WALLFLOWER

CHAPTER 4

I came home.

I didn't see win before coming. I don't know what to think of all these. Is he punishing himself for cheating on me? What is the use and why? It's all over long back. It's been years.

Everyone moved on. I moved on.

I am in love with Gigie. Am I?

Yes, I am. I defended my own thoughts.

It's true that I didn't fall in love with Gigie like I did for Win. But I learnt to love her in these past few years.

As for Win, I don't know when I fell in love with him. But I did love him... a lot.

I am wandering inside my house. I am alone today. My parents went out for some last-minute shopping. The loneliness is biting me.

My thoughts drifted back to Win. What happened between us. Where did we go wrong? The win I knew was very pure, genuine and he will never cheat on me.

But he did.

I still remember the first time I saw him.

Flash back

I am a rich, spoilt brat. My parents are doctors and owns a chain of hospitals in the country and I was to follow them on their path just like my sister Achara.

She followed them and is working as a neurologist in our hospital. I was having brains but I never wanted to become a doctor or anything for that matter. I just went to Collage for time pass. I goes to class only if I feel like.

It was my second year, I come to Collage only to checkout girls. On that day also, I came for picking up some girl as I broke up with my 'girlfriend with benefits' yesterday.

That's when I saw him first, in a hoodie which covered most of his face, holding a diary tightly in his arms. He came to register his name for the orientation. He was alone. He didn't talk to anyone. But I felt he was content on his own. He was genuinely happy on his own. The way he covered his face wit his hoodie, spiked my interest. There was something in him that was attracting me to him, like a moth to the flame.

I started following him.

He was very silent, shy and awkward. He doesn't have any friends. No, he had a friend; his diary. He comes studies, spends time in library when there's no class and goes home. I have never seen him even looking at other kids also. He just keeps to himself. He writes in his diary ...... a lot. I really want to read it, I want to see what he is writing. I even tried to steal it.... many times but with no success. He never leaves his diary unattended.

It's been a month now. I keep following him. But never approached him, I don't know why. I don't even know why I follow him around. I don't think he even knows, I exist. This is very out of my character.

I started coming to college regularly. My friends stared teasing me that I changed. Maybe they are right. I don't have a girlfriend from a month now. That itself is a very big change. That realization shocked even me. I never had a boyfriend before and I really don't know if I am attracted to him in that way. I am just .... attracted.

"Bright, approach him. If you are interested. He is a wallflower. So, he is never gonna notice you." Earth said.

"Wallflower??" I raised my brows.

"Yes, that's the name the kids here have given to him." Earth replied.

"What the hell, Earth, I am straight and I am not interested in that guy or any guy in that way. I am just curious. As I never saw his face." I told him off when I realized what Earth actually asked me.
