3 Then and Now

Well starting from today I will be describing my experiences now and back at that time when we met initially.

It's November 26th already and the cold shrugged the entire college. I caught a severe cold. And the college team had added one extra class for them to finish the syllabus.

You know what extra class is in this cold. It's as good as Hell. But it was different for me. To me it was bliss. Finally I got an extra computer science class where we would sit together.

I went there. To my surprise he sat beside a different guy as if he wanted to avoid me. It happened many times before during normal theory classes, but at least not in the lab. I took a different place and sat. Deep down I felt really grumpy.I started recalling the first day of our computer lab together...

My friend Lacy and I were giggling and laughing as we entered the practical class. He too laughed looking at me telling me, " Here, come and sit beside me, we are partners after all. " To be honest I am a shy type. But I went and sat there.

Then he started asking me questions relating to programming. I had already some experience in it so I could explain it to him. Soon after that we skipped informal discussions about movies -films, anime, books, and music. It was quite fun.Through our discussion I discovered he doesn't like to watch anime at all. It was not shocking to me but I wanted a companion with whom I could happily discuss that. Sigh not even Lacy likes anime. In fact she hates the term itself.She hinted once that his boyfriend likes that. Maybe I'm jealous of it, Who knows?

Our other group partner's name is Haruto Saneka. He is Japanese. He is a great typer.

I remember while teaching Sky one program he would complete typing 3 programs in a row. My hand was on his while teaching him programming. It was as a friend . It was a great experience of course but the first time it was with a guy. But now ever since that incident he shoves me as if I were a stranger. After the computer class got over I got out gritting my teeth but with an artificial smile on my face.

After that while paying the fees, I bumped into him again. I don't know why, when I don't want to see him he appears and when I want to, he is beyond my reach.

When he stood behind me, I said," Why are you standing here? This is the girls line. "

He replied, " It's gender equality. I can stand wherever I want. "

Actually the thing with me is that if you want to avoid me I will avoid that person like until I'm out of their sight of they are mine. But no matter what, I can neither get rid of him nor get closer to him...

Then during the break time he came to me. He asked me about the practical. I gave it to him. The matter should have ended then and there. But no. Everything goes the other way round when I'm with him.

After he took it and went , he came back in a few seconds. I can't understand what's with him . At first he was not very popular among girls. Only I used to love chatting with him. But gradually I observed, the girls were like honey bees staying by him. I felt like hitting those girls with a bamboo stick. I don't know why?

Had it been any other guy, I wouldn't have cared about them in the slightest but I don't know what had happened to me that I cared so much regarding the girls around him. He was laughing and smiling with them. I don't know whether I should be happy or sad that he is happy but my heart ached at that moment..I guess he is the most popular amongst the girls.

In fact once, my bestie, Lacy who had a bf ,out of laughter hugged him tight.. Seeing that I had stopped laughing but put on an exterior makeup of a smile. And stood there thinking "How dare you? He's mine" but that makes no sense since I'm not his gf…
