Then, slowly, it�became a routine and I learned to ignore it. Though I gazed at him greedily, from the�corner of my eyes, I pretended as if I didn�t notice him at all. I felt his eyes on me all�day. I snubbed him.\n\nIn school, I steadily ignored him. At home, I stealthily longed for him.\n\nAbout the author:\n\nArchana�Sarat�is a freelance writer and author since the last ten�years.
