Who's The Lucky Girl? - Part I

   The first day of the new college life is always a day to remember for the rest of our lives, or so they say!My first day at college was nothing too special.A bunch of new faces checking me out from top to bottom(especially the boys!), lecturers showing their bossy attitude and seniors probably strategising on how to rag me.I didn't speak a word to anybody other than a few friendly hi-hellos.It was a normal day at a new college.But there was this one boy of my class who seemed different than the rest.To begin with he was quite short, timid, had really small eyes and walked kinda weirdly.I joined classes about 2 weeks late,so by then the rest of the classmates knew each other and I was their new topic of discussion.While everybody stared at me and whispered around me, the boy with the weird walk seemed to not notice me.
   A few days then a few weeks and finally a month went by.My classmates and I got to know each other quite well and started hanging out a lot.Well, except for the boy who walked weirdly.Even after a month he didn't seem to notice me at all.I was a little uncomfortable with this because I observed that he was more than friendly with everybody else in class except me!His attitude towards me was very different and rather rude.He even began ignoring me which disturbed me quite a lot,because I knew for sure I had not offended him in any way to be receiving this attitude from a new classmate.I even asked his friends if there was any problem, to which I was suggested to talk to him directly.
    Mustering all the courage I had I confronted the boy with the weird walk.I Asked him "Hey!I'm sorry but did I do anything to you?cuz you have been ignoring me and avoiding me a lot".
    I could see from his face that he was not expecting me to attack him in this way.He started talking in this really weird accent which was clearly put on and was quiet funny and cute.He said "No...no...nothing like that.I've just been thinking a lot and when I think I don't talk much to people".
    I admit I wanted to roll on the floor laughing with his answer but not wanting to offend him I continued the conversation "Oh!That's nice.So what have you been thinking so deeply about?"
    His accent became even more strange when he replied "I write songs and that's what I've been trying to do.When I write songs I become very silent and start thinking very deeply".
    We continued our conversation and I must confess the boy with the weird walk and a weird accent began to grow on me.He seemed very sweet and cute and his weirdness made him all the more interesting.As our conversation pursued on I couldn't control my curiosity and finally asked if I could see his song, and surprisingly he showed it to me.It was a beautiful song about a girl and his feelings for her.It was entitled "My angel".He had poured his heart out on that piece of paper and it was a very touching song of how he loved a girl but had no courage to go up and talk to her because of all the other boys who were always around her.
    After having finished going through the unfinished song I remarked "It's a beautiful song.I wonder who the lucky girl is!".
    He only smiled and said "It's only a song.I've written just half of it now."

     Continued from ---- Who's the lucky girl - I

 Over a couple of months the boy with the weird walk and I became really good friends.After our conversation he stopped giving me the rude attitude.I didn't understand why, yet I didn't ask him because I thought it must be a part of his weirdness.We started spending quite a lot of time during the college hours and having loads of fun.We had the perfect friendship that others also began to notice.As the days passed by I completely forgot about our conversation and the song he was writing.His weird accent soon faded off and I could see his normal side.
    A month later, it was a usual monsoon day.Our classes ended so we got to the parking lot to get our respective bikes and head home before the rains poured on us.A few drops of the rain fell on my head.I put my hands in my pocket to get my bike key, but it wasn't there!We looked for it everywhere but couldn't find it.I realised I must have left it in class, so the boy with the weird walk and I went running back to class as the rain drops started to become heavier.
    Just as we got inside the class it started raining cats and dogs.The monsoon days in my city are very unpredictable.One can never know when it will rain and for how long.In spite of being stuck in college because of the heavy rains, I was happy I found my bike key and being stuck wasn't all that bad because the boy with the weird walk was with  me for company.We were having our usual talks with a little bit of gossipping and a little bit of craziness.
    Then I saw his little green book, where he writes his songs, peeping from his bag.I suddenly remembered our first conversation and his unfinished song, and I grabbed it without telling him.He squealed like a little girl, why I didn't know.He tried grabbing it back but the prankster that I am, I held on to that notebook tight.
    He was still yelling, "Oh please!Give it back to me.Don't go through my book."
    I got to the page where he had written the song and I said "I see you have completed the song!I wanna read it" with a big smile.
     He started turning red like a tomato, still squealing and yelling at me.I had never seen him act this way and I was enjoying teasing him.I said "I still don't know who this song was for" and began reading the song loudly."My angel......".
     He turned even more red and finally gave up and bent his head down on the desk.After finishing the beautiful song I asked him "Why on earth are you blushing so much like a girl!I have never seen you like before".
     Then he said "because the girl I wrote the song for is reading it in front of me!!!".
