He
was late
and he knew it. This was the first time and he couldn’t believe he had
allowed himself to over sleep. With his ears plugged in he walked
briskly to class.
He
smiled to himself ‘he would see her today’ he thought and today he
would finally tell her how he feels. He really liked her. The way she
smiles, talks, walks and even the way she writes.
Weird?... Yeah he knew.
He
had tried so many times to get her attention, just to have a reason to
say something to her, to get her to talk to him not his friends. He said
hi to her friends at various occasions on purpose just to get a chance
to say hi to her
but she never looked at him. It was like she never noticed he was
there. She always had her ears plugged, paying no attention what-so-ever
to the world.
He
always asked after her but never directly. His friends knew how much he
liked her but he made them swear they would never tell anyone
who-so-ever. He bought things for her but never delivered them, wrote
letters, poems and stories but never gave them to her. He drew pictures
and took pictures of her, keeping all hidden from everyone but himself. A
times he would practise how he would talk to her, all the things he
would say to her, the way he smile when he sees her and laugh if she
said anything funny. He thought of how he would treat her if they were
ever together, how he would make her feel. He made a promise he would
always make her happy if he ever got the chance and always keep that
cute smile of hers on her face forever.
He
knew she didn’t have a boyfriend but she had lots of ‘boy’ friends
which sometimes scared him. They all looked like stiff competition if
for any reason they were interested in her and if she was interested in
anyone of them.
He was late......his mind reminded him bringing him back to reality. He walked faster now.
What would she think of him? Would she accept him? Would she laugh at him? Would she embarrass him?
‘No
she wasn’t like that’ he told himself. She was too sweet to do
something like that and she would never laugh at him, at least not in
public. This wasn’t the first time these questions had popped up. For
awhile now they had been popping up more frequently than usual.
He
was almost there....
He
went through everything he had planned to say to her in his head,
editing and re-editing over and over. He entered the class scanning even
without thinking for her. Where was she? He looked around for her cute
face and amazing smile and then he saw her sitting alone at the back of
the class. He stopped himself from smiling stupidly. ‘Was she ok?’ he
asked himself. He was about to find out as he slowly walked in her
direction....
