New session like always started in early april. It's always then, to meet new faces & a desperate doubt whether one will glimpse those old faces or not.

I was happy to find all my old friends along with me in same section, another joyful year to it's rise. Also then a new... "pretty" face, n-no- th-then i wasn't in this tangled web of feelings, but still he was... pretty back then too. Ugh!!!!

       He was... pretty, ofcourse! Ahem, wasn't the shy kind.. aloof?.. maybe a bit, though he engaged everywhere nattering without a delay but still had a sole space of his own somewhere between the verse.

Our first chance upon occured in the late spring or i guess early summer, it was during one of the sports period, prior that we were just classmates who just nodded away the greets without any real interactions. This incident was more of when I got to know about him, suppose it was me who he opened upto first-most then.

§ Iyansh and his friends were lost the spurt of games during their weekly sports period. It was mid-may, a good while had flown away like petals of flower in a single bright day. After a while of gaming ecstacy, Iyansh leaves the gaggle, to unwind himself after frolicking away. He went near the benches in shade of tree, where he finds Shineh preoccupying them but to his amaze he sat there alone. §

• "Hi~ What are you doing here? Resting?" He stops at a distance & asks Shineh.

* "Nothing."

• "Hmm, don't wanna join your friends?" He nears in and takes a seat beside him.

* "Don't have yet any."

• "Huh? Not a single by now? But-"

* "But, I am always surrounded or engaged with one or the others in class? That's true but it's only them asking away many things around. You know, one sided"

Dang! One sided friendship also existed? That's harsh. I thought in my mind.

• "So you're just not interested or..."

* "If they wanna be my friend, I don't mind."

• "What do you think, high minded freak? Or we just not good enough to even account as unknown to you, ha?" He gives a brusque reply, annoyed hearing the new student blabber his indifferent thoughts.

* "Don't know bout others, but you sure are good enough for me." He smirks as he gazes at Iyansh.

• "Huh? What? He snickers.

* "Why don't you become my friend?"

• "Sure, but it's me doing favour upon you by accepting your request & yes I'm assuming myself being better than you by doing so. Any problem? He gives a bright radiating smile looking directly Shineh, which entices him.

* "Okay, it'll be a lovely favour. Haha~ He breaks down chuckling, along with Iyansh joining him.

• "Then come join us" he drags Shineh with him, gripping his wrist & conferring a cheerful expressive smile at him.

Since then we entangled around together, with him slowly stepping into the same space as us, all thanks to me. Quite sometime went by then but yet there weren't these clusters of emotions like now. Just when did it began?, hmmm..... ∆

"Ah! Nevermind, I'll think 'bout it later, hah~" sigh.
