So when we last talked I had told you about how I had discovered that this girl called Jennifer had a thing for me. This news came to me via my best friend at that time Vysakh so I believed it completely. I later found out that while the girl had indeed said that she found me interesting that was pretty much all she said and all she meant but for the moment unaware of this truth I was happy. Come on, how many 11th grade guys (that too sitcom addicts) can resist the euphoria that comes with knowin that a girl (that too a cute one and well mannered) was into them.
So i kicked myself into idiot mode which is as follows. I become super clingy and super desperate and hyper possessive. The rib tickling fact here being that I was possessive over something which I in no way actually possessed (so I dont know if the technically correct word to use here is 'Craving' ). How she put up with it as long as she did is something which I will never understand, maybe she found in me something which was worth all the bullshit.
So while these guys were taken all around the town by the school authorities the respective hosts got to travel along with them which allowed me to spend a lot of time with them by which I mean with her. Another point to note here is that while their stated reason for the exchange trip was for cultural exchange and all that kinda hooey what they were actually doing was taking a goddamn holiday sponsored by their school. The guy Kreasen was actually goin out with one of the girls in the group (the one with the funniest name, Prindhavani...I mean....seriously...what is that, some kinda creeper or vine ? ) and so whenever they got a chance to be alone, they went at it like a pair of sex crazed monkeys (which on thinking about it, they actually were..so there..).
A few kids from my school, students from the fourth grade or so, saw these two smooching away like there was no tomorrow. This news spread like wildfire and soon everyone was talking about these libertines brazenly displaying their hedonistic tendencies (yea....800 in GRE verbal beeyach!! sorry). The school turned a deaf ear to this since they did not want an embarrassing exchange between themselves and the south african school. One can almost imagine the phone conversation (warning: dialogue section coming up)
my school: hey there
them: hello
us: theres been an incident
them: what kind of incident?
us: two of your students were caught kissing in the school.
them: kissing what?
us: kissing what????!!! why each other...what else could they be kissing?
them: trust us...you do not want to know..
(dark and threatening music in the background)
us:What is that music?
them: oh sorry..one moment, kids not here...band practice in the cow shed..the pig sty is temporarily the office remember? run along now.....yes, so where were we?
us: students...hmph..caught kissing...hmph..how should we deal with this?
them: well, you could take them to the chieftain of your village and he would see justice dispensed...this is what we would do
us: the village chief? right....(hangs up)
them: hello?....hello?.....(static comes through the line and the officer of the school starts to jot down corresponding morse code alphabets since this has been a long time hobby of his and he is glad that this indian school has decided to make the communication interesting..)
therefore, as I was saying, my school turned a deaf ear which was easy also since our office clerk was half deaf anyway, so we had one of those ready.
One day, these idiots and Jennifer, went on a trip to some resort kinda place, and this time around we hosts were not taken. I spent a boring day at school and learnt absolutely nothing at all which was an improvement over my average 11th standard day during which I would actually forget something and as a result come home more stupid than when I went to school in the morning. When they came back to the city and to the respective houses, Jennifer called me up and this is how it went.
Me: Hello?
Jennifer: Hello. It is amazing to hear your voice. I missed it.
Now, guys out there, tell me true, how awesome would that sound if it had happened to you. Suffice to say I was on cloud number 32564ASD, I had asked for cloud number 9 but that'd been reserved in advance by some guy called norbert who aced his basic algebra exam. I heard that he went on to become a dork.
Then one day, we were all to go to this hill station kinda place called Wagamon. During all the time that they were here and of all my interactions with her, this has been the strangest and worst. I shall recount it in full in the next post. By this point of time the guy Kreasen had moved out of my place and was living with this other guy who was a complete nut but he had some clout in the school since his mom was a teacher there (one of the nicest ladies out there btw).
We started out in the mornin and I had along with me my best buddy Vysakh and my current target, Jennifer and so I was as happy as possible. Things started going wrong pretty early and once they started going bad it was impossible to pull them back.
However, that tale is for the next post.
Magus.
