everyone may be most of us how rich she is!" That was Alisha speaking while walking in my direction.

"Who wants to go to her ridiculous party anyway?"
I raised an eyebrow.

"No-one, exactly that's my point!" Finally, I found someone as sane as I am.

"Yes, it's ridiculously overwhelmed with all the good for nothing things!"

I guess no one wants to stand Sarah.
Her attitude is beyond everything! She thinks if one is rich; can do everything but she forgot about the power of the brain and words and one must not forget about the most valuable power of the universe.

"Oh come on now don't tell me nobody asked you out!"
Sam was pointing out his tongue to her. His cheeky smile was glorifying his face and the sun was radiating its shine just above him.

But my dear what is he talking about? Asking out??? Who is going to ask out to whom???

"Elaborate!" Her deathly glare was there to make everything turn cold, hard, and never forgetful but what's up with this all about?

What's going on on the campus? As I roamed my eyes all round in the wonder to find some solution I found everyone was in the pair whispering in each other ears holding nothing but their words. And there is nothing more captivating than words!

"Sarah has invited everyone and we are in a university so everyone has to go with their partner, "

What nonsense? Why partner? What is a need for it! Can't people alone can do fun? She always wants to do something like this!

"So???? Julia???"

His eyes were numb at first and fierce at second, I might be wrong to read them but he was looking at me as he had nothing else to do!

I am not a magician but I can see he is holding something!

"What??? "

"Oh, Dear Alisha where have been you? I was looking all around the corner to see the glint of your eyes in mine so tell me would like to go with me? Would you like to be my partner for today's evening prestigious event of this human race?"

Oh my God!

What are we in the 19th century?

This was Tony who was almost on his knees kneeling his guts to the woman named Alisha when all is she doing blushing though I can see in her eyes, in her dreamy eyes that she is going to say yes and forget about all the things related to Sarah!

"Oh come on, I would have given my kidney to you too after this stupendous act of yours!"

See! This is the problem of girls or precisely I say, women! Their heart is deep, calm, soft and vulnerable which will engrave everything to its depth without knowing the consequences of it.

And I don't want to be like this! Never!
I don't want to become vulnerable, at least not in this life.

"So Julia???"

"Oh come on Sam! If you want to ask her out just say it! What is wrong with you? you saw right there how Tony asked me? Didn't you?"

He ignored her in a stare and looked back at me with his smirk at this time.

By the way, he has no idea I hate smirks!

"So Julia????"

"I am busy tonight Sam! You better find some other girl, "

I felt something in my chest something heavy as smoke was floating on it but what can I say? I don't want him to assume that I am inquisitive in him.

And at the last, I don't want to dive into a swirl of emotions when I have so much to do!

Because I know what will happen if I go with him tonight!
Things will be changed forever, and I, Julia am afraid of change where I cannot get control of myself.

And the most important thing is I am not invited! It's good that I am not invited because I might kill that girl with my own hands and something is telling me that would not be a very wonderful act to do that!

****

"You know Sarah invited me too, I am so happy now I am going to see all the lavish things in her house!"

"Today's night is going to be so grand that we could never imagine in our life!"

"She invited all of us irrespective of our status maybe she is good by heart. You know what I think she is not bad at all she is perfect!"

Yeah perfect with all those fake things and made-up scenarios, I wanted to say it aloud but controlled myself to not make an issue anymore.

I went to the class to radiate my energy into something productive than to all these things

****

Mr Peter was already there with his sterling look; like one wrong word by me and he will suspend me forever.

"Hey, you the Indian girl, what's up with the attitude? Why you are late!"

Why does always has to bring that I am an Indian can't he just call me by name?

"Now you are just going to stare at me or going to answer my question??" His tone was authoritative.

I opened my mouth but no voice came by.

My mind wasn't working at that time everyone was looking at me as I had grown an extra head.

"She is late because of me Professor, "

It was Neel Malhotra! He was already in the class taking the notes.

But why? Why he did do this? He doesn't have to do anything for me has had done enough! How am I going to repay him for all the things?

"No, Professor. I was..'

"out both of you right now!" These were his last words.

I don't know but Mr Peter doesn't look in a good condition for the past two to three weeks. Whatever the reason may be but still, he is being very rude he should have given me at least a chance!

"Oh come on come with me!"

He came out of nowhere whispered into my ears and when I was inclined to distance myself from him he grabbed my hand inclined it into him, pulled me and started running as the world is about to end anytime soon.

"Stop!"

"Stop please, I can't breathe!"

When he stopped I looked at my surroundings we were in the fields where the sun was singing bright in the sky and the wind was flowing in every direction only the time didn't want to stop it was running fast. Running in the direction of infinity where everything turns into nothing.

He looked at me, to my eyes held it for a moment then he rested his gaze above my head.

"Let's bunk!"

"What? are you mad?" I wanted to slap him and tell him that it is so wrong to do this!

"Oh come one we will miss only one lecture and something is telling me you are intelligent enough to understand everything that those professors taught us!"

"But I don't want to be mad!" There is no way to do this! Things will fall apart I know.

"You don't want to be mad but you want to be stupid!"

His words aren't making any sense!

"But-"

"Be mad, at least for today with me!"

Before I let go of his hold he grabbed my hand more powerfully this time and started running again wherever the wind was taking us.
