ENAMOUR LOVE

Chapter 11.

Avoid him.

Simple.

I never thought this would be anything but simple. This is my own destruction. I was trying so hard to avoid his gaze or not to search for him in the crowd but every attempt was in vain.

Our eyes finally met a while ago leaving me breathless, the intensity of his eyes makes it difficult to stand. His piercing dark eyes were burning my body. I tried to chant the word 'avoid him' but it was even more difficult than solving the Math sums.

Today I sat in the corner afraid to roam around. In between 3 or 4 pm the competition of dodgeball will be held till then I'm free.

His heating gaze and the sun rays weren't much different, they were both burning my body leaving me breathless and burning my body. I slowly glanced around in search of him but he wasn't there. Where he might be? Ugh! Why do I care?

My shoulders sagged and my breathing was getting back to normal. I became like those smokers, even after the warning on the damn placket that it's dangerous they still buy and use it. Today I'm doing the same thing even after knowing that he is dangerous for me, I'm still trying to look around searching for a glimpse of him.  

I have no idea what is wrong with me, when he was trying from the morning to just meet my gaze it took a lot of effort to ignore and avoid him but now when he isn't here I started looking around in search of him. He is so confusing and confusing me too.

I closed my eyes and leaned back, previous night cuts were burning like the coal but it's the only way to distract myself from thinking about all of that again.

Sariya tried to talk to me today but I gave some short replies, and tried to avoid her too. I shouldn't have come today, but it's better to be away from the house.

After about half an hour, I was called for the dodgeball. I looked around for the competitors and the entire Sariya gang was there, wasn't she not interested in any of these.

Sir divided the team in two and three of her friends were with me and two of them were on the other team including her.

We took our positions but they were making some plans. It will be easy, I just have to catch the ball or Dodge it. Just like the way I dodge my family's nags.

Finally the game started and on the very first ball I knew I was their target. When wasn't I? It's been more than 10 minutes and my breathings were heavier, and I dodged almost all the balls. Two of them were out and the other 3 friends of her were just chilling.

They are aware that, the ball will not come in their directions. My legs started aching and my head was spinning. I haven't eaten a single bite since the morning, just drank a glass of water. Yeah, it's my fault but I have to burn down the fat.  

The ball was again in my direction but this time I caught it. I looked for their teammates to target and threw it on Sariya's friend. She was eliminated.

It was again my team strike but as I tried to go near and take the ball, someone threw it in my direction and it straight got hit on my face, I stumbled back and there was a whistle blown.

The entire world started spinning around me, they were asking something but all I could hear was the beep sound at the back of my head. Slowly I opened my eyes and looked at the crowd of a few teachers.

They asked me if I was okay and I nodded in response, he then told me to sit but I denied it. I have to play to prove myself, to prove my worth and that I'm capable of something.

We got back to our positions, and I closed my eyes tightly for a few minutes as I felt like I might collapse at any second now. The sound of the whistle echoed in the air and I opened my eyes, bracing myself up.
