CHAPTER 16

ALICE:

The constant thought of that black mysterious guy has driven me crazy, whenever I see some guy wearing black and I immediately remember him.

I just met him once and found myself weirdly attracted to him. Now that my friends know that I work, there's nothing wrong in hiding from them. But I should never tell them about this guy as they all have an image of mine who's never been in love types and doesn't have a boyfriend. That's entirely my wish.

Forget about that. I was constantly thinking of that night. For some of them, this is totally meaningless as they have experienced higher degrees of romance, I am just a kid in these things and I have much more to see and to experience. For me this is equal to many things, this is equal to the feeling experienced by an average student who has scored first rank in his examinations and much more.

As I was thinking of this guy, I collided with Dan. And the floor was wet. My leg got skid and I fell into his arms. The grip was somewhat experienced kind of thing. I felt as if someone has held me like this before, of course the black, mysterious guy whom I collided with the night 2 days before. It was all reinterpreted, kind of déjà vu moment. That guy had helmet. This one didn't have one. For the first time, I looked into his eyes and I was kinda lost into it.

I considered him as my good friend, but I never saw him this near and to be honest, I was lost into them, the dark, black and mesmerizing shape of eyes.

And the bell rang, breaking our so called saving moment. And thankfully no one was there.

There was a weird silence amongst us-

"Thanks Man."

"You're welcome. Are you alright?"

"Yes"

"Where were you lost, from past few days you are behaving too weird? Is everything alright?"

"Yes I am."

I had to lie as I am not alright, because this black guy had conquered my heart and I didn't want to share him with anyone out there.

We left.

But I felt really strange after all happened today. I mean, I find myself strangely inclined to Dan and it's all going with the flow. His dark eyes and the grip which he held on to me, it got some shivers inside me.

Shit AL! You are a real Wally, Dan was right. Why are you comparing two different people who had no relation whatsoever?

All these days, the bond what we shared has gradually transitioned. From sworn enemies to good friends and maybe more than that, being with him makes me feel good and I like being with him.

The next day was the annual day of Angel Grove high and it was a day full of everything, sports, dance, cultural activities etc. much like a carnival

We had our slots for the sports thing and evening party. Evening party, I am pretty sure, the girls are gonna flaunt their waxed legs and hands and try looking hot.

I decided myself not to be too flashy and so I chose my favorite purple evening dress. That's the only evening dress I have for party occasions and other things.
