The Virgin

Fun time

I wondered what to do?

Going home sounded like a great idea, but I wanted to share my feelings with someone.

Who will listen to me?

So going home was the only option left.

I reached home, got into my night dress and sat on the bed.
I tossed and turned and tried to fall asleep but I couldn't, it was too early.
And the scene of Derek insulting me kept playing again and again.

Then suddenly I thought of Micheal.
I owed him a treat.

I didn't have his number. But I wasn't going to give up easily.

I wondered where to get it from?
Then I remembered. Blake Tessler.
He was an another guy from our class, his interest was in gadgets so he hardly lifted his face from his mobile.
He was also an introvert but once he had to collect everyone's numbers to send an important message directed from the teacher, so he must have Micheal's number.
I called him.

In less than five minutes I had his number.
I typed it on the keypad and thought for the final time.
Should I do this? It was getting late and I was calling him because I needed to talk. Was I being selfish?
What if he wasn't free?
Or what if he doesn't like talking to me?
What if he takes this in a wrong sense?

Shhh...I scolded myself.
I was definitely overthinking.
I pressed CALL....
"Hello" he picked up.

"Hey Micheal" I said.

"Who is this?" he asked.

"Didn't recognise me?" I asked.

He thought and then said "Nope. Who are you?"

"I am Becky." I said.

"Oh hello Becky. Sorry, I am very bad at such things" he said.

"It's okay. Hey, would you like to meet right now? I mean if we could go out." I asked.

"Now? It is too late." He said.

"I know Micheal but I will tell you the truth. I am feeling devastated and I need someone to talk to. Please...." I said in a sweet voice.

"I am sorry, I didn't know. Where should we go?" he asked me.

"How about a movie?"

"Yeah of course, I will be there in ten minutes. Where do you live?" he asked and I gave him the directions to my place.

Then I wore a pair of faded rugged jeans and a black top.
The clothes that suit me the best.

I wouldn't call it 'a date', I mean we didn't even know each other.

Soon he was at my doorstep and I got into his car.

"What happened?" he asked and drove away.

Only then, my phone rang.
It was Melly.

"It's okay, you can pick" he said and looked back on the road.

"It can wait." I said and switched off the phone.

"So... as I was saying. What do you do if you like somebody and they don't like you back?" I asked and looked at him.

"Well....I would throw a pie on their face and ask how was that?" Micheal smiled and said.

"I am serious Micheal." I said.

"Hmm....Okay. What happened?" he asked.

"Do you know this guy...Derek?" I asked.

"Yep" he answered.

"I had a crush on him and Melly asked me to go on a date with him. I agreed and got the position of the head cheerleader so that he would notice me. But today at Cooper's party, I talked to him for the first time and he insulted me. He is such an asshole. I did so much for him." I said.

Micheal listened carefully and said "He isn't the only guy left on this Earth."

"Yes, but I like him. I like him from head to toe. What do you think Shasha has and I don't?" I asked.

"Becky. You deserve better. I promise one day you will find someone worthy. Common, now don't you be angry." He said.

I smiled.

We reached the multiplex and opted for the movie MOANA.
It was a wonderful movie.
Animation was my all time favorite.

After 2 hours, we were in the car again.
We chatted and enjoyed throughout. I almost forgot the incident that took place a few hours ago.

"You make a great company, Micheal" I laughed and said.

"You too." He said.

"You are like my brother. I always wanted a brother." I said.

"Is it?" he shot his eyebrows.

"Ahaan..." I replied.

Soon we reached my place and it was time to say bye bye.
