We were 13, we were in the same class. You were always the charismatic type, had a group of friends always around you.
I still remember the way u spoke, I still remember those eyes. Years have passed, we are adults, but those memories are still afresh.
From the first day we started the classes that year, I obviously had known you for u were popular, even thought, u looked good.
You know what got me attracted towards you? It was ur smile , voice and eyes.
Your smile - when you smiled it was like ur eyes smiled along. That hint of sarcasm , smirkish kinda of smile. Oh boy ! I would fall for that any day
Your voice - you has a very peculiar voice , which I liked a lot.
Your eyes - your eyes spoke a lot.
All these small things got me attracted towards you that I started to notice you more and more.
With each day the butterflies in my stomach started increasing.
I started to feel more conscious when you were around. I would always turn around during our classes to see what you were doing, you sat diagonally opposite behind me.
How much times I had wished, that I was the one who sat besides you!
So one day we I was assigned for this cleaning duty in my classroom along with 2 others. That day you had done something and u were in detention. You had left ur bag is class along with 2 bags of the kids who had detention too.
This girl who was cleaning with me suggested that we take the bags and give it to u guys in detention.
When she was about to touch your bag , I was literally running towards her and grabbed the bag first. I wanted to take ur bag and leave it with you. I wanted a chance! She just looked at me quizzed and picked another bag. Thank God she dint ask me anything.
So we took ur bags , and when I reached the detention room u were there sitting , working out something.
I picked your bag without the thinking, but now I was dumbstruck looking at you. You noticed me standing with your bag and u were probably confused. I just stood there not knowing what to say. The girl besides me came forward and told everyone that since we were cleaning , we picked your bags.
Saying this she left the bag she had on her hand to the one guy. I walked slowly towards where u were sitting. I dint make any eye contact with u so I have no idea, what you were doing.
I placed the bag next to u. My heart was beating so fast.so fast that I thought it was going to blast. As I kept ur bag I turned around. You said "Thank you"
Man, that thank you made me so damn happy that I even forgot to say something back. I just smiled and walked away.
I kept replying that scene on repeat on my head. Until that day I never knew that one small word from the person you like can bring so much of happiness memories in you.
It was the month of Christmas, so in our class we had all planned for a game. The secret Santa- all our names would be put in a basket and we would have to randomly pick a name.
I was very excited to play this game along with everyone. So when my turn came I walked up to the basket and picked a chit.
And the chit had ur name. I was clearly excited. My friends knew I got up name , and they started to tease me. At one point I could not control my excitement and I started to laugh and blush so much.
I was very happy , extremely excited that I forgot that I was looking at u and laughing.
You looked at me looking at you laughing and blushing, and you walked over to me. My heart was beating faster n faster. I dint know what to say, but still I was laughing. You came near me, dint say anything. U just asked me in a sign language if I had got ur name...I was still laughing like a duffer and I don't know whether I said yes or no.
But you clearly understood that I was ur secret santa and just walk away.
I could not guess ur reaction because ur back was facing me.
I don't know till date whether u were happy or disappointed or neutral.
But that day is one of the most memorable day for me!
