Chapter 2~ Demanding Roommate

His eyes behind the spectacles found mine.

I broke the stare feeling anxious by the depth of his eyes like they were hiding something big.

Why am I so dramatic?

I took a step back and continued the task of getting the papers photocopied. After I did mine I stepped aside to move but he didn't move an inch from his place, instead he continued gazing at me.

I cleared my throat awkwardly for him to move out of my way.

I don't know what was he even looking at me? I mean I agree I wasn't ugly but I wasn't even drop dead gorgeous to caught unmoving eyes.

He snapped out of it then flustered shuffling away all the while looking down as if he was embarrassed.

Seeing him in embarrassed state had me got a second hand embarrassment.

I nodded walking briskly but that must have come off as rude. I side glanced at him found him too side glancing at me through his hair.

Oh God.

I turned around immediately.

Way to make this more awkward.

I moved swiftly bumping with the pile of sheets and it staggered and sheets went falling all over hitting the Sahil's bundle. It topples down too

oh no!

"Stay there!" I hissed at them

Zoya rushed over to help while Sahil said,"it's alright I have got this" he bent down to accumulate them.

"Sorry"I said, wincing seeing the mess.

Why was I so clumsy?

He nodded without looking, must be feeling bad for me.

The bell rang saved me from further embarrassment, announcing that our 15 minutes break ended.

Zoya handed him the sheets she collected all the while apologizing him profusely like it was her fault. I knew, She felt pity for him seeing his condition.

Sahil didn't say anything he shifted holding his bundle. Might be painful to be in his position to know that everyone could see what you were facing.

We left for the lectures I glanced at him one last time he was still struggling to know how the machine works. Frustrated, he kicked it and then looked around here and there nervously, my lips curled up slightly I faced front when I felt his eyes on me.

πππ

At 3:0pm my back ached sitting in the same position I leaned against my seat and stretched my legs to get rid of kinks.

Zoya beside me stared at the board even though the lecture already was over.

I didn't disturb her, I slid my phone out from my blazer's pocket.

Five missed calls from mum

One message from Dad

I opened it,

Call me once your classes get over

I shot up in alarm why would he want me to call him?
what did I do?

I shook my head scolding my dramatic self, he just wanted to know what was going on or how was I doing?

I was going to shut my mobile when my finger on their own accord pressed to the personal folder and like so many times I found myself reading his text messages.
