Lovelogue – High School Final Year

Continuation...

Final year started with lots of threats. I started getting free advice from everyone I met. All my classmates already started allotting slots for the whole year on finishing the subjects and giving mock exams. I don’t know why people make such long schedule which is hard to keep up in the first place.

In our class there was a fashion of tagging each girl and boy; least bothered if they like it or not. We even had some severe boring counseling sessions with the staff several times for this behavior. All the juniors were scared to step into our class. Leave alone students, the staff who handle primary and secondary classes seldom visited our class. We were gaining reputation. The whole school hated us, but who cares.

I was not tagged to anyone for a long time. There was this girl who used to sit in a corner and my friends always tried to make progress towards her. I never noticed her all these days for what ever reasons. Most of her friends were opted out of science and were doing arts. She was kind of left alone.

We play a lot of pranks. I used to pretty cautious all the time, but one noon after lunch. Everyone rose to greet the teacher who started his session. One of my friends from behind laid the soiled paper wrap in which he had packed pooris for lunch on my seat. I didn’t notice and sat on the whole thing and didn’t realize for the whole session and everyone started laughing out loud as the session was over and the teacher was out. I rose to thank the teacher and the wrap was stuck on my butt. I stood there embarrassed for a some time and started chasing all those guys who sat behind me.

But the damage was already done. It got dried and made some yellow batches on my pant and the news had spread so much that the whole class started noticing that. I was so embarrassed and had to spend 3 hours in the restroom trying to clean it and drying it.

Out of all those laughs, I could clearly distinguish this laugh. I saw her eye to eye giving me ‘poor baby’ look and laughing.

Her eyes were close to tears because of laughing and her eyes went as small as her jaw bones were exercising a lot lately. She had a button nose and wide lips perfectly split to show her white glistening teeth. Am I exaggerating… Doesn’t matter though… :=)))

She started smiling at me from then on when ever she saw me after that. I got so impatient and confronted her once. She said I didn’t smile at you and bent a little to check my butt and smiled again. That’s it… I couldn’t take it anymore.

I said, ‘Be ready to shed tears in sometime soon.’ and left from there.

This prank has caught up like wildfire and everyone started saving their lunch wraps and sent a guy to the restroom daily. I did the same the thing to the guy who did that to me though.

Girls in our class were never game to all these silly pranks. But the day had come when her friends had planned to do the same to her.

The first session after lunch was over and the guy next to me passed the soiled wrap to the girls’ side. I was just seeing what was happening, but was not that interested in whatever was going on. The guy next to me whispered, your girl is going to get it today.

I didn’t understand. I was still trying to figure out who my girl is. I saw her friends trapping her. She was standing and discussing something pretty animatedly to the girls before her. The chance was utilized and the trap was laid perfectly. Initially I was appreciating the act and slowly my focus felt on her lips. I don’t know why but I couldn’t take my eyes off her lips.

She was almost done and was about to sit. I decided, I would never allow this to happen to her and all of a sudden I screamed her name at the top of my voice. The whole class came to a stand still and it was so silent like a prayer hall and everybody eyes fixed on me. She turned and noticed the wrap on her seat. She cursed her friends and threw it in the trash. She looked at me and my eyes were transfixed on her lips and I could see them beautifully splitting into a smile at me. I could hear a romantic song in the background.

It was soon interrupted by the dirty and murderous glances from all my other classmates. I broke the code. I broke the code of pranksters. There is no way to escape this. Luckily the teacher entered for starting the next session.

After the school was over, she caught me on my way back to home and asked me why I helped her.

I said, ‘I don’t know.’

She replied, ‘Friends?’ I nodded and left controlling all the excitement inside.

Next day, she entered the class and the whole class started repeating my name. Even though I liked it, I acted as if I am protesting against it and was waiting for her reaction. She blushed and went and sat in her seat. I felt like a feather being caressed by a nice cold breeze.

From that day on, the same story continued. I pseudo protested and she blushed.

Friends are the best matchmakers in the world.

In the English class, I was so lost and was day dreaming about her. The teacher got so irritated and asked me to explain the class whatever I followed till now on Oliver Twist. I had finished this story sometime back as I like reading stories a lot.

Everybody was listening and the teacher started cursing me and started forecasting my future, but my only goal was to impress her. I gathered all the courage and started explaining about Oliver Twist. I spoke non stop for 30 mins and finally finished it. Some of my friends had a good nap in the meantime. But suddenly, one guy started clapping and it had caught up and even my friends in sleep woke up and started clapping mostly not knowing what is happening around.

It was foolish of me to think she would be impressed by a 30 min long speech. She was among the sleeping beauties in the class. She acted as if she was following everything.

After the session, she said, ‘U rocked today.’

I replied. ‘U slept today.’

She said,’No. I was so lost into thoughts about us.’ She blushed and went and joined her friends.

I stood there petrified transforming into a feather once again. Suddenly I felt a strong smack on my butt, I turned, and my principal was standing with a whip. He asked me to stop day dreaming and get back into my seat.

I repeated those lines a100 times/minute in my mind.

The principal was explaining about great minds and encouraging us to become scientists. The whole class was quite and I completely in boozeworld (other name for heaven).. :=)))

Suddenly, the principal asked the class, ‘Name some female scientists?’

Before anyone could answer, I told her name loud enough for the whole class and the principal to stare at me. I was mentally prepared for a blasting, but luckily there was a scientist in that name and he started praising me for telling such a unique name and the whole class burst into laughter. Except the principal everybody else in the room knew the reason…

One day, we decided to go out for a walk together. I went home changed into the trendy neat clothes I could find and she was wearing a white shirt and knee length skirt. I couldn’t help myself staring at her legs. Till we crossed the territory we know, I walked 100 meters following her. Then she started slowing her pace and I increased mutually. In no time, we started walking together in the unknown lands.

It was a deserted path and suddenly a black cat crossed in front of us and she grabbed my hand in reflex. I thanked that cat 100 times and she maintained the grip for the rest of our walk. I could bet, I would have easily popped a thermometer as my body was so hot and now I started understanding about all the chemical reactions better. We spoke about anything under, over and around the sun and time flew just in a flash.

We started taking such strolls in regular intervals.

One of my friends parents were leaving town and I bribed him saying I will help him in the exams to get his house key. I convinced her to come over as we couldn’t be free enough on the roads. She told me that she will be there only for 10 mins and agreed to come.

Everything was set and she was sitting next to me in the couch. I switched on the TV and was browsing through all the channels and was constantly changing it. She inquired what I am searching for. I didn’t answer and continued flipping through the channels.

Then she said, ‘Are u looking for porn?’ I dropped the remote from my hand and was dumbstruck.

She started laughing losing control. Like Arjuna in Mahabaratha who saw only the bird he was aiming at, I could see only her lips. And in a swift motion, I caught her in my arms and started kissing her on her lips. She showed a mock resistance in the beginning and relaxed after some time. I opened my eyes and saw her eyes tightly shut. We gave a break for water and finished one bottle each catching up breath. This time it was her turn, she pushed me on the floor and the next session started then.

After having a couple of sessions more, it was time for her to leave. I went home and didn’t eat or drink or touch my lips and was feeling quite high on 4 shots of kisses. This secret ingredient is pretty powerful.

Our good times continued till the end of the year with more adventures.

We gave our final exams; I managed to get an engineering seat. She joined arts............

High School Final Year

I was a clown,

I was her savior,

I could feel the chemical reactions.

The time is up to see the results,

We spoke anything,

Above the sun,

Below the sun,

But never exchanged those 3 words;

I want to tell her, I want her to know that
I don't want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why.
