Trying to get close

"Maya, your wish came true!" Krishi whispered. "A-A-Aaron! How come you are here?" "To sit with you, Maya. Won't you allow me?" He winked. "B-But, Krishi is sitting with me. How can you sit here?" I asked confusingly. "Not a Problem, Maya. I can sit in Aaron's place. Don't lose this opportunity." she whispered. "Thankyou, Krishi. You sure are a good girl." Aaron smiled. "Haha, my pleasure!" I got nervous and you know, what the worst part is?! I can't speak to Aaron without stammering.

"Hey Maya, what are you thinking? Hope, I could read your mind." "Huh? N-Nothing." I said. "Hahaha, I like the way you stammer infront of me. Do you get scared?" "N-N-No, why would I be." I said smiling feebly.

Silly me! why can't I stop stammering infront of him. I need to do something about it. "Did I mention, you look gorgeous today?" He asked smiling. "Thankyou, Aaron!" I blushed slightly. Wait, is this a dream?! Aahhhh! Can you believe it?! The guy who looks so cold from the outside, complemented me. I gotta tell this to Krishi.

"Hey! have you seen Aaron smiling?"

"No, never."

"That guy is smiling and talking with Maya so comfortably!"

"Oh god! I can't believe it. Please wake me up."

"That girl must be something. She made AARON smilee!"

"Hey, don't you forget, Maya is the Second Beauty Queen of our school afterall. So, it's not so surprising."

"I'm thinking about the First Beauty Queen. She'll be so mad once she sees Aaron with Maya."

"Yes, I'm waiting to watch the rivalry between the two Beauty Queens."

"Hahaha, yesss." I can hear the gossips even from a distance.

"Are you afraid, Maya?" Krishi asked

"Not really. When will Melinda return? Do you know anything about her?"

"No, Maya. But, I heard she might return the next week."

Suddenly, I saw Aaron coming in our direction. I got scared if he heard our conversation.

"Hey girls, what are you talking about?" Aaron asked.

He was gossiping with his gang. So, I don't think he heard us right? (I thought).

"N-Nothing Aaron. What are you doing here?" I asked worriedly.

"To gossip with you girls." one of his gang member said.

"Yes, Maya. Aren't we allowed?" He smiled

"y-yes, you are." I said stammering

"Maya, start the conversation." he ordered

"w-will you join the sci.....

I couldn't even complete the question when suddenly one of our classmates came running to him and said holding his breath, "Aaron, Melinda will return the next week. I just came to know from our class teacher."

"Oh really! that's great. We are going to meet after such a long time."

"Aaron, are you close with Melinda?" Krishi asked once she saw my smile disappearing.

"Yes, Krishi. We've known each other since our childhood days. We're close friends." He replied.

"oh,okay. I thought you didn't know each other."

"well, now you know. Maya, I have something urgent to do. I'll return once I complete my work . Okay? Don't let Krishi take my sit."

"I'll not sit. Don't worry. Your girl definitely wants you to sit with her." she laughed. I pinched her nervously. "Ouch! Maya. It hurts. Hahaha." she shouted making sure Aaron could hear.

"oh god! you two. Krishi, I know, my girl is the best." he winked.

Oh god! I couldn't even stop myself from smiling. And now, my brain is thinking about the word 'My Girl', that Aaron mentioned.
