 8th

"Don't you think parents should be a little more considerate about their children's feelings?

"Yeah, it should be so. I'm sad after hearing about your morning story."

"You have a complete family, what it is there to remorse about."

He furrowed his brows at this. "You think big sisters are cool? If you do, i don't know then."

"At least you have one to save you in trouble."

"Yeah...that-that's a good point."

 

We sat in silence for more minutes to come and pass on the bank of the river, which flows near our town area. It is not big and mostly buildings are growing up here, but there's a forest area at the back which heals the most part of this town out of concrete. Him and I have been friends since 2nd grade when i reached this part of the city. We had met through a cycling accident, though he was nervous the first time too and ran away when he hit me with his cycle from behind, but the next day i found a sorry note in my basket. Now that we are in 8th grade, only, i know a lot about him till the growing daylight. 

He has a complete family of him, his big sister, his chubby and small mother and his government officer father. He has got lots of friend in his building but still considers me as the most special one. I happy to be one though anyway. 

11th

I had a row with my mother this morning alone when she refused to come to the market with me. I left the house in a fuelling rage which seemed to smoke in front of his eyes. He hopped onto the back of my scooty as we together left for school. 

"No, it is not it. I do not even  have yet got a full time blow of being 16 and she is in a hurry of pulling that trigger closer."

"It's okay, calm down. We can also go together then if you need help." His warm breath stinked my ears in the settling cold wind of the winter. 

"You won't buy me extra pringles though ever."

"You haven't tried me yet then." I stopped my scooty with a jerk and looked back at him, and he just raised an eyebrow at me.

12th end

I reached the center before time but couldn't see him anywhere around till the time came to go inside. I was afraid if he was alright or has even came, but when i saw him afterwards under one of the roadside trees, he was brooding on his question paper, leaning against the trunk as always, his childhood usual style. 

"Cracked the code, bro." He smiled at my presence and clapped the hi-fi i gestured to him. 

"I did, but i am nervous though."

"Um-mm, everyone is, no need to worry about that." And we started walking towards home after giving the exams of our ultimate upcoming life.

"You aren't."

"Well, i am not like anyone anyways, especially you." And i ran to quickly get off his monstrous grip of hand and was chased down the whole alley.
