I was fine until the last bell rang. As soon as I knew that school was over, my heart started pounding harder with each passing minute. I am continuously telling myself to clam down and act normal. I don't know why is this even affecting me so much?

I walk out of the locker room with Crystal, Ella, Cara and Hazel. They all know it well that I am freaking out.

"Rose, listen to me. It's okay. You are not going there to fight a battle. It's just 'Talk. Reject. Move on' kind of thing." Ela says. I nod, but who am I kidding? I am still freaking the hell out of me.

I do a pretty good job at dealing with my anxiety. Now, don't I?

I am trying to walk as slow as I can. Baby steps. By my each step the distance gets smaller. It was not much time when I saw Andy, Dev, Sam and one guy standing at the gate from a distance.

Can I run? God I just want to run. Cara is literally half dragging me towards the gate by my hand. When did I tell her to be my mother? I mean Mom seriously drags me to talk to my relatives this way.

Andy notices us walking in his direction. He then talks to that stranger guy noding towards us. I think that was Evan. I am not able to see his face properly as his back is facing us.

As we reache there I snatch my hand away from Cara giving her a death glare. I did not look at Evan first.

Crystal tells me they would be standing at some distance. Andy gestured me to talk to the guy in front of me and he walked towards Crystal. Dev too went with Hazel. How nice of them to leave me alone here? At least they did not leave me alone, I had Sam with me. But Sam seriously?

"Look up Rose and say whatever you wanted to say." Sam says in a low voice.

I finally decided to look up. As I look at him my eyes go wide. His hazel eyes shining due to sun rays. His hairs pushed backwards. His lips has a slight hint of red. And he is tall, taller than me. I can't tear my eyes away from him.

Wait, what? What is happening to me?

He clears his throat and I shake my head to get rid of my thoughts. Damn! I really can't stop staring at him.

Gaining my consciousness back, I turn to Sam. Who was smiling at me. I narrow my eyes at him.

"Is he Evan?" I ask knowing that he is exactly in front of me.

"Yes, he is Evan." Sam says with a smirk on his face.

I cannot believe that a guy for whom any girl will fall, likes me. I know it can be a prank, but I don't want to think that it's a prank anymore. I could look in his eyes for hours. The shine in his eyes and charm on his face is what can attract anyone towards him.

"Is this Evan?" I ask again not convinced.

"Yes, Rose HE is Evan. Why are you asking it again and again?" Sam asks a little irritated by me.

I again look at Evan, who is looking at his left. He then looks at me. I don't know what is happening to me.

A chill runs through the back of my spine. And believe me my heart skipped a beat. Excuse me?

I'm asking my brain to tell me what I've come here for, but it responds a blank answer.

*This page is currently not available.*

No! No! First my heart which was pounding so hard against my chest before I saw him, it suddenly skipped a beat at his sight and now my brain who had prepared a three page long speech before meeting him, is responding blankly? What is wrong with me?

He is still waiting for me to talk. But, how can I start when I don't know what to say? This is something I was not at all prepared for.

I turn around and start walking away from there. I can't stay over there anymore or else I'll go insane. Sam calls me but I don't stop. Andy, Crystal, Hazel, Ela, Dev and Cara notices me leaving. Crystal and Cara run behind me.

"Rose. What happened? Why did you walk away?" Crystal asks a little worried.

"No I did not." I say looking away from them.

"Yes, you did. We were looking at you. You didn't even say a word to Evan and you walked away from there." Crystal says in a soft tone.

"What happened Rose? Why didn't you talk to him?" Cara asks calmly. I see Andy, Dev, Ela, Hazel and Sam jogging towards us.

"I don't know. My mind was blank. And was it really so important to talk to him anyway?" I try to keep my tone normal. I don't want them to think I reacted in this manner because of Evan.

"Rose, you okay?" Andy asks totally confused by my behaviour.

"I am sorry to react this way, but I promise to talk to you all about this later." I say. Crystal and Cara tells them that they will talk to me and inform them.

Ela and Hazel gives me a small hug and tells me they will meet me when I am fine. I thank them for being so understanding and leave from there.
