They both were walking back to the bus stand on their way back home from school, they both were mostly quiet on the streets, both were silent and thinking about how to make the first approach to the girl, whose face Mill hadn't seen till, at that moment Mill thought of searching Isla's Instagram, the silent was break and Mill cried "heyy we could search her insta id, what do you say? We could get plenty of details there, I hope she doesn't post with a mask on." Jr. immediately searched for his phone in every pocket he had on his outfit and finally, he found the phone in his bag. Mill suddenly came close to him, and both were peeping down on Jr's phone, Jr opened his Instagram and searched "Isla" Many IDs came on their search tab but they could see one particular ID, Mill immediately recognized by the profile pic, he cried "heyy Jr. look it's her's, I know, see that the same eyes I have been talking about." Mill knew as he had a crystal clear image that it was the eyes he had seen, in which he drowned, they opened the ID immediately and were disappointed as it was private but Mill found the first green flag there, he was disappointed but happy to see that she had her id private, Mill was glad to know that she was a private person. Jr. cried with disappointment "It's not public bro, but at least we can see her face." They opened the profile pic and started gazing at the screen, she was all of that, that Mill imagined, she was tan and had dark brown big eyes, she was smiling in the profile pic and Mill observed a dimple on her right cheek, Mill wasn't even closing his eyelids, his eyes were not leaving the screen, Jr. was watching all of this and was imagining when Mill will get the opportunity to see her in person, what he'll do? Will his eyes even move away? Jr. was excited for Mill to make his first approach, Jr. knew Mill was a shy person and was afraid of talking to girls, actually not girls, Jr. understood the tendency of boys, he knew that boys can talk to any girl in this world easily and frankly if its not happen to be there crush. Now Jr. was waiting for Mill to move his eyes from Isla and get serious about some planning but Mill wasn't even bothering to close his eyelids, Jr. got irritated and shouted slowly "Mill will you please take your eyes off her and get serious?" Mill suddenly came back to his senses and replied "Yes yes yes…. What happened I mean what should we do next?" Jr. himself didn't know what to do and cried "We'll see that." But Mill had it clear what to do, he opened his phone immediately and searched for her ID in his Instagram and requested to follow her, Jr. stared at the whole scene and was excited to know if she'll accept the request or not after that they started walking towards the bus stand, they reached the bus stand and there they encountered Zihas, Zihas was staring directly in Mill's eyes, Mill started staring back and it was obvious that he was getting angry, he was about to say something but at the moment Jr. interrupted "Mill leave it. It's not important right now, let him do what he does dude, he'll try to trouble us." Mill listened moved his eyes and started breathing high to limit that adrenaline rush, they both stood quietly there and waited for their bus, Mill didn't expect his first day to go like this, he never imagined he'd see someone like Isla with a mask and will get mad like this, he was happily imagining the moment of when he'll talk to her, he imagined every fantasy he had ever with her. Oh my! You would have never seen any teenager in love like he was, but anyway, he didn't accept it was love by then. A normal high school kid who has had a breakup and feels heartless every day was feeling love that day, even though he had forgotten what love feels like, what it tastes like, what love smells like but Mill was experiencing every bit of it. Sometimes we don't take love seriously at that immature age but some kids do know how to love, Mill was one of them, he knew how to embrace and take care of love.........….. As they were waiting for the bus, the bus came and they got in, Mill was happy though confused, seeing Isla was the best part of his day but he refused to accept that it could happen, somewhere in his mind he believed that he'll not be happy at the end, he thought that it was just a crumb of sweet god was throwing at him to finally throw his net. Jr. was quiet too but he was excited inside, he believed that it was a child's play for Mill to get a girl, actually any girl. Jr. knew that Mill was famous, had a good personality, and was famous, these are enough in high school to get a girl, but Jr. was of course thinking childish. Mill knew the real meaning of love even at that age. The bus stopped, and they jumped out and stood to say goodbye to each other, Jr. guaranteed "Mill, you don't worry bro, I'll get you a full proved working plan by tomorrow." Mill laughed and said, "It'll not be needed, I'll take care of it." Jr. agreed "Okay…" Mill started walking. He reached his home. He cried "I am home." No response came, he thought maybe everyone was asleep or no one was at home, he searched the rooms, but there was no one home, and he wondered what to do now? He walked to his room, lay on his bed, and opened his Instagram, he was suddenly shocked by what he saw, he saw that his request had been accepted and he even had a follow back from her, his happiness reached its peak and he was so happy that he closed his phone to his heart and was smiling heavily with white big teeth, he then observed that there were few posts on her Instagram, he was excited to look into it. He immediately opened her ID and scrolled down to look at the pics, his face was tomato red, he'd never seen someone like Isla ever, not even his ex was this beautiful to him, he couldn't really recall what her ex looked like in comparison to Isla. He started scrolling through the pics, he was very careful while scrolling, he liked the latest post but didn't even touch the heart on other previous post, he didn't want Isla to think that he was stalking her, he knew the rule, he knew it is easy to make a girl fall when you are careless about her. He was gazing at her pics and was unconscious physically, he was in a dreamy world with her, he couldn't erase the prints of her eyes from his mind, even though he saw her in a mask but it was clear to him that she was the one he'll admire, he started shying in his own, lying in his bed, by then a voice run down all the walls of the house "Mill here I am, you are home or not?" it was uncle Samluk, he was home, Mill responded "yes I am home uncle, is there something to eat?" Mill ran down to him and asked "Mom cooked lunch or not?" Uncle replied, "Yes she has, check the fridge." Mill opened the refrigerator and got his lunch for himself, he started eating but still, he was peeping into his phone and blushing, uncle got the hint and asked "Who is the girl kid?" Mill got confused and shocked and replied in a hurry with fumbling "n\what girl?...there is no girl, I was seeing today's homework." Uncle laughed and cried "Mill there is nothing to hide from me, I went from your age too, I know and understand, tell me" Mill was feeling embarrassed a bit and cried shyly "Ummmm look there she is, she is new and I saw her today since then I couldn't forget her" Uncle Samluk cried "nice taste kid, you know when I was of your age, even I liked tan girls with dark eyes and hairs." Mill smiled shyly and cried "But I didn't talk to her, how should I approach her uncle?" Samluk looked at him with a side eye and cried "Common dude just go and say hi, you can ask her to hang out sometime." Millan was feeling troubled, and he cried "Is it really that easy? I don't think so, I would melt in front of her, I don't think I'll be able to say a word." Uncle Samluk laughed softly and cried "Mill I know you can do this. Now you'll go to tomorrow at the class and you'll say hi to her. Okay" Mill cried hesitantly "Okay I will"
Mill was getting ready for school, it was early morning, and he was practicing the hundred verses he made of saying "hi" in front of the mirror. It was almost time to leave for school, Mill was talking to himself in front of the mirror "Yes you can do it buddy, Mill yes yes… you can do it, just be confident, straight, I'll go and I'll say hi. Huff best of luck to you dude." He reached down and had his breakfast, as he was leaving, his uncle cried "Just be confident Mill, best of luck." Mill replied "Thank uncle" Her mother stared at Samluk and asked "What was that about" Samluk with a soft smile replied "Nothing…just wishing him for his second day you know." Mill reached the bus stop, and Jr. was already waiting there for him, Jr. was excited to tell him the plan, and he was about to say something "Heyy Mill! I got an idea tod…" but was stopped by Mill and Mill suddenly replied, "I am going to say hi to her today." Jr. out of nowhere was motivated suddenly and cried "Yes dude yes, that's my buddy talking." They reached the school, they encountered Prof. Brij, and they greeted excitedly "Good morning sir" Prof. replied "Good morning kids." They ran and stood at the classroom gate, they were waiting patiently for Isla to come, after a few moments Jr. saw her coming from the right end of the corridor, and he cried "Mill there she is." Mill turned towards her, he was immediately melted, his confidence was into the earth, and he tried to gather some courage, Jr. motivated him "Mill common dude, you can do it" Mill said to himself "Nothing Mill just go, be confident, you have practiced everything, just go and say hi, just go and say hi….." Mill then started walking towards Isla, he reached her and stood in front of her, she paused and looked at him, she was still wearing the mask today. Mill stuttered with a soft cough and said "Hi, I am Millan, I guess you are new here, right?"
