that was the only thing going on in my mind as i walked robotically towards my 6th period. I, dorkiest of the dorks, clumsiest of the clumsies, just had her first kiss!. and the guy was my 7-months long crush. i couldn't believe he chose me against his ex-girlfriend. i sighed dreamily and sat on the bleachers of my gym. it was two weeks before summer vacation so we no longer had to change. tyler, michelle, andrea, robert, christina, all sat around me like usual, but i paid no attention to them. i was too busy thinking about him.
" dude whats wrong with you?" tyler nudged me. i looked at him coyly and gave him a mischieviously dreamy smile. " o...k you're scaring me" he said with a disgusting smile.
michelle slapped his head and said" dont you know ANYTHING about girls?" she rolled her eyes, " when girls give that kind of look. it means they are having romantic relationship."
tyler's face fell and he looked at me curiously, " so who's the unlucky guy?" he asked.
" angad." andrea replied. when everypen looked at her-including me- surprised she shrugged. " what? its sooo obvious. i mean comeon you guys didnt know? " when everyoen shook tehir head she sighed. " i mean wasn't it too obvious by the way she loked at him all teh time and talk about him adn you know... " she trailed.
" wait angad....angad....angad.... who?" robert asked.
" khanna...you knwo the gothic dude with the sexy smile" christina answered.
" ohhh him?" tyler made a face. " come krips yu cant be serious" he said. " he is a freaking goth! emo even! he is sooo not your type."
" i have a type?" i asked.
" she has a type?" michelle adn andrea joined in.
" i mean... i mean..." tyler stuttered. " ... like isn't he tooo...errrm dark for you? you are such a bubbly, fun, cheerful person. isn't he a little dull for you?"
" well if she likes him and he likes her...they will manage. " andrea shrugged.
" yes but...--" tyler was interrupted by me.
" guys i know we are this "gossip group" who have nothing better to do than gossip about people but didnt we agre that we'd talk about everyone but ourselves? dont you think talking about me is a violation to that promise?"
" i guess.." they mumbled and we talked about other stuff but my mind was still at that kiss.well how couldn't it? it was her first kiss with teh perfect guy!!!!
soon the clas was over and as i descended to the 7th period. my heart was pounding. i could feel it pound against my robcage. i was soooo scared. i was finally gonna see him. this wa steh only class i hasd with him, world history the easiest subject for us both.
i went in adn saw like always lil gaara was there. he was short for his age, and was ADORABLE. i hugged him from teh back adn kissed his cheek. " good afternoon lil gaara!" i sung. then i swung my backpack to my seat and sat there grinning at him. he looked at me surprised.
" what up with that mood?" he asked and sat in his seat. we sat across eachother. angad sat beside him adn chistina sat beside me.
" nothing...." i answered adn bit my lips.
" krips...." he asked.
" i...." just as i was gonna say something i saw angad stroll in in his usual laid back style. he looked at me and winked at me. i blushed adn looked down. lil gaara raised his eyebrow and looked back at angad. angad walked over to him and slapped his back.
he sat beside lil gaara. christina hadn't arrived yet. he silently motioned me to sit across form his instead. i shook my head shyly but he narrowed his eyes warning me. for a goth, angad was not exactly brooding. he had a sexy, smug smile that was playing in his lips all the time. especially infront of me. how was i to know that it was a special smile for me?
i giggled softly and shifted to christinas seat. as soon as she came she gave me a strange look then she understood adn sat in my seat. the period ended too early today. angad has alwasy been silent but pleasant. and today was no difference except for teh fact that we were kinda talking to eachother through our eyes. he didnt like public affenction i knew that. so noobody realy knew about US. i was not exactly sure if there was an US. but i sure hoped there was.
when the class ended, like always he helped me pack up adn then surprisingly held my hand tightly in his and walked.
he was holding my hadn infront of everybody!!
he stopped infront of his locker, since i never used mine adn had no idea where it was, and made me satnd infront of him. he leaned against the locker and left my hand. he hadn't said a word to me after that kiss so it made me a little nervous. my hands were trembling adn i was breathing heaily. he smiled and tilted his head slightly.
" you're cute when you are nervous." he said softly. he didnt speak too loud. he never did. he caught my facein his hand and looked into my eyes. " you like me?" he asked.
i blushed and nodded. " i do like you." i whispered. my throat was dry.
he chuckled softly adn surprised me by pulling me into his arms. he rubbed my arm adn softly whispered in my ears. i shivered. " i like you too."
my lips curled slightly adn i pulleda way to look at him. he rubbed his finger on my cheek. it seemd like he was gonna kiss me again but unfortunately the warning bell went off. i groaned while angad chuckled. he bid goodbye and we both left.
i sat sulkily for the rest of the day. i was excited cuz he liked me too, but sad cuz i wouldn't see him untill tomorrow now.
for a few days it went teh same. i saw him every morning and afternoon. but evening we couldn't meet. he didnt ask me out on a date neither did i. he didnt ask me to be his girl friend either. it was kool but i was a little sad.
then there were the midterms. annoying midterms. we both were too busy with our annoying wierd shedules, that we had no time to see eachother.
it was the last day of midterms. i finished it and went home. one whole week without seeing him. it was like hell. around 9 at night when i suddenly felt like going out. i dint knwo what it was but i just wanted to take a walk outside. i yelled iw as just gonna walked outside. not stray away at my mom and walked out of the house. i always liked to walk out here. i was obsessed with vampires and often fantasized about getting bit by one.
i smiled as i fantacized about it again. then suddenly someone grabbed me from the back and pulled me to his back. i knewit was a he but he had no breasts when he pulled me harshy against him. i felt a sudden chil run down my spine adn i realized itw as not fear, it was excitement. my first thought was VAMPIRE. but then i thought against it. if i hadnt seen a vampire all my life why now? then i felt his breath in my neck and got more excitement.
" just thought i should help you make your fantacy come true" he said huskily and dug his teeth into my neck. it was stupid and wierd but i was soo turned on. a small moan escaped me as i felt his teeth on my neck. then he kissed teh little love bite. i turned to him adn crushed my lips with him. he grinned against my lips adn pressed kissed me back.
i pulled back nad looked at him. he really did look like a vampire. he wore all black. his hair was black and his face was pale. his lips were amazingly red with my lipstick, as if he had just sucked some blood.
" i should go now." he said and pulled me away. " its getting kinda late, and your mom wouldn't be too happy seeing a guy like me with her daughter." he gave me a last kiss adn was about to go but i held his arm. he looked back at me curiously.
" is that why you haven't asked me out yet?" i asked innocently.
he looked bewildered. for the first time his pale face flushed and he looked away. my heart warmed when i realized why he had tried not to get too attatched to me. suddenly i was throwing my arms around him and hugging him tightly. he was surprised but he held me. he closed his eyes and held me tightly. " thast not the only reason." he mumbled. " i really like you. but you know... i m a goth. i dont really give a very good first impression. i was surprised shocked actually that you liked me. you're so innocent, so fragile, so..... cheerful and colourful. it scared me that i would scar you."
the next day, i dragged him home with me. he was scared. he looked sooo cute. he was scared of meeting my parents. no actually eh was scared if they will not let me date him.
when my mo saw him she was a little hesitant but as they got to know eachother, they were ganging up on me! then softly my mom said,
" angad i really like you. you are an awesome boy. i have never stopped kripa from doing anything she wanted to do. if she wants o date you its all upto her. BUT you guys ahve to promise me a few things. we are not american so i dont like the whole american dating system. you guys can go out together. but no sleepovers. and i hope you knwo your limits. you need to remember that.---"
" Mrs. sharma." angad smiled. " dont worry about that. i value all teh things you have said so far. i admire you for not thinking of me as some freak adn welcoming me with open arms. you're a kool mom. and trust me with your daughter. i wont hurt her." i took hsi handa dn squeezed it. my mom smiled. she kissed my and his forhead adn left the room.
" that was really sweet." i said with a grin.
" i know." he answered with a smug expression.
Today is our 5 years anniversary. we are both in UVA. we are in love and nothing in teh world can change that. i stilll wonder hwo this awesome gothiuc guy fell in love with a dorki girl like me. that first kiss adn meeting with my mom has brought us till here together. and will take us far off into the future. together. forever.
