Mike's POV:

"Dude!!! You must have missed me Don't you?" Brandon said punching on my shoulder.

"No, I miss... I miss Mina" I said unconsciously with my eyes stuck on her seat in front. Then I came to my senses and with widened eyes I turned, but Brandon was already looking at me with a confused look.

"I..." before I could say something his lips curved into a smile succeeding with a mocking laughter.
This is embarrassing now.

"You like her, don't you?" he asked me punching in my stomach, well that was friendly but obviously painful.

I thought I can tell him everything; he could help me a bit, right? So I planned to spill it out.

"Brandon I don't know why, but she is different!" I started.

"Different? She has a pair of eyes and ears a nose and a mouth, I don't think she is different!" he said with a shrug.

"Brandon I'm serious! Different in another way"

"Can you please elaborate Mr. Mander?" he asked raising his eyebrow.

"I hate her to the core when I first met her at the washroom..."

"You guys first met in the washroom?" He asked me in shock.

" Umm yes? I'll tell about it later!" I said quickly and continued.

"She had no manners and patience, always in a hurry; she understands everything only half and begins to shout for silly things and I hate that! But she is a funny and an adorable girl. She cannot accept any betrayals, her heart is too weak to accept them, but she always deserves the best." I said with a smirk and turned towards Brandon. He was with his mouth opened.

"Mike, you love her!" he said.

My heart skipped beats and the fact is, yes I love her!

"I thought I can speak to her about it today because I too doubt her but not sure and I think I need a little more time" I said.

"I think you have waited for a long time, now or never!" Brandon said firmly.

"Fine..."

"You've got anything to give her?" he asked me.

"I've got this!" I said and took a small keychain from my pocket.

It was a small minion with heart coolers; I don't know why, but when I see it I immediately get reminded of her.

"Sorry buddy I hate minions, but I guess she likes it!" he replied.

"What else you like?" I asked him.

"Deadpool!" he said giving a swag.

"Oh he's a king, man!" I commented back.

"Now what?" I asked him after giving a deep sigh.

"It's simple! You have two choices, either confess in the middle of the class like how you see in classic teen stories, or if you are a bit shy about it, you can just call her out of the class and tell her how you are feeling!"

And without thinking I agreed to the second choice.

I stood up from my place, this is easy, I thought I ran my fingers at the back of my neck a few times and I looked back to Brandon once again,

"Cheers buddy!" he said with a thumbs up and I made my way to her seat.

She was talking with Lia, I could not see her face cause she sat with her body facing Lia and Lia was sitting opposite to her, so she din't had any idea about me standing behind her, until I mimicked like a minion. I had no idea of the topic which they were discussing and I was least bothered about it too, I thought she would compliment on my mimic but no it was worse,

She started to scream all of a sudden, this made me freak back because I was already nervous and her screaming made it hell! And atlast I completely lost the interest of talking to her.

I just managed the situation somehow; yeah it was really awkward, I just gave her the keychain and went back to my seat.
Brandon was cursing me too the core, but I bet he should have been in my situation.

Later when our teacher said about the trip, I got an idea, I looked at Brandon he nodded his head and said,

"Mike this..." before he could finish I said,

"I will do it!"

***

My parents don't mind me going anywhere, so permission was not a matter.
It was the day of the trip; I usually prefer the back seats, because that's far more spacious! We were enjoying ourselves to the fullest!

Sky was losing its color and night was falling, everyone in the bus slept, Brandon? I could hear only his sound snoring.

So everyone slept and I'm sitting still like an owl,

What is Mina doing? My mind was asking me.

'Wait let me see' said my eyes and I peeped out from my seat.

She din't sleep still? Gazing stars? And where does this Lia went now? That doesn't matter!

Can I sit next to her, a good chance Mike! Just tell her, everyone is asleep now. Fine!

So I just texted her and she was fine with it so I made my way silently to her seat, making sure I was not waking up anybody.

"Hey minion!" I whispered as I sat next to her. My eyes fell on that keychain which was hanging on her phone case.

I thought, first I can start with some normal talks. She suggested some music and yes they were pretty good.

I was singing A whole new world looking at her for the phrase 'Tell me princess' cause I used her as the metaphor here.

And eventually we started to make a whisper duet! Her voice was so nice though I could hear only a ten percent of it.

I want to sing louder but I don't want sleeping souls to become audiences now.

We started with some pointless chats and I thought I can tell her now! I din't face her, my view was straight and I started,

"Mina, you know what? Sometimes we cannot admit things that are happening randomly, they are happening for a purpose!"

"Oh really?" she asked me yawning.

"And how can a small word make everything go so beautiful? And you think it's something magical?"

"And I would say it's definitely a magic cause I never thought I would fall for you Mina!" I said.

I made it! Din't I? But why there is no reply from her side?

I turned and found herself lost in sleep.
Can't you be awake for another 2 minutes girl????

Anyway we'll try it better next time! I thought I can get some light music and plugged in my earphones cause I don't know why the hell only I'm not getting that damn sleep now.

I randomly changed few songs and I stopped on,

'Little things, one direction'

I usually don't listen to songs all the time, but I found something very beautiful with this song's lyrics. I slowly turned towards Mina; her hair was slightly moving in the light breeze which escaped through the windows. She was sleeping like a kid, so innocent.

'I'm in love with you and all your little things' I sang the last line slowly looking at her, she doesn't know it, cause she was so deep in her sleep.

I then took a blanket from my bag and covered her and I could remember only her face beside me before I fell asleep literally at 3:am, but that doesn't make me to wake up late, I was ahead of her the next morning, I din't have enough sleep, but I was not tired too!
