"It's been a week since I last saw Arjun. He's been absent from school for four days now, supposedly down with the flu. I've missed our playful banter, our constant bickering. It's strange how quickly someone can become a part of your routine, even if they're a pain in the neck. His attitude towards me has changed... I mean he was always teasing me, always trying to get a rise out of me but now he's... different. More subdued, more thoughtful. It's like he's been observing me, studying me, trying to figure me out. and that's CREEPY. " This is exactly what I told Nyra .
She listened but she smirked. "WHAT WAS THAT SMIRK FOR BITCH"
'Child, your falling in love' Nisha said while pinching my arms playfully
'Oh please. I'd never. Rohan's the besssst'
"I'm not sure how I feel about it. Part of me finds it flattering, the attention, the fact that he's taken the time to notice me. But another part of me is wary, hesitant to let myself get too close. "
Nyra listened sympathetically while Kiara stood beside me disappointed, as if she wanted to hear something like "OH MY GOD GUYS! I THINK I LIKE ARJUN"
I don't think I have a crush on him, not really. It's just friendship A comfortable, easygoing friendship. No strings attached.
Maybe I'm just overthinking things. Maybe I'm looking for something more when it's really just a simple connection. But as I wait for him to return to school, a strange flutter in my stomach tells me that maybe, just maybe, this friendship is something more. But I hope its not reader. If it is then I'll spontaneously combust!!
