But let me warn seasoned romantic readers i am still an amateur and am bound to be frail with words .. please do overlook.
It started one , summer evening , the birds had just left for rest and one didn't seem to hear those sweet sounds of birds . The air smelled fresh after the light drizzle that had honored the earth by its graceful presence only minutes ago.
Reg was still pondering , alone in his room going over his routine thoughts , except that it had to be one of the new thoughts that grabbed his focus . Reg was waiting for his first day in Junior high to start ... like every other young man who waits patiently for a new bike or his first date will no less.
Reg woke up early the next morning set into his monotonous routine of brushing and bathing.
Reg had a peculiar way of bathing...... he'd start to draw his bath ... he'd walked down get the news paper......and walkback up in whcih time the bath would already be drawn........
He'd strip bathe a bucket full first followed by brushing his teeth and another bucket ..........
But , Reg broke his ordered monotonous life , because he couldn't wait to meet Selena...... the girl of his dreams .
Reg had seen Selena when he had first entered junior high the previous year and his heart instantly jumped a beat. He knew someone like Selena had to have been made by God when he was extremely happy .... or when he had a lot of time at his disposal..... Will God has all eternity .. it had to be the first one.
Reg thought about Selena all the time ....... He felt that her smile radiated pure ecstacy and he knew that he wouldn't love anyone else ever...
(I personally think this reg dude needs a life)
Reg saw more of selena everyday , in his dreams , in the coffee shop , in his bathroom(Scary) , and in his lunch (Thts just plain weird).
Reg was no longer himself when he looked in the mirror it was not red that he saw but it was a man deeply in love with heartfelt feelings towards his only love. All his meditation had gone astray , he no longer had control over his emotions . He really neede to know what was in Selena's mind.
He finally mustered all his emotions strengths and feelings into one question (Good luck old chap) .
It was gym class and he knew that he had to choose a partner for his next routine , amd he knew who that would be.
In gym .........
He walked straight to the girl in long grey uniform tracks ( Lahame) , with long blonde hair , and a affable smile onto her, without even staling a glance towards the cute girl with black hair , unaware that she was waiting for Reg to approach her . She was just a taddy bit lean but her height would compensate that.
"Hey Samantha i want you to be my partner...."
Samantha was one of Selena's best friends and Selena trusted no one more than her , and she'd have it no other way. (By now u know what reg is getting at??? Rite .... well pucker up cause u really don't)
At the end of gym class , As Mr. Neil left the gym , Reg fell to his knees in front of the whole class and asked her out ........
Samantha was soo bedazzled , cause everyone in class knew about Reg's Alleged crush and Selena knew too ... Hence it came as a little surprise to everyone , Especially Selena who was heartbroken , because she had hoped that Reg would ask her out ..... Because she too harbored a crush on Reg.............
Samantha knew Psychology too well , to know why he had asked her out instead of Selena , she decided to play along.
In the following weeks , Reg spent most of his time with Samantha , flirting with her right in front of Selena , and more..........
Selena began to grow insecure .... She had to get Reg to notice her , she topped class once to impress Reg , but it seemed like he was least bothered.
Finally Selena couldn't take the pressurizer , she had to know what Reg was thinking , her mind was being ripped apart from the pain of her own internal conflict. She decided that it was upon her to take her first strides towards the new relation. She planned the proposal for weeks , finally she came up with a rather flashing idea came upon her , like being bestowed with that higher erudition one always longs for , That "Eureka" moment.
She had everything set right to give Reg the biggest Surprise of his life , and she was sure it would move him.
But on the other side of the story , Reg was growing increasingly intimate with Samanth . There began to rise a unique sense of longing or oneness with Samantha , he couldn't quite explain it , but it just happened.
Over the weeks Selena began to set her plans Straight , Reg was rather in the dark about his feelings for Samantha and Samantha was blissfully unaware of all that was happening........
After days of planning which seemed to stretch to weeks and then a month Selena had formulated the most faultless plan that she could come up with , and she knew that the time to carry out the plan would be at hand soon.
Prom was coming up and the college was in a big hustle , everyone moving everywhere asking anyone they came across lest they be left behind in seclusion on the day of the Prom.
As expected , Selena walked up to Reg , and everyone's breth stood still for a moment ..... it looked like the tables had turned , or had it really?....... thought Reg .... all these days i tried to talk to her but now she's come to me........ But Reg's expectations were short lived , and so were the breathlessness of people which soon turned into muffled sobs of a sort because Selena did something very strange , indeed ......
"Hey ! Mike will u go to the prom with me ?".........
Now Mike here , was one amongst Reg's oldest and best frnds .... and it came as a little surprise to him that what had happened had actually chanced . Mike had been asked to the Prom by so many girls that he had almost lost count ........ almost , but 28 was not a hard number to remember. He had the same reply for all of them ........
"I'll have to think about it babe !! "
But he couldn't say that to Selena , there was something in her eyes...... He just cudn't refuse.
"Sure babe........"
Selena turned away setting her hair into a flow and left in one fluid motion leaving Reg wondering what had happened ..........
"Did this really happen ? " He asked an equally baffled Samantha , who was lost for words because she thought ....... well hell with what she thought the recent happenings were even beyond her understanding.
The rest of the days upto the prom night had nothing interesting , atleast to Reg , cause he sat in front of his PC and poured out his heart all day long ....... He was now more confused than he had ever been .......
Prom night was not much different ..... his mind was still in a haze unaware of the obvious fact.
When he walked into the gym with Samantha his eyes scouted for Selena and ....... Mike ??..
He found Selena at the far end of the room near the punch .... but Mike was walking away from her , as in rage or disappointment .
Reg stepped toward her in one swift motion , and asked Mike what had happened ......
"The babe has been using me dude ....... She just wanted me to drop her to the prom and when i asked her for some action she denied me flat"......
This was not the Mike he knew .. atleast he hoped . "asked her for action" , does anyone do that on the first date ... it seemed strange , and even stranger coming from a friend.
He walked upto Selena , and laid his hand on her shoulder to console her , he could see her beautiful eyes through that wet curtain of tears that had hidden her eyes .... and he instantly remembered why he had fallen in love with her.
Those eyes , it had captivated his entire presence the very first time he laid his eyes upon her.
Now , after almost a Semester of 'playboy politics' he knew what to do.
"Hey , Don't worry Selena ........ Do you want me take you home ?"
"You are a good friend Reginauld , I never should have asked mike out .. " Saying so she embraced Reg , and he was in complete surrender , not wishing to fight her.
As they left the room ..... sparks were flying between them ... and all of Senior high knew that the most awaited couple had got together at last , - all because of one mistake by Mike - thought Reg .....
But when Samantha saw Selena turn round and wink at Mike , she understood everything ... the plan on which Selena had been working those hushed talks in the common room with Mike(supposedly) , and Mike's strange behaviour .
"Not really a surprise that Reg fell for someone with beauty and brains , despite the fact that he doesn't realize the mastermind behind their getting together... lols"
Well , what happened to Reg and Selena you ask .... well no one really knows that do they? .....
This is just one amongst many teenage union of hearts lost in the pages of politically thinking of Today ......
There maybe a Reg or a Selena going through this same fate at this very moment ....... but what makes this story special u ask .
Well the very fact that such young hearts exist must make it special do u not agree?
