Wicked Wings [COMPLETE]

CHAPTER 10

Unexpected

As expectations drown you in a pool of disappointment, some surprises leave you so baffled, that it changes your life upside down..

**

As she continued doodling random things in her notebook, completely oblivious to the lectures being delivered by Mr. Waylon, her mind kept wandering about the unfinished task.

A sign of disappointment spread over her face as she recalled last night.

How unexpected it was to discover that mysterious key, that unusual way.

How she thought she would have all the night to herself to unfurl the things that the wooden box contained.

But alas! It turned out to be such a waste!

Her mother had barged into her room with her favorite hot chocolate and intervened at her mission.

.

That didn't shatter Khushi at all though.

Until of course she came to know that her mom would be sleeping with her, hence pouring water over her plan completely.

She was her mother after all.

But Khushi wished she realized that she wasn't a toddler any more but a grown up adult and the cold wasn't really going to kill her.

Adrienne somehow needed to get over her habit of being overprotective about her kids, but Khushi guessed she was expecting too much and hence, her fervent wishes were nothing but her own wishful thinking!

.

As the events of last night resurfaced in her mind, she let out a deep sigh and found Mr. Waylon still explaining that same line where she had lost track of him moments ago.

Not that she didn't like his lectures, but the Bernard Shaw's write-up he was critically analyzing at this moment, was done by her long back.

She considered herself fortunate enough for the same, as it lent her a few minutes of personal solitude, to think about other things.

.

But then, she ultimately headed nowhere as nothing seemed to work out at the moment.

What added more to her boredom was that she couldn't see the devil, Arnav anywhere in the class.

Though his peculiar girlfriend was present in the class, seated in her usual place.

She even shared a smile with Khushi early morning before the class was about to start.

.

"Weird!"

Khushi muttered to herself as she recalled Judith's greeting from early morning.

.

.

"Hey! So enjoyed last night?"

She heard Thomas asking, with a smile etched on his face and her solitude was immediately broken.

"Mmhmm.."

She simply nodded, uninterested.

.

"So I heard you fell sick last night. How are you now?"

.

"Who told you that?"
