One week passed after that and Mr.James finally told us  about the news he was talking about.melissah was righT.they were planning for a camping trip near the bank of river.everybody became so excited for the trip.it was a one week trip (too long .. isn't it?).

I was busy packing for trip when my phone rang.

*Message Beep*

Jian yao: is it allowed to swim there? Should I pack my swim suit too?

Yoon wo: who would swim in such a cold weather.you need to pack your brain too 😒😒

Jian yao: I thought weather would be nice there.

Yoon wo: keep your thoughts to yourself

Jian yao: yoon wo you are so rude 😞😒

Yoon wo: oh jinja? ..  sorry .. I was kidding only 😅😚

Jian yao: its okay 😊

Jian yao : I am so excited to take sunbath 😍😍

Yoon wo: now you are forcing me to be rude to you .

Jackson:  jian yao we are going to a forest near the river bank  .. not to a beach where you can swim and take sunbath ..

Jian yao: ohh I forgot because of my excitement.

Melissah's POV:

I was busy packing up my bag and my mobile was showered with notifications but I knew who else can it be other then those three dorks.I was finished with packing my necessary stuff.

*sigh* .. I didn't wanted to go to such a strange place I m happy with my apartment and my cozy bed.I dont know how I would be able to spend the whole week there but I had no other option as I am the class monitor so I was elected to be team leader as well which is why it is compulsory for me to join this activity.

I went to my cafe shop and told my supervisor that I need one week leave for my university trip.they agreed easily because I was always regular and barely take a leave.I reached my apartment back and ate my cereals,took my sleeping pills and drifted off to sleep while talking to my parents.

Next Morning:

We reached university and buses were already there for us.I organized and rechecked everything before leaving for the destination.everybody got settled in the buses.I sate beside jian yao and our journey started.

Whole class kept on singing songs and some of them were even dancing at the back of the bus folding their seats up.bus was filled with their screams and laughing sounds even teachers were letting them do what they want to as this trip was organized to refresh them from busy routine.

Everyone was busy in their own fun but I felt like someone is watching me continuously.I turned my face to look who it is and my eyes caught the site of jackson.but when I looked at him he quickly fixed his gaze out of the window.I felt kinda weird and my stomach felt like something is flying inside me ( as melissah is dumb so she doesn't know what kind of feeling she is having ).

We were in the middle of journey when jian yao told me she needs to show something to yoon wo.

"Melissah would you mind if I sit with yoon wo for a while? I need to show him something .."

"No no its okay .. why would I mind that" I chuckled.

"Okay I will be back after sometime" jian yao said and left to sit with yoon wo.

Yoon wo was sitting beside jackson so its obvious that jackson would have to sit with me untill jian yao comes back.

Jackson came and sat beside me.I never felt so awkward in my whole life as I am doing right now.I dont know whats wrong with me these days.I was okay with everyone but since last one month its been so difficult for me to talk to jackson or even meeting his gaze makes my breathing unsteady.I know I may be a bit dumb but I am a confident girl and I never felt felt so nervous around anybody before.

The bus took a sudden turn causing jackson to lean over me a bit and here it goes again .. my breathing .. became so unsteady as if I was running a marathon.my heartbeat raised to a dangerous level.its been a month since my heartbeat is abnormal whenever I am around jackson.

"M sorry" jackson wispered.

"Its okay .. it's not intentional after all"

We both stayed silent untill I was pissed with my raised  heartbeat and weird fluttery feeling in my stomach.

"I think I should consult a doctor" I wispered to myself but to my surprize jackson heard it.

"Why? You okay?" He said turning to me and placing his hand over my forehead to check my temperature.concern was clearly shown in his deep brown eyes.I grabbed his hand and placed it on his lap.

"Yeah I am okay" I said lightly while my cheeks were burning hot.

"Then why do you need to see a doctor?" He asked.

"Something is wrong with my heartbeat" I told him innocently not knowing anything about these things.

"Oh then you must visit a doctor.i dont want you to die this early" he joked to lighten the atmosphere.

Jackson's POV:

I know I have been.noticing melissah since the very first day of university but my way of observing her changed very much.I had been curious about her and I know that but its been a month .. I am feeling so .. posessive about her.whenever she talks to another guy I feel upset even when I know she talks about work only with other class fellows and only me,jian yao and yoon wo are her best friends.

Whenever our eyes meet I feel butterflies in my stomach.I feel happy when she is happy.I even told this to my mom and she said that may be I am in love.

"Love" isn't just a word.its a feeling,a responsibility,and may be a fear too.fear of being rejected by the one you love,fear of hurting the one you love,fear if loosing them.

perhaps mom is right .. even I felt that I like her .. but .. I  am scared .. what if she doesn't like me? And what if our friendship break after my confession?I dont want to loose her.I want to shower her with my love.I want her to live like a normal person lives .. full of hope .. full of optimism .. full of happiness .. full of life.I will stay by her side no matter what happens.even if she doesn't love me back ..
