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.

Lovelogue – High School 1st Year

Continuation...

Days passed by… Friends and time will heal anything and everything… m back on track…

I always had a passion for computers. I was always fascinated by its power and things it can do… :=)))

I was in my teens by then.

I went to a tutor for Mathematics as there’s more weightage for it in the entrance exams next year. My family felt that I need to have a better foundation in that.

First day, I met the tutor and he explained the whole process of his coaching. Too much on the first day.

I followed everything and he asked me for my marks in 10^th in front of all the other students.

I was embarrassed and don’t know if my marks were good enough to be revealed.

Our conversation was broken as a guy in his forties entered and called him aside for a minute. After 10 minutes a girl was ushered into the room by the middle aged man and the tutor.

She saw me standing and smiled at me. I was a dumb dork not to reply back. She shrugged and took the chair next to me.

The tutor entered and repeated the question once again.

I hesitantly replied him. 189/200. I hated myself for doing the graph wrong which had taken away 10 marks straight away from my score. I never felt bad before about this. But the timing now is wrong.

The teacher said, ‘Not bad. You could have scored 200/200 if concentrated better.’

She giggled. I told ‘I will do my best this year sir.’

He didn’t ask that question to any others, then why me???

He started taking lectures and it was so boring. I couldn’t concentrate on the lecture much.

She was busily doing something; she was not even raising her head towards the black board.

I was curious and peeped into her notebook.

She was drawing a face and busy in finishing the round spectacles for it.

Once she was done, she turned to me and said, ‘Don’t u look cute?’

I was puzzled. I replied, ‘What?’

She continued, ‘Your picture. I even got ur specs right.’

For one moment, I was transported to the dining room in my thoughts. My mom was trying to feed me carrot and I always used to leave carrots and eat the rest. I was back to the reality.

If I would have eaten it that time, she wouldn’t have drawn those specs.

She then started drawing something again and this time same round face but with smaller rectangular frameless specs unlike my brown rimmed big ones.

She then turned to me, ‘U should wear something like this, and it will suit u better.’

I told, ‘Concentrate on the lecture. If he finds us talking, we will end up solving more problems as assignments.’

She gave me a lifeless look and started doing something on here notebook and this time she was covering it from me.

Finally the class was over and we left.

I reached home, but I don’t know why I was not able to stop thinking about her.

Is it love at first sight??? Cut the crap…

Next day, she was wearing a yellow salwar and her white complexion matched it perfectly.

She saw me checking her out and said, ‘Are u done with the problems?’

I nodded. ‘Then give it to me fast. I need to copy it before he comes asking for it.’

I gave her the completed sheets. She copied them real fast and just in time.

After the class, I was getting my bicycle from the parking.

She stopped me and said, ‘Thanks. Can u walk with me? My dad is not coming to pick me today and its pretty boring to walk alone.’

I told, ‘Sure. Lets walk.’ and I started walking with her and my bicycle. All my tution mates started gossiping.

She started the conversation, ‘U must be the topper of ur class.’

I told her, ‘I wish to but m not. I never topped my class.’

She said, ‘How is that possible, u got 189 in Mathematics.’

‘I stood fifth in my class. The topper scored 194.’ I told.

‘oooh… must be a genius. U know I got only 89. Just managed to pass the exams.’ She told.

Now I understand why she giggled when I told my score. We spoke about our schools and friends for some more time and reached her house. After dropping her, I went home dragging my cycle with me and rewinding and playing our conversation again and again in my mind.

For the next few months, our routine continued, she copied my notes every other day and we walked back every other day.

First term results were out. I managed to get 95% in the first term.

She came into the room with a long face. I inquired. She said, ‘I flunked in Mathematics. How much did u get?’

I said,’95%. I would have surely given some of my marks to u if I could.’

She smiled and said, ‘I know. Can we do this mathematics together after tution at my home? Please…’

I didn’t know what to answer and said ‘Yes. We can help each other out.’

Her face brightened up and said, ‘It’s you who is gonna help me. Thanks.’

She told her parents and they agreed as it’s for her own good.

We did the second term together and the results were good. I dropped a bit, 90%, she managed 55%.

She skipped tuition; I went to meet her at her home. The house was locked.

Next day she came with a wide grin and said, ‘I got lots of new clothes. Dad took me for shopping.’

That moment, I decided I am going to ask my dad to buy me a video game. If 55% earns new clothes, 90% should be rewarded with something more.

She said, ’I have a gift for u too. Come home, I will give it to u.’

At her house, her parents greeted me and gave me some sweets. I didn’t know how to react.

I went to her room and she dragged me behind the door and kissed me. I was petrified. I don’t know how long we kissed, but for me it was a like hours.

She said, ‘This is ur gift. Did u like it?’

‘Next term, if u get 70%, will I get more?’ I asked. She blushed and disappeared.

Third term, she got 65% and I dropped to 85%. But that doesn’t matter. I was proud that she scored more this term.

I met her in the tuition the next day, ‘Do I get more gifts this time?’

‘Come and see it urself.’ She said.

Her parents were not there when we reached. She got the key out and opened the house for us.

My heart started pounding faster. My whole body was getting warm with the sudden high circulation of blood.

She got some sweets and asked me to open my mouth and close my eyes. I followed her instantly. After some time I could taste the sweet and could feel her soft lips on mine. My head started spinning and I was flying.

Suddenly, I could realize her move away swiftly and she stood in front of me her eyes wide open. I turned back and saw her parents staring at us. They didn’t talk. I left the house.

She discontinued from the tuition and I never dared to go to her house again. Even I discontinued the next day.

The final term got over and managed 88% in the end. Somehow I never allowed my emotions control me when it comes to grades.

I managed to get rectangular frameless specs as a gift from my parents and finally decided to go to her home and meet her.

Her dad was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper. I went and apologized for what had happened. He kept his cool and told me that she managed to get through this year and will be doing the next year from her granny’s place. I wanted to meet her one last time, but she was already shipped far away from me.

High School 1^st Year

The sun had risen,
The best gift in my life,
I was petrified, I was flying
Life came to a standstill
The lips departed,
The taste remains forever.
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.
