When I Met You

That Interview

Those were the beginning days of college, everything seemed new. I could see all those new faces, eager to shine, curious about others' smile, ready to accept any challenges- whatever the circumstances be. However I had a hard time, setting the gear and making new friendships. I could feel that after a boy replied so damn harshly to me. But there was always a hope, I thought of the days to come.

And there was that day which changed everything. I had to attend the final interview for the membership of one of the prestigious clubs in the college and it was the first time I saw her; she was an opponent to me though. She was sitting by me, answering the questions, the interviewer was asking. And guess what- she got selected, it was just another useless interview for me. May be I wasn't selected because I was paying more attention to see her answer than the questions being asked to me. But whatever it was, I had a different feeling. I wasn't sad, not being selected rather I was happy for her. I don't know where that feeling came from, it just came and I could do nothing more than to feel it. I was like- Hey! What's happened to me? Am I the same guy who was always serious about competitions and never accepted being defeated? My god! How come that small interview changed me or was it that girl?

I couldn't help out myself. I didn't even take my food that night. I was just thinking about that particular girl who took everything a long distance away from me. My attitude even my appetite had gone. I was totally pissed and even getting pissed off felt good.
