Things that bind us together- The cliff

PART-VII(MIND OR HEART)

Namaste!!
I read a really nice quote today
" GROW THROUGH.WHAT YOU GO THROUGH"
Anthony's P. O. V.
————————————————————

"Hi Paige" I said while wrapping my right hand around the waist of my girlfriend while kissing her cheek. She was standing at my locker with her goody-to-shoes friend. "Hi Antii baby" she said with a smile.

I was going to say something but then it happened, the bell rang. " I've class to go to and don't forget to give your name to Mrs. Wardwell." She kissed me and said " Bye bunny". I bid her goodbye and walked towards my first lecture, English.

Paige is five feet seven inch, blonde,soon to be Secretary of Cultural department as there is no one standing against her because they know they will not be able to compete with her. She is really sweet. She is the type of girl who is happy in what she has and only does the things about which she is hundred percent sure.

Paige and I first met in our art class and she became a really good friend of mine, really fast. Both of us matched on many grounds. Then one day when we went were on a school trip to the mountains I proposed her to be my girlfriend. It was really romantic and she said yes.

It has been nearly a year of us together. I like her . But I never felt butterflies in my stomach or the cliche type of feelings that we see in movies with her. She makes me happy but not anything else.

Earlier I used to think that in real life the butterflies in stomach is not possible but i guess I was wrong. I've recently started getting them. I don't know if it is or will be right for Paige but I can't help it. It seems it will be right for me but at same time I don't want to loose Paige.

My heart says one thing and mind says another. The mind's route is very easy and heart's route is much harder.

When the first period started, I gave my name along with the participation fee to Mrs. Wardwell for the post of President. She was happy that I gave my name but I am definitely sure it will not be same for most of the trachers. Teachers in this school don't like me much. They don't have a reason to do so but they just think I am a spoiled kid of a rich father. I never did anything 'bad' to them or to the school though. They just stereotype me.

I sat beside Harry and started talking about random things . Then I saw want I wanted see since yesterday. Issabelle and Elliot were sitting on the same bench the sit on everyday.

Talking of Issabelle, getting her number was not hard but finding the last digits were. All thanks to Elliot. The last two digits were 52 but it required a lot of permutations to find it out.

We talked for ten minutes. At first she was shocked how did I get her number. I told I got it from my sources. Issabelle and I have talked many times before in school so it was not difficult to make her comfortable talking with me. Half of the time she talked about Elliot, his likes and his dislikes. She even told me that Elliot loves the Caramel custard which he gets on Christmas every year as the Sam and Sons bakery that makes it is far away from here.

I think she likes me a bit and my motive to talk with her is fulfilled.

The class got over and I hurried to Paige's locker so as to talk with her. On doing so I accidentally bumped into someone and that someone was Gross Geremy.

"Who do you think you are?" Geremy said making the face that creeped me out. If it were any other person I would've apologised but this time it was Geremy.

" I am the going-to-be President of the school" I answered while grinning. " How will you become? Huh? By daddy's cash" He said and made the heap of dumb sheep around him laugh.

" You always know how to get on my nerves" I said while fisting my hand into punch. He will get a hard one from me. It's more than enough.

" Hey!!!!Anthony stop. And if you both don't you can get disqualified from contesting elections" a voice said making the adrenaline flow slow down. I turned and saw it was Elliot who spoke and Issabelle was alongside him.

I saw their faces for a second and turned back. Geremy smirkingly said " I can't risk this and you will never be selected by the teachers."
Why does he never stops poking me!! " And if I get selected, I'll show you your place. Teachers might be with you but the students will always be with me" I answered him back.

I didn't want to waste a single more second on Geremy so I called off the argument and went straight to where Issabelle and Elliot were standing.

" Thank you from stopping me, Elliot". He smiled and nodded. " And I think both of you will vote for me if I get selected" I asked them. Issabelle gave a nervous smile and didn't say anything. " Depends who is your competitor" Elliot said. I nodded in disappointment and they walked off.

I got a bit sad. Not because I didn't get to hit Geremy or show him his place but because the person that I like is not sure about me. It gets me pissed.

My phone beeped taking me out of my thoughts and I saw the message from my dad 'Remember we'll have dinner together at night.' Nothing more nothing less, just the thing he wants me to do. I has been several months when we had dinner together and I have no idea why is it happening.

" Another time Paige" I said to myself and continued the day.

-•–•—•—•–•-

" Hey son, how's your school going" my father asked while joining me and mom at the dining room after coming an hour late. He asked the same question what mom did when she saw me. This is the problem with them they just want to know about my studies and achievements and not me.

" It's going good" I answered. He smiled and started looking what is for dinner. I also took something from that fancy food and started eating. "I heard that you are going to participate in school elections. Marya told me when I reached home that she got a call from school assuring the participation fee was given by us or not" my mom inquired.

"Yeah. I am participating and the fee was not much. I gave it from my savings." I replied. "If you are standing for elections you must win it. A king is nothing without a battle won" Dad said. I just nodded. After that the whole time I just kept thinking.

They just want everything perfect. Everything achieved. They don't care what I go through, emotionally and psychologically. They just don't listen. They want a puppet to do great things that can be shown off.

I am not a Puppet and I will make sure they know it.
