On that confession, we got so many comments tagging a person named "umair Atif ." We sent a request to his ID through our common ID, and he accepted it. We saw his posts, and he was exactly what Aria wanted: tall, with a beard, honey-colored skin, a good physique, and dark hair. In one of his posts, he was wearing a black shirt, black pants, and goggles. Ohhh gawddd, when Aria saw that picture, she was speechless. We were discussing his posts in our group when Nia asked, "Guys, did you check him?" Adaha and Samara both replied, "Yes, he is fuckinggg hottt!" We couldn't believe we got his ID. Where is Aria? Why isn't she responding? I asked. "Guysss, I'm dead. I don't know, I'm just cold. He is literally giving me butterflies," Aria said. Nia suggested, "Okay, okay, but let's chat with him and see what he says." Aria worried, "Maybe he won't answer. What if he already has a girlfriend?" Nia acknowledged the possibility but said, "But let's give it a try." Aria agreed, "Okay." We messaged him with a "hey" and the 👀 emoji, and in just a few seconds, we got a reply saying, "Hey, you are the one who made the confession?" "Yes," we replied. "Okay. So?" Umair asked. "So what ? Nia replied. What's the plan ? Asked umair . Nothing, You can go to sleep. Replied nia " We were all in the chat, laughing at this reply. Since we all knew the password, we could access the conversation. He was like, "Okay, see ya." We asked Nia, "Why did you reply that way?" Nia explained, "We shouldn't show too much interest. They'll go to cloud 9. First, we messaged him, and we made the confession, so maybe he's already on cloud 9. So we should talk un interestingly."

Next morning in the college  me, Samara,Nia Aria and adah  spotted Umair from afar near the veg canteen, and we were convinced it was him wearing a white t-shirt. We tried following him, but he disappeared in a matter of seconds! We even texted him about his outfit, and he was shocked, asking how we knew. We didn't give him an answer, though.

Later, around 1:00 PM, we were chilling in the rock garden, you know, one of the many gardens in our college. There's even a mosque nearby for students to pray. Guess who we saw coming out of the mosque? Umair, wearing shoes! We couldn't resist texting him again, " tying your show lace? " and he was so confused, looking around. Nia shouted for us to run, and we bolted out of there, laughing like crazy!

Finally, at 3:00 PM, we were at the cafeteria , craving some choco lava. And guess what? Umair was standing right opposite us with his friends! We were shocked. We waited for our order while his friends stared at us. We were wondering if he had figured out that we were following him. Once our cake was ready, we grabbed it and made our exit.  So, Nia had a plan to confirm if Umair had figured out that we were following him. She asked me and Aria to go back inside the canteen, pretending to buy a water bottle. I was wearing a light green dress, and Aria was in black. As we were leaving, i noticed that Umair and his friends were still there, watching us. I was certain that he knew it was us.

I shared my observation with Nia, and she suggested texting Umair the next day. We asked him if he knew who we all were, and he replied , "Are, you're the gang who was in the canteen yesterday, right?" We asked him to describe us so we can say he is right or not. he mentioned that one person was wearing green, another was wearing black, and one more was wearing pink .? Oh okay yes we were that group  replied nia .Then, we teased him a bit by asking if he could guess which girl in our group confessed about him. After some thinking, he guessed "maybe the one in the black dress" ,  and he was right! But we didn't say anything  leaving him in suspense.
