Sirisha flopped onto her bed with the drama only a girl her age could manage.
Her cheeks were still a little warm
But warm enough to tell her something had changed.
She wasn’t sure when it had started.
Maybe when he handed her the glass of juice and their fingers brushed.
Maybe earlier,
When he smiled at her code,
Not like a teacher correcting a mistake,
But like someone proud of her effort.
Or maybe it was how he looked at her
Really looked.
Not scanning, not guessing. Just… seeing.
Ravi bhayya.
She mouthed the word slowly,
Thoughtfully.
It didn’t feel right anymore.
He didn’t feel like a bhayya.
And maybe that was wrong.
Maybe it wasn’t allowed.
But how could someone like him exist
And not make you feel something?
