Teenage Love Part 6

“ ” conversation and thoughts
* * inner mind thoughts

Viki was pulling out her thick math book from her bag when Roshan walked into the class room. He casually dropped his bag on the chair and adjusted his tie before turning around to greet Viki, but was surprised to find her seat empty.
“What the …” He looked around but there was no sign of her anywhere. Now he wasn’t so sure he saw her in the first place. Just then Revaty entered the room. “Hey there hot cheeks”. Revaty rolled her eyes but smiled anyway.

Viki walked out of the class as soon as Roshan turned to put his bag down. She silently scrambled out of her seat and out the door before he had his morning flirts with her.
“Not today ….today every boys are making me anxious” she thought
*Yeah right !! you mean every boys reminds you of William” added her sinister inner mind.
“No Way !!” Viki screeched as she shook her head roughly, totally ignoring the surprised stares of her fellow junior students walking past her.
“Ok Viki, Get a grip, you know William took his joke way to far….he freaking stole your first kiss for god sake, if anyone is to be anxious, its him!!” Viki mentally scold herself
*Riigghht!! And you just happened to NOT enjoy that kiss* added her mind sarcastically.
“Oh great now I’m officially mad” Viki exclaimed throwing her hands up in the air and curt her eyes at a young couple who was about to share their “suppose” first kiss. They immediately let go of each other and ran off in the opposite direction.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“William you dumbass !!” her mind kept repeating as she did her morning routine check around Block C. Just as she looked over the railing she saw Roshan looked up and grinned at her. Somehow this time her heart did not skip a beat like it used to. Viki sigh loudly and waved back at Roshan.

Roshan. The name alone brings good memories and not to mention never ending buckets of drools. Roshan looks like the Hrithik Roshan, the bollywood actor. Literally. His dashing smile alone is known to make a girl pass out. His athletic body from his swimming lesson did nothing but increase his attraction to many female at River High School. Although Roshan had known to be very flirty and sexy his parents are a pain in the ass. They kind of have a restriction law suit of some kind that prevents him form dating any girl until he graduates. Oh did I also mention he is filthy rich. He is like a total package that every girls dreams about. Yet that fact never stopped him from flirting his mind off, god knows just how many kisses thought lips have stolen. “Why couldn’t it have been him who stole my first kiss!!!”.
Anyway it’s also a known fact that almost every girl in the school has a crush on him, that also includes Viki, But she keep telling herself that he is a nice decoration in her class, like a male version of Play Boy poster on the wall. But play boy or not, the way he smile and talks and even walks has never failed to race her heart beat at least little faster. Viki had always liked that he takes time to talk to her and even sometimes sits close next to her in class that she was sure had the other girls in her class cursing like a sailor. There were times she was sure he would purposely grace his hand against hers as they walk, she swore at that time her hands were sweating and she had a silly grin on her face. But oddly enough…..none of his usual gesture has any reaction on her today.
His dashing smile didn’t do any effect to her heart nor when he talks and runs his hands through his shinny black hair. She also just notice that he likes to smile every time he finished his sentences and winks at almost all the girls walking past them. His gestures seem silly now. It almost felt like he was trying to hard to get her and every other girl’s attention. Viki listen to Roshan has he made smooth and cheeky jokes, both sounding less funnier by the minute. It disappoints her that she no longer had those reactions because right now she just felt like she is talking to a normal friend and the thrill of seeing him is no longer there. As her mind was battling the reason behind these changes, her eyes looked about the surrounding behind Roshan’s shoulder. Her eyes scanned for any faulty while her ears listen helplessly to Roshan’s jabbering.
She looked past his right shoulder and in an instant her heart skipped a beat (or two). She felt her heart resumed pumping at a deadly rate as her eyes met William’s. He looked serious and that instantly made her palms sweaty and her throat dry. She kept staring at William, not realizing that Roshan had stopped talking and was turning to look behind him.
“Hey Will, What’s up man ! come here!” Roshan said as he waved William over to join them.
“What !! No NO !!! I’ve got to get the hell outta here” Viki screamed in her mind. “Whoa Viki hold up girl, you got to stay cool….its gonna look obvious if you do that….stay calm girl….you can do it !!” she thought as she casually wiped her damp palm on her skirt. When she looked up she realized William’ eyes never left her. As though watching her every move. Viki quickly tore her eyes away from William and force her attention back to Roshan.
William stood next to Roshan, who in turn put his arm around his shoulder in a brotherly manner. William watched Viki as she adjusted her tie and tucked her “imaginary” hair behind her ears. The usual sign that shows she is nervous and uncomfortable. That fact made William smile.
“So the kiss did have an effect on her” he thought as he licked his lips slowly.
Viki watched in disbelieve as William crooked a knowing smile as he casually nods to Roshan constant blabbering. Her eyes immediately dropped to his lips and watched him slowly licked his lips.
Viki gasped “OH MY GOD he is reading me like a book !!”. She cleared her throat “ I should be finishing up my checks …Block C “ err see ya “ she backed off slowly even before finishing her sentences.
Roshan looked at her in surprised then back at William, who just shrugged his shoulders “Yeah ok ! Later!” as they watched Viki walked away quickly before resuming their conversation.
Viki looked over her shoulder one last time before going up the stairs, just as she turned William looked away from Roshan and their eyes met. William winked and Viki nearly tripped over her own foot. “What THE HELL !!!”

“This cannot be happening I have “Roshan symptoms” on William . Oh my god ! This can’t be happening because of one lousy kiss” Viki screamed mentally.
* Yeah right ….you know it was no lousy kiss * injected her inner mind.
“Stop it !!!” Viki yelled angrily while banging her fist on her forehead. The timid looking freshman froze in her mid step and her half eaten chocolate muffin fell from her gaping mouth.
Viki opened her eyes and blinked at the girl’s reaction before detecting the muffin on the floor. “Hey don’t litter !!” she said sternly and pushed past the girl to make her way to the her class.
“Gosh I just knew it ….. I now have a thing for stupid William over a lousy kiss …..and for all I know he might have done it as a joke, he knows I can’t never beat him to it”. Viki thought as she lean on the library door. “I just don’t want to be the one to feel this. Ok maybe I’m just over reacting …maybe this “Roshan symptom” is temporary….like a jumpy state we get into after getting the scare out of their lives. Something that is bond to go away….right?” Viki glance at her hands and slowly curl them into a tight fist. “I just have to put up this barrier around me that William should stay as he is …. A jerk next door and occasionally a weird friend type of guy”. Viki shoved her hands behind her back and let her back press her hands tightly against the door. She knew William since she was little, their constant fights and finding new ways to humiliate each other gave Viki a good impression or idea that William never felt more about her then just being a friend/enemy girl next door.
“But then again there was this time during the fire….she have this fade memory of William helping her to seat and perhaps even cleaning her wound …..but the thing that she is unsure was his reaction ….he looked worried and caring ?” or was that all the smoke-“
Her thoughts were interrupted when the library’s back door opened and Sheila stepped out giggling and dragging someone behind her. As Sheila reached around the corner her smile fade and pretended not to notice Viki standing right in front of her. Sheila is one of the reason Viki believe liking William is not going to be easy or any in way is a good idea.
