âI thought that was like watching monkeys jumping around?â
âYeah, and swinging monkeys are very entertainingâ
âYou have an um⊠unusual way of complementing, here we areâ
âAnd what should I be doing here?â
âDrivingâ
âWhat? In this place? You must be jokingâ
âNo kidding. This is where the drift kings here learn to drive. âSitâ he commanded dragging her to a sit in front of a computer
âIt is too small?â
âNot anymoreâ he pressed a button to reveal an empty room only for a seat and car steering. He commanded me to wear funny looking goggles and as I sat on the chair I noticed three paddles at the steering hooded foot.
âRemind me again how meant to learn to drive with this things without a car?â
âIt is called âVirtual realityâ or âVirtual spaceââ
âOh, Iâve heard of it but never experienced one. My dad uses it whenever he teaches driving in his workplaceâ
âYeah, I know a lot about your dad that is why Iâm surprised you canât driveâ she is strapped with the presumable sit belt puts on the goggles and is whizzed away from the natural world and into a lonely road with her cousins voice which seems to be coming from the well car as the only trace of reality.
âStart your engine and letâs drive.â As the engine roared to life she stamped down on the accelerator and drifted with full speed along the road following the instruction on the screen and from the instructor.
âNot bad for a first trialâ
âItâs actually not a fist trialâ
âHmm I was wondering if you were born with the knowledge of everythingâ
âNot really but I donât have to practice hard; if I were to blow my trumpet, Iâll say really good for a second trialâ
âWhat a show off, they say you donât have to blow your trumpet you knowâ
âIf the trumpet is mine I donât see anybody who could blow it betterâ
âShow offâ
They walked back to out and he did some boxing practice while she watched in amazement, he was really hot too bad he was his cousin or she would have dated him. Aunt Soma just had to go have a very sexy son and keep him a secret from us so like her very irresponsible.
âHey stop droolingâ Gab said walking up to megoo. She was so lost in her toughts she didnât even notice he has finished practice. âIâm not and itâs not like Iâm permitted to anywayâ.
âI think you will have to appease some kind of gods for even staring at me with that look in your eyesâ
âShut up pretty face and what do you even know about my cultureâ he started laughing hysterically at the look of horror in my face as we got into the car to leave so she turned away from him towards the window as she got a glimpse of her face in the side mirror she started laughing too. And just then he barked out of the parking space and nearly ran over some dude who was just standing there waving. He sped off way too fast for me-goo to try and gather up herself to apologise to the poor guy.âI happen to be what you might call a genius And we aren't in the same level. I am just doing an extra certification course. And you should remember to address me as Dr. from nowâ She winked at him and his look of horror and surprise.
âAh happen to know a lot of nerds and they are all annoyingâ
âWell you would have to endure that much longer or you move to your dadâs.â
âI can run but I canât hide, I have one of you at my dadâs and Iâll still have to endure three here in school.â
Mi-goo found the classes very boring and slipped out to take a tour of the school by herself without the knowledge of her guide who has found some girl to flirt with. Walked on finding everything around the social science building boring, everyone seemed to be buried in books or talking about politics so she strolled out the block and decided to go to the commercial arts building. âIf only the military didn't want her to get this stupid certification, she already knew whatever there's to the course anyway but no they want a stupid paper certifying her. She's had enough of politics and high usage of brain power, this is her break from it all, her time to be a youth like everyother 21 year old'. And then suddenly a male came hurrying in her direction and she was looking (making sure she didnât appear to be staring which came easily with long practice) into a very familiar face she can swear she recognised from somewhere if she had not just come to London for the first time. He was muttering something and starring at her, they both didnât notice how dangerously close they have gotten to each other until the collision.
âHow rude, didnât even apologize or offer to pick my booksâ she could hear him saying under his breath as she stood up, picked her bag and kept walking without a word.
âHow can he even blame me when we are clearly both at fault and he muttering to himself and staring like that? This place is full of weirdoesâ on seeing the art building her eyes lit up in excitement, it had paintings and sculptures around it and the building was painted with a riot of colours that form different shapes when looked at from different angles. She went into the fine art display hall touching the outline of every sculpture and painting as she was living the hall a particular painting seemed to draw her even though it was well hidden behind a stack of other painting it was a familiar feeling she had with some of her brotherâs paintings, she searched out the particular picture and when she felt the picture come alive under her touch, she checked for a signature and date but was disappointed when she didnât see the carelessly written âDiebyâ and the tail of the âYâ underlining the word. She hadnât seen her brother since he left for art school, he had not sent any word nor had he returned for their fatherâs burial, she had tried on many occasions to contact him but to no avail. How every male she cares about tends to disappear with no trace first it was her friend James then her brother and her father had to die in his sleep, well if they are happy she is happy, her brotherâs paintings is everywhere and her dad always talked how happy life after death is for good people and there can never be a better man that has lived, but for James she has no idea if he is happy well he should be. She toured the art building and signed up for dance and music classes which was like shooting three birds with one arrow; enjoying herself for singing and dancing where her hobby, filling work load and getting away from the boring social science building.
âWhere have you been?â Gab asked the minute she got back to her faculty.
âI signed up for dance and music classesâ She said thinking hoping the party king will approve.
âYou didnâtâ the disappointment evident in his voice and face. âwhy you would waste your time singing and dancing when you could read your head out in with the meds or analyse with the managers or argue with the lawyers anything but the freaking artists, ok if you needed a bit of exercise you would have joined the sportsmen and gymnastâ And she didn't even notice a single trace of sarcasm in his words just pure distaste.
âNow who is being boring, the knack or party freak? You know, Iâm just a whiz-kid not a nerdâ She smirked.
âI just thought that youâd prefer those things and sports is not boringâ He was now taking a defensive stance.
âProbably, if you enjoy watching people go after a ball, running around, swimming uniformly or jumping up and down like monkeys and even fightingâ
âInteresting description, I think Iâll try watching it with your description in mindâ the engine came alive and he backed out of the drive with such speed and nearly knocked down his step brother
âI thought that was the way home so where are we going?â Looking at him with suspicion.
âDonât give me that look Iâm not going to hurt you, but we are not going home just yet.â he made a sharp turn and came to a bouncy stop âHere we areâ
âAnd where exactly is here?â
âSports buildingâ
âAnd what are we here for? Did you bring me to watch you and people going after a ball, running around, swimming uniformly, fighting and jumping up and down like monkeys? Or maybe to brag about your skills, is that it?â
âWell maybe, but no, no, no and noâ
âOk, so what?â Her voice fell a bit in disappointment and she pouted
âWhy are you sulking donât tell me you are disappointed?â
âYeah I was actually hoping to see you do something and watch a little gymnasticsâ
âI thought that was like watching monkeys jumping around?â
âYeah, and swinging monkeys are very entertainingâ
âYou have an um⊠unusual way of complementing, here we areâ
âAnd what should I be doing here?â
âDrivingâ
âWhat? In this place? You must be jokingâ Her horror was accompanied with anger but she reminded herself she was going to do normal youth things from now on well till her break is over an no nomal 21 year old goes around with top security or drivers or jets. She had specifically ordered for non of that but she was sure security was till on her and as long as they keep their distance she was fine. But driving was her dad's job he had promised to teach her himself and after one lesson he was gone so she had decided not to drive even though she already learnt it and somehow she didn't even need to.
âNo kidding. This is where the drift kings here learn to drive. Sitâ he commanded dragging her to a sit in front of a computer sensing her shifting emotions and didn't want to deal with her drama now.
âIt is too small?â
âNot anymoreâ he pressed a button to reveal an empty room only for a seat and car steering.
âHe has gone couch on me, commanding me to wear funny looking goggles which I had to wear because all of a sudden I just felt I had to obey him or he will get really mad. And as I sat on the chair I noticed three paddles at the steering hooded foot.â She realized for the first time that there is more to her cousin tgan just women and parties.
âRemind me again how I am meant to learn to drive with this things without a car?â
âIt is called âVirtual realityâ or âVirtual spaceââ
âOh, Iâve heard of it but never experienced one. My dad uses it whenever he teaches driving in his workplaceâ
âYeah, I know a lot about your dad that is why Iâm surprised you canât driveâ she is strapped with the presumable sit belt puts on the goggles and is whizzed away from the natural world and into a lonely road with her cousins voice which seems to be coming from the well car as the only trace of reality.
âStart your engine and letâs drive.â As the engine roared to life she stamped down on the accelerator and drifted with full speed along the road following the instruction on the screen and from the instructor.
âNot bad for a first trialâ
âItâs actually not a fist trialâ
âHmm I was wondering if you were born with the knowledge of everythingâ He was being his sarcastic self again
âNot really but I donât have to practice hard; if I were to blow my trumpet, Iâll say really good for a second trialâ
âWhat a show off, they say you donât have to blow your trumpet you knowâ
âIf the trumpet is mine
