Malik liked me alot, and it felt good that I had someone who would continuously think of me, and always wants to hear from me.
it's a good feeling and I wish your in my shoes to have experienced it.
I on the other hand, I also liked him, no scratch that, I was in love with him. but I couldn't bring myself to admit that. Why? because I was a sophomore and falling for someone my senior, my roommate would definitely laugh at me. so I kept my love for him hidden, and told him i liked him.
I could see the disappointment in his eyes when i said "liked instead of "love".

my name is Anna, and this is my story.

Maya my roommate always likes going to classes with me, but that particular day, I had to leave her behind because I wanted to sit at the front row.
when I entered the class hall, I quickly made my way to the front, and listened attentively to the lecturer. once he was through, I picked up my bag and made my way out. Malik class wasn't far from mine, so I passed in front of it, hoping to catch a glimpse of him. and yes I did, but not just a glimpse, he dragged me inside his class and I couldn't help but smile as the butterflies in my belly where already gibbering. We sat down and talked for a long time and I couldn't stop smiling to the sweet nothings he was saying. we felt so compatible as we never lacked what to discuss at any given time. it was almost six and I knew it was time to head back to my hostel. as we weren't allowed to stay outside till 7pm. I didn't want to go, but he promised me we would definitely see each other tomorrow. and I smiled as I went back to my hostel.
Maya was sitting outside with Sophia outside, they saw the smile on my face wondering what good thing happened to me. I told them about my little time with Malik and I could see they were happy for me.
or so I thought.
