✨ENJOY READING ✨

"I don't have a chance but why did I even fall for her?"

Vihaan POV

Where..? Is she..?
"What happened? Looking for her?" Dhruv asked me, knowing it very well that yes, I was looking for her.
"No." I lied. Why do I even say about her now. She is actually so magical. And everyone's eyes are on her when she's around. But her eyes never look at me..
Nuts.. you're going nuts, Vihaan. She's a crush of yours and not girlfriend, doesn't matter if she's taken or single, crushing on someone or isn't because she is your crush and sometimes it's okay to face these situations.
She passed by..
Ohh.

SHE PASSED BY ME!!
But.. why was her friend not looking at me unlike others? None of her friends exist who don't know about me having a crush on Leichan. But Leichan..? She told her friends or she was told by her friends? Anyways.

We walked into the classroom and Luhan was sitting alone..
As usual. I actually don't want him to be alone but he never tries to mingle with us. And we wouldn't force him to be with the people he doesn't want. I don't know if it's his attitude or shyness.. waise uske paas 'shyness' nahi hai. Well he doesn't has 'shyness' It's grumpiness and attitude he has.

Somehow, sometimes we try talking like I am about to..
"Hey?.." Dhruv said before I could.
He didn't even look at us. Jer-
"Hey Dhruv? Go closer" I whispered slowly as Luhan wasn't looking at us. And he nodded at what I said. I should go..? I guess yeah.
"Hey Luhan?" We both are confused with his name. What is it actually.? Luhan, I guess. Or is it something else? My brain isn't working well enough for these things.
"Hm?" He asked for continuation of what we have to say by humming with his deep voice.
"Nothing much.. why are you sitting here alone when we have art class?" Dhruv asked.
"I find it boring." He replied straight. I hate how he's avoiding eye contact between us while talking. Why, and for what is this attitude? Huh.
"But the teacher marks attendance of students and reports it to the class teacher." Dhruv said, because I hate talking to people I don't know a thing about.
"Okay, thank you. I'll be there" He said. And we three took our materials out of the mini cupboards. And I drank some water before going out of the class. I saw Dhruv and Luhan waiting for me. I walked towards them and we then walked to the art room.
On the way I saw Leichan. She was talking to some guy. I didn't knew she had guy friends but that too from other classes. It's.. is it someone she likes or that someone likes her? I don't know whether I like questioning myself or torturing myself with these questions. But these always left me puzzled and are unanswered. I must admit there are no one who can answer these dumb questions, and that is why they are unanswered, no doubt.

"Why are you late?!" The teacher yelled at us as we were entering the room without permission. My manners have vanished so that's understandable why I got scolded and yelled by her. We stood at the door and didn't answer her question.
"Huh?! Why are coming whenever you want to?! Why?!" She yelled again. Her face. I'm sorry she's so hilarious and gutsy to make that face. "Come in!" She yelled again and this time her voice cracked badly, I somehow tried controlling my laugh but couldn't completely help it so I smiled. I went to the back where seats were available and Luhan was already sitting on the first chair of the last row and we sat next to him.
Suddenly we all heard vibration of something, the teacher's phone was vibrating. She picked up the call and answered going a little away from the board to avoid the noise of the class. She looked at us again before saying, "I'll be back in few minutes," she said after ending the call she just received. "Monitors, take care of the class." She said and went outside the class.
"Sit down" the monitor yelled at a guy standing.
Anyways.. "Ay, Dhriti??" I called. "What??" She looked at me and Dhruv. "What assignment has she given though?"
"She has asked us to sit and complete the sketch" she raised her chin towards the blackboard.
"Ohh okay!" I replied.

I turned to Dhruv who was sitting with a 'why jerk?!' face. I asked him "What..? Happened..?"
"What happened..? Nothing. Complete your sketch and don't disturb me." He said not really interested to tell me what happened or what's going on in his mind.
"I wouldn't disturb." I replied firmly. I continued drawing or sketching whatever it was. I am so confused about this drawing, or sketch I say.
Stroke.
Stroke.
Perfect.

The hairs of this sketch looks so pretty. Just like SHE is. And her face.. this needs a little improvement, I need to re-draw this. I hope this sketch turns out good without any model, how I wish she would be here as my model for the sketch. I think, it's good enough because I can only remember the glimpses of her. She is so pretty, even in my mind.
She has been with me, inside my mind ever since she has come in my sight. I could never ever take my eyes off, she is so breathtaking, that her beauty's description lacks every word that means very pretty.

I completed the sketch finally, my thoughts are just never ending. The sketch looks very... awful. I can't help my drawing skills, but she looks pretty anyways. I was looking out of the window when I noticed that Luhan was looking at my sketch so I took another glimpse of the completed sketch and I found it so terrible that I flipped the book. I turned towards the blackboard when I noticed all the drawings one by one.
Cartoons, which includes the drawing of Mr. Bean, Doraemon and Shinchan. Then a design, coloured with chalk. A scenery. Then the assignment we were given.. the teacher sketched a little boy who looked mesmerized by something. I wonder what she has thought when she was sketching this.

The monitor got up and they both said to the girls and boys respectively according to their jobs "Go to the class without roaming around and have lunch." Our guy monitor said calmly and went outside of the class.

Meanwhile I heard the girl's monitor yell "Don't you all go roaming for no reason. And have lunch outside." And soon I stepped out of the class and started wearing my shoes. I must say these days life feels so right.

«»«»«»«»

I was sitting on my chair checking my phone with one hand and caressing my wet hairs with the other hand. I checked for the messages. She hasn't replied to any messages of mine but seems like she's online. I checked for her story which had text 'This is what love feels like:'

Wait- she's in love.?? But how? Does she like someone? My heart is wanting that person to be me.

She replied.
You don't know what you've been waiting for. Her text said.

What do you mean?
I texted back being confused because what she's talking about? I can't get a perfect grasp of it.

...I mean, you've been waiting for me to like you back right? Her text appeared.
Hmm yeah..?
I replied not really wanting to tell her the truth.
But I believe you don't deserve me and I won't ever like you. Her text again, making my heart shatter, and the pieces are scattering.

I have some work I will talk to you later.
I couldn't help my feelings drown deeper into the ocean of torment.
She is "never" going to like me, it didn't affect me before whether she likes me or not but now why does it hurt me when she says that she doesn't like me. I thought there was a hope but now.. I can't.

I must focus on things which are possible.

"Because.. some people fall in love with the wrong people sometimes."
