Clumsy

" yhaa sure. "

They both took a walk towards the library.

Aayon tried to start a conversation, " she just forgets the time, when she's around books. Am I right ! "

Ivy smiled, " yhaa. "

" she's just like my aunt. By the way, can I know your name ? I'm sorry that I forgot " he said apologetically.

" it's ok. We just met once, it's normal to forget. My name is Ivy Brooks. "

" I'm Aayon Avelon. Nice meeting you. " saying that he extended his arm.

Ivy took his arm for a shake hand.

Just then, they saw a group of girls staring at them.

" isn't he the universal prince Aayon. "

" yhaa, he really looks like him "

" may be we are wrong. Why would he be here ? "

" no. Its really him. "

Seeing them getting crowded, Aayon took Ivy's hand and escaped from there. They soon went into the library. But they were flabbergasted that the girls still followed them into there.

They both went into the inner section of the library and hid themselves behind the book racks. As there is no space and a little bit cramped, they were facing each other. There's no space between them. They were just a few inches away from each other.

Ivy, who couldn't believe what's happening, finally asked " should I also hide along with you ? "

" of course. You seems to be a little bit clumsy. How would I find you again if I leave you there. "

" what !! " saying that, Ivy lifted her head up and her eyes met with his.

Her heart started to beat faster than she could ever imagine. Her cheeks became red. She couldn't hear anything except for her heart beat. She was captivated by his charm. He sure is attractive. How can he be a famous hero, if he is not handsome.

They both were staring at each other intensely and were soon pulled back to their senses as they heard Arora's voice.

Arora was surprised seeing them, " what are you both doing here, standing so close to each other "

Only then, did they realise that they were so close. They distanced themselves from each other.

" what else. We are hiding from a group of people " said Aayon nonchalantly.

Arora mocked him, " you sure are troublesome. "

He cried out, " what !! "

Ivy then gave Arora her phone and said, " well then, I'll be going back "

" why is your face so red. Are you ok ? " asked Arora who was worried.

Ivy explained, " it's just that we came running here. I'm totally fine. I'm gonna take a walk back. Bye "

Saying that, she escaped from there even without turning back. She soon went to a park near their dormitory and sat on the bench.

Her heart was still pounding. She didn't experience this kind of feeling before. It was her first time to come into contact with the opposite gender. She has always been a reserved girl who do not have many acquaintances.

After sometime she was calmed down and then went back to her dorm.
