CHAPTER 1

My whole day gets over staring at her. Her eyes, her lips, her hair. And her freaking boyfriend. I'm following her at almost all her accounts, but I didn’t even know whether she even noticed me or not.

“Hey Rob” Albus shook me “Mr Clark is calling”

“Mr Robert White, what did I just say?” Mr Clark interrogated

“What did I just say!” I answered hilariously.

“You think this is funny. You are always lost, daydreaming of I dunno what shit. Get out of my room.” Mr Clark yelled.

“Well!” Albus laughed “third time in the week”.

Albus, my best friend and I were seat partners and Catherine Wilson, my love sat with Laura White. Laura was the monitor of the class and god damn she yelled a lot. The next day was our first physics lecture and Mr Evans assigned seat partners on his own. I just hoped that my whole two years would not get devastated by sitting with a moron. My college days were not so good. Having only one guy to talk to, and one girl to stare, also her cuddling with her boyfriend whose name was still unknown to me. He was a senior by a year and was proud of his so-called swag.

My home situation was even worse. My mom was a journalist and in her free time she used to blog the online dating sites. My dad spent his time in the couch sleeping, watching television, reading stuffs and was a businessman, and I'd no idea of what business my dad was indulged in. he'd always forced me to go to the central park with him to have a jog which I hated the most. My dad and mom were of course, getting a divorce after 23 years of marriage and having a kid of 19 years.

At night, it’s like a routine that I opened up Catherine’s photo and I'd even saved it in my phone. And I never got a good sleep at night.

            “Where the hell were you been” I asked to Albus who came around 30 minutes late.

“Woke up late. Was talking to Peyton late night.”

Peyton is his girlfriend who shifted to Canada. Peyton has a boyfriend over there and Albus don’t even know this.

“Good morning students” Mr Evans entered the class and has a really bold voice “you all must be familiar that I assign the seating partners. But I won’t do it this time and the partners you’re seating with will last for two years.”

I was extremely happy listening to this. Our physics lecture lasted for two and a half hours and is complete torture.

Mr Evans gave a 15 minutes break after teaching for almost an hour.

“Hey, I've great news for you” Albus added “Ms Wilson is no more in relationship.”

“What!” I exclaimed with shock, a happy shock

“Yup, I saw her fighting with Ron, yeah that his name, got to know yesterday only. I was peeping them while they’re in cafe. Then one thing led to another and they broke up. She said it’s over and the male party was pretty cool as if he’s not struck by this.” He took a long breadth “Make a move, grab that pig.”

“Are you kidding me? Me asking out a girl?!”

“What worse can happen? She’ll say no or yes.”

“I can be killed. Last time I asked out a girl, she said yes for a coffee but never made to the coffee house. Yet. ”

“Come on dude, if you’re a dude then go over”

An idea struck like a thunder

“Hey, let’s trade seats” I added

“What?”

“Tell Catherine that you have a crush on Laura. And want to ask her out” I told ‘m.

“I don’t remember, who was the one asking out?” he added

“Please man for your buddy”

“Well I don’t see that happening”

“How worse it may go” I said

“I can be killed and this time I’m serious”

“Please. If you’re a dude.”

“Okay! I’ll go.” he added “another thing I would like to tell”

“Shoot”

“I don’t like you plus I'm happily committed to Peyton.”

I said nothing. He went over to their seat and I put my head down with my ears open.

“Excuse me. Catherine is it?” Albus started the conversation.
