Yes Idiot You Know Me

Adah's P.O.V.

Siya was sitting beside me and I was resting my head on the bench of an empty classroom as she slowly but rhythmically drew circles on my back. My panic attack had shaken me and Siya, I could tell by the way she kept whispering in my ears that it was completely fine and that she was here with me right by my side.

I lifted my face to glance at the time, it was completely swollen, my eyes puffed, cheeks tear-stained and my eyes were bloodshot red "We should get going to the class" I almost whispered in a small voice "It's fine we don't have to attend the lecture" "I messaged Hiya that you were with me helping me with some study stuff" she said in a calm tone. "Thank you for not telling her about this," I said to which I received a light Nod from her "Do you want to talk about it? I know I was not the most welcoming person but I promise that I am good at keeping secrets and if you don't want to it's completely fine" Siya said with a warm smile I had never seen her like this, maybe I just unlocked a completely different part of her personality and before I could decide what to say? These words automatically came out of my mouth "Why do you hate me?" She didn't look surprised by my question the guilt was written all over her face "It's just that You are exactly the type of girl Abhi likes so I got insecure but seeing you for the past few days made me realise that you were not interested in him or rather anyone for that sake" I completely ignored the I am not interested in anyone part and said "Really?? You are insecure because of me have you seen yourself you are so pretty and I am just an average girl" she let out a breathy laugh "Have you ever glanced at anyone in our class other than our friend group? half of the boys gawk at you .....You know there is something about you that makes people just stare at you...you have those kind eyes and you seem so calm and collected, If I had to describe you in one word I would say you feel safe like home...I know I analysed you in just three days but I am pretty good at reading humans and I have still not been wronged so I am 99% sure I am also right this time" I just stared at her in surprise and my cheeks were completely red I was not used to compliments "I think that Abhi is a great as A friend and I never saw us that way and I never will and I don't know how to take compliments.....Thank you I guess" "You look so cute when you blush" Siya almost screamed teasingly I just murmured a "Shut up" and I went into another series of turning into shades of red that I didn't know existed which just amused her more.

"We still have 20 minutes before the lecture ends, should we just go to the library submit our forms and then meet everyone in the cafeteria?" I gave her a nod and we left for the library before which I washed my face to not look like I had the worst breakdown of the century.

We reached the library and it was quite empty few students were studying and then I spotted all the senior students at the very back with tables set up I instantly recognised all the students from that day when they came into the conference room but my eyes were searching for one person in particular and he was not around so I let out a breath of relief, I did spot Aishwarya among

them so I was worried if Tamas was anywhere around "Get a grip Adah why does he have to concern you? you both don't even know each other" I thought to myself I put on a confident face and an upright posture we both started walking towards them, I am good at faking confidence even when I am freaking out from the inside "FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT" My favourite mantra and in between those thoughts I didn't even register that I had run into someone and I was currently on the floor sitting down groaning because I fell right on my butt and I am pretty sure I cracked a bone because I couldn't feel my butt anymore "I know I am handsome but you don't have to literally fall in love with me" I recognised the voice and it sent shivers down my spine I could feel my heart racing fast and panic slowly starting to set in. I quickly gathered everything on the ground so that I could leave this place for good because he was the last person I wanted to have a conversation with right now, I didn't want another panic attack and not before my seniors. he stood before me blocking my view from everyone in the room at least that saved me some embarrassment "Hey I am sorry.." he didn't finish his sentence because the second our eyes met something clicked and we couldn't look away from each other I couldn't comprehend what was going on in his head because I saw a series of expressions on his face playful, shocked and confused or this may just be my mind analysing things, without uttering a single word I quickly turned grabbed Siya's arm and almost dragged her down to the benches because I knew for sure he was behind us heading here and I wanted to get this over with as soon as possible I submitted my form and was about to make a run for the exit door when I heard Aishwarya say "You have to take the signature of the club representatives before you submit the form and they will inform you about the days and times you will be working with them according to your schedule" "I am sorry I have no clue about the representatives of Photography and coding I must have missed it in the meeting" I say with a guilty expression plastered on my face, she smiles warmly and says "No worries darling there is the list on the door you can check that out. By the way, I am the photography representative and Tamas is the representative for Coding" she said pointing towards Tamas when did he get here? And why was he starting? Did I have dust on myself? Or did I have something else on my face? He was just intently staring at me trying to figure out something but I completely ignored him I had other important concerns

I was contemplating whether to drop the idea of taking a Coding To avoid him but then again I will be seeing him in Photography because of Aishwarya so I just decided to go with photography and coding because what are the odds that I will have to meet him at all the time because there were many club representatives and Tamas was just one of them. I put the form in front of Aishwarya for her signature she took a look at my schedule and informed me about the days that I would have to attend, which were Tuesday and Saturday for 2 hours.

After we were done discussing everything I turned to look at Tamas and he was already looking at me but this time he had a smile on his face and not a warm smile but the one that said "I am going to bring some trouble for you" I hated it. I kept my head low and handed him the form along with my schedule "So Ada right" he miss pronounced my name even though my name was right before him on the fucking form in bold capital letters and I don't think my 4 letter name is so hard to pronounce. well, this is how you want to play games then we will play it your way I decided to go with my miss pronounced name and I gave him a light nod to which he smirked That bastard I wanted to wipe that smirk off his stupid face, I was fuming with rage but I kept my emotions neutral I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of being affected by him. he took a look at my schedule, looked at me and said "You can come on Mondays and Fridays for an Hour" I gave him a nod and was about to leave when he casually asked me "Do I know you from somewhere ?" Those words made me stop in my tracks and it was the moment I realised that he was the same Tamas from the summer camp and maybe he also recognised me but I didn't want to agree with him so I lied and said "I don't think I remember meeting you before" He raised an eyebrow not satisfied with my answer and confused with the response but decided to let go of the topic anyway I turned to Siya she was standing near the doorway waiting for me as I made my way towards the doorway I felt someone's intense stare at me and it didn't take a genius to figure out who it was.

Me and Siya rushed out of the room, Siya continued talking about how excited she was to have a chance to do photography again but I was completely zoned out thinking 'If Tamas remembered me' I didn't want him to remember me but a part of me wanted him to remember me.

All 5 of us quickly met at the cafeteria and had our lunch I was about to leave when Siya handed me her phone and said type in your number "I have a feeling that we are going to get along quite well, and if you are feeling low just give me a call don't be shy" I gave her the biggest smile I could humanly muster and typed in my number soon we all bid our goodbyes and I left the campus with him still on my mind I was in some serious trouble ...
