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.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4L9izw41j
"Hi, Kiaan" she said, slightly waving of her hand.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw0aK2Z5Ei
"Hey" my voice was slightly trembling with nervousness.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dvCNbcOFG
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZh0Mj7Jyd
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.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoT5unJp4b

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.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHGSeRg7Ef
"So which is your favorite book?" she asked.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkdw1qmvY4
"I am particularly obsessed with 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen" she said244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek6LV0KDBd
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89BrFDrwo2
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.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk4hd5YkOv

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.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4SHa3Zi57
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.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAZpLZGpQd
I almost told him everything about me. It felt like history was repeating itself all over again.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSO57mTEft
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.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TlzadDFQS
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.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg82Mj7RgLa

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.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8y0MdQZcM
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,244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WiqchbKHH
"Hey, do you think we could meet again and grab coffee sometime? I want to know more about you"244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7XgjQkO5D
Ira was taken aback by this, she looked at Kiaan and said "Sure, I'll see if I can manage that"
