maybe it will?

As days passed, with Rose trying to convince me to at least send him a follow request, I finally thought, “no harm in just sending a follow request isn't it?” and did it.

He accepted it, and followed back soon enough, but none of us were starting a conversation thinking it might just end up looking creepy.

We started texting out of random one day, a story reply. And the conversation was kept going. We started to get to know each other slowly, but progressively.

Though we were in the same school, we never showed the courage to meet each other. The maximum we did was random eye contacts, which were made during all the rare times we saw each other in school.

Rose was concerned, she wanted it to progress better, so she decided that we should definitely meet up during the upcoming farewell party of our batch. Though, the party was conducted separately by both girls and boys. It was taking place in the same venue.

“Ven, ill make sure you all finally meet tomorrow somehow!” said rose

“I'm SCARED, no.” I replied.

“He isn't going to eat you, woman.”

“He is pretty nice, but I suck at male interaction, Rose!”

“IT'S GOING TO BE FINE, at least come along with me, ill do the talking!” said Rose, absolutely fed up.

“Wait you know what, we should dress up for the farewell together, it'll be fun”  suggested rose

“you think my parents are going to let me do that?”  I replied.

“I'll make my mom call them, alright? Pls, let's just do this, it'll be so fun!”

“Okay, let's get it.”

The next day we were having our science model exam, yes, the same day as the farewell. It was the last exam, and we couldn't wait to get done with it.

As soon as the exam was over, Rose's dad came to pick us both up, and we went over to her place, to get ready for the farewell.

The excitement was so written on our faces. I was wearing a grape wine coloured sheath dress, whereas Rose was wearing a red cocktail gown.

“What do you think Devis will be wearing today?” asked Rose.

“How am I supposed to be knowing that?” I gave her a look.

“Aren't you excited to be finally meeting him in real?” she returned the look.

“I guess?” I replied, secretly smiling to myself.

“BRO, we are late we need to leave!” said rose and like that we left for the party.

We had the most grand late entrance for the party, the decoration was so classy and elegant, and the food was mouth watering. The venue was definitely well-chosen. And me and Rose were unarguably the most well-dressed duo on there.

After an hour of enjoyment with the girls, we slowly sneaked out. Rose had said earlier that she wants to introduce someone else as well, and that he's coming along with Devis to meet us.

My gut feeling says he's probably Rose's fling.

As soon as we stepped out of our hall, we saw that outside was filled with guys, and all of them were dressed in black and were very tall. I got so anxious, I stepped back and hid next to the wall. It had been ages since I had seen so many guys together all at once, it was overwhelming. I was very nervous.

Ad mist of all the crowd, I saw a tall guy in full black, we shared eye contact for a second before the two of us looked away, I just knew. I just knew, that it had to be him.

My heart started beating like never before, it was as if racing. I could feel it sink in a bit. I don't know if it was out of seeing a lot of them together at once, or if it was the short eye contact I made with him.

Whatsoever, I hadn't experiences anything as such.

The main reason behind Rose wanting to set me up with someone was for me to finally get over my crush, which had absolutely no progress for over 5 years.

Will I finally move on?

I hope so.

“Come with me.” said rose as she pulled me with her.

“W-wait, let me at least take a deep breath” I was just at this point trying to calm myself down.

“Alright Ven, they're waiting for us, we must make it fast.”

“Where are we going?” I asked.

“Next to the elevator.”  with that, we started walking towards where they were waiting. Pacing fast, I was keeping my eyes on the floor as we walked past the swarm of tall boys.

I finally was able to breathe when I saw that we were away from the group. But now, when I looked up… I could see…

Devis.

Looking right at me.

Did I ever mention I am 4'11?
