I don't know what's happening anymore it's like the team is constantly trying to tease me or something.
“So hey should we start sorting out the song and order,” Reyansh asked.
“Ya sure but don't u think they are up to something?” I said very doubtedly
“Why do they leave us alone all the time??” I continued
He stammers at first but then he tells me not to think much they just might be teasing us nothing else.
Might be just that any way we start working and we did the work in just 10 minutes.
“Woahh finally” I sighed as he smiled
we went down to the ground to the team
They were pretty much shocked seeing that we finished our job so fast.
Break got over Erica went to submit the songs and everyone else were dispersed doing something or the other I decided to sit on a corner of the ground and draw a bit.
Drawing or scribbling?
Reyansh asked while sitting beside me
“Huh?” I asked confusingly
“Oh ur really drawing ….. Remember the day I came to u during the band meeting and asked u if we could be friends?"
I nodded
"ya that day I saw u drawing with full concentration but when I peeked a little u were just scribbling”
“Oh oh, u saw that,” I said embarrassed.
“Ur drawing our school it looks pretty good”
"It does? Thanks" I replied
After a few minutes of awkward silence, he continued...
“So tell me something about yourself?"
He asked and I blanked out
I had nothing to say
No one has ever asked me that
"Why would u ask me that?"
"What do u mean by why would I ask u that "
"It's a genuine and common question everyone asks"
"Well I don't know if it's weird but I srsly don't know"
“Do u now know how much u neglect yourself?
Don't u underestimate yourself too much?
How sad that such a lovely person has nothing to say about herself"
“No no no it's just that no one has taken so much interest in me so I don't know what am I supposed to say my name is Ruhanika im 16 years old? I exclaimed
And the reply to that question is something I would never forget in my lifetime
And he goes on:-
"I will tell u about u-
You love listening to music, you love singing ur pretty good at it but u think ur not
U love to dance when u r in the mood, and u love ur friends so much that u only think about their happiness
U think u r not very beautiful but I think u r really pretty."
He said all this and I could say or do nothing except to stare at him with a lot of happiness, sadness, confusion, and whatnot.
“I like u” he added
“From the first time, I saw u I know it's weird but ya that's how it is and I know the feelings don't reciprocate but I just wanted u to know I hope you will understand and not let this affect our friendship."
What the heck- this was my literal reaction I had no idea what was going and slowly the dots started connecting.
