Backbencher Life

It's been 5 days since our friendship started and to be honest I'm really liking it.

He looks at me. Smiles at me. Follows me everywhere. In Maths class, he sits with me and talks to me. I listen to him and smile at him. 

He has not yet given me the answers to my questions. Even though I know his answers. But still, I want to hear it from his mouth. 

It's a different feeling, knowing that I can be liked by a boy. That a nerdy girl like me can be liked by the most popular boy of the school. 

There was a time, when I hated him the most. But now, things have changed. I like him now. He makes me smile, he makes me blush. 

There was a time, when I used to tell him that I'm not his fangirl and I'm not dying for his attention. But now, I crave for his attention.

I didn't liked when he avoided me that day. That's why I confronted him. And now, he gives me all of his attention. Now that I've accepted his friendship, he doesn't even look at other girls. Funny! Right?

But still, I'm wondering that, why me? Why do he likes me? Why did he never confessed about his feelings to me? He's an extrovert. And extroverts don't find any difficulty in expressing their feelings. Right?

I have to wait till he gives me my answers. He promised me that one day he will tell me everything. Which means, he will tell me one day that he likes me. 

And I'm desperately waiting for that moment.

I'm in my Tuition, sitting on the first bench, waiting for Meera. 

There's still 10 minutes left till our class begins. Sir has not yet arrived. Most of the students are here and are sitting and gossiping. 

And I'm bored. Meera is always on time. I don't want to be alone. I hate you Meera. You betrayed me by not coming. She has not even texted me. 

"What happened?"

I jumped out of my seat. Aryan is sitting beside me. I was too busy looking at the door, I didn't even noticed when he came and sat beside me. 

"You scared me!" I exclaim.

"Sorry, I didn't meant to." He chuckles. "What happened? Why so tensed?"

"Meera. I'm waiting for her. I'll be alone if she'll not come." I pout.

My phone beeped. It was a message from Meera.  

Meera: Sorry Vini..... I'll not come today. Periods cramp. It's so bad.

Me: Oh.... Ok... take care. I'll be alone today 😔.

"What happened?" Aryan asks.

"Aaa... it's a message from Meera. She'll not come. Stomach pain." I answer.

I'm sad.

Aryan was looking at me. I looked at him and gave him a reassuring smile.

"If you want I can sit with you." He suggests.

"No... no... no.... it's fine. You have friends there. You sit with them. I'll be ok."

He nods his head. "Then.... you can sit with us."

"Hmm! Aaa.... I.... Umm....."

"It's fine. You'll be okay. Me and my boys will give you company. It'll be fun." He smiles showing me his dimple.
