Hello Everyone 😊
I am back with a new thought..

It's a short story that I created in my imagination one night when I couldn't sleep. It took me three days to write.

I hope u will enjoy and support my work.
A story of 2 strangers that started in school, and God planned them to be together for the rest of their lives.

Hi!!!! My name is Arsh. I am from Haryana. I mean, my birthplace is Haryana, but right now, we have shifted to New Delhi cause my father is an Income Tax Inspector, so he got posted here a week ago. And for this, I have to leave my old school and school friends as well. 😒 hate this...

I know I am gonna meet new people in this new school as well and make new friends cause I am a pro in this ( lifting my shirt collar proudly). I am a new admission to this school.
As expected, I was greeted very warmly by everyone. The teachers and my classmates are all nice.
I must add some of the girls are quite excited to talk to me 😉u know what I mean. Grabbing every chance to have a little bit of chit chat with me, whether in recess or games period, or in any free period.

Thanks to my new friends Aarav, Yash, Rahul, and the other boys. They invited me to play basketball with them. Hard to believe today is my first day in this school, and I succeeded in mingling with everyone here EXCEPT ONE GIRL.😏

I am playing basketball with my friends, and I can see from the corner of my eye that the girls are watching me without blinking.
I can understand their interest.
Well, what to do... I am a handsome guy with a brilliant mind. Sorry if u feel that I am bragging about myself 😄
But these are not my words but those of people around me. Everyone used to say the same about me.

But there's a specific ONE who has not even said a simple 'Hi' to me since the day I came. And I can see that specific ONE is reading some book sitting on the stairs of the B wing's building on the left side.

I came to know that her name is Swati

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Gradually in this 1 month, I observed that she doesn't like talking much, always minds her own business. She talks very less that too with very few people, including my friends Rahul, Yash, and 1 or 2 girls. Hell... She is not even talkative like other girls.. And somehow I kind of like this trait of her (smirking to myself)....... At least she is not like other girls who used to blabber nonsense all the time.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Right now, maths period is going on. The teacher gave her a task to collect the registers of an entire class at the end of the period for checking and to keep them in the staff room.

She came to my seat and said in her sweet voice, " Your register? ". 

 And by the time I could get a proper glimpse of her, she took my register and was gone like lightning speed.

She was arranging the registers properly, and our maths teacher was still present. Everyone was leaving cause it's games period. I was also leaving when the teacher called me and said to help Swati in taking the registers to the staff room. As it was too many in number to handle for one person.
To be honest, my heart literally jumped with excitement to get this chance to be with her, even if it was for 2  minutes only, but the next moment my mind scolded me, saying " Come on... Dude... She doesn't even notice you for once. "

Have you ever wondered why our heart is always interested in knowing that specific person who doesn't have any interest in you ???🤔🤔

I accompanied her and was walking deliberately slower as compared to her to study her. I noted that she is a simple girl, properly dressed in a tidy uniform, unlike some other girls of our class who prefer short skirts, and her hair is made up in one braid perfectly.

Not for once did she look at me, just kept walking straight. And here I am stealing glances at her like a fool.
We reached the staff room & kept the registers on the table. She turned to go when I said "Hi....."
She turned to face me, and I continued
" I didn't get the chance to know you........
(I immediately corrected myself by looking at the frown on her face and realising what I just said)....... I mean......to ask your name"
(Although I already know her name, but just started the conversation, I said)

Seriously, I never felt this nervous while talking to any girl. I was always the confident one.. But really don't know what happened now.
She replied, having an expressionless face, " My name is Swati " and again turned to go, but I interrupted her again by saying " Don't you wanna know my name!!! ".

Well, what else should I say to keep this conversation going...

Why am I getting this feeling that she is gonna break my bones for irritating her?
But she replied, still back facing me, " I already know your name, especially when the crazy girls of not only our class but other classes as well keep on chanting ur name 24×7".

Hmmm..Pretty savage....

I truly felt the urge to laugh 😂 at her sarcastic remark.
Damn.....the girl has a good sense of humor.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It's been 2 months now, we didn't talk much. She only talks to a few. You and I already know that.
Why is she like this???
Whenever I ask or say something, she answers in a monosyllabic manner, not showing any interest in making our talking lengthy.

It's high time I stopped looking at her now and then. Cause these morons friends of mine have noticed my actions. They are getting suspicious now... I am afraid. They might figure out my crush on her.
Wait...... Did I just say My Crush.. 🤨

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Right now, we all boys are exhausted after playing, so we thought of sitting for a while. I was with my friends when my gaze fell on her. She was sitting on the stairs like always, but this time she was not indulging in studying but was talking to a group of cute kids from kindergarten, I guess. They, too, must be having their fun period.

It was the first time I saw her smiling beautifully at them.
"Damn adorable" The words slipped from my mouth by seeing her smile and seems like I committed a crime cause Rahul playfully raised his eyebrows. Saying " What??? "

I quickly changed the topic by saying  "No.... I mean.... The kids...... Are adorable"
But I have this feeling that he has already understood what I don't want him to figure out, cause that idiot just smirked mockingly in return, nodding his head, and I smacked his head playfully.

And to make the matter worse, I tried to hide my smile but failed miserably. Seeing me, all the idiots started saying her name.

I immediately stopped them to say further cause if she were to come to know about this, she would kill me with her own hands.

As one thing I forgot to tell you people is that she is known for her famous anger outbursts and sarcastic remarks.
A week ago, I heard from my friends that she lashed out at one of the girls in our class cause that girl was pairing her name with one of the boys in the science section.
I was laughing when by heard this incident from my friends, and regretted not being physically present to watch my 'Gallant Girl'.
