Capítulo 8: Embarrassment

Even though we are in different courses we have some common subjects. One of the subjects is maths as usual we sat next to each other. Professor came and continued with the lecture. The most hateful subject for me is maths. To my contrast Sally loved this subject. She was on the top coming to maths. So I never dared to disturb her. As usual the class started and I started drawing some trash pictures. Today I taught of drawing some of my classmate pictures. So I started looking for my model. Hehe thats obviously some beautiful guys around me. Today I noticed a new guy. I wanted to draw his picture and started to put on the paper. He has sharp cuts which made my drawing even more beautiful and easy. I stared at him many number of times. Sometimes I got caught by the other students and sometimes directly by him. Even after that I continued with my picture. When I am completely immersed in drawing him bell rang to my surprise the picture is also completed. When I looked at him he went missing. My eyes searched everywhere but I couldn't find him. As it is lunch time I wanted to go to cafeteria so I pulled Sally's hand without looking at her as I know she would be beside me. We went to the cafeteria the whole time I spoke about that mysterious guy. She never spoke a word and walked behind me the entire walkway. It surprised me because she is the one who is crazy about handsome guys. She got a complete list of hunks in our college. So I turned towards her to ask if something bothering her. For a moment my heart skipped and I taught I would get a heart stroke. I shouted like hell. Everyone in the hall looked at me like I'm crazy. It took for a while for me to catch my breath and become normal. My hair is at its tips. I am equally shocked and embarrassed at the moment. The hand I am holding is the one I'm talking the whole time. I couldn't lift my head. It's a big shame for me that I taught of digging a hole right there and bury myself. I couldn't stand the situation and started running blankly the opposite direction. Now I heard Sally running after me shouting to stop me. After I made sure that he is not anywhere in the sight of me I am able to stop. I couldn't stop crying and hugged her. But to me surprise she started laughing like hell. I felt like killing her on the spot and with rage I asked her why she is laughing like that. Then she hugged me again and said he is her brother whom she is telling the whole time. I made even more awkward and I couldn't be able to face both Sally and her Brother. Suddenly bell rang and without a word we went to our respective classes. It was really a big embarrassment to me. So I decided to go home alone without telling Sally and I wanted to avoid both Sally and her brother. So in the evening after completion of my class with out looking for her I went directly to my home. In the night Sally called me several times but I have no courage to answer her calls. It felt weird everytime I got a call from her it delighted me but now her call made me recall the incidents of the afternoon. So I shut down my mobile and went to sleep. In the morning I am still not able to face her so I took a leave and stayed in my room. I said the whole incident to my mom, she laughed to her hearts content which made me even more angrier. In the evening Sally directly came to my house but I pretended I am not there in the house with the help of my mom and avoided her. My mom felt bad but she doesn't want to embarrass me so she cooperated with me. I felt bad but I couldn't face her. It followed the next two days. Mom tried to persuade me but it didn't help me. Both mom and Sally couldn't tolerate it so mom called Sally and told the entire situation to her. The both planned and mom allowed Sally to my house without my knowledge. She lied to me that Sally left and called me down. When I'm down I saw Sally sitting in the couch and waiting for me. Seeing her I tried to run back to my room. But mom caught me and made me to sit with Sally. I felt nervous and don't know what to say. I was trembling and embarrassed sitting beside her I didn't dare to look at her. Then I heard her apology for not telling me beforehand and for laughing at my awkward moment. I felt sorry for her. There is no mistake on her side but still she wanted to say sorry to maintain our relationship. I couldn't forgive me for what I've been doing these days and tears started flowing down my cheeks. Sally hugged me real hard this time I burst out and apologised for my mistakes. Time went and we got settled, mom bought juice and cake for both of us. Then she said he is her brother. He felt sorry for what happened to me. She said he didn't think it would disturb our relation and he felt bad for us. It added to my embarrassment. But now I felt a little relieved but still I am not ready to face him.
