On your mark. Get set. GO! Dashing amidst the busy street, I ran towards the tall broad figure that was walking down the road in a slow lazy pace. I knew my technique was right, the distance perfect and all I needed was to avoid obstacles. Easy enough! After all I had done it for the past 12 years of my life. The distance had closed down, my lucky pedestal came into view, just a few metres more, and I could do it. As I neared the pedestal, I jumped on it, applied Newton's third law of motion and bang! I landed right on his back. As I wrapped my hands around his neck and smiled a smile of ultimate satisfaction, a loud yelp of pain emerged from my carrier.

'Do you have to do that every freaking day of your life? , my magic carpet shouted.

'Do you have to ask the same freaking question everyday in your life?' I retorted.

'I mean, seriously, shouldn't you be used to this public humiliation by now?' I continued

'Guess what' he replied, 'I am not and I will be never'

'What problem do you have if 'something wonderful' like this happens everyday?'

Pull the right strings and your puppet will dance according to your wish. Precisely that happened as I uttered those two magical words 'something wonderful'. His eyes gleamed with excitement, happiness radiated out of his body and I …. Well I just felt disgusted! Ah! But I am ready to brave the fiercest of storms for him as long as his temper cools down.

'YOU HAVE NO IDEA', shouted an excited, now, 5 yr old

Yup I had no idea. 12 years of having almost the same conversation but still, I have no idea. Totally!

'Jordan is just so fantastic. Oh My god! Especially the way he behaves with Alex, It is perfect! , he finished like a nursery kid narrating his first day at school, super fast and filled with super sighs

'Gay. You are just so freakishly gay that I wonder if you have different organ down there. If you get what I am trying to say.'

'Hold on woman, I am all man. And you know that. After all, we did use to have pool parties back when we were six.'

'Yup those historic pool parties where, for some odd reason, your swimming trunks just used to slip off. Dude didn't you have a butt when you were six?'

'Says the girl who did not have a chest when she was six as well as when she is 16.'

…..

'Hey Lisa, you are not mad? Are you?

…..

'I did not mean it seriously! I mean sure you have some'

'Lisa…..?'

'What do u think are the two lumps of flesh pressed against your back?'

!

'I AM NEVER EVER FREAKING EVER GIVING YOU A PIGGYBACK RIDE!' Do You Get That? Get Off My Back Shameless Woman! I am never…'

As I watched my friend shouting at the top of his voice in a busy street, blushing furiously, I silently gave a prayer of thanks to god for always keeping my mornings the same. I treasure him and more importantly, I treasure these moments. I know I cannot get anymore closer to him but I also know I cannot afford to lose whatever closeness we have right now.

As we approached our school, we parted ways, not that we act all unfamiliar but we have less in common once we enter this area. After all not everyone is as popular as G-Dragon neither is everyone as infamously popular as Liz. We stand under the same roof but on different grounds.
