epi 2

We reached the college just in time...

"Come with me" I said as I led him towards my locker .

"Here you go" .I handed over my extra uniform that I had."

"Try it on. Don't know if it would fit you..."

He took the uniform, his face still covered with his tears...

He remained silent for some time and said " thank you so much, if you hadn't intervened, then I don't know what would have happened...."

"It is OK boy ... nothing much... I didn't do anything "

"No..no ... I need to thank you properly for saving me...".

" Now if you really want to thank me then you could buy me today's lunch... what say??...are you ok with that???...."

"Ohhh!! Sure!! I would love to"

"Then meet me at the canteen during our lunchtime today"

Suddenly I saw a boy in a skating board coming towards us in full speed..

"Hey!!!! Watch out !!!!"... I pulled Reggie closer to me so that he wouldn't bump into the guy.

His face was close to my chest .... I could hear his heavy breathing..... his body felt so thin...

"Uhh .... sorry!!! I didn't mean to do that ... that guy.... he ..he was coming so fast...and ....and I thought he would bump into you....."☺

"Uhhhh Mm mm..... it's ok ....." He said avoiding my eyes.

"Ok ...ok then , see you at the canteen...☺"

With that I left him there , I sped fast so that I could avoid the embarrassment...

Why??why in the world did I do that ??

Seriously ,something has happened to me...

........

I was feeling sleepy after all those hours of lecture..... I felt listening to classes weren't my cup of tea .... I had other plans... I liked taking photos and enjoying life as it was...

It was lunchtime... I had almost forgotten about the junior…

There in the corner of the canteen, I saw him sitting alone ,looking into his phone ...

Well, I suppose he hasn't made friends yet...Hm mm... I thought

I went towards him and sat opposite to him.

"Hey junior!! What's up ?? Why are you sitting alone???"

"Uhh... Hi.... u mm.. I wanted to treat you a proper lunch, so I reserved this place for us ...""

Hhhhaaa?? Ok... Nice..... but next time it would be better if I could meet your friends too. Well, I don't know if there would be a next time I guess". I said smiling at him.

"Can I have lunch with you tomorrow also... it's just that I haven't made friends here yet "

I looked at him and paused for a moment before saying "

"Well boy , you can't have lunch with me the whole time right? You need to make friends... you need to communicate.... you need to socialize...."

It seemed like a parent giving advice to his son

His face went down....

"I didn't mean that....it's just that I wanted to know you more.. I wanted to become more close to you...."

Did I hear that right???he wanted to know about me more ??? He wanted to become closer to me??😶

I didn't know what to say to this... so I kept myself busy with the food..

We didn't talk much as we ate the food

When we were done with the food , I stood up.

"Gotta go now ... I have classes.. Bye 👋..." .i looked up and felt his face seemed unhappy...

I didn't know why ,but I couldn't leave him like that.

" Hey ,do you always come alone in the morning????. I mean ,I could accompany you if you want me to ..."

His face lit up..." yes I would love to come along with you"

"Then meet me at the round square sharp 8 in the morning...and we can come together... "

"Mmm... ok...." He said with his tiny voice

And with that I left him and walked towards my class.

I must be nuts??? Why am I getting involved with this boy again and again ?? We will be good friends... yes ,friends.... but something says not.....if this goes on .... May be more than friends...

Wait... am I having feelings for him??? What do you think????
