*On Hiatus*
"So? Do you like me?" He didn't look at me. His eyes fixed on his mobile screen which was blank and had nothing on it.
"What?" I was extremely shocked by his words. Me? I like him? I mean I do but as friends.
"What?" He looked at me. His...

Just as he said, he was standing next to the staircase along with a boy. Maybe his friend. A black t-shirt and black pants. All black. If I had known, I would have worn all black too. Never mind, my jeans is black. As soon as he saw us he waved toward us. Looking at him made me chuckle, like always. Idiot. He looks so funny.
I don't know when it happened but it seems I have fallen for him. My second crush. I knew him way before Jenny. Though of course, we met on the first of classes. We started our friendship on WhatsApp. Probably he was asking everyone which college they got in.
After he asked me about my college and we knew that we got the same one, the conversation ended that day. Then the next day we talked on chat for hours. Sometimes during the lecture. We enjoy each other's company.
Slowly we went one step ahead and talked for two hours on the phone. On what? Series, anime, and everything that came in during the conversation. It was fun. The only problem was that we were that friendly only on chat or call not in class. Hence, I was alone for two days. But after Jenny came he started talking to me. First, it was only greetings then we started to laugh and fight too.
I started to observe him every day in class. His million faces were cute but the best one is when he pouts. My god. He has a better pout than any girl. His kinda long hair flew whenever the wind blew and his smile always shone whether it was bright or not.
His eyes are deep brown, almost black but when seen carefully the brown shade can be seen. I fell for everything, his looks, his behavior, his personality, everything.
"Stop it! You look like an idiot." I said as soon as I reached down.
"Hii!" Jenny said. "You are?" She asked the guy beside Kartik.
"I am Aditya." He replied.
"We can do this introduction later. Let's go.
The train has arrived." Kartik moved us all on the train.
Very packed. No place to stand forget about an empty seat. I glued myself to the rod near the entrance.
"Be careful. When Andheri comes, come a little inside." Kartik said and glued himself beside me. Jenny stood in front of me and Aditya stood beside Jenny. We kept quiet until the Ram Mandir. None of us talked. The train was just so stuffy. It felt difficult for me to breathe.
And then the cherry on the cake I started feeling suffocation. Just the thing I feared. I just can't stand crowded and closed places. It becomes difficult to breathe and stuffy. Sometimes I feel dizzy too.
It's okay nothing will happen. Calm down. I told myself. My breathing started to get heavy. Jenny noticed. But I asked her to keep quiet. I kept my finger on my lips and smiled. A sign to tell her, I'm fine. However, I know she didn't believe me but it is better to not draw attention.
I caught the rods behind me tightly, trying to support myself. So that I don't lose balance. The train emptied a little and there was finally some space. Now I can breathe.
"You okay?" Jenny whispered. I nodded.
This is nothing. Andheri is the biggest challenge. I hope I survive.
