Dream Land

My Crush

Agnes POV :

Its been long since I last saw my crush in my dreams. He is a virtual friend and he has a girlfriend. Well I can hope to be with him atleast in my dreams, right?

Though in reality I go to a all girls school, in the dream, everything was different. I was there and so was he, attending his last class before he left for college.

My crush, Ross Sullivan, could melt any girl with his smile and his eyes, I started getting  attracted to him since day 10. I wasnt very happy with the idea but sure. He was my friend and he took me as one too. He doesnt see me more than that and I know that for a fact.

His girlfriend, Tishra, though she looked good and had a figure, I still didnt like her, and who would after she is your crush's girlfriend.

In the dream...

*******

Ross and I were roaming the halls, before going for the last assembly. I was happy to be by his side and Tishra wasn't seen anywhere. I was so happy that we were spending time together.

"Agnes?" I turned towards Ross with a smile and raised eyebrows.

"Yeah?"

"Can I ask you something? And answer me honestly." I nodded and he continued," Do you have feelings for someone, anyone?" I was extremely shocked, but happy, he cared enough to ask.

I just gave him a small, sad smile and continued walking ahead, leaving Ross confused. After, a minute he caught up to me and tugged onto my arm.

"Hey! Give me an answer. Who is it? Is it someone I know? Do I need to-" I cut him from asking further.

"Ross, I dont want you to do anything to him. He is someone I wont reveal. Yes, you know him."

"Ugh! Agnes, this is not fair. You know I have a girlfriend and you know her name." I gave him a flat look and ignored him.

"Agnes! Agnes! Agnes! Agn-" He kept on calling my name when he realised I wont answer him.

"What?!" I asked irritated.

He pouted. Awww, doesn't he look just adorable? But, I wont give in.

"Fine, your wish, I won't accompany you to the last assembly."

I was shocked and looked at him in disbelief. How is he so mature and childish at the same time?

I rolled my eyes, "Fine, I am talking to you. I wont tell you who he is 'cause he is just my crush and the feelings will soon fade away." I thought "Hopefully " in my mind. Ross is such a sweetheart and a darling that, anyone will be crazy for him.

10 mins later...We were entering the conference hall. This is it, after this we shall sign the papers and we can leave this school happily, I thought.

As soon as we took our seat, I regret choosing the place where there are open seats because Tishra is here. Ugh! How could I just forget about her?!

"Hi, Baby. I missed you so much. Hope Agnes didn't bore you." The audacity of thif female.

Ross laughed and brushed her comment off by shaking his head and saying that he could never get bored when he is with me. Slight blush crept up but I smiled and looked towards the Principle Sr. Sandra. All was right before Tishra came into the picture.

My late night calls and texts with Ross, all stopped when Ross said that he will give falling in love anooter try. He said that he likes this girl called Tishra, apparently she was a long lost friend.

"Hello to you to, Tishra." I gave her my fake smile that I had mastered.

She gave me a fake smile and a disgusted look at the same time. How was that even possible?

She sat down as soon as the assembly started. GOD! I am so bored.

After the assembly, where the whole time Ross and Tishra were whispering to each other and I couldnt hear anything, I could sense some tension. Tishra left telling that she hadd some urgent work. I was relieved and I turned towards Ross. 

"What happened? I sense some tension between you two."

"Nothing, it's just that, I know she doesn't like you and you don't like her and so I asked her why and she said that I was blind and that everyone could see it clearly." I gulped, I thought, I hid my feelings well. s**t.

"What did she say was clear?"  I played dumb.

"Something about you having feelings for me, but, you see me as a friend, so I know that you love me as a friend." He smiled. You could still seee the disappointment in his eyes. Did he want me to have feelings for him?

I was about to say that I did but as soon s I was about to say that, the teacher who always sits at the reception, called out for us to sign the papers for us to leave. 

We got up and went towards the teacher. She handed Ross the paper with my name and I got to know that only when I was about to check if they spelled my name right. But, he didnt check and went to sign it, on the table near the doors. I called out to him.

"Ross! That is my paper!" He looked up and then down at the paper and read the name.

"Oh, yeah." He smiled and handed me the paper as soon as I approached him.

"Thanks."

"Yeah, no problem. Guess we are meant to be each others." He joked but it also seemd serious. I smiled and nodded.

"Yeah. Guess so." He smiled, happy with my reply.

After the signing of the papers, We were going down the starirs and, I almost slipped.

"Careful, Agnes." Ross caught me before I could tumble down.

I laughed and said, "Clumsy me, never seem to do anything right."

Ross laughed with me. 

As soon as, we were about to take a step ahead, Ross got a call. Fron Tishra. They spoke for 5 mins but what felt like hours and i was listening to music as I was not at all interested in listening to their lovey dovey talks. Ross kept glancing at me and whenever he did, I smiled at him but, he returned the smile with his fake one. I wondered what happened.

After he hung up.I was about to ask what happened, but, he beat me to it.

"Tishra and I broke up. She had asked me where I was and when I said I was with you, she was pissed and asked me to choose between you and her. I couldn't. She said that I was being stuid and she said if I don't answer her, it is over between us." He sighed.

"You are acting stupid." He looked up at me, like he was lost. Though it would hurt me, I had to continue. "What? Dont look at me like that. You could have chosen one of us, you should have chosen her. You love her don't you? Then why did you say you couldn't? I am your friend, but, she is your girlfriend. Why did you not choose her?" He then looked at me as if I was the crazy one.

"Don't you get it? You don't, do you?" I blinked at him, this time I was lost. "I don't love her, I do but only as a friend. I love you, you i***t. When Tishra said that you had feelings for me, I was so happy, but , you never replied and I didn't want to give myself hopes that the girl I am actually in love with, loves me back. I couldn't choose her, because,  I love you , I am in love with you and only you." I stared at him in shock, dombfounded state. 

I kept repeating it in my head.

He loves me.

He Loves Me.

HE LOVES ME!!!

Tears filled my eyes andI was so happy. My Unrequitted love is not unrequited anymore. I snapped out of my state when Ross shook my shoulder.

I was so happy. I jumped and hugged him.

"I love you, too. I have always loved you." I replied pulling away from the hug. 

He smiled down at me and i smiled back. And we walked away from the campus, never to look back, hand in hand.
