The One I've Loved 20 I Want To Come

After giving my speech I walked towards Austin .

Thankyou so much , I said with a bright smile on my face .

You don't have to thank me , it was you who gave speech confidently ,I just tried to motivate you , he said placing both of his hands in his pockets .

Then thankyou for motivating me. I said and giggled .

The pleasure was all mine , he replied winking his right eye and moving his red lips slightly upwards .

By the way , when are you going to give the speech ? , I asked .

I'm not , he replied .

What do you mean by you are not ?, aren't you partic.i.p.ating ?, I asked him .

No , I'm not partic.i.p.ating in this compet.i.tion but I will be partic.i.p.ating in Q.A.E.S, I was bored sitting in the cla.s.s so I came here , he said .

Wow , that's amazing , I said widening my eyes as I was amazed .

It was rare for our school management to select a student directly for Q.A.E.S . But the guy standing in front of me was not a normal guy . The entire school knew him not only for his good looks but also for his exceptional capabilities and outstanding personality. So it was obvious that our school management would select him even though he didn't partic.i.p.ate in elocution.

He chuckled looking at the way I replied to him .

We looked at the crowd who were busy preparing their speech .

I felt as if only he and I were standing and talking there , when I looked around I saw people talking loud .All this while ,it was only his voice that echoed in my ears .

We both were silent for few seconds , I didn't want him to say a bye and leave , I wanted to talk to him more , I don't know when I would get a chance to talk to him again ,I thought .

I'm going to the canteen to have juice , do you want to come with me ? , he asked me .

Yes , I replied as soon as he asked me without a second thought .

What kind of question was that , why wouldn't I want to come , I obviously want to come , I can come anywhere if it is you, you just have to ask me .I told this in my mind while looking at his back and following him towards the canteen .

We ordered two gla.s.ses of citrus limetta ,my favourite juice .

There were only few people in the canteen when we went as it was not lunch hour , we paid and took our gla.s.ses and then headed towards an empty table which was near window .

All this while we spoke about our teachers and our cla.s.smates .

I wanted to ask him about Veronica as I was curious , I wanted to make sure if he had a crush on her or no .

I looked at him while he was busy looking at our school ground through the window .

I took a sip from my gla.s.s and asked him if he likes any girl from his cla.s.s .

He tilted his head and replied with a no after pausing for a second .

Yyyaaaayy, that means he doesn't have a crush on Veronica , I thought .

My little heart somersaulted to his reply .

He looked at his watch and told me that he had to go and meet his cla.s.s teacher to which I gave a nod and told him to go .

He drank his juice in a gulp and placed his gla.s.s on the table and thanked me for giving him company .

I shook my head and said that I had a great time .

He gave a smile and walked hurriedly towards second door and left .

Our canteen have two doors , we came inside through the first door while Austin left through the second door .

When I asked him if he liked any girl from his cla.s.s, I wanted him to ask me the same question so that I could tell him ,you are my crush , but he walked away without asking me anything , I wonder what would've happen if I told him that I like him on that day . Things would've been different I guess.
