I was completely prepared for my examination that day. I had been preparing for the course, putting in the 'hard work' that people keep telling you to. I reached the examination centre well in advance so that I could comfortably locate my seat and be stress-free. All of this would have helped me to clear my exams, if it had not been for that girl. The girl that changed my future...
I reached the exam hall at around 10 am. The exam was scheduled to start at 10:30 am.
"Good luck Rishab. Just write what you've prepared for and don't stress out" My neighbor waved me goodbye and drove away. I was getting late and so I had asked him to drop me off.
After waving at the car, which had now sped away, I walked into the centre. I was so confident that I would clear the papers this time. It was one hell of a task to get the papers cleared, especially this one.
I spotted a couple of my friends breaking their heads on a few problems; I considered walking away the best way to avoid them and so I did. I didn't need any last minute 'have you read that' OR 'did you go through this' crap. As I strolled past them, in a hurry to get away from them, I banged into her; the girl that changed everything. As a result of the bang, she had fallen down. I lent her my hand to help her get back up.
"Where the hell do you think you are going? Do you think that you can walk through me? ..." and so she went on; while I stood there, lost in the darkness of her cunning blue eyes.
"What are you looking at, pull me up already!"
"Yeah, sorry" I snapped out of it and pulled her up. I helped her with the books that had fallen down. Soon as this was over, she just walked away, not even bothering a 'thank you.'
I stood there for a while, feasting my eyes on her. I noticed that her hair was held together with a clip and her dark black hair fell a little below her shoulders. It swayed lightly from the force with which she walked away.
"What up dude? Is everything set for today?" A cheerful voice that came from behind me snapped me out of her charm.
I turned around to address the voice. "I don't know. I hope I clear it this time."
I had already failed twice.
I looked back to see her but she had gone. She was very beautiful. The kind of beauty you don't get to see every day.
"Let's go, we're getting late." Abhinav hurried me down the hallway into our examination room. For a moment I had forgotten about the exam. That was something which didn't happen to me before.
The girl had made me forget the exam in just a minute.
We got in and found our seats quick enough. I found my seat at the left end of the middle row. I took a quick look around.
The hall was big enough for someone to sneak in a cheat sheet and not get caught but unfortunately for me, the thought didn't occur to me earlier.
The examination began moments after we got settled. The question paper didn't seem that difficult to answer but the girl's image kept disturbing me. I could swear on everything dear to me that in the 24 years that I have lived, I haven't seen a girl like that. This may sound absurd but trust me.
Half an hour into the exam, I had completed one-third of the paper and decided to take a look around; to see how the others were doing. This was when I spotted the girl, sitting at the other end of the row in front of mine. Her seat was strategically placed next to the window. I couldn't help but stare; stare or admire or whatever you call it, I was doing that. She had taken off her clip and her hair fell loose; seemed to be longer than before. My eyes were now studying every little detail of her body. She wore glasses, the kind you normally see in 'teacher porn'. Her nose was a little sharp but didn't seem out of place. Her body was similar to that of an hour glass. She had nice curves.
I was interrupted by the hourly bell, which reminded me that I was running out of time. Also, the invigilator focused his attention to me. Getting back to the exam seemed the right thing at the time, while my mind went into the wild imagination state. It wasn't long before I heard her voice. She asked for extra sheets.
"She is writing the paper well and so should I" should have been my thought but instead, "wow! She has a sexy voice" was all that passed me. And so, I went back to explore her with my eyes. My focus went straight to her breasts; it caused some movement in my pants, if you know what I mean. Hers were a nice pair of 34C breasts; nice and round. Her perky nipples caught my attention when she sat straight and took a deep breath. (Now, I know about breast sizes as I did a management project on lingerie shops.)
A slow breeze that blew in through the window brought to me the smell of her perfume. It really turned me on. I hadn't had sex in months and I was on the brink of blowing my load. I went back to my exam to save myself the embarrassment. I spent the best part of the next hour writing the exam but all of that seemed Greek and Latin. I knew for sure that I won't clear my papers this time too. I don't exactly have a rational reason for why I liked her. I can recall girls who are way hotter and more beautiful, for that matter, than her but for some unknown reason; I couldn't keep my eyes off of her. It was like I was under a spell; and so, as it goes without saying, I turned back to her. This was when I noticed the most amazing thing.
She was staring at me too. Obviously she turned away soon after she saw me, but I knew she was looking.
Now, I don't want to boast myself, but I am one of the attractive guys. I'm not saying that I am a Greek God in looks but I have had a few girls come behind me. The fact that she was also taking a look made me a little more uncomfortable in my pants. I was semi-hard and was sure to become completely hard. I took a quick peek and caught her looking at me again.
Before we knew it, the final bell had rung and we had to hand over the papers. I was sure about the result but that was not my concern at the moment.
The area cleared out soon enough and finally I gathered up myself and asked her to wait for a while. She did so, and we walked out together. I learned that her name was Sonia and that she lived two blocks away from my home.
"This is convenient", I thought.
We exchanged numbers and parted ways.
*********************
That night, all I could think about was Sonia. How she looked, the way she spoke, the smell of her perfume, etc. She was all over my head. It was around 11:30 pm when my phone rang. I picked it up. It was Sonia. For a moment, I didn't know what to do. Why is she calling me now? Anyway, I didn't want to show myself as needy. So, I let it ring for a few seconds before I slid my finger across the screen to pick up the call.
"Hello?" I tried to sound casual.
"Hi. I'm Sonia, from the exam hall, remember?"
"How could I forget you, my sweetheart" I thought to myself.
"Yes. I do remember. How can I forget such a wonderful person?"
"Yeah, I wanted to know if we can meet up sometime?" she paused, probably blushing to herself. "What do you think?"
"Anything for you, you don't need to be shy, you're not sixteen anymore. Are you?" I spoke too soon before I processed it. I didn't like how I sounded.
"Ok. How about tomorrow at Hanna's Café? Around 7 pm? You're Ok with that?"
"Sure. I'll meet you there. Good night." I spoke again, without processing.
