YOU AND I

YOU AND I (4)

Sofiya

We all were sitting in canteen area , everyone at our table were busy in their talks , but all my attention was focused on the table directly infront of ours
I was intensely staring at nia
I am well aware of the fact that I might look creepy but I was deeply in thought that how she looked different from other days
She was wearing a pink oversized top with white baggy jeans , she always wear baggy clothes and it Actually looks good on her but somehow she looked different today , and I was trying to pinpoint that reason
" You know you look creepy if check out her like this , right?" Tailor wishpered in my ears and
Looked away as soon I glared
" I was not checking her out I" I said returning my sight to the previous point " I was just observing something" I said realising nia was almost finished with her lunch and I haven't even started " yeah , yeah" he said as I took a bite of my sandwich
" Hey , sofiya do you know someone?" Bella asked before I could tell tailor to Fuck off
" What are you talking about?" I asked taking another bite
" You didn't hear , alex is having a test for his photography class for which he has to capture  some majestic and beautiful
Pics " Kevin said as I took in a new piece of information
" And we asked you if you know anyone with sharp and attractive features, so , he can start his work " I would have recommended myself as l love being pictured but alex has already taken our portrait for test in last semester, now , he needs someone new
" You want a male or female model?" Tailor asked " I am actually looking for a female model but with good structured body , I saw some pictures on pinterest and believe they look insanely beautiful " I was thinking about the able candidate for this work, it is hard to find someone photogenic yet with required features " don't worry about it, I will find someone" alex said waving his hand to let it go as I took the last bite of my sandwich " I'll be taking my leave , have a early class " Bell said getting up with her drink in hand , we have same classes and now I realised I have early class too " are you not coming?" She questioned raising her one eyebrow, I took last sip of my drink and got up " ofcourse don't want miss jenna to get hyper" I said and we waved good bye to our friends

I was sitting around pool area waiting for tailor to finish up his practice as he asked me to wait cause he wanted to tell me something but now he is taking too much time, I took a sharp breath in and out to calm myself down , I am not used to waiting for someone and he knows it but still taking advantage of being my bestfriend is what getting on my nerves " hey sofiya, you should not sit around here it's dangerous, you can slip while getting up" nia said still in water getting on the end of pool , her hands holding edges for support and her chest getting up and down from lack of oxygen, she was right it's actually dangerous to sit around pool but I was quite far from the wet area " you should also try to breath , you can faint with lack of oxygen" I said looking away from her , even if she means good, she still can't get on my good books
She was rude to me on our first meet, first impressions is last one
and her was really bad
She took a deep breath, don't know if it was to calm herself down or for following my advice,
Then she again started swimming, disappearing like a mermaid in water , my advice was actually good if she works on it , tailor once told me nia holds her breath to much to increase the speed and she once fainted in pool, it would be useful if she follows it
" I hope I didn't kept you waiting"
Tailor came towards me after getting out of pool " no no , I was just waiting for around 2 hrs not much " I said in sarcastic tone getting up putting my phone in pocket " oh ,then that's fine , I was worried I kept you waiting but it's not too long , right?" I hit him with my bag on side " hey " he backed away and put hands up in surrender " let me change first" he said and I nooded in response

" So , why you wanted to tell me ?" I asked taking a sip of my iced coffee which just arrived, we were sitting in a small restaurant down the street, it's my first time here but tailor said this place quite and perfect for talk
" This coffee is good, right? , someone recommend it to me and it is really peaceful around here" he said exactly not answering what I asked, he has been doing this since we settled in car , first he said to reach the restaurant, then he asked to order first, the he said to try their famous coffee entirely trying to avoid the conversation " I am still waiting for my answer, you know" I said looking directly at him in eyes to encourage him to spek up  but he gulped down his coffee and looked away , " I um-mm , I don't know from where to start " he said looking down, his feet doing the anxiety dance under the table , and thick layer of tension on our table which could be felt from the counter table also , I took a deep breath " you don't have to tell me if you are not ready" I said putting a warm smile on him trying my best to assure him that it's ok " it's not like I am not ready but it's just, I don't know from where to star " he said looking up , hearing him I took some time to restore that this conversation might be really sensitive and serious " I have an idea , if you don't know how to say then let me guess and you tell me if I am right or not" I suggested leaning back on my seat with proud knowing this idea is actually good " that's actually a smart idea " he said as I nooded " then let's start "
I took some time to think before saying
" Is it about swimming?"
" No "
" About family?"
" No "
" About your ex ?"
" No "
" Is it about something which involves feelings?"
" Yes "
He took deep breath saying, this definitely is a sensitive topic
I was about to ask something again when my phone ringed
" Hey , mom "

" YOU IDIOT, HOW CAN YOU FORGET TO PICK UP YOUR LITTLE BROTHER,  his teacher called me , go fast now or I would chop your hands "

Then she cut the call " I have to go " I said taking my phone and running for my car to not face the consequences cause my mom can definitely do , what she says
