In a certain lounge
....
"What the hell are you doing bro?" Alexander asked "You are supposed to be playing her, not asking her if her name is Serena. That is so wrong. Like I was expecting you to do something mind-blowing but you asked her if her name was Serena and told her that you will see her around? What the he....." he ranted and stopped because he suddenly felt a chill down his spine from a certain someone.
"Although I never agree with this idiot over here.." Kelvin spoke up because he knew Zarin had scared the shit out of Alexander"But I think what he is saying is right. We are playing her not trying to..."Kelvin was interrupted by Zarin.
"Someone is coming "Zarin's words were although short but on point because as soon as he said that someone came barging in.
"Ohh... I'm sorry I didn't mean to walk in on your conversation. I'm really sorry but I really want to talk to senior Zarin that's if you both don't mind."Serena smiled at the trio.
"Of course. We were also just about to leave right now so have a good Convo."Alexander grinned and left with Kelvin.
"So what do you want to say?" Zarin took the initiative to start the conversation first.
"Senior Z ..."
"Don't call me senior when no one else is around "
"Z.... Zarin, why are you talking to me? I'm not saying you should not talk to me or something like that but I'm just confused. We've been in this school for almost two years and you have never noticed me but all of a sudden you start talking to me. I know this sounds weird but I'm just confused. A lot of people are telling me that you might have a crush on me and others are saying that you are playing me. I'm just curious and confused." Serena said everything on her mind at once in an increased pace.
"I'm not playing you or something like that. I just wanna be your friend but if you don't want to be my friend, then it's ok. I don't mind " He said pretending to look downhearted.
"You wanna be my friend? But why?" She asked looking confused which made Zarin chuckle.
"Can't I wanna be your friend?" he asked answering her question with a question.
"Ohhh....." She said looking like she was contemplating on it which made Zarin look amused "Ok so if you want to be my friend then I guess..... friends then?" She asked while bringing her hands indicating that she wants to shake his hands.
He shook her hands and replied with a 'Hmmm' because he was to lazy to speak. After they shook hands an awkward silence was left within the lounge.
Serena was cracking her heads for something to say while Zarin didn't mind the silence because he was too lazy to speak anyway.
He felt like he had spoken a thousands words so he didn't mind this awkward silence.
"I.. I don't know what to say, Zarin"Serena finally said to break the silence.
"Repeat what you just said"
"I.. don't know what...."
"Not that, I meant say my name again"
"Z... Zarin"She said shyly as she blushed
"For some reason it sounds nice to hear you say my name like that, anyway you can stop blushing and go" Zarin said while chuckling.
"I'm not blushing." She mumbled to herself before she finally left.
"What an interesting girl" he said as he smiled.
