Yes!! It's happened again! I have a new crush!! :)
I am the teacher's pet and as usual, I was called to do some volunteer work. Why is it called volunteering when we are actually forced to do it?? :O Anyways I went to meet the lecturer and there I saw this cute guy who also happened to be volunteering!! Lucky me! :D The lecturer said he was an ex-student and was helping us.
One look at him and I knew I had a new crush! He watched me come in with that cute smile on his face. He was with his friend whom I hardly noticed ;) He quietly listened as I spoke to ma'm. To my surprise, he took a dig at me, with that smile full on. I retaliated. Even without being formally introduced a friendly banter ensued between us. Just when the fun had begun I had to leave wondering if I would ever see him again...
College went on for a few days and our study holidays started. One day the same lecturer called me. There was an alumni meet and nobody was ready to volunteer since internals were coming up. Feeling too lazy to go to college I gave her the same reason but to no avail. After a bit of emotional blackmailing, the social worker in me said yes.
I went to college at 8:30. The function was supposed to start by 10:30 and nothing was ready. I was asked to take charge of the registration counter along with my friend. There was utter chaos with people arranging chairs, hanging flowers, moving things... As I wandered about helping here and there, I was asked to assist two guys who were putting up the banner. I walked to them. The guy fixing the banner asked for a pin. I looked up, he turned to me, and I saw the same impish grin on his face and heard the same whoop in my heart!!
He was wearing a white shirt and blue jeans. My favorite combination! Sigh! :)
Again, we did not acknowledge each other verbally. But I knew he remembered. To my delight, he asked me whether the banner hung properly and all I could say was "umm.. yeah"!?! Why does it always happen to me? :( I just can't get the right words out...
We spoke a few more times, with him asking me, in full sentences, to do this and that and me responding with yeah, sure, okay. Arrghh!!
Finally, people started arriving and I went to the registration counter. Once I stood there, it was back to business. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to the ex-students who were there despite the long gap and their busy schedules. I met the first engineers who graduated from my college. They were really sweet. In between, I had my guy checking on me and this time I managed quite well :)
By noon, I and my friend were still at the counter while everyone else went for lunch. We were starved. It looked like we were forgotten. Thankfully two guys from mech came to our rescue and offered to stay there while we had our lunch. We thanked them sincerely and went towards the dining hall. It turned out that indeed we were the last ones for lunch. There was a long queue with a group of guys towards the end.
We were not sure what to do and then I saw him. He was standing in the group forming the rear of the queue. He saw us and at once he invited us to join the queue. I and my friend looked at each other sheepishly thinking whether it would be right to break the queue. But he didn't relent and we had to give in and join them. I faced him to say thanks.
He looked me in the eye and for the first time, I noticed his eyes. They were dark brown. His eyes twinkled with the dimples in place. It suited him really well!
The noon dragged on and it was time to leave. I did not see him again and there was no chance to say bye. But like they say "Kabhi alvida na kehna.."
The guy will stay on as one of my best crushes and brown eyes will always remind me of him!!
