We would be seen almost all the time together...I wanted to be more than friends but I was scared to meddle with the present one... I knew deep down, I have to do something about it...
I was getting so use to her involvement in my daily routine... I would start my day with ' good morning' , and end my day with ' good night' text from her... I would always look forward to her texts silently.....
But recently due to her experiments project we hardly hang out anymore... to which, somehow I started to feel like we were drifting apart...
Then it happened...
' Hmmmm... it's more than two days in a row now she hadn't texted me, nor had I seen her in the college and the worst!! I can't even reach her through her phone!!...
Did she sniff out my feelings for her,?? Is she avoiding me???
But I remember holding back my feelings as much as I could, she wouldn't have known... ' the train of thoughts in my head started to speed by....
So, she gets bored and then leaves without any notice?? I thought she would be different. I have done nothing to make her mad, why such arrogance !! I started to get agitated. My insecurities were fueling my anger.
The only way to find out, was to confront her... So, after class I went to her place...
I stood outside her house... but then hesitated to ring the bell... ' What if I was just over cautious' I stop to think... but I have to do this, I need to know whats wrong... its killing me slowly from within.... I can't take it again....
*Tring tring*
I built up my courage and rang the bell... no response?? hmmm... maybe she is not there... I turned to go back heavy heart...
" Hey Ash! " Michelle called out.
I was angry at her sudden relax behavior that I wanted the answer right then and there.
" Stop your hey, and tell me why you are acting weird, do you have a problem suddenly? " I was almost close to shouting.
" Ah,... eh.. nice to see you too, why don't you come inside. " She said.
" Huh, fine... but I want answers.. " I demanded and followed her behind.
That was when I saw!!!
She was limping!!!
I forgot everything I said seconds before and asked.
"What is wrong with your feet?? "
She sat down on her chair and said...
" Now you are taking something I can catch on... " She laughed.
" Stop joking and tell me what happened!!Did you visit the doctor? " I was panicking.
" Hey, cool down.. one question at a time... I felt down in the bathroom and my phone got soak in water, due to which my phone is inoperable... and yes, I have visited a doctor. Long story short, its just an ankle sprain. " She reassure me.
" And what were you asking me before entering here? " She ask me..
Thats when I realise I was over thinking things,and I turned beet red...
" Me having a problem?? " She continued to tease more...
" You think so lowly of me?? " She added...
I was quite ... I didn't know what to say... Its like when people say, 'digging ones own grave..'
" Eh, I was worried and... eh. over reacted.. to the.. eh..... situation. " I mumble lowering my head.
