Just because... (ON HOLD)

Chapter 2

                Have you ever been so lost in your own world that you forgot about the outer one and when you finally come to reality you have no idea what's happening? Because this is what happened to me. I was so engrossed in my inner monologue that I didn't realise where I was going or where I have to go. Lost. I was lost. Stupid Lana, very stupid. I should have followed the other freshers from the gate itself.
          Now I have to actually ask someone for the directions. Human interaction. Something I was kind of trying to keep to minimum. Sighing at the thought of having no other choice but this, I look around for someone I could ask hoping to find a faculty member. Finding myself the only one in the corridor I decide to walk further and come face to face with a slightly ajar door after a few turns.

Opening it I peek inside to see if I find something to help my current situation and find that it is a gym. And a huge one. I've seen gyms, we had one in school but this was too big.

Suddenly I had this amazing idea. Seeing that no one was here and I was lost anyway so why not have some fun while at it as I might not get an opportunity this in future. I throw my bag on the floor and start running and singing and dancing all over the place.

          I was already in the middle of my third song "Uptown Funk", standing on the bleachers using my fist as my mic and using the situation to it's maximum, when I heard someone clear his throat "Uh- hmm". I turn towards the noise, a bit disappointed at being disturbed only to see a really cute guy standing a few feet away from me, an amused expression on his handsome face.

Oh good God! Did he just see my like that?

I immediately correct my position, my face red with obvious embarrassment and walk towards my bag after a quick, "Umm, ah-I am s-sorry", by which time he was trying really hard to hide his laughter.

I picked up my bag as quickly as possible and made my way towards the exit desperate to find a hole I could hide in, when a deep voice from behind spoke up,

" Do you really have these concerts often? If yes, I want a ticket for the next one".

As if I wasn't embarrassed enough, I turn a deeper shade of red as I stop at his comment. Finding my voice at last I turn, "I uh-umm was uh l-lost, when I found this place". Walking towards me slowly , he says," And I was at the back of the gym trying to study since this place is usually empty at this time of the day, when I heard some noise. Imagine my shock to see a girl dancing and singing all over the place".

"Umm, I am r-really sorry for disturbing you. I didn't m-mean to. I'll just get g-going", saying this I turn around to leave this awkward conversation behind. "But where will you go? You told that you are lost right?", he chuckles from behind and I stiffen.

He's correct. I'm lost. I had forgotten that I needed to get my schedule and register myself today itself. Should I ask him to help me? No I'll just leave and find someone else to help. But what if I don't get anyone like before? But do I want to spend more time with a really cute guy who has seen my dancing like that?

Definitely not.

So I start," No, I umm think that-" when he interrupts me to say,"Seeing that you're lost, you must be a freshman. Come I'll help you. Did you get your schedule from the office?"

By this time he had come and stood in front of me, but I couldn't look up, my face red with the proximity of his body .

"No, I couldn't find the office" , I murmur.

"Oh", comes his happy voice again, "Come I'll show you the way, it's in the building behind this building" and he puts his arm around me as if it's the most obvious thing to do. Not being able to form any words I just nod.

On the way to the office I realise that he must be a popular guy in this place because as we walk I could see heads turning towards us, a few people greeting him and others just staring at him.

Feeling really awkward with all this, I almost sighed with relief on seeing the office sign after 10min.

I muttered a quick thankyou and started sprinting towards the door when he calls again, his hand stretched as if expecting a shake,

"I'm Lucas by the way. Luke in short. Nice to meet you".

Thinking that as it is I'll never see him again after this I reply this time more confidently,

"I'm Milana, thanks a lot for the help. But I need to leave fast for the registration process".

His face forms a sexy smirk," Oh! So you can speak without stuttering at every alternate word."

I laugh at his observation and reply, "Try being a lost freshman, caught in her worst by a cute senior. Hopefully we'll never speak again after today. Bye Luke. Thanks for the help."

I turn towards the office and enter it with a confident smile on my face. Atleast first day isn't a total disaster.
