Chapter 3 - Coincidences

"Hey Clare, are you done with your gulping down?" She was eating unbothered. "Yeah, almost done babe" she answered.

I need to leave from here. I am too nervous to talk to him now and definitely not in front of Clare, it's a risk which I don't want to take. She would blurt out anything and I don't want our first meeting to be awkward and awful. I want to do it right. Maybe he is "the one", you know what I mean. With that, I am not looking good enough to meet this most gorgeous being I have ever laid my eyes on except BTS (ofcourse), like ever in my life.

"Damn" I blurted out seeing him leaving his seat and as per my guess he might be coming towards me. I hope not. He took his bag and coffee and was walking towards me while smiling. God, what am I gonna say if he comes here. Butterflies and flowers are all around me. I shouldn't look at him like a fangirl.My heart is pounding.

Wait a minute, he suddenly turned left and went towards the door and left. "What just happened? Seriously?" I don't know what exactly I am feeling, frustrated that he didn't take the first move and came to me and I don't even know if I am ever going to see him again or happy that I don't have to face any awkward occurrences I am not prepared for.

I looked into my phone. "Clare, are you done now? I have class and as a fact you have too. I can't miss it. So can we go now?" I was definitely frustrated that I might have lost my only chance to meet my mysterious and gorgeous and handsome looking stranger.

"Yeah, I'm done and chill my love. If he is in your destiny or fate, it might not be your last chance to meet that guy whom you were ogling a minute ago. I hope he is handsome. You were literally fangirling over a stranger" she blurted out suddenly while making fun of me. I was literally looking at her face in shock "how the hell did you get to know that and stop making fun of him. I never felt like this and you know that. You are always with me. Have you seen me like this before? And moreover, I thought you were busy eating your food and not focusing on me."

"Babe, I have eyes and how could I miss the rare chance of watching you act strange. You were continuously staring at him and never have I ever seen you behave like this while looking at a stranger. It was refreshing for me. I hope he didn't feel awkward. Maybe that's why he left." She is definitely getting on my nerves now but she has a point. I hope I didn't make him feel uncomfortable.

"Shut up now and let's leave" I slapped her hand softly and got up from the seat. We took our stuff and headed back to the college. My mind was still wandering around that scenario. I hope he didn't find me weird.

We splitted from the main entrance to our different classes. I was totally distracted, but I still had to make my mind clear to focus in the class. I went to the washroom to freshen up. I sprinkled water on my face. Combed by hair. It was a mess due to the wind while coming from the coffee house. "Okay let's focus and leave everything to fate" I said to myself while looking at my reflection. I got out and went to class.

At the end of the lecture, as I was done writing down my notes and got bored, I looked outside the class into the corridor. After sometime, my eyes fell on a guy wearing the same outfit, olive green hoodie, denim jeans and he was holding the same bag as him. I can see his back only. He was talking to a guy. I inclined my seat a little towards the back to have a proper view of his face. I was hoping it was him. "Please almighty, let my guess be true." Yes, it was him. What is he doing here? Is he a student? But I haven't seen him here before. I hope this will be true then I will get enough chances. I inclined a little more but shit, I was about to fall so I stopped. Thank god, I didn't fall. It would have been embarassing. The chair made a noise and everyone was looking at me including him. I looked towards him and our eyes met. He smiled at me again. My heart would burst if he kept doing that. I checked my phone, five minutes more for the lecture to get over. He left while smiling at me. "Don't leave" I could hear my voice pleading inside my mind. I will definitely not lose my chance this time. I will definitely try to get to know his name at least.

Once, the professor dismissed the class, I walked fast towards the way he left in the corridor. Just as I turned right, he was there standing and speaking on his phone. I was walking towards him but suddenly I stopped. I need to check myself first if I am looking okay. I opened my camera, roughly made my fingers go through my hair to untangle the little locks and applied my transparent lip gloss. Now, I look fine which means at least presentable. I went towards him and waved my hands "hey".

Did I shout that too loud?
