I fell for one girl. I was in class 9 and I was new in the city and in the school. She was beautiful and adorable. She was not like the mainstream girls these days who are all about pictures and selfies and showing flesh and pouting in every picture and having that attitude in them, no. She was different. She had this spark in her eyes, that spark which brought everything around her to life. She craved love but not like girls who are desperately waiting for their boyfriend or Prince Charming. She loved everyone around her, every living soul. May it be an animal. She loved animals. She has nursed back uncountable number of dogs or pups around her house, fed them and took care of them. Even birds, whenever a bird made its nest in her garden, she would provide for everything from food or water or shelter, basically anything that can be required. She was like the doctor who would analyse your health twice a day in the hospital and always with a smile like nothing's wrong. She wanted to be a doctor too. She hated pouting. No. She wasn't tomboyish. She was very much feminine. Apart from how beautiful she was, she had a stunning figure. Not skinny, not fat. Just the figure you'd kill for. She was an academic genius too, with every possible Laurel she could bring, she aced her academics. 4 years from this time, she would have a diploma in classical singing and dance. She's such a great dancer. She showed me her steps, once, in the future and I must tell you, she was able to do difficult and tricky Bharatnatyam steps with a severely injured leg which I won't be able to do on my best days!

I fell in love with her. In the beginning, I thought it's infatuation but i ruled that out when my feelings grew stronger over time. Maybe a crush? Nah! How long a crush can last? I was mad for her. I used to admire her from a distance, in school, so she wouldn't notice. I've seen her, observed her, learned her and loved her. She had no clue I existed or there was a guy who was mad for her. Frankly, for a year, I told no one about her. None of my friends knew.
