Secrets

Prologue

It's raining suddenly and I didn't have an umbrella with me because it was sunny in the morning today and there weren't any sign of black clouds in the sky.

It has been 3 weeks since college has started and I already am starting to have work load and pressures. I have to submit my essay due this Friday and it's already Monday and I haven't even started it yet. I actually wanted to discuss it with Alsha (my desk partner) because that girl has mind blowing brain storming power and I didn't have any idea about the topic and she won't let me use Google because she is awesome like that so I was on the way to her home as she had promised to help me in this. But it's still 15 minutes walk from here and I don't think I can walk in this heavy rain so I entered the nearby coffee shop to pass my time by reading some book and sipping the hot coffee as this weather is perfect to do so.

As I entered the coffee shop it seemed familiar, is it.... oh my, it's the same coffee shop where Alsha took me the first day after we became " friends" telling me that it's a superb place because it's so peaceful and all but the first thing I saw, was him. It was him, I could tell that even after four years because of that brown hair and hazel eyes the body structure and the way he moved, it hadn't changed a bit. As far as I remember after that day I haven't come here because of the fear of being face to face with him. I know him very well but I doubt he even knows me. So with the slight fear of crossing path with him I walked slowly to the table in the farthest corner of the shop like I used to sit in my school so I could steal the glances of him without him seeing me.

I was settling down at the table praying that I don't have to see him while I am in shop but see, the god is trying to make a joke out of me coz I saw a boy with dark brown hair coming towards me, ugggh those hazel eyes seemed to be looking at me; it gave me an unusual sensation in my body. Even though it wasn't an earthquake I was shaking and when he came in front of me and bowed it felt like my breath has been caught in my throat and I couldn't speak I just kept looking at that tall boy with brown hair and hazel eyes who had plastered an unusual smile in his face.

I am freaking out for nothing. Calm down Nora he might not even know you just calm down and sit straight. I did as my brain suggested and took some long breaths and I too smiled looking at him.

"What would you like to have ma'am?" He asked me in a casual voice.

If he had noticed me freaking out he didn't showed it he just kept looking at me with that fake smile and amused look like he knows who I am and wasn't expecting to see me there.

"You used to go to Downtown school right?" I couldn't stop myself from asking the familiar stranger who is taking my order because I was too curious to know about him.

"Yeah I used to but I left at high school , ma'am now leaving my personal life can I take your order please" he replied through the gritted teeth giving me a blank stare as if he's remembering the things that had happened in the past. I wasn't satisfied with his answer but I didn't scratch the subject again and replied with the answer he wanted.

"Yeah I'll have a regular coffee please and make it decaf."

"Thank you ma'am, your order will be here in five minutes." He said bowed and left while I kept staring at his disappearing figure.
