The Niche

A Good Day

When I reached home catching a ride with one of my classmate's parent I found that nobody was home, nothing new.

I ran to my room and slumped on my bed like a bag of rice. I just lay there and looked up to the ceiling, it felt like I just laid there, looking up, empty, when I received a text from Tushar.

I opened it and started reading it, it was a long one.

"Sorry for today kim I didn't mean to push myself on you I am really sorry. Today was just amazing I won the game and you were also looking really pretty and more than that you appeared in front of me when I needed you. I was really tensed and when I saw you I just couldn't stop myself. Sorry really! Please reply soon"

Hmm he is really regretting his actions. Well good because he should. I thought the whole situation over while the classmate's parents were complaining about the hooligans we have in our school. I came to the solution that really I am not alright with the idea of him kissing me. I mean he is nice and I like him but...I don't want to, kissing is gross.

I also had questions with the fact that I should tell this to anyone or not. This is not a bid deal though, we are dating and girls do expect these things.

But I imagined my first kiss with Dhruv at all times. If I really want to be sure about this today I should drop the 'what are we?' question.

After re-reading the message a couple of times I replied with assurance that it is fine.

"It happens" I wrote.

The Beyonce lover side of me wanted to say that boy of course you could not control yourself you see man I am flawless.

But I thought against it.

I texted Vedika, who was exploding my phone with texts, that I was fine, at home and was watching sappy movies.

I put my plan into action and took Harry Styles pillow in my arms and put 'Safe Haven' on play.

Nicholas Sparks is my bae.

I was watching it when another text came to my phone, it was from Dhruv.

Okay now I can sit back and look confuse and eat some ice-cream along with it.

Why is he texting me? Does he need something?

I need to get prepped for this text, I need my lucky charmer with me also I should get all the forces lined up, what do I wear though? Is there some popcorn on my teeth?

"must not shake, must not shake" I hummed to myself.

This guy is the most unpredictable human being I have ever seen.

I looked at the text with my heart in my throat it said:

"Thanks for today! It was awesome!"

Why is he thanking me again?

After seeing the text my inner tornado was calmed down a bit.

Oh yes I cheered him when everyone was not even acknowledging him.

I smiled and replied:

"Welcome man! It is okay"

How many 'it is okay' I am going to say today?

"So... all is right in the paradise?" he texted back

What paradise was he talking about, my brain wandered for a second and then I thought yes he is talking about me and Tushar.

"Yes" I texted back with a silly face.

I wanted to clear that there is no such paradise just yet but I thought not to.
