"I'm not a complete idiot, some pieces are missing. "
"Jay! Jay!! JAYY!! HEY YOU DONKEY!"
I looked up from my phone. Uh oh. Millie is pissed.
" For heaven's sake_"
" what happened?"
I interrupted as I stopped hitting Tom on the face and concentrated on mils.
"I hate my brother!!!!"
"ОҺ " I resumed hitting Tom on his head. The brother's episode wasn't new.
"Are you even hearing!"
"Yes "
I replied as Tom patted his stomach showing he was hungry. I kept the phone aside and listened.
"Wait isn't that that talking guy?"
"Yes "
" how old are you"
"Seventeen "
"And you are still playing this?huh. Jay for once just act your age" she said as she grabbed the phone from me.
"Another prank?" I asked as mils started playing with Tom's light. Good old friend.
"Stuck bubblegum inside my helmet"
"Wise move, the chap's learnin after all those years of toil "
"A little too fast I say."
" Is that a bubblegum in your hair !!!!"
Mils dived grabbing her hair distorting her perfectly tied ponytail into an unidentified hairy object before realising the speaker of the sound.
Mack looked horrified covering his mouth, bulging his eyes out like it was almost about to pop out of its beloved sockets before he broke into an endless laugh. A rather funny one for such a potential criminal.
A series of things erupted from mills which i didn't hear or let's say I didn't hear.
"Oooh didn't see you there" Mack exclaimed giving me a wave.
"Checking up on your crush are we?" Mils smirked.
"Shut it " Mack gave mils a death glare.
"Anyway" I tried to distract before an explosion took place " Mack I heard you are standing for the union election. All the best"
"And why do you think he is" asked mils a smirk tugging at her lips.
"Stop it butterhead ! Why do you always equate everything I do with her!!!"
"I don't equate anything. The equation just matches!!!!" Mils exclaimed.
Mack looked annoyed. "Anyway thanks Jay." He said as he waved to some of his friends and walked away
"Come on mils or you will be late." I said as I grabbed my phone back from her .

"Turn to page number 72. Today were going to learn about skills in psychology " said mrs susans, our psychology teacher, as we settled for the class.
I turned the pages filled with ink and colorful highlighters and finally reached my destination.
Thankfully this was one of the classes where I paid the most attention to because the depth of the subject amazed me.
"So there are mainly three types of skills. Who can name them?"
Automatically a few hands rose up along with mine.
"Yes Jay?"
No that wasn't supposed to happen. I realized that my plan went wrong.people who never raise their hands are usually asked to answer a question. So I had tried it the other way.
"Uh mental skills?" I asked doubtfully.
That was followed by some guffawing and a slight curve in mrs. susans straight lips.
"I see that you have paid much attention to the previous class, but it's no use applying it here to its master." Said mrs susans "but I cannot say the same thing for other classes though " she suddenly added, the twinkle in her eye suggesting something.
"So class as you can see, observation skills are very much in need for psychology which here proved fruitful for me to find jaylin's big interest in reverse psychology . But before I begin in depth, you guys have to submit that project about psychodynamic approaches within one week_" she talked on.
Mrs. Susans was the kind of teacher who was strict but could be startlingly friendly at times. But using that friendliness to your advantage will give you the privilege of outstanding performance. And this time I mean it literally. Trust me when I say it's not something to be proud of.
"So how's it going there?" The guy, was his name Tony or rony I never seemed to remember, asked me.
"Pretty good" I said with a straight face.
"Cool. Did you realize that you are wearing mismatched shoes?"
Instantly my eyes trailed down looking at a yellow sneaker and blue shoes with the lace tied knotted rather hastily. Weirdly enough they seemed the same to me this morning.
"Uh_"
"Seems like you don't care"
That earned him a chuckle.
"Now there are different components of human communication. The obvious ones being speaking and listening. There is a great difference between hearing and listening. Which one do you think you are doing right now Tony?" Asked mrs. Susans.

"Can I have one?" I asked as I took some cash from my wallet.
The guy at the counter looked up and smiled as he handed me the popcorn.
I walked in to the theater and snuggled into my seat already having some popcorn. Class had ended early today giving me some hours of freedom before the curfew. That made me take a ticket and go for a movie, Alone.
As much as I like the company of my friends, sometimes I like it being by myself. You have to give yourself some love too. It was a long time since I went on a date with me, so it was nice and cozy to have that feeling again.
No judgement. No hate. No trying to small talk.
You have to like being in your own company. I mean if you hate it being with yourself, who would like to be with you?
But all this didn't mean I didn't have friends. I did have some of the best friends I could ever have. It just meant that as much as I was an extrovert sometimes I liked being in my own company.
The movie was about to start. The lights dimmed. The projector turned on. People started tucking their phones into their pockets. Not all of them, but most of them.
That's when I felt it from behind. I turned in horror before it was too late but the damage was already done.
Whooohooo. Now this has above 1000 words. When I started the story I saw a video on how to write good wattpad books. And it said don't make your chapters too lengthy. Cut it if you need to. An average chapter can contain about 1500 words. But as you move on you can maybe extend it to 2000 or so.
Well in my previous stories the maximum word limit I had was about 500 words. And I was astonished about how in the world I was going to write so much in a chapter.
Well apparently I'm learning to do exactly that. Proud me. Slaps myself in the back.
Well the funny thing is that my book already has 9 reads before it even got published lol.
Well how are you guys in there? Quarantine to your best huh ?please do stay safe everybody. Remembering all of you in my prayers.
Well what do you think happened to Jay?
Popcorn guy: well I know the answer to that. Well jay _"
