Waste It On Me

"Karan."

"No Tejasswi," I answered before she could say anything. She laughed, "Dude, I was taking attendance." I realized and looked around. Ah, it was embarrassing.

Everyone laughed and I went back to my work. This woman was messing with my brain and it wasn't a nice thing. I knew what I had to do with my life, and losing my brains for somebody was not in the checklist.

I schooled my thoughts against the distraction and kept doing my work. Tejasswi always laughed at me when she saw me, the hurt visible in her eyes but her face trying to be deceiving. As much as you try being deceptive, your eyes were clearly visible to me.

Those black cat eyes tried hard to not show how hurt she was. I felt bad for hurting her, but she was the only competition I had and there can be no other emotions for her except for the hate. Call it blocking, call it madness, call me psycho.

Maybe I really was a psycho.

Today was the last day of the semester, and tomorrow our exams started. I was all prepared. Our Java exam was about to be taken for a hundred marks and it was exciting.

I am hurting you for your own good, Tejasswi. I spoke without words. She didn't deserve the rudeness, but that was the only way to make her realize I was not in love with her.

I was not in love with her, even if she was the only thing on my mind.
I was not in love with her, even if I kept checking if she was fine.
I was not in love with Tejasswi, even if her black cat eyes were captivating.

I finished the classes and went home. I made sure to not meet her in the exams, I could not afford any distraction in between my academic scores. I needed to score the best. I needed to be the best.

The last exam was Java, it was an online exam and everyone had to sit with their own batches. Something which was not a good thing for me. I entered the exam hall and the first face I saw was hers.

"All the best, Karan." She smiled at me again. Finding a seat for herself, she sat down and opened her laptop. I found a seat in another row, a little behind hers. I could see her bright wallpaper, this woman was too excited.

The exam started and everything else left my mind. I worked on my codes and finished the exam in thirty minutes. It was a 2 hour exam but the questions were all the ones I had practiced and I was already good at it. I asked if I could leave and they permitted me. I reached outside and gulped down some water.

"I will score a hundred." I heard the silvery voice shout excitedly. I narrowed my eyes as she came towards me. "You'll obviously score a hundred."

"We'll see," I nodded and she grinned to herself again. Didn't her cheek hurt sometimes? "You are walking till the bus stop?"

"No, flying." I rolled my eyes and she chuckled. "Dude you just tried sarcasm." She informed me and laughed again. Hey I know I was being sarcastic. God she needs help.

"Let's go." She didn't look like she was asking, so I walked behind her silently. She reached the bus stop and turned back at me. "Take care, see you at the Christmas party."

I am not going to the Christmas party. Now if she's going, definitely not. I reached home and sighed.

Tejasswi was crazy to be in love with me. And she was NOT in love with me. It was just an attraction because I helped her. Obviously.

Why am I just thinking about it!? I scolded myself and closed my eyes. It was time to sleep for a few days.

I love you, Karan.
