The Encounter
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Because you are only mine"...
Beep! Beep! Beep! the alarm clock starts beeping
"Uhh! I wanna sleep more" –What? 6:45 am already. I’m gonna be late. I need to take a bath, have my breakfast, get ready. Oh no... But wait a minute, what was the dream that I saw? Who was the boy who claimed me as his and moreover, this was the first time I ever have seen a romantic dream. Anyways, I can’t get more late for the school."
Finally, I headed to the washroom, got ready and rushed to the school.
"Good Morning" said someone behind me as I was climbing up the stairs to reach my class. I turned back & saw that it was my friend and my bench mate, Tiara.
"Hi! Good Morning" I replied. "So! Did you get the message that our teacher has sent?"
"Um, I didn’t check, sorry, what was that about?" she asked.
"Well, from it said that from today our sports period practice for the upcoming sports week will start," said I.
"Ugg!! Sports? Why?" she frowned.
"Come on, Sports is fun, we will enjoy a lot ahead," said I.
I was quite sure that she was going to join me for the sports practice because she was into sports.
“I have already enrolled my name in the kickboxing sport practice and the teacher had already informed us that the practice would start from the day after tomorrow onwards. So I was wondering how I will spend my time today.
And finally, after the boring math, history, geography, and chemistry period it was the fifth period (time for practicing sports events)
I went directly to the playground where the selections of different events were going on.
I had been selected in certain events too, so I went to confirm my name. I had no work today, and my kickboxing friend was also absent. So I went directly to the library and was simply enjoying reading. I was reading the Harry Potter series, and I decided to continue with it at the library.
Finally, everything was over and I went back to the class.
“You know, I went to the terrace hall & played badminton with my other friends,” said Tiara, “You could have joined too.”
“Umm okay...maybe next time. Let’s go home now. I am not feeling so energetic today,” I smiled.
As we were leaving the school campus, I saw a tall, slender boy with bright eyes standing near one side of the walkway. I felt as if I have known him for long. The moment I saw him, I remembered it was the boy I saw in my dream.
How is it possible I have never seen him before but I saw him in my dreams, and now I am seeing him in my school. Am I hallucinating?
“Hey...Can you see that boy?” I asked her
“Who? That boy? Yes, why? Can’t you see him?” She laughed.
“I guess I should go home. See you tomorrow.” I hurried.
I came back home, and I really didn’t want to make myself worried by thinking of him, so I decided to keep myself busy. I engaged myself between studies and various project works of school. But no matter how much I tried, I could clearly see his eyes in my mind. Those bright eyes, as if it holds my entire universe in it, as if it is trying to make me remember something, as if... "No, I won't think of all these, I need to focus. Focus!
(Next Morning)
Somehow I managed to not think of him and finally I forgot it. It was a bright morning. I had plenty of time, so I took a shower, had breakfast, got dressed and went to school.
After all those usual classes, our practice started, but today also I had nothing to do. So I felt like going to the ground to watch others practicing.
“Hello! What’s up,” called Miley, a friend of mine from the kickboxing group.
“Hey, I was just watching the selections.”
“Nice, well let’s see it together as we don’t have practice today,” she said.
“Yeah, everyone is busy but we are not,” I laughed.
As we were watching the selections, I subconsciously looked at the person standing in front of me and to my surprise, it was him — the boy I saw in my dream!
The boy who claimed me as his! I was standing there totally dumbfounded as well as shocked.
“Hey! Are you alright?” Miley asked, shaking me by my shoulder.
“Huh! Oh yes, I am fine. I need your help. Who’s that boy?” I pointed at him. “Do you know his name"?.
“Who? Oh, him? Yes, I do. He’s from my class only. I know him for very well. His name is.....
