Head Over Heels In Crush ;) (Ahem Ahem)


undefined





I am looking out of the window, with earphones attached and a book in hand. Suddenly my phone buzzed. A message from Sharanya- “Girl, come soon. Your crush is here.” My heart skips a beat. What if I m late to college again and miss another golden chance of seeing him? The nightmarish thought freaks me out.

I clutch my bag, jump from the bus (which is static of course ;])and run like a house on fire. My legs never seem to stop, ignoring all Hi's, Hello's and Hey's from friends, I climb the stairs of the college. I stop dead at the threshold of the classroom. I pull back my hair, straighten up my dress and look into the class. He’s deeply buried in a book and I am facing his back. I clutch at my heart (literally), look heavenwards and let out a deep sigh of relief. I look again at him mesmerized, and blushing hard. I brush past him and our shoulders almost touch (which means they don’t touch :( ). I have this sudden and strong desire to go up to him and tell him that I missed him so much. 24 hours is a long gap people! :P. But somehow I cant summon up the courage to do anything but to sit and stare. Stare like there is no tomorrow. I bit my tongue and resisted the temptation to fly in his masculine arms :D. I sit down on my respective bench, ignoring all nudges, winks, and we-know-you-have-a-crush-on-him looks from my gang of girl pals. I raise my eyes demurely up on him again. I feel the heat rising in my cheeks and I sit up straight and adopt a stony expression. But my angel-faced man doesn’t return my gaze. DAMN!!! He’s still buried in his stupid accounts textbook and discussing a problem with the other guys. Can’t help but feel a pang of jealousy. I mean I hardly get to see him and when I do, I find him engaging in serious conversations with the guys. A combination of frustration & irritation began to brew. Damn them all! I wanted to tell them to take the book and shove it up their Asses. You maniac! Darn you to heck!!(And I say this with a lot of affection :D)
OMFG! My world seems to freeze for a moment. He just smiled. The curves of his lips expand and he bursts out laughing. I can’t help but stare dumbly oblivious to the happenings around me. Look at me, I whisper. And then just as suddenly as I’d said that, he looks at me. I smile. He’s still laughing. Somebody freeze the moment!!! It lasts for full 5 seconds and then he looks away. The memory of it etched in my mind forever. He grins back and I nearly pass away.
I want to stand on the bench and do the ‘fix-the-bulb-and-crush-the-cigarette-waala-dance’lol. I was so torn between pleasure & joy, that if i dnt burst it'll be a marvel. *winkz*
Next thing I know am doodling heart shaped pics on my table and day dreaming about him. I can’t look at him without falling to pieces.
I was in buoyant spirits. When did I become so brazen exactly? He’s got the whammy on me. I am still staring at him with a stupid expression on my face (I’ll spare you the details. Trust me. You wouldn’t want to know!). I was incensed when I saw him. Was I acting like nincompoop college fool? I was overwhelmed with ecstasy. There’s so much about him, which is profoundly endearing.
I know how it feels to have to feel this way. It feels good.(Ooh yes!) I come very close to falling completely to pieces, to crumpling like a frail or spilling out. I m gaga over him. He has a smile that melts ice & a cool personality to go with it. I still savor the tingle of excitement whenever I....
All right. I am a shit. But at least a successful one. :)

My full-blown hard core crush. My eloped hero. One of the teachers of my college. A 55 year old man who’s ‘happily’ married. OUCH!!!!!!
:D :D :D

Before I wrap up lets ponder on two points:
1.Must I really spend the rest of my life writing rotten articles like this?
2.Must you really spend the rest of your life reading rotten articles like this? :D
Tell me. Go on. (Oh crap!)
Okay Okay dont get huffy. It was just a question.
*Ge3ee*

To answer you
1. You write well!! Use words well to depict the agony and ecstasy of the moment.
2. Don't we all write crap sometimes? At least you are being honest and that is what comes through your writing. The subject might not be of great significance to the reader, might I say trivial but i admire the way you use words like beautiful flowers to make a garland

Well.. You have a flow. Guess that's pretty okay. But some work seriously needs to be done on the language.. I could literally see the work of an Indian writer in it, and trust me: They aren't all of the brand "Arundhati Roy" :)
