 COLLEGE DIARIES

         

EPISODE:71

       ...It was Monday of the new week, I saw Pete while I was going towards the locker section to grab my books.

"Hey! Daisy?"

"Hi."

"I heard about Ethan...it was a misery to hear...", he said.

"I know...but he's alright now, thank God!"

"Oh, and yes!...", he said and started rummaging in his backpack.'Which book did you forget this time, Daisy?!', were the words running in my mind. But he didn't remove a notebook, instead, he took out what looked like a bunch of notes. "Here...these are last weeks' notes since you missed college...maybe, they will be helpful.", he said, giving them to me.

"Thanks a ton, Pete!"

"No...no problem, Daisy. By the way, have you guys started speaking?", he questioned. I nodded with a smile. That day, during the lecture breaks, as I and Sophie headed over to the hallways, I told her about Ethan's 'I love you'.Her reaction was priceless. In short, it was overreacting. She dropped her books(though I don't know if that was because she was shocked or you know, 'overreacting') and said,

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Oh my God, Daisy! What did you tell? What was your expression? What were you-"

"Stop!", I said, laughing and covering my ears. That kind of behavior was total, one hundred percent expected from Sophie.

"I told him that I don't because-"

"What? Whyyyyyyyyy????!!!!", she shouted again. Her expressions made me laugh one again as I said,

"Am I allowed to complete my sentence, Sophie?".She looked embarrassed,

"Oh, sorry. Go ahead, sure."

"Okay. Thank you So, I was mad at him back then and-".Again she cut off my statement.

"You mean you were angry so you said you don't...what would you have said if you weren't mad at him?", she asked with a half-smile. 

"It's a whole different story!"

"It isn't! You are hiding it, Miss.Daisy.Anyway, you can't hide it from me...now that I know!"

"Okay, Sophie, jokes apart! So, why am I telling you this is because I think he just told me that because he wanted to be friends with me again? Or to cool me off because I was so mad at him?", I asked. She rolled her eyes,

"Why can't you believe someone's statement of true love! He loves you, get it? He-", but I quickly covered her mouth as she was getting louder with each word.

"I think it's time for class, let's go?", I asked.

"Whatever. Lets' go.", she replied. During lunchtime, we sat on our usual spot at the cafeteria while Ethan hadn't arrived till then.

"Hey, Daisy!", I heard my name. I turned around and 'snap!' went the camera in Ethan's hands. I got up from the chair and tried to take the camera from him,

"What nonsense, Ethan! Give me the camera. I need to delete that picture!".He lifted up the camera in his hands and laughed,

"No way! That is such a nice picture! No way will you delete it!"

"Okay, fine! Show me the picture.", I said, folding my hands.

"Kay. Promise you won't click the 'delete' button?", he asked with a smile.

"I won't."

"Okay, here you go!", he said and showed me the picture. I didn't look 'that bad' but again, I wasn't smiling and my face had that 'question-mark' face. Like when someone calls you and you turn around.

"Why didn't you tell me that you want to photograph? I would have agreed?"

"Because I wouldn't get this expression if I told you that!", he said with a grin.
