Stay (on hold)

The letter

It was probably nothing

But trust me.....

It felt like the world.

He walked towards his classroom with his brothers by his side. Joe was a year elder to him and was the most popular boy in the college. Obviously! Who wouldn't love the captain of the basketball team. Nick was an instant superstar in the college, since he was Kevin and Joe's brother. He liked the feeling. The feeling of power, superiority and love.
The word love only reminded him of those blue eyes he saw that morning. Only thing he wished for was to see her again. He could stare at her face for ages and never get tired.
'Snap out of it Nick!' He heard Kevin's voice bringing him back to reality.
He looked at his brother with the most innocent expression anyone could ever give. (Imagine how cute he would've looked! Awwww..)
'Oh my God Joe!' Kevin laughed 'He sure is smitten'
Nick knew they were right, but he was never going to accept it in front of them. His ego was as fat as his biceps. (Lol!!!)
'Whatever ' he said and walked into the classroom. He looked all over, trying to find a seat for himself and then his eyes landed upon something he longed to see. She sat in the last bench, her eyes glued upon the book she was reading, probably a novel. He observed that the seat beside her was empty. How could he miss out on this?
He sat down beside her, trying his best not to look at her. He didn't want to look creepy or desperate.
It was so weird, he fell for a girl and doesn't even know her name. He made a mental note to try talking to her atleast once before the class ends.
He pulled out his books and tried concentrating on what the teacher was saying but his mind always drifted back to the lady beside him. He had to make a move.
'You can do this' he told himself as he scribbled a hello note to the girl.
'Psst' he whispered, that made her turn towards him. Once again brown met blue. He could spend his entire life just staring at those blue orbs. She clapped her hands silently to snap him out of the trance.
'Oh sorry!' Nick replied with a jerk 'I just zoned out.' He handed her the letter and ran his hand through his curls, this made her giggle. He looked at her in awe. Her laugh was probably the best thing he ever heard. She looked at him and handed back the note. He was desperate to talk to her. He opened the note to find a cute little smiley face drawn just beside his hi, followed by a simple 'Yo!'. He smiled at her reply. 'I'm Nick' he wrote back and passed it to her. This time, he didn't make any eye contact. He dint want to look like a dumb dog that sleeps with its eyes open. She smiled at his handwriting and wrote her own name in to the paper. Nick unfolded the paper so fast that he would've won an award if it was a competition.
'That's a good name.' She wrote
'I'm Miley' she drew another smiley just beside her name and somehow it looked cute.
Nick was about to pass the letter back to her but the teacher caught him.
'Mr. Jonas is there something you would like to share?" She asked through her half moon spectacles.
'No ma'am.' Nick replied looking down. He heard the same laugh again. He couldn't help but smile. He knew he broke the ice and he didn't feel so good in years. All through the class, he thought what he was going to tell her. He wanted to talk to her so bad. He wanted to hear her laugh, the laugh that stole his heart. He can't deny it anymore. He was in love with the girl. He was in love with Miley.
The class finally came to an end. Miley was still glued to her book.
She loves reading he told himself.
"Miley " he called her sheepishly. She looked up staring right into his eyes. Here we go again. He was lost in those eyes.
She gave another giggle and clapped, snapping him back to reality.
'Sorry' he looked down blushing. Miley couldn't help but smile, looking at him.
'Why do you keep doing that?' She asked him.
Her voice sounded so angelic.
'Doin what?' He asked sheepishly.
'You keep zoning out whenever you see me.' She giggled. Only he knew how much he loved that laugh.
'I don't know ' he blushed again. 'It's just-' he trailed off as he looked into her eyes. They were full of life, full of emotion.
'You've got pretty eyes.' He blurted out. He didn't know if it was the right thing to say, but he couldn't hold it any longer. He looked at the girl only to find her cheeks turn red. He understood she liked the compliment.
'Thanks' that was all she could say. Nick wanted to talk more. He could never get enough of that laugh. Just when he opened his mouth to talk again, his brothers barged in. Both with the same goofy smile on their faces.
'Oh Nick' Joe spoke first 'Knew you were gonna be here.' Nick shot a death glare in his way which made a the girl giggle again. The laugh was enough to turn the boys' attention towards her.
'Oh hey' Joe waved at Miley 'I'm Joe and that's Kevin' Joe said as he shook her hand. Nick could feel the jealousy rise in his body as he never got an opportunity to touch her hands.
'I'm Miley' she replied with a genuine smile on her face.
She looked so pretty Nick though.
'Well' Joe continued 'Nick's couldn't stop talking about you after this morning'
Nick knew this was turning bad.
"No I haven't " he spoke up for himself and Miley just smiled bigger.
"All Mathykepappy could talk about was how wonderful you are while you play the piano."
"Not true" he defended himself again and shot a death glare toward his brothers.
Nick took a deep breath and spoke up "I apologise for their juvenile behaviour."
"Hey, I can apologise for my own juvenile behaviour. Thank you." Kevin spoke up as Joe nodded. Miley kept staring at the three boys standing in front of her and broke into laughter. Nick just kept looking at her in awe as she laughed.
'You've got amazing brothers Nicky." She spoke through her laugh and walked out the room.
"I thought you didn't like people calling you Nicky" Joe asked putting up a larger smirk.
"I don't." Nick smiled "But when she said it was cute."
"Ooooohhhhhh " Joe and Kevin teased him in unison.
"Little Mathkeppappy is falling hard for someone." Kevin shouted and broke into a laughter along with Joe.
