An Introvert's Love

Yura

Where is my phone!? God! I forgot to get it back from him. I didn't even secure it with passwords. He must have seen everything in it by now! 'Rana!' I yelled and looked at my mirror. My eyes went down on my lip and I traced my fingers in it remembering the warmth of his lips on mine. I want to feel it again but no chance. Ugh!

I put on my uniform and rushed down the stairs. "Amma I am already late I don't want breakfast please please ma just today please," I thought she would scold me back but to my surprise, she just nodded her head. She looks unhappy.

"What happened amma?" She looked at me and smiled sadly "Nothing dear, don't bother about anything and be happy" She walked out of the kitchen and into the room. "Okay, I will just leave now for college," I said to her not knowing if she heard me or not.

"This class is boring" Rekha whispered to me as I nodded my head to her in agreement. It's only the first class of the day and we are already feeling sleepy.

"Excuse me" I flickered open my eyes, my sleepiness flew away when his eyes caught mine. Why is he so beautiful? "No, he is handsome Yura," Rekha said chuckling.

God! Why the hell did I now utter my mind voice out loud? Rekha knew about the crush I have on Rana and everything else except for the kiss. So it's not that bad that she heard me.

Without blinking my eyes followed his as he spoke something to the professor. I wanted to blindfold all these girls who are gawking at him. He is only for my eyes to see. Why are you so handsome?

God! I buried my head in the book placed on the desk. "Yura?" The professor's voice echoed in the class making me sit straight. Why won't he just allow me to relax for a minute? Uff!

"Whom are you talking about?" What? I looked around the class to find some students seeing me with a weird smile and chuckles. What did I do now? Rekha had a surprised look on her face.

I so confusingly darted my sight towards Rana, he had a cold expression on his face. "I didn't talk about anyone," I said standing up from the bench. students started giggling hearing my words. What the fuck is happening here!!!?

"Is it just me or do you all heard Yura asking 'why are you so handsome?' "My breath hitched on my throat. How embarrassing! Why am I saying everything out loud today?

Everyone in the class broke into laughter and I looked down mortified. Well done Yura! For what? because you didn't cry yet, it's small progress, Yura. I'm proud of you. Really? Yes, babes. Thank you, it's the first time you have ever complimented me.

"Sit down" Professor waved his hands indicating the students to stop laughing. Rana and he spoke something seriously and after some time he left without sparing me a look. It hurts."You are unbelievable" Rekha nudged her shoulders with mine and gave me an assuring look. I returned a small smile.

Shortly after his departure professor informed us about Arts day which will be held at the end of this month. It's next week on Friday, so we have only 6 days to prepare for the programs. Rekha asked me to merge in the dance competition. I gave her a big no. She sadly mumbled an okay. What can I do Rekha? I am so scared of getting hurt again. I'm sorry.

I haven't got a single chance to see Rana today at college after that awful incident. I think he is kinda occupied by the whole Art's day thing. But I need my phone back! I want to read stories. God,! I banged my fist on the bed still wearing only my towel. I had a quick shower as soon as I returned home.

Mom was having a chat with our neighbor aunty and she looked much better than she did in the morning and so I didn't disturb her. I put on my dad's black t-shirt and my blue leggings and went downstairs to prepare tea as my mom hadn't made it yet.

"Hello aunty" I stilled at my place with a milk bottle in my hand listening to his pleasant voice. WHAT IS HE DOING HERE!
