Whispers Of Magic

The Next Morning>>

I woke up early and went for a jog to clear my head. While returning to the dorm I saw Alex getting out of the boys' hostel, but I made sure he didn't notice me as I was in no condition to talk to him.

I went in and directly went for shower and washed myself as if I were washing off those feelings, which I had been feeling for Alex. Then in the cafeteria while having breakfast Trisha suddenly asked me "What are you up to Sweha?"

"Umm, What! Why would you say that?"

"Why did you wake up so early and then you've been talking less from yesterday." Tri said.

"Well, there could be a lot of reasons for that, and it doesn't necessarily mean I'm up to something." I replied.

"Okay, but you seem weird." Tri added.

"Yeah maybe, I'm missing home or feeling sick."

"Yeah whatever." Tri said.

"So better leave me alone Trish."

"Go ahead, keep it to yourself. But remember it won't make you feel any better." Tri said in a bossy tone.

"Uhm. Will see 'bout that!"

"Shut it you both, it's enough already." Lana said and continued "Well Tri we don't know what it is and Sweha you don't have to share it till you're comfortable. But the thing you both are doing is not solving the problem in any way, so just get over it, you guys. Enough now."

"Yeah, fine I'm sorry Trish."

"Me too." Tri added.

"Let's get going now." Kia said.

And we all went to our classes. By the break period I had noticed Alex more than 3 times already and I could not really see any way to avoid bumping into him any time now. I have been preparing my mind to act normally and not face problems, as he's just a friend to me. But well, well, the feelings are screwing over me. I better get a grip of myself before I meet him again.

Thinking about him and my emotions I was walking towards the cafeteria and yep, we were entering the school café at the same time.

"Hi Sweha. Good morning. How was your day till now?" Alex asked.

"Hi. Good morning. Good, what about your day?"

"Um, fine till now but I'm a bit nervous about the football match." He said.

"Oh, please why are you nervous, you play damn well I have seen you play, and you are pretty good at it."

"Well, I'm good, I have to be the best at it too. I wanna be the best one." He added.

"But why, like is there any reason in particular for it?"

"No, just that after school I won't get to play it this often as I will be going abroad for higher education and then you know what I mean, how will I ever continue all of this." He said in a little too sad tone.

"Hey, don't be sad; you are really awesome. At least you have me as your admirer and someone who would love to see you play anytime and cheer for you." I said to lighten up the mood.

"Oh! That's so damn sweet of you, Sweha; why don't you come to see the match today and you can bring alone your roommates too. I'll arrange passes for you all. How many are they 3 or 4?" he enquired happily.

"Um, I'd love to come. I'll let you know how many I need in a while. Thank you for offering it. Talk to you soon."

"See you." He smiled.
