Chapter 6 | Poetry in motion

"Um.. Yeah, sure I guess." She said with a nonchalant expression.

I nodded and took the seat next to her as the class became inaudible and I somehow felt elated with this strange, peculiar feeling. I had never felt this way before with anyone. There was something about this scintillating beauty beside me that demanded my attention.

Ms. Tina continued scribbling down the assignment that was about writing a full report about marketing strategy. It was a piece of cake as I was familiar with the concept of marketing.

When I was little, I would go to my mum's office during my free time and her head of marketing would give me insights of the company status and updates.

I started swiftly typing away on my laptop as I copied the pointers that were written on the board. I felt him lean closer, his warm breath on my cheeks. His face was just inches away from mine. He seemed to be glancing at what I was typing. I felt a chill down my spine. Wait, is something wrong with the ventilation cuz, I'm about to start sweating.

I was curious to see what she was typing. She looked like poetry in motion with her soft hands pressing against the keyboard swiftly and her beautiful dove-like eyes focused on the board, She had a beaming look on her face as Ms. Tina was giving out the pointers. As I moved closer, I inhaled her sweet fragrance she emitted that somewhat made me want to bury my lips onto the crook of her neck and kiss it.

"Hey.. Do you mind?" she impatiently snapped, turning to face me. Our lips almost touched. Almost.

"I don't mind.." I grinned coyly as I leaned away, scratching the back of my head. She raised an eyebrow with a perplexed look.

"Hey.. Do you want to work on this assignment after school at my place? I have a car and I will drop you off after we complete it." I asked after the bell rang for a lunch break. We had a week to complete the assignment but I didn't want to miss this opportunity to steal some time with her.

She pondered over it for a while and nodded. I told her to meet me at the school car park after school.

I took one last glance at her talking to her friend before heading out the door for lunch.

We had different classes scheduled except for the one with Ms. Tina.

"I want to know everything! All the details now!" nudged Aditi with a huge smile on her face as we walked towards our lockers at the corridor.

"It's nothing, he just kept looking at me the whole time! I doubt he even paid any attention. He told me to follow him to his place to get the assignment done after school." I said, closing my locker before heading to the cafeteria.

"He WHAT?!" Blurted Aditi "Omg! Anjali.. I think he likes you!" Scoffed Aditi.

"Yeah, he does... In your lust filled mind Aditi!" I smacked her with a book lightly.

"Anyways it's just to finish the assignment, plus he better not cross his line. I would like to see him do that." I smirked, showing Aditi my clenched fist.

"You really should tone down, babe! Not all men think from down there. I mean, look at him! All the girls wanted him as a partner, but he chose you! He seemed so intrigued by you obviously", Aditi stated.

"Hold that thought right there!" I lifted a finger. "I am just an average girl, nothing special about me." I stated.

"I beg to differ! My bestie is the most special girl in the entire campus!" Aditi rebutted, hugging me as I sighed in defeat.

What would I do without my bestie?!

After lunch I had to attend a business management module. As I entered the class, I saw the guy who held her wrist back in the corridor this morning.

I glared at him shooting daggers as he shot me a confused look. He was slightly smaller in build yet had toned muscles. I had an uncontrollable impulse to take a swing at his nose again but I didn't want to lash out on my first day here.

"Hey there buddy! You must be the new student!" I turned around to a guy smiling behind me as I took my seat. He was a decent build guy that seemed like he spent most of his time in sports. "Yeah, I just got transferred here." I replied acknowledging him.

"My name is Dev." he extended his hand out and I shook it. "My name is Raj." I answered and got back to focusing on the lesson.

I kept staring at the clock as it dragged slowly. I was impatiently waiting to see her beautiful face again and finally the bell rang after what seemed like an eternity, snapping me out into reality.

Hey beautiful souls! Don't we all need a friend like Aditi in our life?!

Qotd: Roses or tulips?

Till the next chapter! Love and hugs!
