From making your heart flutter to a heart wrenching pain. Those kisses in your head from your crush. Those feelings you could never confess to them. All those "my heart skipped a beat" moments that you always play on repeat in your head but never in...

Ever wondered what is it about them, that attracts you the most? Is it the way he laughs? Or his arrogant walk around the campus? Or the way he talks? The way he eats? The way he talks?
"He looks normal to me" Alex said looking at Noah, clearly unimpressed by him, only because she has a boyfriend.
But for me, he was far from normal. His clear existence has been a blessing to me. But going unnoticed by him for almost two yeas is now making me question, why the hell am I so into Steve!? At one point of time, I wanted to move on with someone else, but neither I found someone nor was I asked out on a date. So I am a Date Virgin! With a hopeless crush on a guy who doesn't know I exist.
He was sitting opposite to me, exactly two tables away. While he was enjoying his favorite apple pudding and laughing with his friends, unaware of the fact that here I was chewing on my pen and ogling him for the past 25 minutes.
"Am I that invisible! That he cannot even see that I have been staring at him like a creep!" I asked Alex in desperation.
"You have been doing that for past 2 years, by now he probably thinks of you as retard and not 'invisible'" she said making fun of my situation.
"It's a subtle art of 'flirting'. You won't know" I huffed at her.
"Why don't you try 'a subtle art of creep' instead" I rolled my eyes at her. --------------------------------------------------------------- Alex had to leave early because of some family emergency, which meant that I would have to walk back home alone. It wasn't a big deal if it hadn't been raining all afternoon and I didn't even carry an umbrella today.
I stood at the building door, cursing myself for forgetting the umbrella and choosing a wrong day to wear a cotton shirt. I saw Steve coming out when his eyes landed on me. I quickly averted my gaze and focused on the rain ahead.
"Hi Sarah!" He said flashing those pearl whites at me.
"Hi Steve!" I responded quickly, trying not to blush at the fact that he knew my name. He came to stand by me with his hands in his pockets and gave me a small smile. I don't know what was happening, because no matter how smart you are, your brain will always shutdown when your crush approaches you! And I think it is with everyone, I am no exception. Steve was not a bad boy, instead he was the exact opposite of that. Standing 5'11 (I guess so!)ft tall, he was a smart guy, acing both, the football in the field and marks in the class. I was pretty sure, he already got a scholarship to one of the Ivy League colleges. But what I liked about him the most was the way he used to smile. His lips used to touch his canine teeth whenever he used to smile.
Maybe I should talk to him? But what would I say? Maybe I should just stay quiet.
" You are never going to talk to me, are you?" He suddenly asked, breaking the silence and leaving me perplexed with his question. What does he mean by that? Does he know about me crush? I looked at him in confusion. "Why didn't you ever talk to me? You like me don't you?" he questioned again. "You knew?" I finally spoke. All this time, I thought he didn't know me, that he never knew about my crush! But he did. "Everyone knows!" he chuckled.
"But I have been very subtle about it!" I retaliated.
"I won't say subtle." He said clearly amused by the whole situation. "For past 2 years you have been looking at my direction with those big eyes and you thought I will never understand? At first, yeah, I didn't. I thought you were just staring into the space or maybe checking out one of my friends. But you weren't." he said smiling.
"So I waited for you to talk to me. But again you never did. So I decided to approach you, but your friend never left your side and I couldn't find any other way to talk to you. Until now" All this time, I stood there with my mouth open, like a deer caught in a headlight.
"I thought you never noticed me" I said.
"Are you serious? You were the first girl I saw when I got transferred to this school. You were standing near the fountain, with your friend, talking about how much you cried the previous night at the death of Tony Stark" he smiled at the memory.
I blushed and looked away. It was then I realized, that he has a car, and yet he was still standing next to me when he could have left already!
We didn't spoke another word and still it felt like we both knew everything. I don't know what we both could take from it, whether we were dating now or friends or anything like that. We just knew one thing that we both had eyes for each other, that's it.
Our incomplete conversation was complete in its own way.
