02 His Story

He was looking at his teacher with a concentration, as she was explaining about the natural vegetation. He felt a gaze hit him. He ignored it. Back to the geographical knowledge being imparted. Then again he feels a prick of stare at him. This time he looks to his right.
There was she, looking at him with a bright twinkle in her eyes.
His eyes get locked with hers....Suddenly he hears a whisper in his ear. A joke being cracked by his bench mate. The lock breaks, as he chuckles! He and his mate both are chucked out of the class.

He is flipping through a new thriller novel. He is all gripped into the characters,the alleys, the guns and the chases..when the phone rings....Tringgggggg..
"Hello..."
It was some other girl from his class calling. She asks things about the homework.And then, " So what else? " She asks.
" Nothing I will see you tomorrow" As he puts the phone down,Irritated for she broke his flow.

He is coming back from a basketball game. Talking with his friends.She passes him by. She gives him a beautiful smile, and that sparkling twinkle in her eyes. For the first time in his life he actually felt what " being swept away from his feet" meant.He looks at her as long as he could. He gets a pat on his head from a talking friend,and he walks away with them.

He is sitting in his room between his CD's and novels. He thinks and imagines that smile, that twinkle..............
And then he remembers about the NBA playoff game replay is on ESPN. He switches on his television.

A very few people believed he would top in his boards, for he played,roamed and hung out whole day.
And those very few weren't surprised when he did!

Time for high school. He decided to go to some other city.

A month passes by. One day he meets one old classmate of his.He is told how two girls from class had a serious crush on him and waited for him to come up someday.

" Oh ya?" He exclaimed. He still could imagine the twinkle when he saw the star shining that night.
