19. Confused Feelings

Inaya's POV

One week. A whole week has passed since rayan's confession and me trying to avoid him. Why? Because i'm stupid. After he said those words, i felt like i lost all my ability of thinking straight. It was very unexpected and sudden for me that i didn't even knew how to react to it.

Flashback:

"I like you..alot" his words were so unexpected that i was frozen to the ground.

The smile on my face fell off as i tried to comprehend what he just said.

He... likes me? Me..!?

I didn't knew how to response to his confession as i wasn't expecting this at all today. I just stood frozen, my feet stuck to the ground as i watched him with my wide eyes.

He must've noticed as he said "Uhm.. you don't have to answer now i'll wait as long as you want."

But my mind was still stuck to those three words,

"I like you"

Just when i thought of finally answering him i got interrupted as our friends came and the girls took me with them to take pictures. I glanced back at him and he gave me a assuring smile.

End of flashback

From then, i kept avoiding rayan. Whenever our eyes met i looked away or whenever he tried to talk to me i acted like i was busy and left abruptly.

I don't even know why am i acting like this. I feel so dumb and bad thst I'm avoiding him but what can i do? It's just too hard for me to process. I'm confused about my own feelings. I don't even know if i have feelings for him or not? I mean i did have a crush on him when we first met but i'm not sure if it's something more or not.

As i said before that i'm not into casual relationships. I want to save all the things for the right person. The one with who i'll spend the rest of my life.

"Ughhh" i groaned as i ran a hand through my hair. I was in an empty class pretending to do an assignment so i could avoiding meeting him.

I was lost in trying to clear my thoughts that i didn't even notice someone coming in. It was then when that person stood infront of me and asked

"Hey what are you doing here?" i looked up and saw that person was adnan.

"Uhm work..." i said nervously.

He sat besides me and said in a serious tone "ok you've been acting weird for a whole week now"

"Weird how?"

"You always avoid meeting us whenever we are free and even during breaks!"

"I-i.. uh.. n-no" i face palmed myself mentally.

"Ok will you tell me something..?" i asked after deciding for a moment.

"Yeah sure" he replied.

"How..do you know if you like someone?" i bit my lips as he processed my words.

"Ahh that's easy. If you like someone you think about them alot. You feel safe and comfortable around them. You want to spend more and more time with them. You want to see them happy and maybe tease a little too. You get those butterflies around them. You want to always see them and listen to them talk. You start to cherish even the simple moments with them." he had a small smile on his face as he described.

I processed his words. Do i feel safe around rayan? Yes. Do i want to spend more time with him? Yes. Do i get butterflies around him? Definitely yes. Maybe..maybe i like him too..? But if i do then why is there still a maybe..?

I returned my attention towards adnan and it seemed like as if he was daydreaming.

"You're talking like as if you like someone yourself" i said that just to bring his attention back but got more curious by his response.

"Perhaps i do" he still had a smile on his face and his ears turned a little red.

"So you do.. tell me who is it?" i smirked as he was now blushing totally.

"Uhm.. you know her.. actually really well" he answered to which i frowned. Who is that girl he likes and i know her too?

"Ok i'll tell you but promise me you won't tell anyone" he said after he saw that i was struggling on guessing. I nodded and waited for him to tell.

"It's... Eman" he said rubbing his neck and for a moment i couldn't believe my ears. Did he just said Eman?

"Uhh you mean..my bestie eman?" i asked sceptically and he nodded.

"YOU LIKE EMAN..!!?"

OMG! But how is it even possible? I thought they both hated each other. Or only Eman. But still he like likes her? Omg what will be her reaction? She'd probably kill him right..

"Shhh do you want to tell whole college by yelling like this?" adnan whispered but i was too shook and excited by this information.

"You're telling me you like my bestie and you don't expect me to tell her..!?" like we girls share everything and just can't hide anything so how is it possible for me to hide such a big thing from her!?

"NO! You promised me so you can't tell her. I mean i will tell her eventually when i'm sure that she wouldn't kill me" i laughed as it was true.

"Ok i'll try.."

"Also you have to help me win her heart!" he exclaimed and i agreed even though that's going to be a hard task.

"Ok enough of me.. tell me why were you asking the question before?"

"Uhh woh toh bas waise hi" i replied nervously.

"Or maybe you also like someone?" he squinted his eyes.

"W-what n-no" i scolded myself for stuttering.

"Oh really.." he raised his eyebrows and i nodded nervously.

"As you say.. but remember if you do like someone you should not let them go unless you want to regret later" and with that he left, leaving me confused.
