5.) MAN-TOOL & CREATIVITY

Eira walked towards her classroom. She decided to take another route towards her class. It was less used and often empty. She wanted to mull over things.

Her mind was trying to sort out everything and to find a way to get out of this mess.

She couldn't just say 'no' straightforwardly to Sorin it might just screw up things more if he opened his mouth about her secrets.

Just the thought of Sorin had her getting pissed off. She really didn't know why but it made all the violent tendencies that she didn't know she had surface up.

As she walked, the soles of her shoes clinked against the rough surface of the ground and echoed across the hallway.

No one was around.

Suddenly a hand from nowhere came and snatched her wrist pulling her inside an empty classroom.

Her eyes turned towards the person who pulled her. She couldn't see who it was as his upper part of the face was entirely hidden by the hood making only the person's rise pink lips and jutted out chin visible.

She were ready to scream the shit out of  that person when the person removed the hood revealing themself.

It was Sorin.

Of course it was him. What a freaking classic move. Pulling her like that into an empty classroom.

"Oh its you!" Eira rolls her eyes as she scans him.

"Yes, it's me. Who did you think it would be?" Sorin grins at seeing Eira's irritated self.

"Anybody else would have been better then you" Eira mumbled lightly under your breath.

"Aww sweetheart! I doubt you would have wanted anybody one else when you have this piece of eye candy right in front of you" Sorin says his eyes lighting up with mischief.

"Eye candy my foot! Even my ass is better looking then you" Eira grumble.

"Well you do have a pretty nice ass" he peers from behind her as he makes an action as if he's checking her butt out.

"You stupid piece of shit! Why the hell are you checking me out?!" Eira shrieks as she fumbles around with her skirt trying to pull it down.

"Piece of shit? Seriously Eira? You have absolutely no creativity" Sorin amusedly grins as he sees a deep red color starting to taint Eira's cheeks.

"Shut up!" Eira murmured as she tried to control the heat rising up her cheeks from embarrassment.

"Anyways I need you to do your job" he says as he props his hoodie back on.

"What job?" Eira asks confused.

"Covering me up,you stupid girl!" he says as he moves towards the open window overlooking the backside of the school.

"I am not stupid and wait a minute! What the hell am I supposed to say!

I just can't say that you were abducted by aliens, so don't you leave me like that" Eira panicks, taking hold of his arm and pulling him back towards her.

"Just say that I was ill and I had to go away" he impatiently says as he tries to remove his hand from herhold.

"That's a stupid reason and you know it! Many people give that reason and the teacher won't even believe me. " Eira hollers as she finally lets Sorin's hand go.

"For God's sake just say anything! I am pretty sure the teacher will believe it. Now I am going, because I am late" saying that Sorin jumps off the window into the garden and saunters off with his hands in his pockets and the hoodie hiding his identity.

"That pignutting asshole ! I am gonna kill him!" Eira grumbled aloud in the empty classroom. Her voice echoing and coming back to her.

____________________________________________________________________

"How was your day?" Eira's mom asks as soon as Eira enters their small apartment and threw herself on the sofa sprawling.

"It was fine" Eira reply.

Actually it was not fine. Eira had barely saved herself from being caught about the lie that she had used to cover up for Sorin. She had said that he had fallen down the stairs and hit his man tool.

Pretty ridiculous but that was what Eira had come up with.

FEW HOURS EARLIER :

"Where is Sorin Kim" the teacher asked frowning.

Taking in a deep breath Eira timidly raises her hands up.

"Yes, Ms Sanders?" the teacher asks

"Mam, Sorin will not be able to attend the class because umm-" she tries saying but stop when she doesn't know what to say.

"Because what Ms Sanders?? If he's again taken ill I don't care he's gonna get detention. No person falls ill atleast twice a day so that's not a reasonable excuse for him" the teacher says sternly knowing how many times Sorin instead of attending class bunks it with the excuse of illness.

I told that idiot but he won't freaking listen to me! That stupid a-hole! Eira mentally screamed in her head.

"N-no mam he's not ill. He just hurt himself. In a very umm problematic place" Eira finally says, blurting out the first thing that can come in her mind.

"Problematic place??" her teacher frowns again confused by what she were saying.

Hell even she herself was confused.

"Umm you know the place that's used for increasing the population" Eira replies biting her lips.

There was a gap of few seconds.

"Oh" came her teacher's reply.

oh.

OH SHIT!

Eira was dead meat as she heard the giggles and silent laughs coming from the class.

Even Devika giving her a confused look.

But the teacher had accepted so that's that.

PRESENT :

Not the best lie Eira could come up with. And she doubted Sorin was going to like the reason that she had made up.

But she guessed he deserves it. He shouldn't have blackmailed her.

And to top that Devika had been asking her constantly about how she knew about what happened to Sorin.

Eira had made up a lame excuse and had escaped.

So in short the day was nowhere near fine with an additional bonus of her almost slipping on the stairs and falling down due to her clumsy self while trying to reach as fast as she can to the apartment.

She let out a long, deep breath tired from all the hecticness that happened today.

"That's good. But I want to talk to you Eira " her mother said as she comes towards Eira's sprawled form.

She points and waves her finger indicating Eira to get up and move aside so that she can sit besides her.

Eira lets out a muffled groan, and sits up tiredly in the sofa. Her mother sat down besides her as she lays Eira's head on her shoulders, making Eira close her eyes and let out a sigh of contentment.

Her mother smiled.

"Eira, what I wanted to tell you is that I might be going somewhere, for certain important things" her  mom says as she moves her hand softly through her black locks.

"Hmmm where are you going?" Eira hummed as she snuggled a little more into her mother's warmth.

"Ummmm.. Miami" her mother says making her bolt in an upright position.

"Why are you going there?" Eira panicks as she took hold of her mother's hand.

Her mother sighed. She had expected that Eira would react like this.

"I need to go baby. The judge needs the witness to be present at the trial." her mom tries to calm Eira.

"But why does he need the witness, you already had given your testimony. He's already in jail so why now and why another trial?" Eira almost cried on the verge of screaming.

Eira didn't want her mom to go there.

Hell no. Her mother had suffered enough.

"Eira, calm down. Breathe. He's not going to do anything to me, okay so sweetheart don't be afraid" her mom assures her softly as she sees the rising fear in Eira's eyes.

"But just why, mom! You already have given the evidence and he is in jail now" Eira say again.

"He has asked for bail and you know I need to be there. I am the one because of whom he's in jail right now so please I need to go" her mother explains as she rubs the palm of her hand soothingly up and down Eira's arms.

"Fine, then promise me mother. Promise me that you will come back as soon as you can and you won't even go near him. Promise me" Eira says anxiously as she holds her pinky finger up.

"I promise" her mom smiles as she loops her pinky finger with Eira's .

Feeling a little light then before and less panicked, Eira falls back into the sofa and lets out a little giggle,

"That's means I am gonna have the whole apartment to myself"

"And what makes you think that I will let you stay alone here?" her mom asked, her eyebrows raised.

Eira frowns "But then who will I stay with?"

"Oh sweety if you think I am going to leave you alone in the apartment again then you can think again! I really do not want another fire emergency" her mother says.

"It was just that one time mom, seriously I can stay alone" Eira grumbled out loudly.

"No, you are not staying alone! Last time you almost set the whole kitchen on fire not to mention that you also burned my favorite frying pan. I mean who burns a frying pan, Eira ?!" her mom glares at her as she remembers the almost kitchen destroying fire that had started from just a simple wish of trying to make pancakes.

"Fine then! So where am I gonna stay?" Eira pouts.

"You are going to Devika's house to stay" her mother grins at Eira happily.

"Well that won't be so bad. In fact it would be fun" Eira thinks and smiled at her mother giving a thumbs up.

What could possibly go wrong when you are living at her best friend's house?

Absolutely nothing.

But that's were she was wrong.
