I looked over at them cuddling and murmuring sweet nothings into each other's ears. The look in his eyes said everything. They were so much in love and so completely oblivious to everything surrounding them.
Sigh...I wish I was lucky enough to have that kind of love in my life but then I forgot that dreams never really came true for me.
So there you have it! My name is Khushi Singhania, I'm 18 years old, a complete dork' who listens to The beetles on Friday nights and dances to Shammi Kapoor's songs in the shower. I am obsessed with Shah Rukh Khan and I have horribly short, curly hair and my biggest weakness is that I weigh 65Kg's.
Yes, I am a walking, talking Potato.
I don't have many friends, the one's I do are simply acquaintances who are nice to me for the sake of being like that.
Sometimes I wish that I had an hourglass figure, had beautiful long brown hair and the clothes which could actually fit me.
Even though I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, I was always a fat kid, you know the one with the generous amount of chocolate cake in their lunch boxes and the one who had the nasty looking pigtails on either sides of their head and the one who always has to sit out of playing sports because we simply cannot stand still...
Yeah, that was me but it's okay, I've learnt that there was nothing wrong with being fat. I am simply beautiful in my own way.
Love.
Sigh...I was deeply and passionately In love with Arnav Singh Raizada, our college's sexiest hunk and the captain of the basketball team. Yes, every other girl swooned over him and blah blah blah. You get the picture.
3 years ago when I first felt the sparks towards him, I thought It was a mere crush but now...it just never seemed to disappear and I always ended up doing the stupidest things in front of him while he would just end up laughing and all his idiotic friends would join in making fun of this potato looking girl.
Another thing was, he had the most beautiful girlfriend every guy envied. She was perfect in every which way that was possible. Her long honey brown hair and almost model like curves earned her envious glances every time any girl would look at her.
Sheetal Kapoor. I simply wished I could be her for one day so that I could look at Arnav all I want...
But unfortunately, I wasn't that lucky enough...
I was walking over to the cafeteria one day when I spotted an empty table, so I went over and sat down needing to desperately catch my breath.
Just then I heard a few snickers behind me so I turned around.
I blushed a deep shade of red as I saw everybody glancing across my direction and giggling at me.
What exactly have I done?
Just then, I tried getting up but something below caught me and pulled me back down.
Oh shit.
Did I just sit on chewing gum?
I prayed and prayed for the floor to swallow me down. Why do I always end up in the most embarrassing situations?
I tried standing up again but the sticky gum didn't let me and I had to sit back down again. Moist tears started to fill in my eyes...I just pushed it back as I glanced at everybody laughing at me...
I noticed Sheetal grinning secretly at me as I tried to brush off this embarrassing feeling.
I also so Arnav laughing openly at my struggle...oh how I wish he was there to support me...like in those romance novels where the hero always protects his girl...
But unfortunately...I am Khushi Singhania...Nobody cared about my feelings...it was all pure entertainment because it was okay to make fun out of a less perfect person..
I sat there waiting for it to die down...just then I heard someone asking what the hell was going on.
I looked up then and found my sister Jenny and her boyfriend Armaan looking at me in the most painful way. My sister ran over to me while Armaan yelled at everybody to get the hell away.
She wrapped her arms around me and helped me get up and removed all of the gum away.
Jenny was the best sister ever...she was my life and I'd do anything for her...
Armaan was amazing in all ways possible, He was the best brother in law ever and I knew he'd support me no matter what.
My sister looked at Sheetal and shot her a death glare and held my hand and asked me to follow.
I glanced over at Arnav who seemed to be looking down in shame...He looked at me just then and we shared an eye lock. I could sense his regret by looking into his eyes but my pain was just too much to ignore, so I looked away not realizing the fact that I would never meet him again...
~~~~~~~
That night, I laid against the seat near my window and silently let out my tears that I had held in for so long.
This was almost like a routine now...I'd come home, earn sympathy from my family and lock myself in my room till it died down.
Today was different, I still remember how Mom and Dad were enraged with what had happened, they had already sent a letter the head of the college and now were planning to send me to London...
They didn't realize that it wasn't the place which needed changing...it was my life that I needed to change.
I sat beside the windowsill, glancing up at the beautiful streak of moonlight...I would change...I just knew I had too...
