When I had completed my diploma, my parents made me join a degree college though I was bad in academics.
They believed coaching would help improve my grades.
The first week of the 6th Semester, my gaze turned towards this girl, and I continued to look at her for a while before I introduced myself to the teacher.
Being from an all-boys school, this Engineering college was like a cheat code.
But because I was from an all-boys school, I didn't know how to talk to a girl.
The guys from class talking to them so effortless, and I was just brainstorming conversation starters in my head.
One day, I was the first to solve the problem.
That kinda grabbed everyone's attention, and I sat there giving awkward smiles.
She smiled at me too, and man, that smile!
I was daydreaming about going on brunches with her.
Two months passed by and we hadn't spoken anything other than subjects, college, and teachers.

When I was about to sit, she reached out to the tray in my hand and gestured me to sit next to her.
That was one of the most memorable moments in my life.
What do you do when your best friend is crying? There are a few persons whom you never wish to see with tears in their eyes. I attended college as usual. It was a regular Saturday afternoon; the cultural activities were in full swing. More deafening cheers accompanied loud music from the auditorium. I kept calling her from half an hour; she did not answer. She was nowhere to be seen too. I inquired few of our mutual friends if they had seen her around. "She is always with you," said one. "Heard you guys fought," giggled another. "What rubbish ya! They're best friends, they wouldn't have fought," argued a third. I smiled and left the place, still searching. There she was sitting in a corner, engaged busily on her phone. This pissed me off. I walked up to her and said, "Answer your phone." She looked up; her eyes were teary and red. "You crying?" I asked in disbelief. "No," she said. Her voice was thick. "Is it beca...
