A Room for Confession

It felt awkward.

Today:

"Even being one of those studious kids in the class, fun was what I always had on my mind, the times where boys had to be the backbenchers to have there school life lived like pre school kids.

It was when the only few faces to meet and look at everyday and have it sorted out. But then she was there too. The girl I never thought I would fall for this much after knowing her for so long. The girl I knew from the start but realised that its her very late. I couldn't have thought of knowing this girl like I do now in the present.

She's pretty, she's smart, she's adorable, and ofcourse along with all of this she's highly introvert.

The thing beautiful girls have with being introvert is just scary, you know."

-----------------------

Back then:

"Dude, I gotta tell you something", Neil came to me, being all excited yet confused.

"Don't tell me its about you liking one more girl, one more day, whom you saw in the auditorium" I just had to say it cause why not!?

Neil's always falling in love with every pretty girl he sees. Its like they mesmerise his eyes for no reason at all just for a day until another pretty girl walks in.

"Obviously yes! But that's not the actual topic" no wonder how proudly the yes was said.

"Abhi likes someone I guess"

For the first 10 seconds, I knew this was shocking but the next moment I was a little bit, actually a little bit lot happy if that was true.

Abhi has not liked someone since years and who and which homie wouldn't be happy for his homie. But wait.... the girl????

The next thing I realised after being dramatically happy for him was that its gonna be me who now helps those two or actually becomes the mediator between those two. Why???? Cause obviously Abhi's an introvert! Like who even invented this 9 letter freaky word!!!!

"Bro, I knew something was going on but you chose to not tell me!? Fine, no place for you in the night out then!!" I was just trynna know about the girl,you know.

"Dude you know her, obviously. She's like me but much smarter and pretty too!!" I've never heard Abhi saying about someone being smarter than him! This is serious????

"Who?? Riya???" I knew it wasn't her cause he hates her but why not just make him irritated!?!?

"NOOOO!!! Its ANAGHA. She's there on the 3rd bench"
(Abhi wth!? How, why were you blushing so much? And literally you couldn't tell me if it was her??? She barely talks to anybody but me! THIS IS KINDA AWKWARD)

The moment I knew it was her I knew this is gonna be hard if I don't intervene ofcourse or even if I do. But guess being the only guy friend has its perks.

"Woah!!! Not her! I wonder how you guys will talk if she says yes. I'm the only guy who she talks to and even that took a lot of time. Or guess I'll have to be the messenger." Obviously what would I say if two introverts would get together. And if my homie and the shy, pretty girl I talk to get together. No kidding.

"Yeah or you could just shut up and help me" Okayyy Abhi really liked her!

"Maybe ask her out too for the night out then?"

"Dude, please I already have my heart up in my hands. You invite her. You guys talk and its basically you that I started liking her. Cause whenever you guys talked in between breaks I was there. I couldn't help.

I'll talk to her there then!" I knew he would say this at any moment. Huhh!

"No ofcourse! You like her, not me. I just talk to her platonically okay! Or else okay let me take her out and you could just sit here! She would definitely say yes to come with me I guess" Not that I would really take her out.....

"Fine I'll shove up my guts to myself then thank you but come with me. Let this be like a casual invitation okay?"
There you go my boy!!!

"Yeah obviouslyy!"

"H- hh, he- heyy" please not the stuttering Abhi. She's pretty smart to know that you like her. What's this weird thing???

"Hey! Hey Shrey!" Her voice, its beautiful!!!!!
She is beautiful!! Wait why am I saying this now???
(the quick step back)

"Aren't you coming to the night out tomorrow??" Woah where did the guts come out so fast Abhi??!?

"Umm. No I don't know anybody there and Shrey didn't tell me about it anyways." Why's she talking so quietly?? And how would I know that I'm supposed to invite her? Ughhh, the introverts.....

"Well, I'm inviting you now, would you like to come then? Happy??" I couldn't be there in silence anymore ofcourse. Why am I the mutual!!!!

"Let me say itttttt......" Abhi was gonna definitely thank me later.

"Yeah okay. Could you come and pick up me Shrey??" She was nervous. No wonder. But I was too???

"Ahh yes fine! See you then. Bye"

Conversations never felt so awkward between us though. Nevermind. Perks of being the mutual friend.

------------------------

Today:

Who knew that I could go from 'Not her' to 'Its her'. Maybe I knew it back then but it takes time to be sane about saying 'Its her'. Right when the conversations got weird. Or maybe when I came to know that it was Anagha. Never noticed how pretty, how beautiful she was till the day somebody else I knew liked her and I had to be the mutual one......

-----------

Hope you guys liked the first part.
It was pretty straight and easy. But it's actually a true incident..... or maybe not.....

Maybe writing it easy is not that bad, when the story's pretty! And trust me it is pretty, simple and cute.
Well the next part's gotta be the most interesting trope.
The beginning of friends to lovers yet undiscovered. Its gonna be so good when......
