Change of Thoughts

"Uhh... You can't do that alon-" I didn't know how to even say what I want, to him when he spoke up "I guarantee a perfect score. So don't worry about it." He said.

"Offcourse not! I am not worried about the score or anything. I want to do the project because it will expand my knowledge and in addition, I want the score that I deserve, based on my hardwork. I don't want a free reward!" I told him, unable to keep my thoughts to myself.

He looked at me for a couple of moments and then nodded and said "Hnn. Fine. Let me know the time and place then." He said turning.

I told him the place and time and he left. After all the classes when I finally got free, I met him at the pre-decided place and time.

We did the project together but we didn't have any conversation other than some related to the project and then, we decided to do the rest of it at homes separately as we divided it between both of us.

He works really efficiently, no matter which subject or topic. I felt a bit proud of myself for liking such guy but there's no chance for us, so nevermind. Still... The hope doesn't die hehe..

Before leaving, he spoke up "I want to complete this thing as soon as possible, so if you have anything to ask when you reach home, just ask me right then."

I gave him a questioning look, not getting what he meant but he soon cleared it by giving me his contact details.

I don't have any clue why, but I was blushing at that time. He doesn't give anyone his contact details even after being asked so many times and he gave me without even asking!!!

I reached home and after some rest, I got back to working on project. When I was doing it, I got an idea and I felt like changing the project plan a bit. Without even thinking, I messaged Kai and asked him about it. It was when he had read the message that I realised that what have I done.

I was blushing so hard when I got an affirmative reply from him.

We soon completed the project and even got a perfect score as well. Things stayed the same around class and so remained my daily life.

One day, during recess, I don't know why, but I was feeling a wierd kind of  loneliness while sitting in the classroom filled with students.

I felt lonely, but still, it felt so suffocating and overwhelming at the same time.

I went out of the class and soon, I was away from that crowdy surroundings.

I was feeling so anxious but there wasn't a specific reason for that. My day was going quite fine but this strange feeling is just ruining it now.

Within that loneliness, I found a locked corner with some bittersweet memories. The sweet memories that ended with some bitterness.. the bonds that got burnt away by the fire of misunderstandings..

I didn't even notice that when a figure came and sat beside me. It was when that person spoke up that I realised about his presence.

"Instead of panicking, try taking deep breaths." I heard a husky voice yet, there was a pinch of concern in it.

I did what I was told and it felt surprisingly relieving. Once I was calmed down, he enquired "Now, what's wrong?"

"I don't know.. you know right, when we suddenly feel lonely and... Arghh I can't even explain it..." I frowned. I was feeling so irritated.

I felt his hand on my head as he patted it with an almost invisible smile.. but I noticed it anyways. It just took away all the tension and anxiety I was feeling.

"Then, just find someone to forget that blank space or maybe just spend some time with yourself." He said blankly but somehow that felt so warm to listen to.
