Chapter 2: Wanderer

I must’ve slept for an eternity!

Yawning, I woke up. I saw the empty, dark room. No trace of any human over here except me.

I got up from my bed, opened my shirt, trousers, got hold of a towel, opened the bed-room door, walked downstairs and entered the bathroom.

Stripping to my boxers won’t do any harm because no one except me was there in the house. Dad was in his office. He’ll be late. So I found out from the small chit struck on the bathroom door.

I turned the tap and let the warm water fill up the tub.

Damn that bitch! She’s got me burdened with that stupid exam again.

“Why am I cursing her? It’s my bad luck after all.” I sighed. “My life sucks dammit!”

Immersing my body in the warm water of the tub I let my mind wander into the worlds known only to me.

Wandering through such worlds my mind finally anchored in the world called ‘women’.

Am in the bathroom now, so no worries!

“People don’t call me perverted, I wonder why?” I asked myself for about ten times. Didn’t get any answer so dropped the issue.

I shut my eyes and sank my head within the water of the tub, made a few bubbles in the water and being bored of it I brought it out.

That brown-haired girl, who was she?

The question was probably a result of boredom. Or was it something else?

She was cute, beautiful...umm...on the fringes of sexy, she had a nice body; legs, long and slender, buttocks, not too big, well rounded and chest, curvy, woman-like...or...perfect. Yeah bodily she was perfect.

“Did I really see all these in that short time? Or am I just imagining the stuffs? Must be imagining.” I controlled my wild imaginations even when they were allowed in the bathroom.

Whatever it is I must find out who she is. Am in high-school now so I need a girlfriend!

“She fits in perfectly!” I assured myself.

*****

I think I need to study now. I walked up to my bookshelf, brought out a book having a brown cover and a brand-new feel to it. “MACBETH” written by “WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE” the cover showed.

The guy wanted to make some money probably. Did they need to make us study this? Wasn’t it just for entertainment? I’d often thought of writing a book and publishing it. Publishing a book like this will surely make me a rich man. Then there will be no school, no studies so no hassles! A happy life I’ll get to live. A free life.

“Impossible!” I scolded myself.”Whatever you want ain’t gonna happen. So, buck up and get studying! You’ve got an exam to pass.”

Definitely I need to pass. I will study. I must study. I have to study. I repeated in my mind for maybe ten times and then finally opened the ... not god-forsaken book.

First page went down in a flash, second one faster than before, third one even faster, fourth one at the speed of rocket! Man, am I studious! Ten pages down with elan. I think I’ll finish off the book today.

“Man proposes god disposes.”
Our head’s words suddenly wandered into my mind.

“Why did that thing pop up suddenly?” I thought to myself.

I wondered and wondered and wondered and the more I wondered the more my mind wandered.

I’m gonna be wasted at this rate.

“Wake up, you idiot!” A distant voice it seemed at first.

A sergeant shouting to his soldier perhaps?

“Get your butt off that soft bed of yours!!” Another shout.

Soldiers get SOFT beds to sleep on?

“Your friend’s here!! Your friend, Sesshomaru is here!”

“S-S-S-S-Sesshomaru!!!” I leaped out of the bed, ran out of the room, pulling my shirt on, but as I reached downstairs I met him.

Gods, I didn’t need this now! I hardly studied yesterday. I need to today!

“Hey Mir, what’s up?”

The bastard’s smiling. He knows I have a test. He came to disturb me. Definitely!

“Damn you to hell man!” I muttered under my breath.
