It was a typical day at school, and Divyanka couldn't help but steal glances at Aum from across the hallway. Aum, on the other hand, had a tough and mysterious aura that made it hard for anyone to approach him.
One day, fate decided to intervene and bring them together finally. Divyanka was rushing to her next class when she accidentally bumped into Aum, causing both of their books to fall to the floor.
"Oh no, I'm so sorry!"
Divyanka exclaimed, flustered.
Aum, looking a bit grumpy as usual, bent down to pick up his books without saying a word. Divyanka, determined to break the ice, decided to lighten the mood.
"Wow, I must have really bowled you over with my amazing bumping skills," she said with a playful smile.
Aum glanced up at her, his expression softening ever so slightly.
"Yeah, you definitely have a talent for that,"
he replied, a hint of amusement in his voice.
Divyanka couldn't help but giggle at his dry sense of humor.
"Well, at least I'm good at something," she teased
Aum's lips twitched into a half-smile, and he handed her one of her books.
Divyanka's heart skipped a beat as Aum's half-smile sent a wave of warmth through her.
She couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe, there was more to Aum than his tough exterior.
As she took the book from his outstretched hand, their fingers brushed, sending a jolt of electricity through her. Their eyes met for a brief moment, and Divyanka felt a connection, a spark that she couldn't ignore. With a shy smile, she said,
"Thanks. So, uh, do you always have this effect on people or am I just lucky?"
Aum's eyes twinkled as he replied,
"Consider yourself lucky. Not everyone gets to experience my this."
Divyanka laughed.
he handed her the other books.
"Here you go, clumsy book-bowler," he said, teasingly.
Divyanka blushed, feeling a mix of embarrassment and excitement.
"Thanks, tough guy,"
she replied, playfully.
As they stood there, picking up their scattered books, Divyanka mustered up the courage to ask,
"So, do you always have this effect on people? Making them drop everything?"
Aum chuckled,
"mhmm I guess"
Her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but smile. The once mysterious and grumpy Aum was talking to her?? and Divyanka found herself falling even harder for him.
As Divyanka's heart raced, she watched in dismay as Aum's shadow disappeared down the hallway. Panic surged through her, and she felt like she might be sick. With a rush of adrenaline, she sprinted to her classroom, desperate to find solace among her friends.
To her surprise, when she entered the classroom, she found her fellow students enjoying a rare moment of freedom. The teacher was absent, giving them an unexpected break from the usual routine. Divyanka's friends immediately noticed her distressed state and beckoned her over.
"Take a deep breath, Divyanka,"
they advised, their voices filled with concern.
"Tell us what happened. We're here for you."
Divyanka took a moment to compose herself, her heart pounding in her chest. With a mixture of nervousness and excitement, she finally revealed her secret.
"GUYS, I KNOW I SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU EARLIER, BUT I HAVE A CRUSH! LIKE, A MAJOR CRUSH!"
Her friends' eyes widened with curiosity and anticipation.
"Oh my gosh, Divyanka! Spill the details! Who is it? How did it happen? We need all the juicy gossip!"
They exclaimed, unable to contain their excitement.
Divyanka blushed, feeling a mix of vulnerability and exhilaration. She took a deep breath and began to share the story, recounting the moment she realized her feelings for Aum and the unfortunate encounter in the hallway.
Her friends listened attentively, hanging on to every word. They offered words of encouragement and support, assuring her that it was completely normal to have a crush and that they were there to help her navigate through this exciting and sometimes confusing journey.
"Divyanka, this is amazing! We're so happy for you," one of her friends exclaimed, a mischievous glint in her eye.
"Now, spill the details! We're here to help you make your move and win Aum's heart!"
Divyanka couldn't help but smile at her friends' enthusiasm. With their unwavering support, she knew she had the courage to face the challenges ahead and embrace the thrilling adventure of having a crush.
Divyanka's heart raced as she poured out her feelings to her friends. They listened intently, their eyes widening with surprise and excitement.
"Oh my gosh, Divyanka! That's amazing!"
one of her friends exclaimed, unable to contain her enthusiasm.
The group huddled together, brainstorming ideas on how Divyanka could make her move.
"You've got to go for it, girl! This is your last year, and you don't want to have any regrets,"
another friend encouraged, her voice to be filled with determination.
Divyanka's mind swirled with a mix of nerves and excitement. Was she really ready to take this leap? She pondered over the possibilities and the potential outcome of confessing her feelings to Aum.
Her friends reassured her,
"You've got nothing to lose, Divyanka! Think about all the amazing memories you could make together if he feels the same way. And even if he doesn't, at least you'll know and won't wonder 'what if'."
Divyanka took a deep breath, feeling a surge of courage. She made up her mind.
"You know what, guys? You're right! I'm going to do it. I'm going to tell Aum how I feel,"
she declared with a newfound determination.
Her friends cheered and enveloped her in a group hug, their support giving her the extra boost she needed.
With a smile on her face and butterflies in her stomach, Divyanka prepared herself for the momentous confession that would change everything.
