Chapter 38

• We had walked for quite a while, with neither of us saying anything. The atmosphere was becoming awkward. Probably not for him, but for me. I was the one who liked him.
• "Do you feel awkward?" He suddenly asked, and I had no reply to give him. I was actually suprised he was asking that. But then, I was really conscious about watching my words around him. I couldn't afford to give him the impression that I liked him. He was never going to have any kind of thing to do with me, and I had finally made my peace with the fact. I would only make myself look stupid by directly or indirectly letting him know that I liked him, when I clearly didn't stand a chance with him.
• "Not really." I lied. "The silence allows me process my thoughts." That one wasn't a lie though.
