As much as i wanted to speak to him, i couldn't. It was a potent mix of awkwardness, my fear that my mouth (which is way quicker than my brain) will blurt out something stupid, and most importantly, the inherent taboo of a girl approaching a guy first.
So i kept my cool. Pretended not to notice. Appearing not to care.
But with an open book in front of me as cover, I stole secret glances his way. His hair fell over his eyes in just the right way, his forehead creased in deep concentration as he wrote furiously in his notepad. He wasn't even trying yet every little thing he did was super adorable.
And then, he shifted in his seat, and i quickly pretended to read again.
Was i caught? Did he see me ogling?
I was lucky as he was already focused on his studying again. Phew~ I took a quick glance at my watch. 5 minutes till my next class, i noted to myself. If i forgo going to my locker to get books, i'd have just enough time to decide whether to go up to him and say hello... or something.
Suddenly, an influx of people started coming in (fresh out of a class probably) and filling out the empty seats that separated us. In truth, the gap between me and him was marginal at best, but with every new person in between us, it felt as if we were sitting at the opposite corners of the world from each other.
Even more annoying was that I could no longer see him from my spot.
And then I realized, a little too late, that I had been staring at the same page (or person) for over an hour without really absorbing anything useful (other than the fact that he was uber cute!).
So i got up and left, totally disappointed with myself.
p/s: And that, ladies and gentleman, just in case u're wondering, is why i do not (or could not!) study in the library.
