He was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans. He was clutching his bag to his chest .He had earphones draped behind his neck. He looked at peace. The last seat was filled with people, but to me he stood out. It was love at first sight.
How do I know? I felt a sharp pain in my chest. Not pain to be exact. A feeling that someone is wringing my heart and squeezing out all the blood from it.
Vivi nudged me. "You too?"
"Yes" I sighed and put my forehead to the pole I was holding onto.
I turned my head, still close to the pole to take another look at the guy. Good chance that he goes to my college. Since when did this local college accept handsome guys? Not that I am complaining.
It's funny how in a crowd you will always find the person you are looking for. The handsome guy closed his eyes, clearly enjoying whatever he was listening to. Or maybe he is sleeping. I dont know.
You know what would have been perfect? Him leaning his head against the window, romantic song playing through the earphones. He looks up, and he sees me. Our eyes meet. We smile at each other and it's the beginning of a new romance.
But some guy was already by the window seat. A nerdy guy. One look at him and you could tell he was a nerd. The sweater over shirt, Hair down. He doesn't stand out much. But kind of handsome in his own way. The guy who is sitting on my dating line.
"Pfft",as soon as I made the sound, he looked up.
He heard that. So Embarrassing!
How do I tell him that I wasn't disgusted by him. I was just cooking up things in my head and he was interfering with it . And I am totally unreasonable. And god, What am I doing ?
I looked away pretending to be looking at the stop. And thankfully , I was reaching my college .
For pros like us, By pros I mean the local kids , we knew this is kind of the last stop and we have ample time to get down, so no one really stands near the door.
But these two kids, The muscled guy and the nerdy guy, got up from their seat and stood near the door.
"They are not from here," The whole bus kind of echoed the thoughts at the same time.
I looked at Vivi and smiled a devilish smirk.
College is going to be so much more motivational.
We got off on our stop and started to make our way to the main building inside the campus.
Both the guys walked in front of us. They were friends. Muscled guy talked to the other guy but he kept on nodding his head. Clearly an extrovert adopted the introvert. This guy was handsome and kind. My eyes started sparkling. Vivi's too. We didn't need to speak to communicate our thoughts.
We are in the same wave length.
Mine was the psychology department. Vivi was in the Arts Section.
Handsome guy was walking in front of me to the same section. YAY!
Nerdy guy took off to Arts section. Vivi was right behind.
She turned back and winked at me. I gave a thumbs up.
I think, College will be a lot more fun than I thought.
Not bad. Not bad at all.
