Who Are You Again?

Now What?

“He accepted!!”

“God you scared me… Are you nuts!?”, Mia dramatically put her hand on her chest mimicking heavy sigh as Oliver was still clutching the mobile in his hands with an utter adoration in his eyes as he stared to the screen. He couldn't believe he was now friends with his crush. Leave the fact alone that there were almost six hundred others just like him.

And they didn't have crush on him too.

Or maybe some did...

Oh God! He never thought about this possibility!!!

“What? Did he send you the proposal?”, Mia pinched his bicep. He yelped and looked at her with disbelief.

“No he accepted my friend request!! Do you understand how big this is!! Oh my god!! I can’t believe he accepted my friend request!!!”, Oliver squealed like some teenage fangirl, forgetting about his doubts and worries earlier. Mia wasn’t even amused. She was busy staring the excited male.

“You are just one of many who’s friend request he has accepted. No need to get so excited. I seriously wonder what you would’ve done if had rejected.”, She mumbled to herself. She really didn’t want to burst the happy bubble Oliver was into and bring his previous worries back to torment him endlessly again, but she couldn’t help it when she saw him getting over excited.

“I know. But now what?”, Oliver asked. His face full now again.

Mia stared at him as he also quieted down his excitement. He never had thought about this. Now what that Noah has accepted his request?

“Oh my god!! Now what will I do? Do have to act casual or like usually I do whenever we come across each other?”, It didn’t take much time for Oliver to freak out again. And honestly speaking, Mia felt like taking care of an overgrown baby. And god she didn’t want to become a parent… Especially this early!!!

“Gosh Oli. I swear I can slap you right now. Stop panicking. It’s nothing extreme. Just start off slowly. Start talking with him slowly. Maybe just a casual 'Hi' for the starters.”, She grunted as she exited the tennis court while Oliver trailed behind her with her bag in his hand while his on his back.

Mia walked down the hallways with Oliver besides her constantly chatting.

To be honest it was a rare sight to see him like this. He was usually a quiet person who would take fairly enough time to get friendly with someone. He was shy boy boy who constantly needed to be guided.

Mia was just answering him in hums or nods not particularly listening to him. But that also kept him excited. It deemed to him that Mia always listened to him. It was just some great acting skills performed by Mia. Oliver's excitement didn’t last for long as they passed in front of the Chemistry lab.

There was Noah in his usual classic attire which was dark blue denim jeans and some Puma tees. He still had his lab coat hanging over his shoulders while balancing some notes on his left hand. He looked good. Like always.

But that wasn’t what caught Oliver’s attention…

It was the girl who walked out with Noah. A typical bimbo if you ask Oliver even if he didn’t really knew her. She had plaid mini skirt which revealed her thighs to a questionable level with some pastel coloured blouse. She had her own lab coat hanging on her with one or two notes while she had head tilted towards Noah giving him a flirtatious smile.

Oliver doesn’t really remember ever seeing her around. But now that he is seeing, he doesn’t really like this scene. Yeah, he knows he shouldn’t feel jealous of someone he doesn’t know. Certainly not when you don’t even know the situation. But the way Noah was heartily laughing at something she had said. And the way she was leaning in and speaking in his ears.

Was that really necessary talk in his ear? If he didn’t knew better, he would’ve misunderstood that she is almost eating his ear.

Why is she getting that close to him? Is that really necessary to show your cleavage? It wasn’t just about Noah. But Oliver didn’t like such girls. He just eyed them with slight distasteful glance.

He stood frozen for few minutes after breaking down on a reality. Now that he made some two plus two in his mind, he was shocked.

“Oh my god!!”, He shriek whispered as low as possible so that only Mia could hear him. She had stopped walking and turned around see her i***t friend gawking at the two people with horrified eyes.

“Now what!?”, Her annoyance was clear.

“He has a girlfriend!!”, Oliver almost cried.

“What!? And how do you know that?”

“What do I know? Bro, it is clear. Just look at them!!”, Oliver pointed at the couple making Mia roll her eyes. And she didn’t waste any time before she actually smacked Oliver in the head.

“Are you really that dumb!! She isn’t his girlfriend. She is just his lab partner!!”, Mia sighed. Oliver rubbed his head because God, that smack was painful.

“And how do you know that she isn’t just his lab partnar?”, He asked with innocent eyes.

“Because I have my senses working so I don’t make any useless assumptions. Now let’s go…”, Mia grumbled and pulled Oliver with hand.

Mia at this point had made up her mind she won’t do this s**t. She would never like or love someone. Because if love makes someone this dumb, she doesn’t want to be that person. And if she becomes dumb, who would look out for her overgrown baby? But oh, she was thankful also.

Thank god that she was asexual. There was nothing to worry.

Oliver still had this dumb expression of thinking something so he let Mia drag his like a ragdoll.

And fair enough, he stumbled on the stairs while Mia was holding his hand. But that wasn’t enough to prevent him from falling. He knew very well that he is going to get his face smashed for the least.

Before even Mia knew he had skipped a stair and started almost free falling towards ground face first. But like a miracle he just suspended in air.

Oh, that’s really a miracle. No wait.

He felt a tug on his other hand which wasn’t held by Mia. Mia also had stopped because she felt like Oliver was stopped so she aslo turned around.

There was Noah. His notes and lab coat forgotten on the stair because of being carelessly thrown down. Three steps up from Oliver securely holding his hand preventing him from falling and looking at Oliver with worry…
