MY TEENAGE LOVE STORY (PART-5)

   During the Time of Depression, people often don't go out of the House and tend to stay alone as long as they Feel normal and then They take the decision to step out. And as I said that I was a Science Student, so Science lafe(I know its life, for better comedy effect). Even if I wanted I couldn't stay at Home so I had to go College and Classes by hook and crook daily due to Practicals and attendance criteria. As in last part, I said that Alex didn't came to College... the next day i.e. Sunday, we met in Classes. As we had Different batches but same time, Alex met me After the lecture was over. He just asked me,"Did You said those 3 words to Gwen?" I with a bit dull tone replied him,"Yes". And without even listening to the full thing Alex rushed to the near Sweet Shop and buyed the biggest Chocolate from there(Cadbury Dairy milk). Alex Gave me the biggest piece and share the rest to the others those who with us saying that,"I am very Happy and This day is Special!!!" As I heard those words I decided not to share what happened, so I stopped and just Smiled in Alex's Happiness. Others were asking that why was He happy? And Alex replied, "You'll Eat chocolate otherwise I'd finish it up. And I'll not give a single piece!!" Infact a week later I got to know that Alex got to knew everything about me from Ella, and I did ask Alex with a fountain of anger the day I got to know about this. He just replied, "I Just want to see You Happy my Friend Peter" and as I heard this I became speechless. 

   Couple of Weeks after the Rejection it was 30th July i.e. Friendship Day, where we all used to tie Friendship bands in hands of our Friends due to which some times conflicts also raised that time. Like His band is so cool, what band is this that You have tied?and conflicts like this and so on. Anyone in this world wouldn't go back to the one from whom they have got rejected. But me no wonder what, even in the phase of Depression thought to give Gwen a good Friendship Band as to show some gratitude. 

 Just before Friendship Day I was out out of money and I managed some how to buy a Good Friendship Band, atleast not the cheap one or the Ribbon one but the one a kind of Bracelet. I buyed a pair of Those Bracelet as I thought that if Gwen would take one and wear than I would wear the another one. I asked for Harry to prefer any sort of gift. And as Harry said that it would be risky I aborted the plan, but I kept the plan of Giving the Bracelet. As I remember it was 29th July just a Day before Friendship Day i.e. on Saturday I talked to Mercy about the Bracelet to hand it over to Gwen and to tell me what was Gwen's reply. I handed over both the Bracelet to Mercy and waited for the result till Monday as the next day was Sunday(official Holiday). The result was expected but the answer wasn't. That is, I thought that I'd get my answer on Monday but I got it on Sunday itself... In Classes after the Lecture, Elsa came to me and said that Mercy told Her to give the message of Gwen to me that,"I don't want it. And if next time he(that's me, wow she remembered me) sends any gifts then I'll bring my Brothers to Beat Him(again it's me... wow) up!!!" After listening this normally anyone would take a step back and stop their works up. But me in a mad face of Depression said Elsa,"Wow, I've got an action partner. She wants to Play Chennai Express (an Indian Movie) with me in real life, that's amazing" Hearing this Elsa laughed and said,"I pretty liked this Bracelet, I'm keeping one." And I was a person with very very very Big Heart (Hahaha don't know) allowed her to take one. I still have that Bracelet in remembrance of the incident. 

   Even knowing that Gwen was madly angry at me I thought to talk to Gwen one more time even though it may be the last time. After few days might be it was Wednesday and it was raining lightly, I decided to speak up I stood near Jesubites college near Gwen's House after our college was over. Even though I had an umbrella I was standing Under the biggest tree in that colony (due to which I was almost wet). As I was waiting, an old school Friend Vincent popped up. Vincent asked me that what was I doing there as His residence was judt behind Jesubites College. I said that I was waiting for my Friend and it was important. Vincent used to know me from school days, so listening the word Important He didn't used to ask the Detail about my important stuffs. As I and Vincent were chit-chatting I saw that Gwen was coming towards us as I was standing near Her colony. I said Vincent,"That Girl in Fully White is my Friend." In my Mind I was like,'Oh God! God has sent His most Beautiful Angel' as Gwen was even Prettier in White Salvar Kameez. I told Vincent to stop for a while aside and said him that I'll be back in couple of minutes. He was standing aside with His Umbrella and as I said it was raining, Gwen was approaching holding her colourful umbrella.

   As I went towards Gwen, I was audible enough and Gwen wasn't stopping. And as She just kept walking I asked Gwen that,"Can I talk for a while?" She replied in a normal tone, "What?" I indeed replied, "I'm Sorry that if by anything I've hurted You. Can we be Friends?" As for that Gwen replied,"No." Then I thought to not lose hope and Tried for one last time and I pleaded,"But Why? I just want Friendship from You. Not more than that." For this Gwen replied an unexpected answer, "No.  That's Your Problem." Might be from that day or from that very moment I gotout of Depression. I didn't cried for that reason for hearing 'That's Your problem' but indeed I just thought to stop what I was doing and to Focus on Science lafe(Not again). So I came home and started focusing on my studies and that day I dissected two cockroaches just to remove a bit anger and educational purposes(Sounds funny but it was a part of my Syllabus in Biology). 

   Days passed and came the days of Correction of Journals. Seriously that was literally a Phase of headache in that college. We didn't had a procedure like to get corrected the whole Journal the very same day. But we had a headache of teachers like they'd check 2 Practicals at a time out of 20... Seriously Can You imagine, that means it would take 10 days to check Your Single Journal. Amazing right? Amazing because it literally had too much a waste of time. And in this Journal correction phase, one day we had PT Journal (Physical Training) correction. So during that time the PT Sir was correcting the Journals of those who were coming to Him with His/Her Journal. So as I and Alex grabbed our Journals and went for correction I saw that Gwen was standing in the queue. There was two queue for correction, where I was on one queue and Gwen was on other. It was Gwen's correction time. During Her correction I saw that the Sir was shouting Gwen as She didn't wrote Her name with a CD marker on the Label. I was about to go to Sir and talk about it but Alex holded my Hand and said, "Don't dare to do it, otherwise You'll get insulted in front of Her(Gwen)". So I rushed to my Class and searched for the marker, surprisingly I didn't got as it got stolen from my Bag from a unknown visible man. I some how managed for a CD marker and rushed to the class again even though I was breathing hardly I was running like I was Ussain Bolt. I passed on the marker without letting Gwen know that I've brought the marker, but Gwen managed with the normal Pen and I had a face like, What??? As it was my turn for correction I saw Gwen was talking to Steve, intact I didn't knew Him before but from that day we became Friends. I think that He knew about me before(most probably I don't know). As I did my correction and luckily Sir told me to make changes in my Journal in some places, and Steve saw me. I asked Him,"Do You know Her(Gwen), the Girl to whom You were talking?" He humbly replied, "Yes, we are school friends." I was very jealous but what could I do, so I asked Steve that what was the Matter? He said that His PT Jounal was Totally written by Gwen Herself. I asked Steve that could I borrow His Journal for few minutes after correction to complete my Journal. He replied, "Sure, but quickly as I have to give it to someone. " I took Steve's Jounal, rushed to my Class, took Alex's phone(As I didn't had better phone than His), opened the Camera, and in Pro mode took all the photos of Steve's Journal as seriously Gwen's Handwriting was damm beautiful. On the spot I took the backup of those photos in my Drive and returned Steve's Journal through the window as His Lectures were going on. 

   Oh Sorry Sorry, I think this was the boring part. Sorry for that. I hope from now it would be interesting. So came the day when we got out Hall-Tickets for our HSC(Higher Secondary Certificate) Exams we all were at the peak that we've completed HSC, because we had so much pressure those time like now we've got the Hall-Tickets so it's time to be more serious and get focused. The next day seating arrangement for Practicals was displayed on the notice Board of our College. We started preparing for our practicals. By luck, Alex and me had Practicals on same time but different Batch. As it was our 1st day of practical, I had Biology as my First Practical and Alex had Physics as His First Practical. Ok ok....coming to point. As the our 1st practical Finished, Alex rushed to me and said, "There a Good News and Bad News." I always tend to go for bad first. So I said Him,"Ok, go for the bad one" he replied that,"Gwen is not in Your Batch." I said,"I know Bro. Ok what about the Good One?" He replied,"That Gwen is in my Batch" and started running. I was a bit Tubelight for a few moment to understand the line and as I understood I rushed behind Alex to give him a smack for Taunting me. Infact Alex used to cheer me up by teasing me by Gwen's name, but all went in vain. And I got to know that during this practical time Alex used to copy Gwen's paper. Infact I didn't said anything for copying but I banged Him for chit-chatting with Gwen. All the days of those practicals, as soon as the practical time gets over and all were sent home, I used to stand near the gate and wait till Gwen comes out or I see Gwen going towards Home. Infact She never gave a glance but still I kept the Hope to see a spark of Love again. 

  Ok ok. Coming to point where I thought that if this time is gone, I'd never ever see Geen Stacy ever in my Life again. That time was long time After practical i.e. during HSC Boards Examination. As I and Alex had different Batches, so due to which our centres for exams too were different. And I knew that as Gwen is in Alex's batch so they both would be in same class too. The problem was huge here. As Alex's centre and my centre was not less than 30 minutes of walking, so I thought of getting a cab which spare me some time by shorting it up to 12 minutes. As I said that I and Gwen had different class due to subject I just had 1 damm extra chance. And what I did I'll say within few minutes. So basically I had Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Biology, English and Hindi language as subjects. Gwen had Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, English and IT(Information Technology) as their subjects. Am I again boring? Ok just one more time then over. So the days we had common exams i.e. English, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology, as my paper was submitted in hands of teacher and as the teachers says that very word,"You all can Leave" I take a long breath and start running as if it was the last Train that I've to catch. I literally just had a sling type bag just to keep my writing pad, geometry box, ruler and a small water bottle. And I didn't stopped for keeping this stuffs in bag, as I was running, on the way I kept those stuffs inside my Bag. As it would take hardly 30 to 35 seconds for me to reach the main road from my classroom where my centre for exam is to catch up a cab till Gwen's Centre. Alex used to update me about Gwen's status that is She still there or not. So this went on for all the 5 common papers but all this Hardwork went in vain as Gwen used to rush Her Home. And I even can't tell Alex to stop Gwen for me as Gwen wasn't knowing me well and was angry at a time. So coming to point, that golden opportunity when I could speak up with Gwen but I missed it. Yes, seriously I missed it. I wasn't willing to miss so but I literally had a reason. It was the Day when Gwen had Her IT paper. That day was my Holiday and that day my Grandparents had to go to their native place. So as my Grandparents called me to Help them up with managing up their luggages I had to miss. So with this I too wanted to convey You all that keep Loving You Grandparents and specially Your Parents, as they have done many many sacrifices which isn't visible in Your Eyes. So do love them, You'll get a partner soon as the world is Big and huge.

   Till now it was an Offline world now from this incident everything changed online. So came that Day, from when our lectures for Entrance Exams got started in Salvation Classes. And almost the whole Class (might be teachers too, might be huh) knew that 'I, Peter seriously had a Crush and one sided Love on Gwen Stacy who came for Few days.' I was a secret celeb in Salvation Classes, but I just did my work properly as I had to do, sit and warm the bench(Haha, Sorry) I mean study and listen to what teachers would say. One day Elsa came to me and said that,"Peter, Do You know that Gwen is on Instagram too?" I was surprised very very much and I asked her for Gwen's id. Elsa told that she'd share me Gwen's id on Insta. Infact Elsa didn't shared me that very same day, so mean na? She share me around after 3 days. I ignored the time that Elsa took and just Felt in Love again with Gwen after seeing Her Profile picture. Wait wait... I was just able to see profile picture as Gwen has and have a private account, so control Your emotions till conclusion. It was Gwen with Red Salvaar which made Gwen ×100 (into 100 times) more beautiful. And Gwen just had a perfect Makeup, not more or less. As seeing the profile Picture I smashed the Follow button. Now the scene was like... I had mobile with Instagram app but no internet or Wifi at Home. My parents did had internet in their mobile phones, but I didn't used to get hotspot from them as I used to spend all their data in my YouTube Surfing in 1080p. In Classes, as my few friends had Wifi in their Home they used to share data using hotspot without any Hesitation. 

   Okok, not again will I bore. So the day I sent Follow request I couldn't check that very same day. So I thought to give some time and should check another day. Came the next day, it was still in the button 'Requested'. So I waited another Day, and surprisingly what I see is I get my Follow request accepted with additional bonus as a Follow back. So on 26th March, 2019 I started my First Conversation with Gwen on Instagram. So basically it didn't started with a Hi-Hello. Basically Gwen had a Story written,'DM me Your Birthday Month' in Neon Font and I just Replied,"The month after Your Birthday Month." After a Couple of weeks I used to get French Quotes from one of my elder like sister. So I used to share it with Gwen and ask for the Translation. I think from that reason I and Gwen became Friends, infact Good Friends. We now share our thoughts and incidents. We do keep secrets. In Her message for "Hmm" I use to flirt up like "No, not now." And send Ha ha emojis to each other. The way of acrostic I know (Hmm- Hey Marry Me). The thing I noticed was we both had almost same Thinking and opinions which has connected us more. Now You'll be Thinking Why just Friends? Why not to take a step higher, right? I said once but for You all I'll say again,"I just want Friendship from You(Gwen). Not more than that." Did it clicked?

   So this was a great Journey of My Teenage Love Story. Hope so You'll love it. Do share if You liked it. With a great touch of sadness and boredom (ha ha just joking) it was a bit lengthy but, Sorry for that. The thing I've achieved in my Teenage Love story is that I've become more wise and strong. Due to which might be I've reached a certain height. The Peter who was a coward that time is now facing problem and becoming a stage performer whom audience sees rather than being a audience. Now I'm a Guitarist and a Anchorman too. Now I write Blogs too. Gwen thought me a Lesson that if You think You're not Perfect than do motivate Yourself to become Perfect. If I Judge this period than I'd come up with the result that I've achieved a good bend in my life to mold and improve me.
