I am a little nervous.

Actually, a lot nervous.

I have match made a lot of couples, resolved trouble in paradise, have acquired answer's from most confusing and annoying people during my survey collections. But have never been this nervous. Well getting nervous is a human tendency, you can get nervous anytime if the activity in concern is close to your heart and who ever says otherwise is telling a straight face lie. However well versed you are, you are sure to get nervous while doing it.

But in my entire existence I have never been this nervous. And for doing what? Just approaching a guy and befriending him.

Not getting anything yet, let me rewind it for you. Early in the morning, yesterday as in Sunday, I got a mail from my best friend Sandra requesting me to set up her brother with a decent girl.

So later that afternoon I started collecting information about Ben , since I don't know much about him apart from what Sandra told me. I made few calls to my 'friends' and 'accidently' mention him in a conversation. And from what I have gathered he is a quit kind of person. He has only one friend, whose name someone told me was 'Tyler McCartney'. And he likes to talk only to him. He is a straight 'A' student and is apparently in a few of my classes. But I didn't notice him. I wonder why?

But the highlight was that apart from some incidents here and there no one has ever heard him say a word to anyone. Weird?

So fast forward to Monday morning, here I am waiting opposite to his locker, talking to a friend and hoping that I will get a chance to talk to him. If not , then I have to do something to get to start a conversation with him.

After 10 min of aimlessly participating in the conversation the girl, he finally arrives at his locker, Tyler beside him talking at a rapid speed.

The girl beside me excused herself, telling me her boyfriend has arrived and she has to go and meet him. Thank god. I was thinking about how to approach the two boys. When the opportunity walked right in front of me. I mean Tyler walked right in front of me.

"Hey Alex, I didn't saw you at Dean's party at Saturday?" Tyler asked leaning at the locker beside Ben's locker. "I was there, but I didn't stay long, I am not really a party person." I replied.

"Not a party person? But I usually see you at all the high end parties." He asked me, raising an eyebrow at me as if challenging me. I was reply with some good sarcasm, but I realized that now even Ben looked interested in the conversation, and I knew bantering with his best friend will not get me where I want to be. So I decided to answer it as simply as I could.

" These 'high end' people usually invite me , and even though I don't care much about what anyone think of me , I find it a too rude to outright turn down the invitation , so I go , show my face and come back. Sometimes if they need my help I stay there also. But I try to avoid them as much as I can." I said with the calmest face I could muster.

Tyler was tried open his to say something, probably another question, but Ben elbowed him in his side and muttered a small a 'Stop it, its annoying.'
