SHORT STORIES

Story 1 (part 1)

Y/n pov:

Following my daily routine. I was sitting in library engrossed in one of my favorite book... It was lunch break right now. All the kids are either in canteen or playground or sucking each other face in some corners of the school. And here I'm sitting on the floor in the back of the library. Two books lying beside me, one in my hand which I'm reading. Other hand holds an apple which is my lunch. I don't know how long I have been in library but as soon as I heard the bell rings, I was definitely here for 20 minutes. I quickly collected all my belongings and putting it in my bag. As I was getting up from the floor a book fall from the rack and hit my head.
"Ouchhhhh!!" I hissed. This hurt like anything. I rubbed my head to ease the pain. And look at the book probably throwing daggers on it. But as I looked closely I saw it was one of the books I have read and also it got some scribbling on the side. Oh god who did this. Being furious I picked the book and noticed what has been written on it.

My mind stuck on the words and I got a warm feeling in my heart. I don't know why. But the fact that those words fit perfect with the lines in the book.

"All you need is a sun... To shine your world" I read it little louder. The handwriting was not so good. But still you can understand. This person is really thoughtful and has passion. I ran my fingers on the words and a smile formed on my face.

That's when something weird come into my mind. I quickly removed a book and tear a page from it. I thought for some time and quickly wrote what came into my mind...
"All you need is love... To make you feel loved" I smiled as I wrote it down.

I hold the paper and placed it in that book. Hoping the same person will open that book. I don't know why I'm doing this but an excitement makes it way in my body and a giggle left my mouth. God I'm insane who do this nowadays.

That's when another bell was heard and I know I'll be late if I didn't hurry.
I placed the book in the rack, took my bag and sprint towards was next class which is literature.

As I enter the classroom not many kids were present that mean im not late. I took my place in the back of the  left side of the classroom which is next to the window. Actually not in the back... It's second last.

Behind me sit a guy who's name is Kaden. He is quite a funny and sweet guy. But also a playboy. He got those beautiful eyes whose stares will give you goosebumps. That's soft skin... Okay I didn't touch haha... But it feels like it will be soft. Those dark and silky hairs. Perfectly style and pushed back. His jaw is perfect. And those neck. Sometimes all I want to kiss them and suck them. OMG.....y/n what are you thinking. I should not go in details.

Now you know that I have a very little crush on him... Okay okay I know it's not very little and not even a crush. But I like this guy a lot. And I know he will never be mine. And how can he be mine when he is surrounded by all this beautiful girls in our school making him popular as hell. Not having a 10% chance for me.

Next 5 minutes includes all the kids rushing to there places and taking seat. Kaden enter the classroom followed by a queue of girls. And honestly I'm used to it. Winking at every girl he passed, he makes his way towards me... Well more specifically towards his seat. He just give me a small smile just the one you give to the people you know by their names and nothing at all. This thing sometimes hurt me. Making me feel like I'm just an another girl for him who drowls at his site.

During, the class all we talk about what is the homework or what ma'am has thought us in last lecture or what are the importants for the exam point of view and that's all. Goodbye.

All I want to sit with him and talk for hours which doesn't include about studies. Teasing each other, laughing at silly jokes, sharing foods, going out, etc. But all this things only happened in my mind.
Next thing I know the bell rings which means the school ended. Kids started to move out of the class. I saw Kaden moving out to without glancing at me once. A sigh left my mouth. Placing my bag on my shoulder I made my way towards the locker to take books which has homework. Quickly taking everything I run towards library hoping I got some reply from that stranger. Entering the library, very few students were in there, librarian was busy doing her own work. I moved towards the back of the library and towards the rack. I took the book from the shelf and opened that page and found an another letter along with mine. A bright smile made its way on my face I quickly sat on the floor and opened the letter.

"Loving is hard... And being loved is harder."... I read those lines. Making me a little sad from inside. I know exactly how it feels. I got another paper and wrote "I'm taking the letter with me. You can have mine." I scribbled one of my favorite lines from the books I read. And placed the letter in the book and keeping it in the rack.

Few months later...................

Its been almost 2 month of receiving letters and sharing our thoughts. From all this what I'm thinking is that the stranger is a girl. Cause some of the lines were too deep and full of emotion that a girl only feels. But sometimes I think it's a guy. But I never asked him/her who is he/she. I rather be it like that.

And one of the eventful things happened with me this is past week was Kaden has been ignoring me has leach. As if I'll suck all the blood from me. I don't know what I did, cause I don't remember saying anything to him. All we did had shared aur phone numbers to basically talk about studies. Maybe he had felt I'm being too desperate. Cause, everytime I was the one to message him. He might doesn't like to talk.

Next day, I got a text from Kaden saying "what you feel about me?" "do you have feelings for me?"
And I was struck... I dont know how to answer that question. I want scream on top of my lungs that... I'M FOOKING IN LOVE WITH HIM.... But I controlled my myself and simply wrote I don't. Since than he is keeping his distance from me. That small smile that I used to receive had been gone. That one smile makes my day but now all I feel numb. Its been 2 days I didn't respond to the letter.. Actually i didn't visit the library at all.

I wanted to talk to someone about this to pour my heart out. But, I have no one. I have only one friend who is also in another state. As I moved from there. My only best friend Lucy. I don't want her to be stressed out cause of me. So I didn't said anything to her.

That's when... I know what I have to do. I quickly run back towards the library and in the back. Took the book and opened it and there I saw almost 6 letters from the stranger. I got a mushy feeling in my heart. Meaning that stranger was really waiting for me. I sat on the floor.

I opened first letter which was on the top... It says
"are you okay, you haven't replied to any of my letters this past two days. You know you can share with me anything. I'm a good listener."... After reading this my heart filled with some different emotions I didn't understand.

Taking another letter I read
"hey I don't know what happened to you but reply me as soon as you see them"

Taking another one
"are you not in the school. Did something happened?"

Taking the 4th letter
"hey, stranger I'm waiting....."... This is first time someone had waited for me.

Next letter
"hey there, how are you. I'm not fine. I really wanted to talk to you." OMG he/she was not fine. Ohh god it might be something bad.

Next and last letter
"I totally agree what you said" ohh this one is for the letter I send.

I quickly took all the letters and kept it in my bag. I took a paper and wrote
"Im really sorry, I was just.... Let it be
What happened to you, are you okay. What you want to talk about?
Actually, me too.. Wanted to talk to you.." I folded the paper and placed it in the book.

I was doing my homework in my room, when I remembered I didn't placed the letters in the box. I took the box from under the bed and removed the letters from my bag opening the box I saw all the letters that I have received from the stranger was securely placed in it. I put the letters in the box and stare them. I just have this feeling that soon I'm going to meet this person. And that time we will re read all this letter and revive the past.

With this my mind again drift to Kaden. I wanted to know the reason but I don't have guts to ask him.

Loving him more will only cause hurt and pain to me. But I can't tell him that. I'm not the one for him. He deserves someone better and someone who is just like him. I'm totally not his taste.
