SAMYAK

"Hey back" they reply at the same time.

"You guys wanna watch a movie at my place today?"
I try to sound as careless as I can but to be I really want her to say yes.

I can't talk to this girl at tuitions coz she's so focused. At school she's always with Alina or Nikhil.

I want to know everything about her. Only to figure out why I'm so drawn towards her every damn time.

Ever since I'm here all I can see is her. When she laughs, I wish I made that joke.
When she looks low, I want to fix it somehow.

I've never been this obsessed with anybody. I don't even know if obsessed is the right word.

She's like this silent person who won't stop talking once she's comfortable and I strangely want her to be comfortable with me.

"A movie?" Nikhil asks skeptically.

"Yeah, never heard of one?" I ask, smiling.

"We're up for it. Text us the time and location, Samyak." There comes Alina out of nowhere.

I see Dev elbowing her and Alina ignores it with a heavy smile.

"I'm not sure if I can make it. My parents aren't in town so I can't go back home alone." Dev says.

"You guys should stay over at my place tonight." WHAT DID I JUST SAY? STAY OVER? AT MY PLACE? IN MY PERSONAL SPACE?

"Sure." Says Nikhil with an irritated look.
I don't understand this guy. He's the master of extroverts but does not answer me in more than 3 words ever.

"Are you sure? Won't it be an inconvenience?" Dev asks with a genuinely concerned look.

"If the guy is inviting us he definitely thought this through girl" Alina interrupts before I can answer.

"Plus all of us can fit in one couch don't worry Samyak." Alina adds.

Dev and Nikhil on one couch. No way.
