Not just another pretty girl...

She left the place where we were gathered...

"Look who's got a crush on his best friend's girl friend...." one of my friends teased....

"what..?? i don't"  I  lied...

"You couldn't take your eyes off her...and you were laughing your ass off for her stupid jokes..."

"Its just that she's damn attractive....and her jokes were good.."

"dude ...you were laughing when she said 'It is a great evening...'that my friend is the blindness of L-O-V-E..."

My friends couldn't stop mocking....I didn't stop lying...

Days passed....Me and my friends went for that food fest....It was grand...

She was there....with her friends...looking stunning and pale...with a cute smile all over her face...I couldn't stop seeing her...

I tried to distract myself...I tried to ignore her...But just her presence in the same room i was in  disturbed my perceptions...

I went for the drinks section...A friend of mine asked me to pick up a drink for him too...I didn't even look in the direction she was in...I picked two glasses of some weird looking red drink...I didn't mind....I wanted to get out of that section...

Don't know why i did that...but i gave a quick glance at her...she was waving her hand and smiling...I pretended not to notice her and started rushing towards my friends....

It was then my inner self started confusing me...

"Dude...You are the rudest son of the bitch on the planet"

"I wasn't being rude...I just pretended like not seeing her"

"Ha ha...Like she doesn't know your eyes were all over her.."

"Just shut up...I don't even know whether she was waving towards me.."

"Man..he is your best friend...and he loves her very much...you cant go on pretending...atleast try behave normal around her"

This got me in a disarray....Shit he is my best pal....I mustn't let this go on...

"OK..you win...I'll go there n say a quick Hi...n leave.."

My eyes searched for her....She was getting near the exit...kinda looking sad...

"Am i just imagining things..??"

"May be , May be not...only one way to be sure..just a Hi wont hurt you." my inner self

I hurried through the crowd towards the exit...pushing,shoving myself...I got near her...I think i heard some guy calling out my name...I didn't turn...I was gonna turn up in front of her...Just then a man with a sharp moustache bumped into me...oops and shit...I forgot all about the drinks in my hand....It splashed all over me...that weird looking red drink...over my white shirt...kinda smelt funny too...

She looked back....n started smiling...

"You are Arun right...??"

"Yeah...one of his friends..."

"You okay now...??"

"Yeah..Hmm...kinda...leaving already??"

"Yeah..Gotta go with friends...Bye.."

"Bye"....

I could hear her giggling...

"Shit i must never have listened to you"

"Atleast now we know that she didn't wave towards you..." my inner self...

"Get lost.."

I went near the place where my friends were standing....

Suddenly they burst into a fit of laughter.....

"And You said you didn't have a crush on her..."

and the mockery started....
