The Crush
Mashal’s POV
One thing I hate about Mondays is, well the Monday itself. Especially, when I had the audacity to pull an all nighter the previous night. All these is because of this one God Damn, Law presentation which was nothing but pain in the backside and a headache and a half.
But hey, am I going to learn my lesson?
The answer is,
No!
This was one of those days when I couldn’t be arsed to even wear my lenses, some how I managed to put my foundation on and put eyeliner and of course the everlasting matte brown lipstick. Now don’t ask me why brown! Cause to be completely honest I’ve no clue.
I’m not a make up fan, but you know insecurities, especially when the entire college is full of gorgeous girls. When I say that trust me! Every single girls are beautiful in our college. About the guys? I wish I could say the same.
Who knew it was about to change for her in this very day?
So yeah! After walking for 15 minutes I managed to arrive in the college 5 minutes before the lesson starts. I greeted my fellow classmates who were as usual standing outside the classroom, some of them are leaning against the wall while scrolling through their phone, whilst others were leaning against the warm radiator as it was late November and let’s not talk about the weather in the UK.
Soon the teacher showed up with a smile, a sly one! Pr*ck, knows most of us didn’t even finished his crusty mouldy presentation. Once we settled down the presentations went somehow smooth, even though the whole time most do us were dozing off like seriously? Why do we have to come to lessons at 8:40am? Some how I wizzed through my presentation, trust me when I say that, I have no clue what I said but it was so quick that basically by fellow classmate Umar turned towards the screen and the presentation was over. A round of applause to myself.
However, after the hard ass lesson ended, we finally moved on to the next lesson. While walking down the corridor I saw this girl, who’s one of my family friend’s, I just looked at her and so did she, and then we just walked past each other as if we don’t give a flying shit.
Sooner than I thought, I was already walking into my next lesson, then I suddenly spotted this weird looking guy, have never seen him before in the college. If I haven’t seen the student lanyard, I’d have seriously thought, he was a teacher.
This is because, he has this weird facial structure with, a lot of facial hair. Like heavy beard, long and thick eyebrows which is almost covering his eyes. However, it didn’t took me too long to notice this very individual next to him, I was paused as if someone pressed the remote of my system, the air hit my lungs and I felt like I couldn’t breathe anymore.
He was deadly gorgeous, he has this height to die for, just perfect. His hair looks extremely smooth and carefully back brushed, his eyes are something I cannot describe in words, this is because of the vinyl glasses, it just covers his face. I didn’t knew these glasses still exists. As I’m a bit old fashioned so I was quite impressed by his taste.
Instantly a thought came across my mind, I predominantly need to know his name, so that I get to follow him in social media. But then am I that lucky?
Yes!
As soon as I thought that, the weird looking guy next to him called out his name, as if it was a God gifted opportunity.
“Yousef”
Now that’s what I call is a one hell of a name, it fits his character. I quickly recited his name in my brain it sounds so good.
Although, the name is extremely common which is why I need to find his surname. However, soon he left the classroom and our lesson begun, the teacher has announced mock exam for the whole business department and in that instant an idea popped up in my tiny little skull.
I know I might sound like a stalker and a half but hey, it’s a second ever crush how can I not give it a shot?
Soon I finished the day and came back home from college and as usual same shit different day, nothing interesting. The only foreign thing was the ‘Yousef guy’ from the collided business lesson was roaming around my head.
2 days later
It is finally the mock day, and my plan was still on, to check the list of the name outside of the exam hall. Therefore, I have gone through the list and I finally found a guy called Yousef Hussain. I was so gassed at that moment because his sitting was right next to mine.
However, when I entered in the exam hall I sat in my place and there was no one next to me this is because some people are usually late in their exams. Which is why, I patiently waited for the person to appear.
But all I saw is a random guy who took the sit next to me. Meaning, I was wrong it wasn’t that Yousef. So with my utter disappointment I continued with the exam paying no single attention on something else at the same.
Although, after the exam was over I rushed into the bagging area so that I can quickly collect my bag and run to the different hall so that I get to check that list as well. That’s when I bumped into him and again my world stopped but he didn’t look at me.
However, I’ll one day make him look at me, so after all I did ran to the other hall but the paper was removed so I tried to give up and walked towards the reception so I get to go home.
But, I didn’t realised that I was lucky enough to look at my left and check the main name list of the entire business department. That’s when I spotted two Yousefs’ names and I quickly ignore the Yousef Hussain and looked at the other one which was ‘Yousef Patel’ soon I didn’t wasted even a second and pulled out my phone from my pocket and searched him name in Instagram.
Although, the best thing was that his profile was public and I got to see all his pictures instantly. Therefore, I pressed follow button before exiting his profile this was exactly at 4:05pm.
Suddenly after exiting the college building I received a notification.
4:10pm
Yousef Patel requested to follow you
