A GIRL IN MY DREAMS

PROLOGUE

AT RECESS

' Hell No!! ' she exclaimed. We drifted through the corridor with a pen in my hand.

' You ought to tell me today, what you want to tell, or I would not talk to you for your whole life Yash !! ' she said.

' No don't do that, okay I'm sorry, I'll tell you '.

Girls usually get curious if we keep hanging them to a serious topic.

' I can't ', I said.

' What ? '

' I can't tell you ! '

' Why ? What have I done ?? Come on Yash !! What is the thing that you want to tell but you can't ? 5 weeks, you have been saying the same thing..!! '

I took out a old, wrinkled loosened paper from my pocket. I unfolded it and wrote 45th tally mark, by making a diagonal all over the 4 strings.

' Hey ! Are you listening me ?? What the hell are you doing with that paper ? I've asked you something!!! '

' You know what your eyes, they just hypnotise me and I..I...just keep looking at them...I can't tell !!', I said.

' Oh! So should I put my eyes down ? Like this ?'

She moved her head downwards. I patted on her shoulders and said, ' No need of that Anu ! ', her name was Ananya.

' What do you mean by that ? Huh ?' She snatched the paper out of my hand.

' What are these tally marks for ? Are these number of kisses you had with your girlfriend ? Huh? Ahem..Ahem!! ' . She laughed giving me a small tap on my back.

I could have told her , you are my girlfriend...you are everything to me. And yeah I could've kissed you that many times...I was thinking !!

She snapped her finger in front of my eyes and said,' What are you dreaming ranger ? Kisses?? '

She laughed so beautifully that I could watch her do that for 3-long hours instead of watching a movie. The bell ranged, she said me ' Bye ' with a charming smile on her face. I too waved my hand feeling when tomorrow's break will come.

IN CLASS

Well we had two upcoming Maths lectures!! It was like two missiles were exploded in our class and its effect remained for 2 hours!

' Got something in your head ? ', I whispered in my partner's ear.

Ravi was my classmate, bestiee, secret-holder! etc..

' Nothing bro solving some of the JEE problems..'

' Are you insane, leave that ! ', I snatched the hard-bounded, blue coloured textbook from his hand.

' Okay, now what ? ', he said. I always used to snatch his books !

' Can you help me ? ', I said.

' With what ? '

' With... ', I said as I moved my eyes towards her.

' Really ?? Not again Yash ! ', he said that giving an obnoxious smile.

He was a guide or like a love-mentor. I used to take advices from him, on how to propose a girl without getting 'No' as a reply!! He had helped many so I thought he could help me with it.

' Yeah, really..', I shook my head as I said that.

' I said you before Yash, she has one...Why don't you agree with that bro ? '

' Yeah, I know I'm trying hard....one day I will succeed!! See I've written a poem for her:

IT WAS ONCE WHEN I

SAW YOU TALK WITH THAT GUY

AND I WAS WAITING

FOR THE MOMENT WHEN YOU SAY HIM GOODBYE !!

I showed him this with a grin.

' Wow ', he exclaimed.

The teacher saw us talking. She came with the chalked hand, wearing those broad rimmed spectacles.

Indignantly she shouted at both us, " What the hell are you doing in my lecture?? Get up!! she shouted again. I dropped the pen on the lining of the desk, and we both stood up.

Tempestuously she, took the book of poem.

" Everyone in the class stared at us as if we were some kind of criminals and soon we would be hanged to death!! "

She read the lines and gave a disturbing grin. I knew that kind of smile, I knew something worse was going to happen, some kind of storm was approaching us in which our sails would get submerged...

She exclaimed," Everyone look at here ".

Even the nerds which used to study, in free periods, breaks, overnights, also which were still studying at that moment, stopped and started looking at us.

She narrated all the poetries which I have been writing since a long time to impress my so called girlfriend. Everyone, laughed as if they have been in some kind of circus and were about to die laughing.

I felt bad. She gave me a warning not to do this in her lecture or she would take some kind of serious action.

The next 3 lectures were over!! Finally.

It was boredom watching Ananya, I wanted to talk with her...

' Hey !! ', she said walking down the spaces between the benches.

I gazed at her madly. Her eyes were the most beautiful things in the world, they used to mesmerize me..

' Hello ! ', I said.

No one was there, except me and her. Everyone were out of the class except her friends which were waiting for her.

' So, the poems...Huh, you write good, maybe someday you will write for me, and become a writer like JK.Rowling....etc ', she said as he sat the bench.

' Yeah...yeah, why not ? Sure I would love to. I think I'll make one '.

' Ananya ', one of her friends called her.

' Coming ', she said.

' We'll talk tomorrow, Bye Yash!! ', she said and went with her friends.

I shouted ' Bye '.

She looked at me and gave me a 2 sec stare. I wanted that. And then I went through the corridor, walking, only with voices of my shoes.
