4 4. The first talk

It was only Aria, me, and the guy and his friend left at the busstop and his friend came to us and asked our name and our departments. When i said i was from Tax department,the guy was surprised and looked at his friend.

"Don't you know her Aslan?"

"I haven't checked on girls. I am sorry."- he said a bit ashamed.

Both Aria and Zain started to laugh at this. Two people from the same class not even knowing each other was a joke to them. I tried to keep in mind his name and I felt it's a rare name and I pretty much liked it.

"What's your name?"- Aslan asked me a bit nervously.

"Tia."- I said out and then our bus came and i smiled at him and went in.

In the bus Aria was asking me how was the first talk and i grinned at her saying he isn't my crush or anything to feel something at the first talk. I never gave much of an importance to him and that meeting rather than letting him know that a girl like me exists in his class. It was quite awkward for me to intoduce myself to him rather than letting him know about me on his own.

The whole night I had him on my head and i knew he would be fast asleep without even giving me a second thought. The next day, i hurried to college to tell Zara, Jiya and Tiza about the thing happened cause of Aria and they were like, it's a good start. I was like why do you guys say this. He is not my crush or something, i still wanna know if that bag is original.

After sometime, he came in and i suddenly got butterflies in my stomach. Forget the butterflies, i could feel the whole damn zoo inside. I saw him looking at me for a second while he entered and i was like "Ohh!! wow..". It gave me a heart ache and i skipped a beat and slipped from the world for a giffy. I soon got back to senses and i realised i had a smile on my face for no reason. Sir came in and started to take attendance. I heard sir calling his name for the 1st time.

"Aslan sha"- sir called out.

"Present sir."- a thin voice responded.

His sound is so thin but it sounded flat and i had his voice fed inside my head.

Soon, the period got over and sir went out and we had a break. I kept my book in bag and tried to stretch myself and then i saw him waving me a 'hi' and walking out. Zara and Jiya immediately looked at me to see me blush and then started the headache. They never missed a second to tease me and i was like 'fine fine, i will take it all in'.

Evening when me and Zara went down to our gate, I just heard someone rushing and I thought it would be some seniors. I quickly turned back to see whether something is going to collapse or run into me. I found Aslan standing in front off me with high heart beat rate which made my body feel so weak. He gave a smile and and stood shy.

"Can you please say your name? It skipped off my head. I am sorry"- he asked miserably.

"I am Tia."- I told him blankly and walked away.
