High School: Way to Forever

She stared into Alex's eyes for her answers but he knew how to hide emotions in her eyes.

She knew that perfectly that he was hiding a lot behind his deep black eyes. From her instincts, she wanted to stay away from him but then her heart said that she knew this person for a very long time.

But who will answer the question that kept on rising higher mind?

"Anna" was all that he said in a husky voice while Anna's face remained different like before.

"I want answers, Alex."

"You are alone right?" asked Alex

"That's not the answer to the question I asked."

"Anna, I get that you have built a wall around you that's why you never allowed anyone to come closer to you."

Anna was shocked. How can a person whom she met just a few days ago know her much better than her and say some words that her mother has been saying for so many years?

Anna lowered her face and started walking towards her house without answering Alex.

But Alex had no intention of letting her go. 

He held her wrist and stopped her.

"I can see your eyes and read them too, you have a thing for me. You are looking for some adventure, to know yourself more but you are holding back yourself. If you are really interested in knowing more, look for me. I don't have any ill intentions towards you Anna. Trust me in this." After saying this he let go of her wrist and started walking back to his car.

Anna stood there. After he left she let go of her breath. The emotions were not visible on her face because her heart was in so much pain! She simply wanted to remove everything!

She was holding so much in herself. Opening up to someone is the only option. But is she allowed?

After coming home, she went upstairs and called Alena.

She told her about everything.

"I knew it very well you have a crush on him. I can't stop you, Anna, you have to make a decision for yourself. I don't know him and based on rumors, judging him for you is quite difficult. Well, give it a try. He is the best guy if you want to open up and explore things.

As your best friend, I just want to say, just don't get hurt at the end." Said Alena

Anna sighed. Her brain was a mess at that time. Yes, she should stay away from him but what can she do, when her inner self is yearning for something? Something to explore and fulfill her bucket list before it is too late?

Alex's words were ringing in her mind.

At last, Anna decided to sleep before eating the food because she simply wanted to remove it from her mind...

Next morning,

Again she went to work and it again was a normal weekend. Her life was pretty boring.

In the evening when her work was finished, she saw a car parked outside the gate of the cafe. She felt it was not normal but still thought of ignoring it.

But then too, 'Why the hell is that car following me around? Who are those people?' one side of her heart asked her to go and ask but she held herself back and ran in the direction of her home.

….

Again it was Monday, an important day where she was going to face Alex after that confrontation.
