"Roll no.27",he said as soon as he entered the class.
I looked up instantly.
Roll No. 27
Tall. Dark. Handsome.
I don’t usually use those words.
But in that exact second, they were the only ones that fit.
Not in a movie way. Just… him.
It was my third day in this new class.
I hadn’t memorized anyone’s names yet, hadn’t even figured out who sits where or who talks to whom. But the second he walked in, it was like something in the room shifted slightly.
Like air moving.
Like the kind of presence you feel without trying to feel it.
He wasn’t flashy. No designer bag, no loud shoes, no overconfidence.
Just calm steps, quiet eyes, and this strange stability in the way he carried himself.
Like he didn’t need to prove anything.
Like he’d already been here a long time.
He walked past me without even glancing.
Of course he didn’t. Why would he?
I was just the new girl.
Third day, sitting two rows ahead, notebook open but brain somewhere else.
But I followed him with my eyes for a second longer than I should’ve.
He took his place in the last row, like he belonged there.
Like the seat had waited for him.
Roll no. 27, I repeated in my head.
Not because I needed to remember it.
But because I already had.
