22 A New Face

She was walking by his side while holding hands,

It was for the first time that Ana started feeling for Kevin.

She had some feelings for him but they were buried deep inside her, but with that incident, those feelings got excavated.

When her feelings were deep inside her heart, she was confused,

She could not even look straight into the eyes of Kevin when she got to know that Kevin had a crush on her.

But now things were different when Kevin lightly grabbed her hands, she had some tingling feelings inside her.

As soon as he touched her hands, she unfurled her fingers and let his palm slip around hers until she could feel the heat of his palm pressed against her own.

The heat coming from his palm warmed her heart.

At that moment Kevin was looking forward but Ana wasn't.

Ana was looking straight towards Kevin.

This was for the first time she noticed that he had a cute face, his light brown eyes were agleam with delight, they complemented with his silky dark brown hair with an ever-friendly smile on his face.

She was unconsciously staring him,

after a few moments she realized that she was looking towards him for too long.

Realizing that she was really shy and embarrassed.

Inside she said,

' You idiot, he is just a kind and a caring friend, that's all.

Don't think anything extra.

I have to make him fell for Ria, I can not think anything more about him.

(pause)

But why was I looking him constantly?

Why I feel safe whenever I am near him?

Why suddenly I feel something whenever he is near me?

What are these feelings? '

Suddenly she heard a voice coming from the back.

"Kevvy, Ana wait

We are coming "

As she turned, she saw Richy was running towards them while Ria was slowly walking.

As soon as she saw Ria, she tensed her muscles and pulled her hand away from his.

Kevin also balled his fist and shoved his hand in his pocket, but he couldn't replace her warmth.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Inside Kevin was shivering,

In flow, he said those things and grabbed Ana's hand but after a few moments, he also realised that he was holding her hands.

For him to hold the hands of a girl whom he liked was really a big deal.

That sweet moment could not last for long,

Ana pulled her hand suddenly after hearing a voice,

Apparently, it was Richy who broke their sweet moment, good thing was that he didn't notice them holding hands.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Ria was not angry on the contrary, she came towards them and suddenly bowed down towards Ana saying,

" Sorry, yesterday I said a lot of things.

I know I was rude, and it wasn't even your fault.

Sorry, please accept my apologies. "

Ana suddenly forgets everything and was relieved that Ria was not mad at her.

She smiled and said,

" Actually I was really worried,

I thought you will never talk to me again.

(pause)

Let's forget everything and better be friends. "

Kevin and Richy had a confused face, they were scratching their head while thinking what might have happened between them.

They then went together to the college

After reaching college Kevin and Ria went straight to their class.

Today Kevin had a large and cheerful smile on his face and Ria was wondering what could have happened.

Ria was also unconsciously starting at him

while staring at him she thought,

' When we are in class, my eyes are always on him.

I don't want him to notice my gaze so I always stare a little.

And sometimes I wonder,

(pause)

What does it mean to like someone,

Do people just stumble into it all of a sudden? '

While thinking those things, she was looking at him when suddenly their sight coincide,

She turned her face towards the right and started acting weird. Kevin didn't notice that changed behaviour and started reading the book.

Someone who was sitting behind them saw everything, he saw how Ria was staring at Kevin and Kevin didn't notice a thing.

He stood up and went towards Ria,

Ria was lost in her own thoughts there when he suddenly said,

"Do you like Kevin? "

Ria was surprised hearing that from someone whom she rarely talks.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

He was Ian, the class topper and he had a crush on Ria.

He was kinda introvert, he always felt shy while talking to girls.

Although he was kinda good looking but due to his behaviour people rarely talked with him.

He always showed himself in poise with a little amount of ego. He always studies and doesn't want people to disturb him while he studied.

This was the main reason he didn't have many friends.

But inside he always craved for a friend. He always acted fake ego and poise so that his introverted nature does not show up but on the contrary, due to his act people went far away from him.

When he is in class, he always stares Ria.

He always felt jealous, seeing her with Kevin.

He always thinks, I study a lot, I top the class but still, Ria don't ask doubts from me instead, she asks from Kevin who is a mediocre guy.

---------------------------------------------------------------

"Ian you surprised me.

(pause)

What did you just say?" Ria said that while making a weird face towards Ian?

Ian with his fake egoistic face said,

" I saw everything, you always stare at him.

Do you like him?"

" It's none of your business" she turned her face while blushing.

Ian understood everything,

"What do you like about him,

Just tell me."

First time Ian said something while getting embarrassed, this time his face was totally different. There was no poise on him, on the opposite side he was red.

Ria also saw him like this for the first time.

For him to say something like this was not expected at all. He never goes and talks to anyone like that.

Ria was surprised, and in a calm voice said

"Relax, what happened to tell me."

Suddenly Ian realized that he showed is true nature.

Without saying a thing, he ran from there.
