Chapter-12

Chapter 12


The man stopped, turned back and looked at me in an angry manner.
Then he started to run towards me, faster and faster as fast as he could, he looked like a marathoner, trying to reach the finish line, which in this case was-me!

 I just stood there looking at him, partially frightened and partially amused by the way he looked while he was running. 

As I had mentioned before he was a short, plump man who looked laughable already and as he started running, he looked hilarious.  
He was struggling to run couple of meters without getting worn out in the process. 

After minutes of struggle and countless whistles and shrieks of the cop asking the man to give over, he finally reached me and stared down at me with a raving expression on his face. 

I looked back at him with innocent eyes followed by an expression that I hoped would convince him that I did nothing. 

After about a second of constant staring the man showed a sudden change in his facial expression. He smiled and put his hand over my head and patted gently.

 I stood there looking at him, confused as to why he would be possibly happy with me, the person who turned him in and announced that he was a thief. 

"Well done, my child!" He said proudly.
"But what have I done sir" I asked him curiously.
"You followed the sign" He said and pointed towards a large
put up which I barely noticed due to all the commotion that Ellen and Eric created. 
"IN CASE OF THEFT, REPORT TO A NEARBY OFFICER ON DUTY AND HELP THE MUSEUM KEEP THE NATIONAL HERITAGE SAFE " It stated.

Now I understood what this was about, I immediately figured it all out in my head.
I looked at Aditya to see if he understood what was happening as well as I did.
Clearly he didn't, he had a startled and confused expression on his face.
He looked at me with an expression on his face that meant "Whats happening?"
I replied with a broad smile showing all my teeth and closed eyes

Chapter-11

Chapter 11


I turned to see the weird man with the bald head, popped out teeth and big belly. 

But this time something was different, he had something in his hand.

Oh no! It was the statue, or something? 

Ellen's description of the object was strangely accurate, it did 

look like a statue, but it could have been something else.

He had definitely stolen it, no doubt, I could tell because it 

was  written all over his face.

He had the expression that I had while I was chewing on Ellen and Eric's jelly bean.

But then I noticed something else while he was looking back and front, here and there, he barely noticed a long pillar about well, 4 meters ahead of him!

Oh god, how could I stop him now? Will he hit the pole? Will 

he slide down the floor? Will he hit the statue? Will he cut his arm? Will Ms.Thompson break her bones?
What can I do to stop him? 
So much tension.

I wouldn't have been in this situation if I would have learnt my lesson from the ballet king-DON'T GET CURIOUS! Because it leads to worrying about a bald man having the best slide of his life.

Just as I was preparing to see the man bump into the pole, I noticed something.

Where was Eric? 

I quickly scanned the hall looking for him, and then I saw him right in front of that pole standing there, just as a safety cushion would, to prevent an accident.

The man bumped into Eric and immediately recovered.
"Sorry." He said quickly and left the scene in a jiffy.

Ellen and I let out a sigh of relief, but wait, was that, no, A SIMILAR POLE IN FRONT OF HIM! And of course a wet floor sign that he would overlook.

Just then I saw a cop.
I decided to call him and tell him about stolen statue or whatever it was.
"Sir!" I shouted loudly.
The cop and the whole class (including Ms.Thompson) turned to look at me.
"Thief!" I shrieked and pointed towards the weird looking man.

Chapter -10

Chapter 10

She stared at a blank space at the back of my head as if there was something there that would cause her peril.

"Him!" she said in a daunted tone.

Eric and I turned to see a man, seeing him Eric's eyes immediately widened, clearly showing that something was wrong.

I slowly turned back getting ready for the most scary, blood curdling, spine chilling, sinister human being I thought I would see in my life.

As soon as my heard was 90 degrees towards my right I slowly opened my eyes to see-a man, he was a man all right but not the way I imagined him to be.

He  was a bald headed, short, plump man with thick round glasses and two of his teeth hanging out of his mouth.

He must have had his thumb in his mouth throughout his 
childhood-my mommy used to tell me that's what caused them to be that way.
"That man?" I asked in a confirming tone.
"Yes." both twins said at the same time.
"Are you sure?" I asked re-confirming
"Yes." they restated.
"He doesn't look like he could do something that bad ?"
"HE DID!" they both said angrily.
"But what did he do?" I questioned.
"After he stole the thing" I added.
"He bumped into a pole then.." 
"Slid across a wet floor.." Eric interrupted.
"Then stumbled upon a statue's leg.."
"..and got hit right in the center by the statue's arm..."
"Then fell on a piece of armor that cut him on the arm."
"IT WAS VERRRY VIOLENT!" said Eric
"And then seeing him Ms.Thompson fainted because of her phobia of blood..."
"...and fell on a rock, and got hurt badly on the spine."
"SO HE'S A BAD GUY!" said Eric.

I was suddenly scared now, we all liked Ms.Thompson she 
was a good teacher, so we wouldn't want anything bad to happen to her.

But I knew what to do to save her, in fact we all did.
It was not that hard.

"So we can just stop that man from bumping into that pole!" I said.
"Yeah, that's what we were thinking, but look!" Ellen pointed towards the man.

Chapter-9


Chapter 9


I lazily walked towards them and asked,"What's wrong? You both seem down?"
"We...we both just...had.." Ellen said nervously, as if she was terrified of something.
Eric on the other hand just sat there, he seemed scared, very scared.
"Had what?" I asked seriously.
"A..a..." "A vision." Eric said.
"A vision? Of what?" I asked, hoping I wasn't forcing them to talk about something they didn't want to talk about.
"It was a man, he was...weird." said Ellen.
"Do you both have the same visions often?" I asked curiously.
"Yes." They both replied at the same time "But not ones like this." Ellen added.
"They're usually about events that take place soon after we have the vision."
She said.
I was open mouthed yet, I couldn't say anything, there were surprisingly no questions.
I was just startled and also a little afraid.
They were telling me that, they had visions? Like
in those movies? That actually came true?
The heights of fiction!
I was extremely creative as a child, I used to live in lands of wonder made with bits of my own imagination, where adventure was the key to everything.
So I unquestionably believed them.
All I wanted to know was what they just saw.
"So..you're afraid of just the sight of a weird looking man?"
I asked.
"No, it was what the weird man did." Eric explained.
Well this was  a much larger problem than dancing Aditya-the ballet king.
This was more of an Eric and Ellen-the vision twins problem.
So I decided to get more information. 
"What was he doing?" I asked in a soft tone.
"He was here at the museum.." replied Ellen in an even softer tone than mine.
"So what did he do here?" I asked worried.
"He...stole something like a statue...and then.."
Ellen stopped with fear.

Chapter-8

Chapter 8


"....dancing?" I asked him, trying as hard as I could to control my laughter.
"Yes, its called the ballet, have you heard of it?"

As he spoke that sentence I became angry, enraged to be precise.

He thought that I of all the people in the world, wouldn't know what a commercial dance form even was?
How dare he accuse my perception!
"Yes." I replied in an obvious manner.
"But why are you doing it..now?"
"Because my teacher insists I practice every minute of the day."he said proudly.
Okay, I could not keep up with this ballet obsession.
"So, you like ballet?" I asked not knowing what to comment.
"No, you see it helps strengthen the bonds between the bones, increase muscular activity..."
That was it, not one more second was I going to stay there to hear him go on and on about how awesome ballet was!
"Oh.." I said as he concluded a long, boring speech, which again, I had NO interest of listening to.
As I left I decided and concluded that being TOO inquisitive was good for NOBODY.
Just then I noticed something peculiar; again (It must've been astonish Aneesha day) but this time it was with Eric and Ellen.
They..they were quiet.
Quiet!, but thats something they never are.
Seeing the depressed and tense expressions on their faces you could tell that there was something bothering them.
"God, so many weird events today" I thought to myself.
Okay, I'm not going to ask them why, no, I won't, that was enough I had for the day.
But my brain was impelling me to do so by all these QUESTIONS.
"Why do you think they're sad? Maybe its because of you, remember when you took one of their jelly beans without telling them, or is it because they have a personal problem? Or know a big secret about human extinction."
"GO ASK THEM!", it screamed.
"Okay" replied my legs, arms and heart.

Chapter-7


Chapter 7


I then noticed Eric and Ellen who were standing there hopelessly listening to the most lifeless lecture they ever heard about robots.

They secretly wanted to do the same thing I wanted to, but that's where manners become boundaries.

".....appeared more practical applications such as automated machines, remote-control and wireless remote-control." Aditya concluded.

We all let out a sigh of happiness and relief of the long, boring and irritating disquisition to be over.
But little did we know it was not..

"Now coming to your question.." Aditya continued.


That very sentence made the hearts of Ellen, Eric and I skip a beat.
There was more? But that was enough knowledge about robots that we needed for our ENTIRE life!

Just then we heard the most beautiful words spoken by a familiar voice
"What's the matter" said our teacher, Ms.Thomson.
She, to us, seemed like a saviour who had come to save us from the most boring, un-understandable and lifeless speech in the world.
"We are debating about robots!" Eric explained.
"Oh, you seem to know a lot 'bout robots, eh Eric?" she asked.
"Yeah!" He said happily.

"Okay kids I think the next thing we're seeing is going to be about robots, so you can keep your questions to yourself until then, okay?" she said looking at of course, me.

It's surprising how she used the word okay twice.
Ellen & Eric decided to leave their argument unfinished for the better. 

But just then I noticed something, Aditya was doing something peculiar, was he...no it couldn't be, dancing? 
No I thought to myself.
He must've been doing some special type of exercise that he had seen on the internet.
But seeing his moves it didn't seem so.
He was dancing, definately dancing, but the thing that surprised me the most was that nobody cared to notice.


Probably because people didn't dare to come near him.
Because if they come near him he may say something, and if he says something, well, we all know how that would go.

His dancing style was oddly graceful and sharp.
But at the same time I couldn't help laugh to myself thinking of 
what a moron he looked like.
Then something abnormal happened I noticed that he was doing the, ballet?
No, impossible, sure he was odd, annoying, boring, ununderstandable and a complete nerd but ballay? That was just, WOW!
I slowly moved toward him and seeing me, he stiffened.
"Hi" he said awkwardly.
"Hey..." I said...
"Were you...?"

Chapter-6

Chapter 6

I turned back and saw, Eric and Ellen who, as usual, were brawling their guts out.
"NO!, it doesn't" said Ellen in a rather forlorn and confident tone.
"YES IT DOES!!!!!" said Eric, who now was clearly offended..

I could not stand the amount of questions passing through my head.
What were they fighting about? Why were they fighting about it?
When will they ever get along? Why are unicorns sooooooo beautiful? Should I ask them why? Will they tell me?

"IF YOU WERE NOT SUCH A BRAINLESS BROTHER YOU WOULD KNOW THAT IT DOES NOT!!!" Ellen said furiously.
Okay that was it, no matter what they say I decided to ask them what they were fighting about.

"Hey, Ellen" "What's the matter?" I asked nervously.

"THE MATTER IS THAT MY BROTHER DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT TECHNOLOGY!" Ellen said in an even more indigent tone.
"I KNOW EEEEEEEEEEVERYTHING ABOUT TECHNOLOGY!!!!" said Eric.
"THEN JUST ADMIT THAT ROBOTS ARE GOOD!!" Ellen pushed.
"ROBOTS WILL TAKE OVER IN THE FUTURE!!!"said Eric.

Now that I knew what this argument was about I didn't want to get involved.
This was because of the fact that I didn't know who was right.
I mean I remembered seeing a movie where robots abducted the world and erased human race, but that may also be fabrication.
So I decided to leave slyly before they noticed.
But it was too late, Ellen and Eric started taking votes.
"So what do you think Stella?" asked Ellen.
"Well....." Stella knew nothing about technology, so she decided to just take Ellen's side as usual.
"I think that Ellen is right!" she said confidently.
"WELL WHAT DO YOU THINK TIMMM??" asked Eric in a threatening tone.
"I think that...ROBOTS ARE DANGEROUS!!!" he screamed.
They then turned to the two people that they thought had the answer.
Aditya and I.
I tried my best to ignore them as if they were not staring at me impatiently.
I was indirectly telling them to ask the know it all, Aditya.
Understanding my sign, they turned towards him and demanded him for an answer.
"So, what do you think Aditya?" at that point I decided to say the opposite of whatever he would, as I was a tad bit covetous of him.
I didn't realise he would start telling us about robots.
"You see, a robot is a mechanical or virtual artificial agent, usually an electromechanical machine that is guided by a computer program. Robots can be autonomous or semi-autonomous..."
WHAT!, I thought to myself, that was not related to anything, he was JUST telling us what a robot was, and doing a VERY bad job at it.
As I was thinking he kept going on and on on robots, he wouldn't stop!

I felt like letting out a fierce STOP! at his face, but didn't want to hurt his feelings.

Chapter-5

Chapter 5

"Yeah" he said timidly,
"Oh, so what else do you know about" I said, hoping I wasn't being too informal- I was trying to get right to the point, as his answer did not satisfy what I wanted to know.
"I know about other things, other animals..." he replied.
"Oh so animals must be your leisure interest, de règil?"
I threw in the de règil as I wanted to know whether he knew what it was because most of the kids at my school didn't even know what leisure was. I mostly used it to cover up for the informality I had shown before.
"Vaguely meticulous" he said.
"Because de regil actually means required, like 'it is necessary for you to do so'"
By this answer of his I felt a little bad, as if he was correcting me because I knew nothing, and also because he was pronouncing de règil wrong.
I didn't expect him to know that much.
"And also about the animals, I learn about several things, not only animals." he said lucidly.
"Like?" I asked.
"Usually learn about whatever comes to my mind, you see I keep thinking about things and then when I want to know more, I google them"
"Oh..." I had nothing else to say, he probably knew more than I did, I never Googled anything, probably because I trusted human answers more, or was just too lazy to type.
"OK, nice talking to you!" I concluded and left as furtively as I had come.
As we continued I started to feel lesser than someone. Until that moment I thought I was smart for asking questions-but now I felt dumb for not using the exceptional idea of using Google.
Well at least I knew what I was going to do after going home.
"YES IT DOES!!!" shouted a voice interrupting my thoughts, again.

Chapter-4

Chapter 4



I, along with the whole class turned to see who the enlightened one was.
"Dinosaurs were spread all around the world when they existed."
said a thin, pale boy wearing glasses, not that I didn't, I myself owned a pair, but they were clearly less nerdy that his.
"In fact there were many dinosaurs where egypt stands now.." he said timidly.
"So its proven, I'M RIGHT!" screamed Eric with satisfaction of winning.
Ellen and Eric were twins who were overly competitive and could not stand each other.
Though they were twins they had completely different personalities.
Ellen was smart, cunning and creative, while Eric was funny, jovial and friendly.
"No you're not!" said Ellen, interrupting my thoughts. "You were wrong about everything else." "Im pretty sure that the dinosaurs were in Egypt before humans even existed!" "Right, Aditya?" she asked. "Yeah" he said.
So out of this whole conversation I learnt only one thing, the nerdy boy's name.
I kept thinking and realised something, I had already known that dinosaurs existed in Egypt because I had already researched dino's I already had that question a long time ago.
Then I looked at Aditya and smiled, when actually I was anxious to know more about him? Was he just like me? Did he know more things than me? Was he smarter than me? Was he more inquisitive than me?
I knew that there was only one way I could find the answer, by talking to him!
I leisurely slid towards him and introduced myself.
"Hello, I'm Aneesha!" I said, not that he wouldn't know me, I mean everybody knew me as the 'questions' girl.
"Hey, I'm Aditya." he said softly.
"So you like dinosaurs eh?" I asked, not that this question was important, it would just tell me whether he knew stuff only about dinosaurs or if he knew things about other stuff too.
