Will I meet her Again?

After reaching home I was all jittery. I forgot to close the door and my mom went mad at me. She said, " Why do you always forget to close the door, also when you come back home you should at least say I am back".

I replied " Sorry mom. Next time I'll surely be more careful ". Even though I rarely do such mistakes.

She noticed my eagerness and restlessness, but she didn't say a word. She smiled and went back to the kitchen. She might have thought that something good has happened to me that's why I am so excited.

I rushed into my room and started searching her name over Facebook. As I typed Ana there were 1000s of people that popped up with the same name. I searched for her about 15-20 mins but I didn't find her. I was crestfallen. But then I thought if I took the same path which I took today maybe I'll meet her again. Thinking about this I felt a bit happy and went downstairs for dinner.

Next day I went through the same path.

I was cycling as slow as possible but I didn't see her. Next day I repeated the same thing, went through the same path but again I didn't see her. I repeated this cycle for four days but I was not able to find her.

I accepted my fate.

On the fifth day, I stopped at the snack bar. I was having my snack and working on some college presentation.

I was having my favourite hot chocolate while searching for some content for the presentation. As I suddenly turned my neck to see outside, I saw her.

I suddenly got up. I didn't believe it was her. She was going home with a boy and after seeing that I don't know why I kind of felt bad.

Intrinsically, I thought she was with her boyfriend. But I could clearly see she was not happy, moreover, she looked irritated. So I thought should I go and ask her if she is with her boyfriend or not? All those thoughts were running in my minds.

But at last, I thought I should go and thank her for the other day. Basically, I just wanted to talk with her, so that was my reason at that time.

I took my cycle and went behind them. I said " hey Ana, long time no see"

The boy with Ana said " Who are you ? " and He suddenly turned towards Ana asking " who is he?"

I replied, " My name is Kevin, I am just ..." the. Suddenly I thought what should I reply. We just met once so I cannot call myself a friend. While thinking all this I saw that as I arrived there, Ana was a bit relieved.

She suddenly said, "He is my friend!"

I was amazed but then I turned toward the boy and asked:

" Who are you?"

Ana replied " He is our senior from the tennis club. Since I got late due to practice He said he would drop me.

I insisted that there was no need, I can go home by myself but he then said

"I will drop you home. Is there a problem going with me?"

I read the situation. Her senior was definitely hitting her. After listening to all that I said:

" I'll accompany her from here on, you should go continue your practice."

Ana was surprised after hearing all this and the senior was pissed.

I saw him clenching his fists but then in a rude way he said " Do whatever you want! " and left.

Then we started walking towards her home.

I thought it was a dumb move to say something like that in front of Ana.

" Sorry, I didn't mean to interfere," I said that suddenly.

I don't know why I said I'll accompany her even when she was with a senior.

She replied " It's okay, I didn't want to go with him, to begin with. He just forced me to go home with him. Also since he is my senior so I couldn't reject him".

I was not listening to her, I was just thinking why did I interfere with them.

She then said" Hello, are you listening "

Suddenly I recognized that she was saying something to me and I didn't listen to a thing.

I replied " yeah of course "

She said" what are you replying to, are you daydreaming or what"

And then she started smiling.

Literally, I was daydreaming about her.

When I saw her smiling I was relieved because she was not mad at me.

I don't know why I felt like that, but when I saw her smile I felt like my heart would skip a beat.

She then again started saying something but I was not listening to a thing. I was just seeing her adorable smiling face.

" You should laugh more often, you look really cute when you laugh!"

I said that without thinking once.

She suddenly stopped saying and started blushing. She started reacting like she didn't hear me. We then were quiet for a minute. This situation was really awkward so to relax the situation I thought I should ask her, in which college she studies.

I asked, " In which college do you study?"

She replied "Tristate University ".

I was shocked I said" that's the same university in which I go. "

She was also surprised. She said" In which department you are in "

I said, " I am an engineering student ". She replied "I am a commerce student "

She then started telling about her classes, in which building she goes, she also told about the tennis club which she recently joined.

I got to know that both of us were freshmen and I was in a different department so I didn't see her. Also, I didn't join any sports club so I never waited after college hours.

We were talking all the way home about college and clubs then we reached her home. She said" It was nice talking with you. "

I replied " Same here "

I was really happy, the girl whom I was searching on the internet and was waiting over her home route was my college mate and I don't know why today I felt a little closer to her.

I said "bye. See you later " Even though I didn't want to go.

She then replied "Bye "

I went home with a smiling face.

.....

Ana's thoughts

She went inside her home. She was really happy and when she realized this she started blushing.

She then started thinking ' why he came home with me, did read through my face when I was going home with Adam?

Why did he say that I look cute when I smile"

Why was he being so considerate for me? All those thoughts were bubbling inside her mind.
