Best Friends...

The clouds had disappeared
and the sun was shining bright outside. The birds were singing and the wind
blew like an entity that was just set free for a long time. The sky was its
typical blue colour ready for a new day.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
Heer jumped to the sound of her alarm clock ringing
loudly in her ears at her usual time 7:15. She was having a happy dream of her and some guy whose
face she couldn't see dancing in the rain. She was just about to see his face
when her stupid alarm clock started ringing. She grumbled and swore loudly as she brushed a strand of dark brown
hair from her eyes and stretched her legs out underneath the warm covers of her
bed. Many thoughts dashed about in her mind, including her boring schedule for
the day. Heer stirred a little as the sunlight shone on her face. She
half-opened one eye, still barely awake, then closed it again and rolled over,
turning away from the sunlight. The room felt unusually warm tonight, forcing
her to go back to sleep. She had slept late last night because of Prem who had
kept her up on the phone all night. She swore at him under her breath looking
at the photograph of him and her on her bedside table and then with her eyes
still shut she stretched her arms out blindly reaching for the clock and
turning it off. Waking up in the morning was the worst part her day and she
hated doing it. She pulled the covers over her face and held the pillow against
her ears cuddling up.
"Why is my bed always so
comfortable in the morning?" She mumbled to herself sleepily. She lay
there a few minutes longer before falling asleep again.
Half an hour later she heard
her phone ringing. She groaned softly and sat up. Resting her head in her hands
for a moment, she rubbed her eyes and yawned. After her eyes adjusted to the
light and her vision cleared, Heer then looked over at the alarm clock on her
desk and with a sudden outburst freaked out.
"7:45!" She howled,
"Oh shit!" She screamed, jumping out of her bed, "Crap! I'm late
again!"
She ran into her bathroom
pulling of her pyjamas and flicking on the dim light. She pulled her long dark
brown hair, which was cut in very subtle layers, out of its messy ponytail
running into her shower. "I am so dead!" She thought turning the
water on and hissing as ice cold water pelted her skin.
She dried off and ran back
into her room, not bothering to dry her hair; she emptied out her closet
finding something to wear and then quickly pulled on an orange knee length
dress. Her head was aching and she swore under her breath cursing herself
loudly. Running downstairs into the kitchen she grabbed hold of her bag
stuffing all her books in and threw a piece of bread in her mouth at the same
time. She quickly put her black gladiator sandals on and then sprinted out the
door running all the way to her college.
She ran through the hall way
and ran all the way to her first lesson which was maths. The door was closed
and she moaned to herself thinking, "I am Sooooo dead!"
She took a deep breath and
then swallowed before taking a step forward. Counting to three she placed her
hand on the class room door firmly and slowly pushed it open. Every single pair
of eyes in the room turned to look at her. She swallowed and then turning
towards the teacher, "I'm...I'm sooo sorry I'm late Mrs Stewart!" She whispered her voice croaking.
Mrs Stewart glared at Heer,
slowly walking towards her with a massive grin spread across her face. The grin
slowly disappeared as she got closer. Heer softly stared, taking a small step
back; her eyes grew wide as the teacher looked down into her face.
"HEEEEEER THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS WEEK YOU'VE BEEN LATE TO MY
LESSON!" She roared at the top of her voice causing every soul in the
class to sit up straight in their seat.
Heer jumped back and then
quickly whimpered "I...I...I know Miss I'm extremely sorry I swear!"
She turned to look at her best friend who was sitting right at the back of the
classroom in his seat. His long, dark brown hair, which lay just over his
radiant brown eyes, was windswept to one side. He was swinging on his seat with
his pencil in his mouth and grinned as she turned to look at him. Heer glared
at him and then gave him the, "you wait till I get there"
Look.
Mrs Stewart moved Heers face
towards herself, "HEER! I'M TALKING TO YOU!"
Heer gulped loudly afraid of
what was going to happen next, "yes miss sorry!" She whispered
smiling back at her teacher.
"HEER THIS IS THE THIRD
TIME YOU HAVE INTERRUPTED MY LESSON!! Is there anything wrong at home? Any
problems?"
Heer stared, "No
Miss." She squealed her voice slowly fading away.
"Any teenage
problems?" Asked the teacher with a slight smirk on her face.
"No miss!" She
replied rolling her eyes.
"Any Boyfriend
problems?"
Nooooo Miss! She mumbled once
again trying to keep her temper in control.
"Hmmmm has this got
anything to do with your dear friend....Prem?" She said turning to face
Prem who was staring back at her with a beautiful smile that complemented his
face really well. "The two of you always seem to be stewing up TROUBLE
together!"
Heer glared at Prem and then
quietly replied, "No Mrs Stewart."
"Then WHY are you
arriving late to SCHOOL and especially to MY LESSON!?" She screamed
alarming every single student in the class who seemed to be enjoying themselves
quite a lot.
Heer scrunched her eyes gritting
her teeth at Prem who was smiling back at her and sitting in his seat like this
was a cinema hall then quickly said, "Uhhh...um...because I woke up late
miss I'm sorry."
"WHY ARE YOU WAKING UP
LATE!? YOU ARE WASTING TIME FOR EVERY BODY ELSE'S EDUCATION! DO YOU REALLY NOT
CARE?! IF THEY FAIL ITS ALL YOU'RE FAULT!"
A husky masculine voice
sitting at the back of the class spoke up, "No Miss if we fail it just
shows how rubbish of a teacher you are!"
Everyone burst out laughing
turning to look at Prem and showing him the thumbs up. "PREM I DON'T
REMEMBER ASKING YOU TO COMMENT!" Mrs Stewart barked walking towards him,
"GET OUT OF MY CLASSROOM NOW!"
Prem rolled his eyes quickly
packing away, "Thank you soo much miss I was afraid I might fall asleep if
I stayed in her for another minute."
Heer looked at Prem and then
quickly defended, "No miss! He didn't mean that! He's just joking!"
Prem picked up his books and started leaving.
"SIT DOWN NOW
PREM!" Mrs Stewart screamed.
Prem pulled up his sleeves,
"Well can you please make your mind up! First you tell me to leave then
you tell me to sit down...GOD who do you think I am!?"
Mrs Stewart was fuming with
anger, "MRS HEER MAAN 15 MINUTES OFF YOUR BREAK TIME FOR ARRIVING LATE TO
MY LESSON AGAIN AND IF YOU COME LATE AGAIN YOU WILL BE DEALT WITH SERIOUSLY!
NOW GO AND SIT DOWN! AND YOU PREM BE WARNED!" She growled pointing her
finger at the two of them. Heer quickly walked over and sat down in her seat
next to Prem.
Mrs Steward walked back up to
the white board turning to face everyone. She was fuming with anger, "COPY
THESE NOTES IN TO YOUR BOOK NOW!" She commanded. Heer quickly took her
book and pen out and started copying the notes in her book obediently.
As soon as the teacher was
facing the board Heer turned to look at Prem, "You Freak! What the hell is
wrong with you? Why didn't you ring on my bell?" She whispered as quietly
as possible.
"I did but you didn't
answer!" Prem opened his book to the next clean page and started copying
the notes from the board.
"Ummmm why didn't you
call me!?" She huffed pinching him.
Prem grinned rubbing his
shoulder where she had pinched him, "I did, I swear I did! I called you
once but you didn't answer and then after that, uhhh Vanessa called me so I
couldn't call you back!"
Heer turned to look at Prem twitching her eye,
"Who the hell is this Vanessa now!? Huh? I thought you were going out with
Lisa?"
Prem rolled his eyes as if he
had just heard the most insane thing ever, "Heer you're so slow I broke up
with her yesterday! She wasn't a good enough kisser and didn't know how to keep
her spit in control; I mean how disgusting is that?"
"Ewww Prem you're so
sick!" She screeched making puking sounds. Prem nodded in agreement.
"Why am I even talking to you?" Heer argued turning to face away from
him, "I hate you just get lost to your stupid girlfriends! All because of
you I got to school late today!"
Prem opened his mouth in
shock, "excuse me?" he retorted back at her.
"Don't you excuse me! I
told you to let me go to sleep last night but you just kept going, "Five
More Minutes," blah blah blah until it was 4:00 in the morning!" She
snapped hitting her fist on the table loudly.
"Well, how comes I
managed to get to school on time!? Huh? Huh? Huh?" He retorted poking her
continuously.
Heer pushed his hand away,
"because you're a freak! Just Get lost I'm not talking to you and I'm
never ever talking to you on the phone at night ever again!"
"Heer seriously?!"
He moaned sitting up straight.
"Shut up." She
grumbled. Prem and Heer got so busy in their conversation that they forgot how
loud they were talking, everyone were staring at them.
"Heer why are you taking
this so seriously!? I said I'm sorry! At least I tried!" He begged.
She nudged his arm away,
"go talk to your Vanessa why do you care about me?"
Prem pulled her arm "OMG
Heer please!"
"Prem stop it!"
Said Heer pushing him away.
"I won't stop until you
speak to me!" He started poking her arm grinning. Heer looked up and
saw the teacher staring at them. She quickly nudged Prem away with her
elbow and started pretending to be concentrating like a good girl. Prem sat
their continuing to poke Heer, he pulled her arm, "Heeer guess what?"
She stomped his foot under
the table, "Prem shut. Up. Please!" She muttered through gritted teeth.
Prem shrieked, "Ow what
the hell was that for?" He bent down rubbing his foot.
"Mrs Stewart!" Heer groaned quitely trying to get the message across to him.
"What about her?!" asked grumpily. He sat up straight in his seat and turned to look at Mrs Stewart. "Ohhh umm Hi!" He said waving back at the teacher with a smile.
She smiled back at him for a second and then glared at him horribly standing
up. "No?" The smile on
Prems face disappeared when he realized that she was actually being serious. He
quickly turned around sinking his head into the table and started working.
Prem could hear someone
walking towards him but he pretended to not notice and continued to work. Heer
nudged Prem under the table guiding him to look up with her eyes. Prem slowly
looked up and saw someone standing at his desk, "Um Hey!" Said Prem
smiling at his teacher secretly praying that everything would be ok. Mrs
Stewart bent down so she was face to face with him. The smile on Prems Face
disappeared as he pleadingly looked at the teacher whispering,
"Sorry."
"PREM! THAT IS 15
MINUTES OFF YOUR BREAK TIME AS WELL FOR INTERRUPTING MY LESSON AND DISTURBING
HEER!! AND STOP SWINGING ON THAT CHAIR!!!" She howled causing Prem to
jump.
"I am so sorry
Miss." Prem whimpered quietly. Heer burst out laughing seeing the scared
expression on Prems face and then quickly pretended to be working again. Mrs
Stewart walked back to her desk and sat down grabbing hold of her book. Prem turned
to look at Heer angrily; she smiled back at him.
"Was that fun?" Heer
teased quietly.
"I hate you." Prem
gritted back.
"I love you too Prem." She laughed at him and then got
back to work before the teacher could do anything else.
