“Ring…ring…rin…,” the bell rang, and with the bell ringing I have officially survived the first class without any chaos or getting into any sorts of trouble.” Ash, hey Ash, Ashley Ashl……” the familiar voice grew louder and louder , I turned back but it was too late. The friendly smack had already been landed on my back. I shouted ‘Kates!’. “Stop doing this, how many times did I say you not to smack me uncertainly, uhhhh!”
“Well it was not uncertain this time girl, I called you so many times but you didn’t notice” she replied. I quickly observed that there was a sence of excitement on her face. “Guess what I’m goingtoflo…………..” she kept taking but it didn’t go through me, as she spoke so fast.
“Calm down kates”. She took a breath. She was literally panting, I mean what on earth happened that made her so excited! “Me…an..and..my.. family are going to Flo..rida tomorrow.…”. ‘Wow’ I replied. “But guess what’s the best part…. my pa has… invited you to come with us” she said with more excitement. ‘But’…”no buts! You are commin and both of us are gonna have lot of fun”. I tried to talk but she wouldn’t litsen.”Ring…ring…ri….” The bell rang for the second period.
“Meet you after the class Ash!” she said with a bright smile on her face. “Damn this bell, always ringing in wrong times,” I thought.
[Break time]
“Ash, over here” I looked around the cafeteria. “Oh! what took you so long. Its already past 5min”. “Nothing much….really..but thanks for saving a seat “. “No worries! after all we are besties” she said with a winky face 😉
Well I wish I could tell her that all this time I was planing how to say her no, but somewhere I didn’t wanted her to fell sad. But anyways I had to say it. “Hey… Kates?”. “Hmm.. what”,”actually. …t..he..thin..g”, “whats with the stuttering, come on tell me…wait dont tell me you did something wrong or wait something even worse did you get a new boyfriend…..or..no..maybe you…”she continued.
“I cant go. I’m sorry I should have said it earlier but I didn’t get a chance..and on the top of that you were sooo excited about it. I know we have been making plans about it for months…but moms gonna be back tomorrow so….”. It took a while but then she smiled and replied ” Its okay, girl.” I knew she was sad but still she had a smile on her face. Quite a while later she burst out shouting——-
“But litsen next summer vacations we are going to Florida together Oookayyy!….and nobody is gonna stop us then.” I was startled and replied ‘oh.. ya’. I couldn’t go with her, but it made me a little better atleast after seeing her in her ——— old always energetic self.
“So when’s Mrs. Dey commin….”. ‘Tom…’, “wait..didn’t you mentioned it earlier….when was it….. Oh! Ya is’nt it tomorrow” . ‘Yup’ I said. “You are also gonna leave tomorrow right, well be carefull and dont go around roaming without anyone like last time…. Remember it was such an embarrassment! :).”
“Hey it was not my fault okay.!!” She said in an irritating manner.
“But seriously be careful, after all you are travelling across the country”. ‘Ya..okay..okay…dont worry I will be cautious ;)’
“You better be or else, like last time….” “You better not utter a word about it Ash”.
I started laughing while she was a bit pissed off.
“At the end of the day…. all it matters that both of us were happy, no matter how sad we were through out the day, but we will be returning home with a smile in our faces.” I told myself.
School ended at last, and my watch was ticking at two in the afternoon. It was quite an unusual day. School somehow seemed peaceful today, except the 3rd period when Roger was bothering me! What’s even his problem….such an annoying brat!
“So…when are you guys leaving tomorrow?”
“Unmm…well pa said early morning…but I’m not kinda sure…..what about you, when’s aunt Dey commin back?”
“Well I dont really know the time but….ma said she would be comming tomorrow…..”
We stoped walking cause my destination was right in front of me, while Kete’s was a few stoppage after.
“Well so we are gonna separate paths here” she said. I was going to reply but she surprised me with a sudden hug. I got it,it was because me not going with her this year, afterall every year in any holiday, we used to spend together———–atleast as far as I could REMEMBER.
“Dont worry its just for a month, and after that we will again be together! So enjoy Florida and dont forget to send me updates okay.” I replied shouting on the top of my throat, she smiled. “Okay…..and stay healthy dont go on some stupid diet to loose weight, you are perfect as you are now so no need to change, but you can always change that weird attitude of yours.” she shouted from the edge of the street, as I stood there and watched Kate waving her hands towards me, untill her presence was no longer be observed.
