Kiaan's POV
I went to this book store near our school everyday after my basketball classes. But today I didn't have any so I just decided to go and read a new book.
But I accidently bumped into Ira. Wait is she also a regular here?
I was staring at her and she suddenly looked at me and if you accidentaly ever just make an eye contact with the girl you like you just get lost.
She smiled awkwardly at me, I didn't know what say.446Please respect copyright.PENANALHyW1EOWG4
"Hi, Kiaan" she said, slightly waving of her hand.446Please respect copyright.PENANAmBjyZAZMKZ
"Hey" my voice was slightly trembling with nervousness.446Please respect copyright.PENANA9cxwwHZBrh
446Please respect copyright.PENANADVAD9plBsq
That moment of awkwardness quickly faded away, as she started bombarding me with questions. I asked her if she would like to grab a coffee. She hesitated for a moment, but then agreed. So we sat down at a cafe near our school and she started bombarding me again.446Please respect copyright.PENANA3f8qnqlzx8

I was so nervous but talking about my love for books and my favorite authors, I felt comfortable. Ira was all too eager to share her thoughts about the books she read before.446Please respect copyright.PENANAKsyjLOrXod
"So which is your favorite book?" she asked.446Please respect copyright.PENANAAAoIGQ63VD
"I am particularly obsessed with 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen" she said446Please respect copyright.PENANAD2MVCDyJ8B
446Please respect copyright.PENANAZPP6USGpSk
We both had long conversation about the books with liked. Our taste in books was completely opposite from each-other. But still she happily listened to it.
Ira told me about some of her favourite books and the various adaptations that have been made of it . I felt really happy seeing Ira so happy while talking about the books. I was enjoying the conversation and wanted it to last forever.446Please respect copyright.PENANAjdeHXInxDM
446Please respect copyright.PENANA2UFfGtwhgD
I felt a connection with Ira to an extent that was hard to explain. I wanted to talk to her more, but she excused herself, saying that she had to go somewhere.446Please respect copyright.PENANAmzSYUCHzYc
While I was still trying to digest my feelings for her, when she said goodbye and left.
Ira's POV
I felt a bit uncomfortable after I realised what I was doing. When I first met Kiaan I thought he was an ordinary classmate, but after our conversation a month ago It felt like he was not. I felt like we could be bestfriends, but then again I didn't want to.446Please respect copyright.PENANA63LYb0t5ii
I almost told him everything about me. It felt like history was repeating itself all over again.446Please respect copyright.PENANAcZMX0YXydo
That evening, I was still thinking about the time spend with Kiaan, I felt like I should have stayed for longer.
Author's POV
Ira laid in bed with a thousand emotions running through her head.446Please respect copyright.PENANAwvnVIg7AcK
Meanwhile Kiaan was still trying to make sense of his emotions too.
He realized he liked Ira, but was scared of how Ira felt about him. He too felt embarrassed for sharing his feelings for Ira.446Please respect copyright.PENANAlMoTJKrYBk

The next day at school, the two sat down together at lunch. They both smiled shyly at each other and then started talking about books and authors.
It was obvious that Kiaan was interested in Ira, but Ira was was completely unaware about Kiaan's feeling.446Please respect copyright.PENANAKYnrd3DKL8
The conversation went from one book to another, and it felt like nothing had changed in the past 24 hours.
They both were still discussing books and authors, but it felt so much more intimate this time. It felt like they were lost in their own world, talking candidly about their passions and dreams.
Kiaan looked at Ira and slowly asked her,446Please respect copyright.PENANAoVjty5mFSr
"Hey, do you think we could meet again and grab coffee sometime? I want to know more about you"446Please respect copyright.PENANAJPVXH2SbZC
Ira was taken aback by this, she looked at Kiaan and said "Sure, I'll see if I can manage that"
