Susan—

He left me dumbstruck there in the middle of nowhere. I did not know how to react when he said that. Should I trust him? Aren't all boys the same? Don't all of them say, 'You can tell me whatever you have to say'? Don't all of them make you trust them and then leave you without any reason? They do that every time. They take away girl's hearts by that coolness and that smile. The same did that thin guy. But he was a little different than all the other guys I had met. I mean, he had that pure innocence in his voice, it sounded that he was sincere when he said all those words. Another thing I noticed was that he did not flirt straight away. He was so gentle when he asked me to tell him whatever bothered me and nervous when he first talked with me. I could make out that he had very little or no experience with girls and talking to me was maybe his first and the worst time.

What he must have thought about me when he first talked to me? I must have scared him right? I laughed at the thought. I might look harmless and weak but my words show who I really am.

Cold?

Was I cold?

Stop bothering about nonsense, I said in my mind. I shook my mind out of those thoughts.

What bothered me now was whether I should tell him. I did not want people to know what I was suffering from or how much I guilt and pain I had experienced in my life. I wanted to keep the fake smile on my lips until my face was permanently printed with it. But at some point I knew I had to spit it out so that this burden doesn't build up within me.

And out of all the people on earth, this stranger had seen me, seen me sad and heartbroken. And now his words were ringing in my ears repeatedly.

I tried to distract myself by opening my laptop and watching a movie. I watched 'Tangled' for the 100th time. But all through the movie my mind did not free from the boy's words.

You can tell me, I mean, about whatever is bothering you.

I shut my laptop and went outside to get some free air.

Why do boys have so much of effect on girls? Were they mystical creatures who knew exactly how to lure girls? Okay, luring girls is one thing, it's not that bad but what about giving them high hopes and then suddenly leaving them in the middle of nowhere? This is what I always hated about boys.

But once again, this stranger boy whom I had just met and whom I hardly knew anything about, in fact I didn't even know his name, had an effect on me.

My phone buzzed in my pocket and I took it out to find that it was from Sophia. "Hey", I said. "You did not wait to cheer me for my solo singing. So mean of you." She screamed on the other side of the phone.

Oh, I had almost forgotten about the event going on inside the college when I had suddenly met this stranger guy who had taken my mind off of so many things.

"I'm so sorry Sophie, I wasn't feeling well so I went home that day. I did not wait for any of the events, seriously." I apologized and explained to her.

"I don't buy it." She firmly said. "Isn't it something to do with that guy who talked with you the other day?" she asked with mischief in her voice.

My eyes bulged. "I don't know what you're talking about." I said trying to keep my voice calm.

"Hehehehe, I was just kidding man. I'm sure your face must be photogenic right now." She chuckled and I was relieved. "But don't think I don't know anything about the juice. There is this guy I know who was asking me your number but I told him to ask you personally." She added.

"Is he from our college?" I asked curious. "Somebody seems to be interested in someone." She teased.

"Shut up Sophie. I'm not falling for anyone, not at least as long as I am in this college." I told her embarrassed.

"Okay babe, don't you worry. The guy is from our college and before you start your love life with him, let me just inform you that he looks scary, real bad." She said emphasizing on the 'scary' word.

I became all the more curious. "Scary as in?" I asked.

"Scary meaning he is dark, so dark that only his eye balls and teeth can be seen pure white on his face. And he is fatter too, totally opposite of you. But don't forget, opposite poles attract." She said laughing on the other side.

Good. She did not consider lean thin as scary then.

"Shut up! I'm not fall----"

"Best of luck with that one." She ended the call before I got to finish my sentence.

I was relieved that she did not see me talking with this stranger guy or else my life would be at stake. People in our college never kept secrets. One tiny thing had to be spread everywhere in the college and people would tease you till death.

As I was already fed up with the teasing I was getting every single day of my life, I did not want to give people another chance to tease me.

The thin guy came rushing to my mind and I felt like I should have a word with him. Whoever he was, he must have noticed me much more than he told me.

As I felt asleep I mumbled, "Next time I see him, I'm gonna talk to him, even if it means he is a dork."
