His Lingering Smile

We had our paper and of course I did not do well, I was still thinking about yesterday’s incident with Jay. I tried

to shake it off, but I just couldn’t shake it off!

But Jay was acting like nothing had happened. So, maybe it was all in my head and I should stop thinking about it. Whole exam week was awkward for me but seems like a week was all I needed.

I am better now; I don’t think much about that incident now. Jay and I, we are back to how we were before. Later, that evening, we went to a house party to celebrate the end of term. And it was in that house party where I met her

again, and this time like expected she was still wearing yet another Troye Sivan’s Shirt. It was easy for me to spot her. She was sitting alone holding a cup but not really drinking, I suppose, I was staring at her for too

long, our eyes met, and I was expecting her to return my smile, but I got this frown which screamed “EWWWW”.

I suppose, she did not recognize me.So, of course I had to go near her and clear the confusion, she was

startled and tried to run when I approached but I didn’t let her. I suppose you could say, I was a little aggressive so I just blurted out my name in an awkward way! She just said,” I know” and strutted off. I was confused and wondered

about all the possible reasons why she ran away, but I just could not think of any, I did everything right, I thought we had connection. I could not get any sleep that night I kept thinking about it, but I could not think of anything

that I might have done wrong. It just bothered me, I wanted to get answers, So I asked about her around the University. It was quite easy to locate her,

“Short, 120 cm with a bob haircut, always wears Troye Sivan’s shirt,” and boom I found her. I waited outside

of her department and when I saw her coming down the stairs, my heart was literally trying to jump out of my body. She saw me waiting outside, and I saw her making efforts to escape but I just couldn’t let run away again. I needed

her to give me answers. I sincerely believe in our connection.

I am bobby and I like this girl, but she has left me with so many questions. So, of course I am not going to just

let her slip by without even trying a little to talk to her. I ran towards her and tried to talk to her. She was startled and stopped.  And finally she asked me what I was trying to do there. I tried to explain to her that I just wanted to know why she ran away like that after seeing me. I told her that I sincerely though we had a connection and I caught her blushing for a fleeting second but she was back to being indifferent towards me. She told me it was a good first meet but now that was over.

She said, “We should not talk or be seen together anymore.”

I asked, “why?” I mean, I wanted to talk to her, and she seems to feel the connection aswell.

 So, what was wrong with the situation? Why should we not be seen together?I asked her if she had boyfriend,

but she didn’t so why not?  She just left me with more questions and ran away again. I did not know what to do, I went back to my room and just lied down on my bed and tried to process all that had happened.

Maybe I was being a little too insensitive towards her, So, I decided to give her some space and see how things will come around. I really wanted her to come around.

When Jay came in, he had this weird smile on his face.Running after Mia had distracted me enough to get over what had happened with Jay. It was quite easy to talk to him now. I asked him how his papers went,

and he simply gave me a smirk, So that implied he did well. I really wanted to talk to him about what happened with Mia. I wanted to understand why Mia was acting that way towards me, and the only person I thought was

comfortable to talk to was Jay, so I approached him to talk. He was quite comfortable, it surprised me, and He

listened to me though all the nitty gritty details about my meet with Mia.

He listened to it all,but I could see a lingering smile on his face.
