I'm terrible at writing one-shots but I want to try this one out. I think it turned out one of the worst things a person has ever made in the world. It's also very short. Okay so here it goes:
5th Period. Going into Math Class and see we have new seats. Of course, being in 11th grade means that we didn't exactly have the freedom to roam around and do nothing. We had to go to our classes or the teacher will notice that we are gone. Whatever. I looked around to see my name.
Found it! There is was, it was on a sticky note with my name, Nupur. I noticed that Riddima was going to be sitting by me and in front of me was Mayank. I've never actually talked to Mayank personally except the casual bumping in and saying sorry then walk on with our lives. That's how life is, full of accidents.
Let me tell you about Mayank. He's a popular guy, but is also shy. He's not like the other morons in his group, like the twins Samrat and Benji. They're both identical but I can tell them apart. Well, Samrat and Benji have had their girls before. They've probably dated at least every popular girl in the whole grade, even some in 10th grade. But Mayank wasn't like them. Forget about dating, he barely talked to any girl. Trust me, I know this.
At our table, there were 4 desks, but only 3 people. That was because our class was pretty small. Then the new girl came. Her name was Gunjan. At first, I thought she was cool and all that, but now she's a big moron who thinks she's all that. She's not that important, but she is part of the story, unfortunately.
So one day, Gunjan got asked out by a guy named Sam. Not Samrat, he hated her. I'm pretty good friends with him, not that I like him or anything, but we always fight but still get along, sometimes. So I knew that he didn't like Gunjan. Neither did Benji. Right now, the girl that Samrat was going out with was Hanna. Whatever, like I cared.
Since we had an empty desk, Gunjan sat with us. When Riddima and I heard about that Gunjan got asked out by Sam, we asked her if she had any other boyfriends. Mayank was there too. Then Gunjan said "oh yeah, we made out about 5 times". And at that second, you should've seen the expression on Mayank. His face was showing cluelessness and embarrassment all over his eyes. Riddima and I looked at each other. We were shocked that Gunjan was like that. Mayank just laughed it off and started doing his work. Even though "as a table" we were supposed to work together, the conversations would be quiet and boring. We would just say what we answered. End of conversation.
We moved tables after that too, and this time he was sitting by Armaan. Of course, Armaan and Mayank are really good friends. So from this quiet shy guy came to this loud annoying person. Armaan is the biggest bas**** on the planet. He sometimes made fun of me. But if you knew me, then I would get back at him with a really good insult. No one makes fun of me.
We went on with our lives like this, barely talking. I remember in class one day Armaan told Mayank to go over and talk to a couple of girls. He didn't come. Then I heard Armaan saying "See, I told you he was shy." And it was true. The only girl I ever see him talking to is Riddima. Guess that's his only girl friend.
Then in 12th grade, our graduation year, before the teacher came, these morons would always be turning on the radio on full volume. Mayank was one of them. Maybe because his friends were playing around with it. When "Lucky Boy" came on, he started dancing weirdly. I never see him like that. Even at Homecoming, when his friends were dancing around girls, he would never do it.
My first conversation with him was about math. The homework was a completion grade, and I was letting Riddima copy some of the answers since she didn't have it done. Mayank says "Crap! I didn't finish that!" Then I said "It's for a completion grade you know" And after 2 minutes, he says "Done"
I asked him, "Did you guess on all of them?" Then he said "No, I just looked over your shoulder and copied the answers." What a moron! Instead of getting angry, I just smiled. So that was our actual first conversation, where we talked not because we had to, because we wanted to.
That's kind of what I liked about him. He was shy yet talkative. Not a type of guy you see nowadays who only care how many 'chicks' they date. He was different. And not like his friends. It was funny because I would always get paired up with Samrat, but never Mayank.
I never knew if I actually liked him or not. I mean he was athletic and smart. A type of guy that my mom has always dreamed for me. But no marriage for me. I knew he didn't like me, I think. This is the problem with life, wouldn't it just be nice to know how someone else felt?
But our 'kahani' here wasn't meant to be, well at least for now. We both graduated high school and went to different colleges. I didn't really care about him. He was one of those, like I said before, 'bump into each other, and walk off' people.
There has been times where I had a conversation with him. But they weren't that big. And I doubt he cared about me. I'm just one of those girls who he never talks to. Wait sorry, he doesn't talk to girls at all.
8 years later…
It's my engagement night. As I am getting ready, I think back to times of my life. After becoming a doctor which was my parents' dream, I had a fun but hardworking life. I smile at the memories. I think back to the high school days, and in middle school. Along with elementary school. Those childish memories bring back the good times of my life.
I go walking out, with my mom and dad by my side. I walk up to my soon-to-be fianc. I first put his ring on his finger. And then he puts mine and kisses my hand. I said "Mayank! Tum bhi na!"
Liked the ending?
By the way guys, this os is based on my life. But this happened in 6th and 7th grade and I am not marrying Mayank! His name starts with M and I got the whole idea from that. I don't like Mayank either. He's somewhat my friend. This was just a nice way to bring out reality where most of the time, you don't fall in love by falling into a guy's arm. It happens by small talks. Anyways I hoped you liked my terrible os!
