Common common! Don't
give up on me!!' she murmured waiting for the lift to arrive. After few seconds
the lift doors opened and she rushed inside. But someone pushed past her making
her trip on her toes.
"Shit.. sorry!
Are you hurt?" she heard a familiar male voice ask her. She didn't have to
guess it was Rahul. Her lab partner, her Class topper. If you are thinking he
is a nerd, no you are wrong! He is just the special someone who has god gifted
extra brains that process all study materials and lectures, seriously! He
doesn't even need to study! And she? Well she shares this strange relationship
with him that she still could not figure out what is he to her? A friend? a
classmate? An aquintace? Or just a random person from her college?
Or rather he just
love to "Annoy", "tease", "mock" and sometimes he even dares to play pranks on
her. And she? Never she minded! Mostly because was one of those girls who would
laugh at their own embarrassments. She was that girl who didn't mind to be
ragged [healthy way ofcourse!], instead she went along friendly with almost
whole school. Yeah that girl, who wasn't- well that good of a looking! But yet,
she was everyone's friend.
"no.. I am..
fine.. thank you.." she breathed. Getting herself back to normal she leaned to
the lift walls waiting for the lift to move in jet speed. But she had learnt
one fact since she was a kid, that god hates her.
Really! Like take this instant, during all other days the lift would move like
a rocket, but today when she badly wanted to get out of here; the lift is
moving in snail pace! Now do you believe? God hates her!
When he stood
next to her, she realized how much their proximity affected her. She did
realize it before, everytime they dashed each other during lab experiments,
everytime he laughed along with her, everytime he gave her some advices,
everytime he told her about himself, everytime; she felt butterflies inside her
stomach. But she brushed it off thinking its nothing but awkwardness. No it
wasn't! it was her freaking-little-traitor-heart that kept hopping around
everytime he was close.
"so.. what plans
next?" he asked in a casual voice.
"um.. head back
home.." she earned a chuckle from him in return.
"I meant.. future
duh! What do you want to be? Engineer or doctor?" he asked.
"oh.. that.. I guess..
doctor?"
He grinned at
her. "I knew it!" he hit his fists in air. She raised her eyes brows at him.
"ah..nothing.. you were so much into bio classes that half our classmates have
already put bets on which medical' college you might join!" he said cheekily.
She gave a smile
in return. Well she didn't know she was that obvious.
"I take you to be
an engineer then?" she asked him.
He nodded..
fishing his hands inside his jeans pockets.
She had always
had this little crush on him. She didn't know what attracted more- those light-shaded
t-shirts that stuck to his body like second skin, or those biceps that kept
saying hello to her everytime he moved, or those dark brown eyes she stared at
when he would concentrate on some chemistry experiments, or those chubby cheeks
that she always wanted to pull, or may be that grin on his face that would make
all girls melt on their knees? Well she just.. umm she didn't know!
"so.. how is
life..?" she blurted unknowingly.
He looked at her
as though he was seeing her for the first time. "we have been going to same
school since 9 years now, and we usually share same classes too! And since
starting letters of our names comes in order we share same labs too!" he
reminded her. "um.. so? I mean.. we are um.. just classmates.. and.. we.. um..
didn't talk much about anything else.. so.. um..-"
"life is great..
if that's what you wanted to know.." he said interrupting her.
She scratched her
brains for any other way to strike an interesting conversation.
"i.. um.. you..
um.. HeyDoYouHaveAGrilFriend?" she blurted out.
Rahul looked at
her for few seconds with confused look "what? Come again"
Biting her lip
she repeated slowly "hey do you have a girl friend?"
She thought he
would say a No, because as he said they have practically shared their classes since
4th std, she haven't seen a single girl clinging around him. He was
normally friendly with everyone but hung around with only his group that had 6
boys. So.. may be he doesn't have a gf.. may be she had chan-
"I do.." he
replied non-chalantly.
Her heart broke
into millions of pieces then and there! When the lift doors opened she saw a
long-haired-girl waiting for him outside the doors, "please keep it secret
okay?" he whispered in her ears sending shivers down her spine. And then he
disappeared with that long-haired-girl.
For the next two
months, she saw him less. Their labs were over and everyone were preparing for
their exams. She saw him with a whole new group now! He had his same old 6 boys
but it included 4 new girls along with that long-haired-girlfriend. It was then
she got to know from one of her friends that he had been dating the said girl
since an year now! But he is quite secretive about it. And here she thought,
all those pranks, those teasing's, those double-meaning conversation was
because he liked her. Well he was just being annoying-jerk!'
.~.~.~.
"thinking about me?" He asked
bringing her out of her thoughts. she shook herself out of the past that she had buried deep down inside her.
