When We Met

*On Hiatus*

"So? Do you like me?" He didn't look at me. His eyes fixed on his mobile screen which was blank and had nothing on it.

"What?" I was extremely shocked by his words. Me? I like him? I mean I do but as friends.

"What?" He looked at me. His eyes were calm, his voice was soft and his peaceful smile was also there.
As if it was stuck there to hide what was inside.

"I do but as friends. Which way are you asking?"

"The other way."

"What way?" Actually I knew but I wanted to be clear. I didn't want to misunderstand anything.

"I heard you talking with Sneha near the library." He said.

I turned my eyes from him in embarrassment. He heard it all. Everything. But then again it was a lie. What should I do? Should I tell the truth?

"I don't like you." Yes. That's right I don't like him romantically. I just didn't know what to say at that time and his name came out of my mind. That's it.

"So then why not make it real?" He asked. His eyes finally came out of his phone and landed on mine. His face was straight with no emotions. What should I do?

***

A relationship that started that way. How would it end or rather how would it start?
