I woke up; and for few seconds could not make out where I was. I looked around dreamily while I could feel something hard under my right cheek.
To my shock, that hard thing on which my head rested, turned out to be his shoulder!!!
I could feel my cheeks turning hot! He smiled.
HE: Good that you are awake. We are about to reach.
**What? Already?**
ME: Umm.. sorry.. I did not know, when I slept...HE: It's okay! You must have been very tired.
He stood up and I followed him.
We both got down the bus. I tried to get my bag back from him.
HE: Wait! What is the hurry?
ME: But we have to go home.
HE: Yes. We will.
ME: So...
I waited for him to return my bag. Instead he was still clinging to it.
HE: You want to stay here whole night?
ME: It is me who has to ask that!
HE: Then what are you waiting for? Come on! Show the way.
ME: Where?
HE: To your house! Where else do you want to go?
ME: Why should I show you the way?
HE: Okay. Then you go ahead
He sighed.ME: My bag?
HE: I will give it! I have no interest in it.
ME: Then why are you still holding it?
HE: Okay fine! Take your great treasure.
He pushed it into my hands irritated.
ME: Bye!
HE: Already!?
ME: Hmm!
I turned around and started walking home.
But he started following me!ME: Now why are you following me?
HE: You are ill! It is my responsibility to take care of my friend!
**I got butterflies in my stomach! But why?**
ME: It is late! I think you should go home. I am fine.
HE: No! I am coming with you.
ME: People will be waiting for you at home.
HE: No big deal. They know nothing can harm me.
ME: But they will worry.
HE: YOU seem to be more worried.
**What? What does he mean?**ME: Why should I be worried about you?
HE: So you don't?
ME: May be a little bit!
HE: That's all?
He gave a childish scowl..**He looked so cute!!! Just like an angry baby!!**
ME: Okay! I am worried about you.
HE: Really! So chweet of you!
He clapped and said like a 3 year old.**Awwww!! How sweet! I wanted to pinch his cheeks..**
A thunder snapped me out of it. **What was I thinking!???**ME: Don't change the topic.
Why are you following me?HE: I think I answered that.
ME: But I am fine! Go home.
HE: Not until I make sure you reach home safe.
ME: But..
HE: See; it is about to rain and if you want me get drenched in it and suffer from a flu or something, keep arguing.
He seemed determined! I had no option but to let him escort me to my home.
On my way I suddenly stepped on a loose stone of pavement and twisted my left ankle.
As a reflex, to keep me from falling; I tried to grab something nearby. At the same time; a hand grabbed my shoulder. **God! He was fast!** He saved me from falling.
He was looking down at me with a grin and I smiled back at him. His grip of my shoulder loosened. But he was still standing close to me. **I wonder why?**
I tried to take a step but it hurt! Whatever I was holding; I tightened my hold.HE: Ouch!
Then I realised my hand around his waist!!!!
My cheeks turned red!ME: Sorry!
I immediately pulled away my hand.
HE: It's ok!
He smiled.
Rest of our journey was silent. As if irritated by our awkward situation, clouds started growling with thunders.ME: We reached.
I pointed towards my house.
HE: Bye! Good night!
I started moving towards the door when he called...
HE: Radha!
**He called my name! And it sounded so good when he called!**
I turned back. He signalled me to get closer as if trying to tell me a secret.
My heart started thumping hard. **What was he going to tell?**
His face got closer and I could feel his breath on my neck. It tickeled!HE: Contact me if you need lessons on 'How to walk without falling'.
It took me a second to realise that he was humiliating me!
My cheeks became red. He gave an evil smirk. I punched his arm and ran to my door. I could hear him laughing behind me.
My mom opened the door a few seconds later.
I turned back to introduce him to her.
But there was no one there.MOM: What is that? Is anyone there?
ME: No... nothing.
I went inside the house and locked the door. I told my parents that I was not well and needed some rest.
After dinner, I went to my room and got ready for bed.I closed my eyes.
I saw his face!!!!
I realised there was a smile on my face.
**Why did I get a strange feeling when he said he cared for me? Why was I so excited to hear him call my name? Why was I nervous when he got closer to me? Is this all a part of friendship? I didn't know! I never had a friend like him before.**
I hoped to get an answer for my questions soon!
