Let's Meet Again (Part 3 - Budding Flower)
New season arrived. I hate rainy days. Well I would generally say it out loud but... She seems to be into it. So, i will just keep my mouth shut.
"So you like rain this much?"
"Absolutely, watching rain while relaxing in chair and sipping coffee. Absolute bliss!"
"Well I am not picky, give me coffee any time and I am loving it!"
She looked at me raising eyebrow.
"You are such a simpleton"
"Guess you figured it out. Will you take advantage of me now?"
Slightly hitting me with corner of her hand to my hand.
"Go away"
"SHIVAMMMM"
that was teacher shouting my name. Ok I was wrong this time talking in class. Well, how can I not do when it is so fun. Just to tease her a bit. I still haven't seen her full face. When we bumped i noticed one thing. Her eyes, it was of light blue colour. I just can't stop myself from looking at her, and when she looks back being captivated by her eyes.
I know, don't judge me because of it.
I looked at teacher, but he wasn't there. Where is teacher? He is not in front of blackboard. I guess I misheard, turned back to her. She was looking at my back. I slowly turned that way, and teacher was looking right at me. I won't lie he looked furious in anger. Then came the tsunami of words, which people termed as lecturing. I don't know what he was lecturing us but I kept my head down where he couldn't see and laughing the whole time.
Lunch time came, all my friends gathered around me.
"Dude that was hell of a speech"
"Yeah, but who cares. I mean I found it funny"
They started looking at each other. Well, i can understand their surprise. I mean I generally come in top 5 students in every subjects. So the stereotype of being goodie two shoe was my image. I am not like that, i just do whatever I like but also study because my mom and dad will be angry otherwise. So i study and in free time I do whatever I want.
"Oh, i thought you would be upset"
"Nah, i am used to it. I used to get scolded every day for climbing trees in my previous location. Today I was reminded of that"
Ok now their genuine surprise was visible. I looked at her, she was getting a bit uncomfortable with so many people around us.
"Anyways, I need to go to toilet. Excuse me"
I went to toilet and waited for prolonged period of time so all would leave and won't be waiting.
When I came back I saw her eating her food.
"Wow, you won't even wate for me?"
"You are late"
"Wooah, you are already being like wife. Let's take it step by step"
She didn't replied to it. Did I teased her bit too much. I will be nice to hear now.
"So want to eat mine?"
"Mine is almost finished. You will be hungry"
"Don't worry, i am not sharing all of it"
"Meanie"
We chuckled. I want to go out a bit, but where would be a quiet place now. Oh i just know the right place.
"Want to go somewhere special?"
"Asking me on date?"
"Just the two of us soooo. We can take it more than date"
"Get lost"
I stood up and held her hand.
"Come"
There was a small way through which one can get out of school and there was dense vegetation there.
"Wow, i am seeing this first time"
"Yeah, i would be shocked if you would have seen this. I am the only person to know the route.... Used to be the only person"
"Well, i am not talking about the place"
I looked at her. Her eyes, I got lost while looking at her. My hypnosis broke by hearing rain sound.
"Shit, let's race to the class"
I held her hand, she was new to the route so she can get lost. I don't want that to happen. By the time we entered the school building l, we got soaked in water. Not too wet, but wet. I looked at her and gave my handkerchief.
"Thanks"
She took it and removed all the hair which always covered her face. She is too cute. She stopped moving and looked at me, she was turning red. I realised, i thought out loud.
"Wow, didn't knew this"
"Stop it. I am not, so don't lie. I got to know your new side, but I don't want you to lie to me"
I am puzzled, what did I lie about.
"You are cute, i would be lying if I say my heart didn't skipped a few beats"
She turned fully red, handed me my handkerchief. I took it and wiped all excess water of me.
"So miss beauty, why does it look like i am lying"
She spoke at very low voice.
"How can one be cute and beautiful after having all the scars"
Her hands were tightening.
"So am I that type of person who would talk to only person with high status and looks? I am average looking guy"
"No, it's not like that.."
"Then trust me on this"
I patted her head subconsciously, at that moment loud thunder noise came. Next thing shocked me a bit, she was holding me as tight as she could. I won't lie but this is soo cute. I stood there till she opens her eye. When she did and realised what she was doing, she spring back.
"Ouch, am i that repulsive?"
"Shut up"
She started walking at fast pace i followed her to the class. We both entered the class late. Got lectured again and were told to stand out of the class. So we were standing and talking. Again a thunder, she started to shiver I held her hand. She calmed down a bit. Then thunder show began. Everytime a thunder would go off i would feel my hand being squeezed.
As the punishment was over we sat on our seat for rest of the classes. When I sat i realised what I did, holding her hand and saying that loud. It was so embarrassing, this is the first time I ever did that. I was so embarrassed that i wasn't able to talk to her whole day.

Next day when I came to class there were so many people surrounding the desk next to me. It is her desk. What are they doing. As I got closer to crowd i can hear wow you are soo good looking. I entered the center to get to my seat but she caught my attention. Dressed nicely and not hiding her face.
"Huh, looking more beautiful than yesterday"
Shit I said it out loud again. She palmed her face, and i just embarrassed myself. Quietly sat down. Bell rang, the class started. In middle of class i find myself unconsciously looking at her. Then I noticed that she was turning red. Ok i am being too obvious. Tried hard to focus on study.
Lunch came, again everyone flocked around her. I stood up and got out. Sat down at the corner of playing field under a tree. Beautiful and soothing breeze, I got lost in peace.
"Finally found you"
I looked at the direction of voice. It's her voice.
"Were you looking for me?"
"Of course, why would I run around otherwise?"
"I thought you would be eating with your new friends"
"Friends them? Come on, no one wants a fake like them"
"You are crazy you know that"
"Yeah, only a crazy person would stick with you"
I laughed at it.
"Come on sit"
She sat too close to me. I make my personal space very obvious and not let anyone enter it. When she entered and sat down it wasn't like anything. My defences were all down like being vulnerable. For a moment I got scared. Then got myself to calm.
We talked about random things and started to eat. This time she was confident in everything she was doing. I like her this new side. Without asking claiming her food from my share. I was loving this side of her.
After eating I got up she was sitting. I extended my hand to help her. She held my hand. I pulled her in same way I would pull my guy friends, what I didn't realised how light she is. She almost flew up and crashed into me. I was sorry for pulling her so hardly. I looked at her she was looking up at me. Our face was too close. I leaned in and went for kiss.
My face turned red after it. I hung my head so that she won't notice. She laughed, i looked up her face was red too.
"The way you were going i thought you had girlfriend before, but I was just worrying for nothing"
"Your face is red too"
"Of course it's my first time"
"Shut up, don't embarrass me"
She burst out laughing. Looking at her I smiled.
"So we are a couple now"
"I am not against it" she said it in low voice.
We both cracked up, then got closer to kiss again.
