Many days passed like this. Going to school, chatting with friends, studying, coming back home and the process keeps going on.Till today. It is the last day at school today because from tomorrow our summer vacations start.

Anyways, let me tell you about today. Anne had to attend some extra classes today at school, so she didn't come in the bus with me. So I was sitting alone in the seat. I suddenly felt jealousy crept in me. With everyone. That they all were sitting with their friends and chatting, laughing, gossiping and I was sitting alone.

Till Finnick entered the bus.

There was a hush silence. Everybody was staring at him and wondering where will he sit because the whole bus was full except..except..except my seat!! Suddenly everyone seemed to have noticed this because they were glancing at my direction and murmuring something. Finnick calmly came and sat beside me, pretending not knowing what the entire commotion is all about.

We sat still without saying a word to each other.But then he said "Hey What's your name?" with a happy smile. "Hi.I am Andrea." I reply with a flushed smile.

"Nice to meet you Andrea. And I don't need an introduction, do I?"He said in a humourous way. I don't think there was any hint of ego or arrogance in him. I shaked my head with a smile.

And then there was an awkward silence.

Mustering some courage, I asked him, "Didn't you used to go by your private car? So how in bus today?"

He chuckled. "Don't want me in the bus, do you?"

"No!" I exclaimed. "I was just wondering.."

"Well, I didn't feel like driving by car." He replied.

"Oh."

And there was an awkward silence again.

"I didn't leave Anne. I loved her a lot till..." he started saying suddenly. Maybe he thought I was her friend so I could help settle the differences between them both.

"Till you had another girlfriend?" I suddenly uttered.

He nodded his head in negative and said,"I never saw any other girl. I was committed to Anne. I was not able to call her, this doesn't mean I left her but that's the problem with her. She does not listen to anybody else once she has made up her mind.Don't you agree?"

I was still in daze seeing him sharing so many things with me but i replied, "Uh..actually..I don't know her so well umm..because I..I am new in this school."

He chuckled.

And then he asked me whether I was excited for the summer vacations. But I was confused like every time. I should be screaming and shouting from happiness but I am worried about the boredom that is surely going to set in.

What am I supposed to do in these holidays?!

And then as if he read my thoughts, he said, "You can go to Anne's house, you know. She lives in Broekheart Street. House no.14."

With a feeling of sadness I replied,"Thanks but I live in Greenview Street. So i obviously can't visit her that often. Her house is far from there.."

I stopped saying when I saw him looking at me without even blinking his eyes. Seeing my confused look he said,"But you can visit me." He smiled.

Great.

Now Finnick and me live in the same place. How will Anne see this?That most probably I would be spending the summer break with him.

I replied,"Maybe.Why not?"

He smiled without responding.

I was suddenly cautious of all the boys and girls looking at us because nobody expected Finnick and me to talk so much on our first meeting, at least. I lowered my eyes and looked at my feet.

What a great turn of events. Earlier, I was jealous of THEM that they all are enjoying with their friends unlike me. And now THEY are jealous of ME that Finnick and I are talking so much.

I suddenly found myself blushing and smiling. I cupped my hands around my cheeks.They were hot.

Why am I blushing?

And then i knew the reason.

It's not everyday I get a chance to make everyone jealous of me. Not even when I was a basketball team's captain and won prizes for school.

And one more reason.

Its not everyday that I get to sit with a star.

A star whom everybody wants to talk to.

A star whom everybody wants to make theirs.
