A forgotten message

Few days passed, Everyday i rushed to my solitude during lunch break, alone. I severely needed a friend. A few classmates eventually started smiling at me whenever i entered the class. The crush guy being on of them, I didn't respond in the starting but now I hesitately smile back at him whenever he smiles at me.  

 I walked into the classroom 10 mins early for the first time in my life, VICTORY.

A message popped up on my screen,

Mumma-We are going on shopping this weekend, have you reached college yet?

I felt smile creeping up my face.

Me-yes mumma, reached here 15 mins ago i am walking into the class now..

Me-  I am Excited for shopping. 

Mumma-Take care and eat something

Walking inside the class still looking in my phone I typed.

Me- Yup. Bye.

I reached the bench i usually sit on and glance up from my phone. I almost jumped when i saw him sitting on the seat. The crush guy looked at me with smirk on his face, he was expecting this reaction.

Didn't he used to sit on the first bench? What happened now...

I smiled and sat on the front bench...while he still remain seated on the bench behind mine.

Weird. 

A realisation strike me....I immediately opened my Instagram and scrolled down the chats....

There he was

He was the one who sent the message welcoming me here 

I read his text again-

" Good evening....hello I am kevin. Welcome to our batch. I hope you will like it here and yes just bing me whenever you need help"

I looked over my shoulder at him.

Ohhhhhhhhh okay, he is the kevin and he texted me. I confirmed his profile picture with his face.

What a wierd name though

Bell rang and i snapped out of my thoughts....

Lectures went on one after the other. It felt wierd, siting in front of him. Was he observing me? Is he interested? Did he caught me staring at him the first time and hence had an impression that i am interested? Did i gave him signs? A lot of thoughts ran in my mind. 

I shook my head, take a deep breath and pushed those thoughts away.

"You are just overthinking." I whispered to myself. 

I saw him couple of time glancing at my table...He sat right across my table in lab just like i mentioned before and often exchanged smile. 

He seems a nice guy and the look on his face always shouted friendship.

"Its been a while here and i haven't made any friends" I whispered to myself.

 I spent most of my time alone or on call with friends  and this is not me.

So i decided to make friends here.

After all i have to survive a whole f*cking year here.

Its Thursday today and lectures ends at 3:30 pm. The last lecture was about to start so I slipped my phone out of the pocket and immediately typed 

"Coffee together?!"

He was busy scribbling something in his book, I glanced at him and then at the message I sent. Second thoughts flooding my mind.

The lecture started, today's topic was lipid structure. I really suck at this, and spent whole lecture struggling to keep up with professor. The lecture ended after professor made sure to fill our hands with assignment topics and other work.

I hopped out of the class as soon as  class was dismissed and rushed towards the washroom, my bladder would have bursted if i waited a little long.

Aaahhhhhhh..... Feels good, I walked out of the washroom. I have about 2 hours free, should i go to Rosh's place? I thought. 

Me- Heya!!!!!

Rosh- What do you want?

Me- I am coming over. 

Rosh- What if I am not at my home?

I rolled my eyes.

Me- I know you are at your home. 

Rosh- lol bring some pizza too. 

I threw my phone in my bag and started walking towards the parking lot when I saw kevin, leaning on the wall with phone in his hands struggling hard to type something. Why do he looks so nervous?

Once I reached my vehicle, I fished my phone out again and placed my handset on my ears in parking area. 

My phone buzzed and messages popped up

Kevin - sure.

Kevin- today?!

Kevin- where?

I read the messages.... I completely forgot about you boy.

Me- "umm.... Okay. You pick a place"

Kevin- "W.B?"

Me- "Pardon?!"

Kevin- " Wagh- Bakri tea lounge?"

Me- "I don't know where it is...😅"

Kevin- "Where are you?"

Me- "Parking area near the ground."

I saw him walking towards me....
