EPISODE:57

           ... "For what are you behaving weird today?", she asked me angrily.

"Look, Sophie...I don't think I want to be friends with you or speak to you after what you've-", I said and I couldn't even complete my sentence. Tears filled my eyes...I started walking away from there... I just couldn't believe it! 'Soph-cute-funny?'....clearly, I was jealous and the only question I kept running in my mind was that why do I have to be jealous if two people are happy and content together? Truly, I had no answer to my own thought.

                            ******************

  During the break, I did not go to the cafeteria and no way was I going to go in there. Instead, I went to the library, sat in a silent corner, and started reading a random book and it turned out such a boring book, I closed it, got up, kept it back in the nearest shelf, and turned. Standing right in front of me was-Ethan. He looked at me and I did the same because clearly, what was left to do?

"What is wrong?", he asked me.

"What did I tell you this morning?", I said.

"You told me to not speak to you", he said, "...and I am sorry but I can't do that."

"Listen, just please leave me alone!", I said and got out of there. He did follow, of course. It felt like he was going to follow me until I started talking to him again.

"Daisy!", he called my name for the millionth time. I was tired of hearing my own...not gonna lie.

"Stop following me! There is no amount of difference between you and that stalker!", I said quite loudly this time. His face fell. I knew I had been rude and impolite...but what else could I do to make him stop following me??? I don't know how do I describe the hunger that was troubling me during the post-lunch lectures. It was my fault. Who told me to not eat food during the break? I was so hungry...forget focusing I wasn't even mentally present in the lecture hall. I looked at Sophie who was glancing at me from time to time...As the last lecture of the longest and the worst day got over, I quickly went to the bike stand...Ethan's bike was not there.'Thank God!!!', I thought to myself. But, when I went home and opened the door, I got a big surprise. He was there, sitting on the couch.'Great! Just great!', I thought. I stopped at the doors.

"You won't come in today?", Lucy asked. I looked at Ethan and gave him the most annoyed look I could and after that, I ran upstairs and locked my room.

"Daisy! I am not here to meet you! I am here to meet grandma!", I heard Ethan's voice from down the stairs. Now, of course, I couldn't just sit in my room all day long...I was starving.

"You better come down and eat something...you didn't have your lunch, remember?", came his voice again.'How on earth does he know that!!!?', I thought in my mind. I unlocked the door and went downstairs...he was gone till then. There was a fruit cake on the table. I ate one slice, then I ate one more slice and then I took one more slice...I told you I was starving.

"Lucy, when did you bake this cake...it's so delicious!", I said, taking another bite.She looked at me, expressionless.

"What? When did you make this?", I asked again.

"Ethan got it...I didn't bake it..."
