Count Dracula
Count Dracula

Only God knew what went on his mind,
He was a very pale guy with dark black hair like the night sky,
His eyes had countless stars in them, so let’s call him Count,
No one liked him for looking like a malnourished Edward Cullen,
Even I didn’t like him for that look but then I realized that his intellect was beyond his Count Dracula appearance.

We stayed just across from each other but never spoke to one another,
He was shy and timid, so hidden even from cupid’s eye,
I never planned on talking to him even though we rode on the same bus to school,
Soon I had forgotten his existence,
But, perhaps the fates had another plan for both of us.

The next morning he was in my class,
My expression was unreadable when I saw him,
I didn’t want him in my class because we stayed in the same apartment,
Our parents knew each other a little too well,
Therefore, I initially hated him instantly,
Don’t blame me he was also a very arrogant egoist who believed he was always right,
But he was always right.


Don’t know what happened but one day I saw him stare at me with slightly dilated eyes,
As though he was mildly surprised like I sprouted another head, while we were going on the bus,
He didn’t stop staring at me at all, I actually thought I might have sprouted another head unknowingly,
Days passed that way, weeks passed away in a blink of an eye and he would stare at me every single day with the same expression,
I was annoyed but I secretly enjoyed the attention as he was known as an absolute nerd and egoist who had very high standards.
I don’t like men who have an ego, but he never acted like one in front of me or with any of our classmates, everyone thought he was pretty cool as well.


One day my teacher asked me to sit in the seat behind him,
I was hesitant but I went and sat anyway,
He, who was a complete introvert, turned around gave me a minute long stare and said hi,
His friends who sat beside him gasped and said, “Bro, did you just say Hi?”
That was the kind of introvert he was.

On my birthday, my friend, who was like the tomboy of the group gave me birthday bombs,
She got a little too excited and pushed me all of a sudden with such force,
I tripped backwards and fell atop something soft,
I didn’t feel any...
