A rude shock

As we headed downstairs for tea today, I asked nat if she would go home during lunch hour? she said not sure and then there was a pause "dekho shayad mat kay saath lunch per jaoon". I wasn't sure if I had heard right, so I asked her again and the same reply followed. I was stunned. Whatever smiles i was mustering since morning faded and I was lost. So I kept quiet as usual. I overheard her ask sana to go along with her but she refused due to prior committments. She noticed my silence and asked me pointedly what the hell was wrong. I spoke a blatant lie that i had a headache. Truth is my head was spinning. We went upstairs to smoke in the bathroom and she said if i wanted a med! How pinchingly caring. Later around close to 1:00 pm i called her, she didnt pick up her fone. So i headed towards sana's seat and there she was in her pristine glory all made up. So I asked her if she was going out and if she could drop me in F6. She said she couldnt because she was going with someone else. There was this very sly and conniving look in her eyes which I have never seen before. So I headed back to my seat collected my things to go downstairs. I sat on the ground floor and then i headed back up. I wanted to hide somewhere, unfelt and unnoticed.I spent my lunch break chatting away with jaudat and ibrahim on the pavement. Mat returned from lunch around 2:35 with two of his friends in tow. Nat returned a little after 3:00. She was way too curious about my whereabouts.
