In the chemistry lab I was partnered up with Sky and Husky. This time another type of arrangement was there for the practical. I was busy pippeting 10ml.Husky was in charge of the volumetric flask and Sky was drawing the table making it ready along with placing the burette onto the holder.
After pippeting was done. I came back. And finally all the procedures started. The t.i.tration was done by Sky. Next Sky went to pippete. I was busy with filling up of burette. When Sky came back I recalled that he didn"t wash the pipette.
Thinking of the thing which I had seen only in web series made me even more shy. Soon the practical task was over and we were relieved.
As I was heading towards the cla.s.s I again felt a creepy aura which was cautioning me.
"Sonnet are you done dazing! "
"Sorry Lacy, Something is really bothering me. "
"What ? You can always tell me about anything that bothers you. "
"To be honest I am getting a feeling that someone is following me. To be precise creeping me out. "
"Stay with me then. Don"t go anywhere. Actually I"m also getting a similar vibe since morning that someone is indeed following you. "
"Then I"m not the one actually thinking that. "
"What are you discussing with her? "
"It"s Girly stuff don"t bother us Sky. "
"Let me also hear. "
"It"s nothing. Actually Lacy was cautioning me to be focussed. I"m usually dazing that"s why. "
"I should have known that you are always in another world. "
"See you Sky, I will go to the canteen with Lacy. "
"Yeah, Bye. "
"Why did you suddenly plan to go to canteen? "
"Actually I"m thinking if that person would follow us to the canteen. "
"Smart Girl! "
"I"m always smart hmph. "
"Yeah, Smartness in Daze."
"Lacy let"s go. "
"Yeah otherwise we would be late. "
The canteen was filled with the aroma of delicious but cheap food. Some were with their lovers showcasing their affection by feeding each other. Some were in a big group with bottles of c.o.ke.
"What a tragic day! All are making me feel single today.
" Lacy do you feel anything aloof? "
"No.It"s perfectly fine seems.. "
"Actually I feel the same. "
"It"s been a long time since we had our lunch in the canteen right! "
"Yeah.You know Henry is planning to have a date with me. Uff it"s so awesome. "
"Great, Good going for you lovebirds. And another one added in our group. "
"Yeah, Ellie. I know. But I never imagined that she would be with Stephen. "
"Seriously, Like h.e.l.l they used to quarrel during previous semester! "
"Wow food is served. Dig in."
"Yep."
Our breaktime was over. We came back to cla.s.s together. Again the same tension. This time I turned back immediately. I saw Husky gazing.
"Do you need anything Husky? "
"Actually I wanted to say something to you for a long time but I was confused. Will you help me regarding something? "
"Of course if it"s within my scope. "
"Actually I had written a short story can you proof read it. "
"No problem. I will help you. "
"Thank you very much. I"m relieved after a long time. "
"No need to be shy. If it"s regarding any help you need I will surely help you and if have problem I will surely take your help. "
"Yeah"
I smiled at him. And that was the moment I felt the gaze vanished. The anxiety dissipated finally.
