The One I've Loved

Chapter 14

I told Rachel that I would get into top list at any cost . She was surprised to what I told her a few seconds ago . She didn"t respond quickly ,looking at the blackboard and then at me she asked , if I was serious or no . To which I nodded and said that I was really serious and wasn"t joking .

"Okay , if that"s the case then we"ll start preparing for our final exams from next week,"She said and gave a wide smile .

I nodded and hugged her .

She didn"t laugh or crack a joke when I told that I wanted to study , but instead she supported .Rachel was never a kind of person who would discourage someone .

"By the way , why did you want to get into the top list all of a sudden?, there must be a reason . Tell me what happened when you went out ." She asked me raising her eyebrow and sightly moving the corner her lips upwards.

I told her that I overheard two girls talking about Austin and his score and then told what I thought .

" Austin Ames .....So he is the reason that you want to study ....hhhmmm " she said in a teasing tone .

I said nothing , my dimple appeared as I was smiling to what she told.

She started to tickle me .

I was in the library and was searching for mathematics book while Rachel went to search other books . I went to the mathematics books section and saw many books in the shelves . I searched but couldn"t find the book I wanted .

I started to loose my patience as I was not able to find the book and looking at the books there , I thought that I would go mad if I stayed there even for a minute . Thinking that it would be better to call Rachel , I started to look for Rachel and saw Austin holding a book in his hands .

My heart skipped a beat as I was surprised seeing him all of a sudden . I became numb , I didn"t know if I should talk to him or avoid him . It has been two months since I decided to study seriously and since then I"ve been avoiding him .

I always hid whenever I saw him coming my way , I knew that I was being a coward but felt that was the best option at that time .

He saw me standing like a statue and looking at him . Walking towards me he gave a bright smile which melted my heart .

" Hey ! ,what are you doing here ? ..... I mean ..... Did you come to get the book or else you came to study in library ?" he asked putting one hand in his pocket and the other holding a book .

"I came to get mathematics text book and wasn"t able to find it so thought of calling Rachel so that she could help me ," I replied in a low voice looking at him .

"Come with me, I"ll help you "he said .

I gave a wide smile and followed him to the mathematics section . As soon a we went , he took a book from the shelf and handed it over to me .


"Was this the one you were looking for ?" he asked .

" Yes yes , I was going mad since I couldn"t find it , thankyou " I said slightly bowing my head .

"Did you come alone ?" I asked .

"No ,Justin came with me , he went to physics section ." He said calmly .

" Whattt!!! , no way ,we have to get there right now . " I told him and grabbed his hand without looking at him and hurried towards physics section .

I never thought that those little time I spent with him would become a sweet memory today .

Today"s Little moments are tomorrow"s sweet memories , they say .

So true .
