I woke up early the next day, I was totally in a Half good mood today, Shilpa waited for me yesterday, I was the one who misunderstood it and Overthought, But still, I was in a way that I am going to be like not at all talking to her Today, Yes, this sounds Mean But yes I am going to be. I freshened up and had breakfast It was already 8:30 and I was in hurry, Left half of the breakfast, took the bag, and was about to leave home as, 

"You forgot your Mobile, Ajju!" Shouted my Mom.

I checked my Pocket Oh, Yes She took it Yesterday. I took my mobile and Rushed to college, It was already late, I was totally in a hurry and reached College and to my shock, I saw Shilpa In front of our class waiting for someone. She saw me coming towards class, I saw her seeing me.

As I walked past her, she saw me, I knew she saw me, but didn't look at her and entered the class, and went to sit in my place. I still had that feeling she didn't meet me yesterday and was nicely talking to Koushik. I saw Shilpa coming into the class, I instantly stood and changed my place to the last bench and sat beside Nithin, The Tall guy with whom I sat yesterday.

"Hey, Hi brother!" I said in an enthusiastic voice, just to look happy.

"Oh, Sankruth right? Hi!" he said looking at me.

We exchanged some words as we spoke, and I just had a peek at Shilpa and to my surprise, she was talking to Koushik, who sat at my place. I was blacked out and saw them chatting nicely. Nithin was talking to me but I was totally watching them both talking.

Everyone stopped Everything as Sir entered the class. He came and started teaching like always. Few minutes into the class, I again looked at them both were listening to the class. I was already feeling sleepy and took my mobile out, just to time pass. As I took it out there were two messages and they were from Shilpa, I was struck for a second, and saw the time it was sent yesterday night, I then figured out Yes she sent me 3 messages but I just saw Only one and mom took. Ok Now I got it. I opened The messages,

"And even that was my mistake I said to wait but I didn't show up, Arey that guy Koushik was speaking to me from that time, I tried cutting it but you know he never left"

"I searched for you, but I didn't see you, So I left." It said.

I remembered all, she wasn't wrong she was talking to him, I was waiting I saw them talking and left immediately, maybe she searched for me after I left. It was my mistake and I overthought it. 

Dang Brooo...she might be feeling Really Bad.

I looked at Shilpa she was interestingly listening to the lecture. Suddenly she looked at my side, with a sudden move I looked away, I think she saw me seeing her!!

"Pakka she saw you, bro, Pakka she might think you are stalking her, Gone case, she thinks you are a creepy stalker, Ewww, bro!!!" Mini Man was going on.

"Please Bro can you just shut up and not interfere every time, I am already dying of guilt, She waited for me, but I overthought and started thinking all dirty. Just Shut Up"

After a bit of time, I was trying hard not to look at her during the lecture but my eyes weren't in my control, they uncontrollably went away, I saw her writing down something. I stopped looking at her and started listening to class.

It was the Lunch Break, I was having mine with Nithin who sat beside me, I was Talking to him about the college and some random things, I turned my gaze towards Shilpa for a second and saw her eating with her friends. I turned back and completed my lunch.

"Hey, Bro, U have Instagram?"Nithin asked me.

"Uh...Oh yeah yes I do, "sankruth7". I don't actually use it much. Just I Do have. Yours?"

"nithinreddy52, Follow me back bro Please. Only 10 more to 1000 followers"

I wondered what actually makes them have many followers or not, Do people care about all these? Whatever. I was thinking, and suddenly, I saw Koushik entering the class, he came towards me and sat beside me. 

"Hey, Bro How are you, U sat here? U usually sit beside me no?"

"Usually ah? We Just met yesterday right?"

"Oh Um...I mean" he was stumbling.

"Haha...I just came and sat here, it's nice here itself nothing like that"

"Oh ok," He said.

As we were talking, I saw Koushik seeing Shilpa Occasionally, and suddenly he turned towards her and started talking to Shilpa.

"Hey, Hi Shilpa," Koushik said turning towards her.

"Huh...Oh Hi," Shilpa said turning her gaze towards Koushik.

They started talking nicely and went on for 5 mins, I couldn't actually hear anything from her side I only Heard Koushik speaking most of the time, but tried hard. I completely turned my head towards Nithin as they both were talking.

I turned my head as Koushik called me.

"Bro, hey Bro She's calling You," Koushik said to me.

I turned towards her, with a bit of surprise.

"Hi," Shilpa said in a really enthusiastic voice, It can be seen in her eyes.

"Uh..Uh..Hi...Hello," My Stupid way of answering kicked in within no time.

"Hello. Wassup had your Lunch?" she was asking me. 

"Umm...Oh Yeah, I did" I said with a literally Stupidest accent.

"Ohh," She said.

I just saw her and turned my head away. I saw Koushik looking at me in look, I can understand that he might be thinking How did I even come until here.

"Cmon U stupid Dumb brain ask her how was her lunch" Mini man was a Life savior for that time.

With a real speed, I turned my face at her and asked,

"Umm...How was your Lunch?" I said realizing, that might be the worst way of asking.

Before she could answer, Sir barged into the class, everyone stood, and he started the class as usual with a rocket speed. Everyone sat down and started listening to the class. 

In the middle of the class, I just saw Shilpa with a really little scope and she was looking at me, I was stopped for a second, I saw she said,

"Biryani it was Today!!" she said raising her eyebrows. It created a very little Smile on our both faces, she looked really beautiful, and I might be really looking the opposite.
