The One I Love

Secret Glances

Are you sure?, I asked cupping mouth when she nodded with a yes to my question .

My teacher came to the class and started to teach without wasting time .

There are three rows in my class . Austin and Justin were sitting together in a bench on the right side and I was sitting with Rachel on the left side leaving the middle row .

While the class was going I had few quick glances at him secretly which was caught by Rachel .

Enough now , you are looking at him as if you want to eat him right now , she murmured looking at black board.

Justin is looking at you , I said and started to copy down my notes.

Huuhh?, she said and looked at him when he was busy writing . She couldn't see his face clearly .

Your guy is blocking my view. I can't enjoy now , she said .

Then atleast let me enjoy , I said and continued looking at him .

After the first class , we spoke to the students who were sitting near us . They were really sweet , not like our old classmates.

I miss Cindy , Rachel said .

I know right , I wish even she was with us , I replied .

Cindy said that she likes someone and asked me to help her , did she tell you I asked her .

What ?, no she didn't tell me and when did she tell you , she asked me .

During summer holidays , I asked who it was she told she'll show me I said .

I'm going to help her , Rachel replied .

She asked me not you .

So what , I don't care , I'll help her, Rachel replied .

We went to Cindy during our lunch hour to meet her .

As always she was busy without eating .

Rachel fed her and I helped her in cleaning the cupboard .

I thought I was your friend Cindy but you disowned me , Rachel said dramatically and curled her lips .

I can never do that Rach , Cindy said in a soft tone .

Oh really ?, you told that you like someone to Jess but not me , Rachel said .

Cindy laughed and said that it wasn't a serious kind of crush .

No , no if you like him then go and tell that you like him , she said .

By the way who is he ?, Rachel asked with curiosity.

Cindy hesitated to the that person's name .

That alright Cindy , we will help you even if you won't tell his name , I said .

No , it is not like that , I will tell you both , one day . It's just that .....

That's alright girl , we understand , Rachel said and smiled.

After lunch hour we came back to our class .

Where did you go ? , Justin asked looking at me.

We went to meet Cindy , I replied .

Why are you so intrested in us ? , she asked which made him smile .

You , he said softly .

Oh was her reply to his answer.

I don't know what happend when Rachel stayed at his house for few days . But since then the way they used to talk changed .

I don't know how but I guess both of them knew that they liked each other but none was ready to express it .

Why don't you tell him that you like him , I said after we both sat in our bench .

She chuckled .

I'm happy that atleast he doesn't dislike me , all these years I thought he didn't like me .

I always told you indirectly but you never listened to me , I replied while shrugging.

Bleh , was her reply .

It was like a dream come true for Jessica , she always wished to be in his class . She felt like God was on her side when she saw him in her class that day .
