hi guys! sooo sorry if you read my novel and didn't like it but now its my exam time so a short story'is easier to finish. after my exams I'll either write a new novel or continue my old one. until then please read this.
This is a true story, a piece of my life. more like a chunk.
when I was 5 i started going for tennis coaching. by the time I was 11 i was ready to start playing tournaments. i was planning on leaving my tennis academy and joining a professional tennis school. but something stopped me. as I found out later his name was ryan.
it was a cold October day. i went to tennis at 6 in the morning. i walked in and I saw him skipping with his skipping rope. I saw him and I immediately liked him. after that day i went to tennis only to see HIM.
his younger sister was my friend so I asked HER what his name was, what his age was.
then lockdown happened due to covid.
i was heart broken. would i not see him again? half a year went by in lockdown. several times I felt like crying but my mom and dad think that until you are 20 you shouldn't have crushes. so I held in my tears and only cried in bed.
then on my birthday,(28/12) lockdown loosened in Hyderabad. i also went to tennis that day.
I also saw him.
he was just as gorgeous as before.
he came up to me at the end of coaching pushed something into my hands and whispered happy birthday. I was overjoyed! i looked at what was in my hands.it was a damper for my racket.
a panda damper.
last time I had met him he heard me talking to his sister about how I lost my damper.
so he got me one. this secret and possibly mutual crush went on for two years. and sometimes he would look at me and smile or brush his hand against mine and I would feel like I was crazily in love. then after a while i decided to leave him a chit asking for his number. i left it on his bag..... but instead his sister found it. she was my friend so she didn't tell him but a few days later he decided to leave tennis. his sister did too so I never see him again. the thing is that this happened before. he left for a couple months and came back. but now we are shifting far away from the tennis coaching so even if he comes back I won't be able to see him.
if I could give you some advice it would be-
if you like someone tell them. don't be like me, crying in bed while writing a story about her crush. it's the worst feeling so even if you are nervous, tell your crush that you like them.
