It was a tiresome day for you at college. It's been two weeks since you had been completing the stack of assignments assigned to you.
It has always been like this ever since you entered college.At first you used to be very enthusiastic about completing all assignments at once but slowly, you realized as soon as you completed one assignment another would just appear out of thin air.
You knew this was only natural after high school, but the pressure got to you. You tried your best to complete your assignments and have time for yourself but as you expected it was difficult i.e. until you met Him...
You were sitting on the empty stairs that surrounded the main stage in your campus, you remember it being around 6 pm , when you were listening to music on your headphones as you admired the pink sky as the sun was setting, and feeling the evening air brush past your face.
You were trying to take a break from your homework, trying to relax for a bit and think about things you didn't want to say any one and closed your eyes just feeling the evening wind rushing by.
Suddenly you felt someone tapping your shoulder.You looked at the hand on your shoulder and looked at the boy's face who was asking you to remove your headphones.You usually would've been annoyed but seeing his face, the music playing in your headphones slowly started to fade away and you see his face lit up with a gentle but friendly smile.
You snap back to reality and immediately take off your headphones and say,"Oh uh-um I-I'm sorry h-how may I h-help you?". Your cheeks flushed red as you just heard yourself stuttering at the sight of him.
He could sense that you were startled by him, taking responsibility he reassured you, "I'm sorry for the sudden interruption, I didn't mean to disturb you but, I have this assignment to get the signs of at least 20 people on this- Nevermind I don't know why I am blabbering so much my friends tell me I talk a lot- I-I'm so sorry could you just please sign this it's for an assignment of mine if you don't mind." You chuckled thinking he was cute and agreed to sign the paper he handed out to you.
He took the paper back and shyly rubbed, the back of his neck with his hands, as you both looked at each other in silence until he spoke, "Um..you should smile more often, happiness suits you better." You were startled by the sudden compliment and responded,"I'll try to."And let out a small laugh.
You watched him skipping and going away, farther from where you were seated. Then you saw him stop near a tree jumping around a tall boy, as tall as him, showing the paper he handed out to you. You thought he was just really adorable.
The stress you felt immediately vanished. Was he an angel just making his rounds to make everyone around him happy? You thought to yourself.
After two weeks you were at the ice cream place that was in your campus itself, you went there to get an ice cream for yourself for all the hardwork you did for the past two weeks completing your assignments. As you were entering the shop you bumped against a tall boy, his blonde hair covering his eyes, making his ice cream fall on your shirt.
You thought it was your fault and didn't say anything but as you were raising your head for apologizing, you both looked each other in the eye and gulped in unison and spoke,"I'm sorry-" "I'm sorry-", As you both saw each other you both recognised each other.
You wiped the ice cream that fell on your brown top.You ordered another Mint choco ice cream for him, even though he refused for the hundreth time and an ice cream for you.
You both took your seats near a water fountain and that's when he asked, "It was clearly my fault so why did you buy me another ice cream?", Tilting his head. You answered,"The reason is quite simple I ruined your ice cream as I bumped into you, and if I didn't but you this ice cream you might sulk all day and I can't be the reason for that, I would hate it...".
