Solitude (COMPLETED)

I am still getting used to 'being loved'

ANA’s POV:

I was at peace in every minute that I was with him. I rushed out of the cabin with my heart yet panting bad, because of his sudden romantic move in the last couple of minutes.

I don’t know if, what I have put myself into, is right or no; but I don’t seek an answer now..

I headed towards my next lect.

✨✨✨

It was particularly break time now. We headed to the canteen. I was sitting with Kelvin and Lara as usual, munching on my sandwich as always.

“Good thing you did not come to Peter's lect today.” Lara broke the silence. I looked at her with ‘what happened now?’ expression.
“He was searching for you.” Lara said as she took another big bite of her salad.

“really?” I asked in complete disbelief.

“hmm.” Kelvin continued for her. “he was like, ‘people are bunking my lect now.’ And then turned to Lara and asked her ‘where’s your best friend ’ Moron.” Kelvin said mimicing prof peter.
“Chuck girl, don’t spoil your best mood today because of him.” kelvin continued.

I immediately looked at him raising my eyebrow with a ‘what do u mean?’ face

“uhh.. I mean, don’t spoil your mood because of him.” Kelvin covered up.
But I could sense something fishy here. I don't know, perhaps its just in my head.

There was a subtle chaos behind me. Both Kelvin and Lara too, started looking behind me. I turned around to see Prof. Eric entering the canteen. ‘holy shoot. Why is he here?’
I was happy to see him, but more nervous.

Teachers hardly enter the canteen, mostly they just order meals directly to their cabin.  I turned back in normal direction facing Kelvin and Lara. I saw Kelvin trying to control his smile.

‘this guy definitely knows something.’

Kelvin raised his hands at sir and sir gave him a gentle nod.  The college kind of knew about their friendship, so it was really cool for kelvin to, you know, be around him freely.

‘I wish it could be the same for me.’

All the students in the queue moved aside to give professor his space till the counter. I was hopelessly staring at him the entire time. He took his coffee and and turned back to leave.

Our eyes met and now we both were looking at each other. I was the first one to break the contact.

I looked down at the table when I heard Kelvin speak, “why don’t you join us for the meal sir”

I am going to punch this guy in the face, I swear.

He came to our table. “umm.. no Kelvin.. thank you.. I have got some things to be done..” Eric said. Thank goodness.

With him around me, I know I wouldn’t be able to eat a percent of anything. 

“you guys are eating well?” Eric asked.

“yes” lara answered and I guess Kelvin nodded because I did not hear his voice.

I was busy staring at my table, fidgeting with my meal.

“yes?” Eric asked and I knew it was for me this time.

I looked up to see him already staring at me.  I was lost for words. He raised his eyebrows, expecting me to answer.
