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. the 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.

p.s. if ryan is reading this then I hope you understand that I really like you alot. come to tennis this month because after that I'm leaving tennis.
p.p.s. the cover has nothing to do with my story.
i just like Lisa a looottt
