He felt nothing but mild attraction anyway. I remember when I saw him for the first time 2 years back, I told myself why can't I get a guy like this? It's funny now how I got the chance to get him yet I'm afraid. I sighed and looked at the ceiling. I could hear my parents quarreling downstairs. Hell is more peaceful than my home.I moved on from that and started focusing on my studies. 4 months is left for my college final exam, I'll have to get good result. Then I'll start my university preparations. It's all planned but I can't get myself to focus. I'm tired of this family so much, I want to run away.
Few days passed, it's 2nd day of November. It was still so hot. I took a break from studies and was scrolling through newsfeed when I saw a text from John, "hey! Do you know any good maths teacher?" What? Why is he asking me all of a sudden? Did he think of this reason to knock? I chuckled and replied, "yeah, my maths teacher is Robert ken, you can attend his classes", I said casually. "Nah, I don't like him, seems like a perv."
I laughed slightly and slowly didn't even realize when we started talking so much. It felt so different than before, he was so similar to me in many ways. I soon started liking him. We went out on dates, we studied together. In my 19th birthday, he bought me a typewriter. It was metallic silver color. I was in peace despite all the storms around me.
(New year's Eve)
Like always Eliza and I planned to celebrate New year together. We bought lanterns, foods and drinks. Eliza lived alone so twe had no parents problem. We prepared all the food and climbed to rooftop to see fireworks. When the clock struck 12 fireworks filled up the sky, it was a mesmerizing view. Eliza yelled,"HAPPY NEW YEAR!!" She was quite drunk from wine. Fireworks glistened in her blue eyes and I was happy that I had a friend. I received a text, it was from John. Probably wishing me Happy New year. I opened the text and was flabbergasted. It wasn't a usual text. He asked me out... he asked me to be his girlfriend. I was stunned. I didn't know what to reply. Eliza noticed me and look at my phone and gasped. She yelled loudly, "HE DID IT OMG!!!"
"You knew!!?"
"Hell yeah I did!" She giggled.
I wasn't quite ready for a relationship, I liked him but I was afraid I'll lose him too. I took a deep breath and replied "I'd love to". Let's take another risk.
