A Girl Nobody Wanted

I was lying on my bed, my thoughts wandering around. I didn’t get any chance to be close to Jake or Luke like this in all th years I knew them. But today I bumped into both of them within like an hour.

I know its totally embarrassing, what happened today, yet deep inside me, I was extremely happy. I even got to speak to them like a normal person. On the other hand, the way they talked with me today clearly indicated that they are not angr with me for what happened yesterday. No need to tell how relieved am I.

My phone indicated a new message. I quickly grabbed it. I was waiting all day to text with him properly. I sent him countle messages but didn't get any reply.

“Hello Princess... So how was your day” Luke's cheerful face flashed in my mind.

“it's good... better than yesterday anyway :)" I replied instantly.

“Did you eat?”

“Yep... I ate and I finished all my work. I am just lying on my bed right now”

“Nice! So what you are thinking while lying on your bed? In any case, do you think about me? :p”

veah about you and... about Jake...

No matter how much I tried I remember him as much as I remember Luke.

“Maybe :P" I replied.

“That “maybe’ sounds more like definitely :0"

“oh really”

“Yeah really... anyway you know what am I doing?”

“What? lying on bed lazily as me?”

“hmmm... dreaming about my princess...

I blushed. I wish you are with me... 1 would love to lie down beside you and listen to you...

“what do you exactly dream about?”

“The day I am going to hold you in my arms and reveal myself”

“Hmmm... I wish that day come really soon...”

“Don’t worry princess... I need just a little more time... Believe me..."

“Of course I believe you... and that day... I will be the happiest.”

We were in the lecture with Ms. Smith.

“We are going to have 3 days tech workshop at Willow's center” she said out of nowhere.

I almost dropped my pen.

3 days workshop! At Willow'sl! it's a perfect location to have a tech workshop...

I guess it's just not me who found the idea exciting, the whole lecture hall echoed with cheers.

“We are going to have this from 22nd to 24th, that means at the end of next week,” she said.

“What are we going to do there, Madam?” someone asked.

“Well... we will have some tech sessions delivered by industry experts and some hands-on sessions too. Other than that are going to divide you all into teams and give a group project to work on. One of the main objectives of this workshop is give you the chance to get familiar with your batch mates more and allow you to work as a team. because from next year you have to start working on your comprehensive research project which is a group project”

“Madam what about the expenses?”

I looked at Ms. Smith with full of hopes, please don't tell a big number. I will not be able to find that much by next week. “all the expenses related to the workshop will be covered by the faculty, but you have to take care of accommodation, foc and transport cost. We have arranged accommodation in Willow's center itself, and we will get food also from there. Therefore we could get a really good price. Overall, you will have to pay this much for everything” she then wrote a figure on the board.

Well... it seems reasonable for 3 days workshop, but in my case, it would be a bit hard for me to find even that. But it will not be impossible. Anyway, I have a big problem than finding the cost. Getting permission from my parents! Don't know what drama they would put when they heard this.

“So guys... I want you to give your names by the end of the week since we have to arrange everything”

Okay then, I have time till that... I will do everything in my capacity to get their permission and find the expenses.

I will never drop the chance, to spend 3 whole days with him. Even thinking about being there with him, made my heart beat faster.

Right after I came home, I sent a message to him.

“You are coming to the workshop right?”

“Of course... How would I miss the chance to be with you for 3 days” he replied.

“How are you sure, that 1 would come for the workshop? you didn’t even ask me.”

“I don't need to ask, I know you will come. You are smart enough not to miss this great opportunity because it has great educational value.”

Ves, he is right. This workshop actually has great educational value. But I didn't even remember about that. I only though of spending 3 days in the same place as him... After all, 1 am not that nerdy, right?

“Hmm... but I have to get permission from my parents. I don't know how they would react.”

“Do you think, they will say no?”

“Not sure... they are highly unpredictable. One time they don't give a s**t about what I do, but the next moment they wan to control everything I do”

“is that 50? Try your best babe... If you don't get permission to come, then 1 will deny my permission to go as well.

“Are you crazy? This is an educational workshop. You must go”

“I don't think, I would be able to go there and take anything out of it if you don't come. I would just think about you the whole day... *

Oh! My sweet... sweet... Luke!!! You love me that much...

“So try your best princess, my destiny is in your hands :0” he replied again.

No need to tell, sweetheart... I will try my best...

I prepared a delicious dinner. I took some time and made mom's and dad's favorite dishes.

When they started having dinner, without leaving the kitchen as I used to do in the past few days, I stayed there, till the right time.

“Dad... there is a 3-day tech workshop at Willow's Center. I am planning to go” all of sudden I heard Shane told.

Wow! Wonderful!

I think this is the first time in my life, my twin did something I really wanted.

Now as he started the discussion, it would be easy for me to continue.

“Oh that's good” I heard dad said.

“So honey when is that?” Mom asked.

“Is in the next weekend” Shane replied.

“What are you all going to do there?” again it was mom.

“Some technical sessions by industry experts and you know some group projects... it's very important for our degree program” Shane replied.

Well... this is the exact time to get permission...

“Dad... I called him in a pleading voice.

“Hm...” he looked at me surprisingly. I think he didn't expect me to speak here, because I hardly speak with them during their dinner time.

“Dad... please I also want to go to that workshop...”

“hmm...” he started to eat again.

hmm... what is that mean? Is it yes or no?

“ am also not here next weekend. So who is going to cook for dad if you go?” mom asked.

What? So... I am not getting permission to go...

Why mom? Why you also have to go out on the exact weekend?

“So guys... I want you to give your names by the end of the week since we have to arrange everything”

“That's fine... I prefer to stay alone and eat out, rather than bearing all her stupidity alone” dad said in an odd voice. Mom gave him a deathly glare.

But dad seems not to care about her, he kept on eating.

“shane anyway have an eye on her... She doesn't even know how to behave herself” mom said pouting.

I don't know on what ground she said, that I don’t know how to behave my self. I am indeed an introvert person without many social skills, but I know how to behave myself, at least better than Shane...

Anyway, this is not a time to worry about those... I got permission to got

“Thank you, dad... Thank you, mom...” I said. I couldn't even remember a day I got something that I needed this easily...

I thought I may have to plead for all week to get permission... I think after he entered my life everything is turning in a better direction...

Oh God! I cannot wait to give him the good newsit

“Wonderfullt So now I can freely dream about spending time with you for 3 days...” after I informed him about what happened, he immediately replied.

“You are talking like we are going on a date or something... wake up... we are going for a workshop...

“I don't care... I will find a way to stick to you for all the 3 days..”

“Really... I wish I knew who you are, then I would have stuck to you as well”

he didn't reply for a few minutes. I felt bad... I shouldn't tell him that... Didn't I promise him to give his time?

I have no right to push him to reveal the truth...

“Hey, are you angry with me? please don't... I didn't think much before sending that text... You can take your time. I will wi for you to eternity...” I sent him again.

“I am not angry with you princess... how can I be angry with you, when the fault is mine. It's your right to know with whom you are talking. Please forgive me for not letting you know. Believe me, everything I do... I do them because I want us to b together for the rest of our lives... I don't want to rush things and destroy everything... One day when you know the truth you will understand me” he has sent a long reply.

Tears filled in my eyes... He is sad... I made him sad...

You fooltt why you made the only person who cares about you sad?

“Please don't be sad... Its true I wish from all my heart that I can spend every second of my life with you... but I can wait. because I know, though you are not beside me you always care about me... knowing that is enough for me... so please dor be sad... and remember I believe you no matter what happened...“

“I know babe... now. enough sadness... I bet you are crying right now”

“How you know?” I sent him, wiping tears from my eyes.

“I know everything about you, my princess... now stop crying... you know that I cannot stand tears in your eyes..”"

“Fine... I am not crying.” I wiped my face with my t-shirt and smiled at my phone like a fool...

“Good girl... now £0 to sleep and dream what we will do during the workshop... if you want to see me in your dreams... jus try to see the most handsome man you have ever seen in your life... :D"

I fell into sleep after some time... as he said I actually dream about the workshop and I saw, I was talking with someone happily, that person was behind me... holding me... his hands wrap around my waist... I couldn't see his face...

He made me turned around to see him...

Oh God!

It was not Luke...

It was JAKE!
