This is the beginning of a story where my heart betrayed my mind. His name is Zayn, and we've been classmates for over two years. Initially, I was focused on my studies, determined to excel academically. But Zayn, with his tall frame, tan skin, wide smile, deep voice, and greyish hair, intrigued me. He had a sense of humor that could lighten even the darkest of days.
My attraction to him wasn't something I planned. It just happened, and before I knew it, my feelings were out in the open. Everyone knew I liked him, and it made me feel like an idiot. I wished I could turn back time and keep my emotions hidden. During group projects, I tried my best to stay calm and composed, but inside, I was a mess. I was happy yet felt like a fool, believing that someone like him could never be interested in someone like me.
I saw myself as chubby, with short hair and a tomboyish demeanor. I wasn't the type of girl teenage boys noticed or admired. My focus was on my studies and my art, not on having a boyfriend. But every time I saw Zayn in class, my heart skipped a beat, and I felt a surge of motivation.
When we graduated, Zayn went abroad, and I accepted it without much fuss. I never harbored dreams of him being my boyfriend. I imagined us as friends, nothing more. Life moved on, and so did I.
Then, life threw us together again at university. We were in different majors, but our dormitories were nearby. I would occasionally see him around campus. Zayn had a girlfriend by then, and it was clear that I was never his type. It stung, but it was a reality check I needed.
Despite my feelings, I took a step back to focus on my own life. Zayn continued on his path, and I carved out my own. It was a lesson in unrequited love, in understanding that some people are meant to cross our paths without staying. It was a bittersweet realization, but one that shaped me.
This is my story—a tale of unspoken emotions, missed opportunities, and the journey of moving forward. It's a reminder that even when things don't go as we hope, life has a way of leading us where we need to be.
