School Crush

The Boy In The Right Corner

I was happy by merely sitting near Ram, *my new found crush* and follow his words as he spoke. I haven't even dreamt of meeting my fantasy boy in real so soon. He clicked as the perfect match for the person I ever fantasized.

But will this thing in my mind turn out in the good way ?

"Hay Ram. I am Riya Anurag. I am in my twelfth grade. Which class are you in?"I started the conversation voluntarily.

" Nice to meet you sister. I am your junior opted for Maths-CS group." he replied with the same smile.

Reality seeps in.

I was shocked by his reply. He effortlessly addressed me as sister.

I wondered myself did I fell for this person easily even when I knew he is younger to me. He called me as sister even without swaying slightly in his thoughts. Did my heart go weak? Or am I being a brazen person.

I was clueless why my heart is risking to take the path of such a newly polished smooth slippery road while it must be on its way limping on the own routine cracked road.

My thoughts were struck in process of convincing myself to make this fantasy boy into my reality by whatever it takes. If a fantasy had a chance to bloom into reality I am going risk my heart pushing down the newly polished road myself.

Soothing my heart from the hot rod striking words of Ram. I made a plan on mind to make him believe that he can get friendly with me as more than a sister. Plotting a well sufficed plan I went on to execute it.

"Did you just call me sister? Its ok ai don't mind being called by name."I gave in a granted permission. His eyes widen by my words.

"But you are elder to me sister. You are my senior I should give you all due respect." he blurted out as if I gave him all rights to swear on my face.

How could you act like a baby boy! You are damn seventeen now. How can you make this older one to teach you the ways a girl will approach while I am the one doing the same.

I literally wanted to yell at him. Is this the time you are trying to treat me as the most respected person of your life? Who cares to use honorifics these days!!! But some did. Merely a small bunch I guess. I think to my fortune he belonged to that some.

I wished that he could make some amendment in that social law of his atleast for me.

Why should you call me by that? Why me? Or is he trying to check on me since he picked up some hints already? I didn't know.

His voice made me come into my senses again. He has been watching me while going on the turmoil in my head. Did it reflect it clearly on my face? I think it did since he replied.

"Yeah its ok then I don't mind calling you by your name if you insist" he said happily. I guess he even like this idea of losing honorifics. His smile was bright unlike the soft one before. Even I was happy by that response.

I took my happy wings out and was prepared to take off for a ride to cloud nine.

Right then I was pulled on to the hard grounds. The wings blurred out from my thoughts. I was dragged away Ram, by Shilpa.

She was trying to shake me off from the dreamy state while I still wanted to go on a ride with my wings on.

Finally Shilpa's intervention was a success.

"What the hell are you trying to do Riya? Why are you eyeing on him like that?" she asked me curtly while most of crowd still stared at us.

*Omg! Did i just forget all people were still in the room?*

"Did I do so? I didn't know. Maybe I am in a dozy state. You know new academic year is not treating me well. I had to sleep one hour past midnight yesterday also." I rambled in whatever I could think of to mask my grooving looks over Ram.

I managed to slip out from Shilpa's sense talk. I knew even most of the the others around me the same question as Shilpa. Since I was eating Ram away with my eyes. He would be the one not to know of it.

To my surprise the excuse was readily taken in but I think there must be one person with doubt about this fact. Because my eyes never left his face . I wondered if he knew the proper reason.

I think he has got his hints orelse his same dark brown eyes would not have been fixed on every single twitch of mine.

I wondered what was his thoughts now. Have I succeeded in imposing my crush on Ram?
