What was your love story, that started in school?
I am a 22 year old guy from tamilnadu,India.
 Ft. VijayAnthony, Chennai.
I have had many crushes in my life.But nothing is special like the one I am gonna share now.The love you feel in teenage especially at around 16–19 years nothing is the most stupidest yet beautiful.Here it goes:
I was studying 11th in a co-ed school where it was not allowed to talk to schools.I, being a studious guy,never talked to girls and was always studying .This went on till 10th standard.Enter 11th standard.Harmones started flying and I got lazy.Since it was 11th ,there were no public exams for us. So we boys started sighting girls for fun.11th standard passed very quickly and summer holidays came.We boys all decided to join summer maths tuition since we knew our maths teacher was useless.(She is a good woman but a bad teacher)
At tuition:
Day one
All of my gang (8 boys) joined tuition 2 days and I was the only who joined late.I hurried and joined the class. Since it was first day,he gave intro and all.(I attended same tuition during my 10th .So sir knew me well.) We listened to the class and it left for home
Day two:
Only 8 of us were his maths students so we thought we were the DONS of the tuition.
I heard an XL (Two wheeler) sound..After a few seconds,a girl in her blue top and green duppata came in.Her father talked to sir for a while.I was wishing “She should join our tuition”.Apparently she did.
Once the class started,she sat before me.There were now 8 boys and 1 girl.Other boys didn’t seem interested in her.I felt lucky :).I have not spoken to girl in two years so I didn’t know how to start.
Suddenly sir said “Hey K, this boy is X.He is the topper of his school.He got XYZ marks in 10th.I taught him maths” pointing his hand toward me.
She turned and said “Hi! “.I felt butterflies.I blushed and said “Hi “.
(“Thank you so much sir “ I wanted to say.) After few mins I gathered courage and asker her 10th mark (Me being a studious guy and all ).It was a bit lesser than mine.That was all the conversation we had.

Day 3
I sat in her row and started talking to her confidently but mostly about studies.Sir’s wife was looking at us suspiciously .So we started talking by writing on her notebook (Childish.. still worked).She wrote mostly single word replies whereas I was writing replies like essays.
I went home and studied a bit.Then I came up with this genius (!!??) idea.I took a long-size paper and writing a letter (Nothing romantic !).I wrote everything I felt like sharing.Next day,I gave it to her,she smiled and hid it in her notebook.. Next day I got a reply which was about 4 pages long.
It was 2015 but we were using letters.! Trust me guys..It felt better than texting.
Everyday I eagerly went to tuition to see her.I read each of her letters so many times and kept them like a treasure..
I would go to tuition an hour earlier and would eagerly wait for the XL sound.She would come ,we would exchange glances then letters and talk a little.We found some common interests like reading,etc..
One day I asked her
“Have you ever been love ?”
“Why are you asking?”
“Because good girls mostly won’t fall in love..” (I regretted saying it immediately.I was naive back then. I still am)
“Are all girls who have ever been love bad? “
“No.. Just saying”
“Yes I was in love.”
“With how many people? “ ( I asked the dumbest question possible.Idiot of the year would have been me)
Her faced turned red.
“Do I like look a girl who loves many guys for fun?”
F**k me.I started shivering and sweating.
I felt bad.What if she makes a scene? Why the fuck I made her feel bad? Why the fuck I insulted her character.She didn’t talk to me the whole day.
Next day,I apologised and she accepted.Everything was back to normal.Then we grew closer and closer.Somedays her dad wouldn’t come to pick her up.Those days were the best time of my life.We would walk together from tuition to main road..
I became her best friend.She let mer call her “Di” (Informal way of calling a girl.).She only allowed few people to do that.
I was one of her best friends. She was more than that to me.
She was naughty ,fun and talkative.I was a nerd and silent.
She shared her cute secrets with me ..Like how she broke neighbour’s window playing cricket,how her cousin taught her to smoke beedi (!),how she liked wearing lungi while in home.. ( I am a boy but never done any of this… :) )
I shared my dumb secrets with her.(Nothing interesting though!).
We shared out diaries..
We shared our dreams.She wanted to study MBBS or civil.. I wanted to build a software company.(Though I studied bio).Summer passed.Schools started.I started focussing on studies but was still attending tuition. My birthday came.She gifted me a pen. First gift I ever received. It felt awesome…
Her birthday came.I didn’t buy anything.( I sucked.) .She didn’t mind.Few days later I proposed her via another letter.Actually it was a marriage proposal.Like we’ll get married after finishing college,etc.She got furious and stopped talking to me.
I couldn’t face her thereafter.There was so much drama.I stopped attending tuition.I sent her few letters via friends.But no reply..I started focusing on studies
After an year (2016)
I saw her again.She was with her friend.We talked a bit.She was not angry.Normal.She had joined civil in a useless local college.I joined diploma so that I can join good college via lateral entry.(Our marks weren’t good as expected..)
2019 June:
I was added to school group. I got her number from a friend and texted in WhatsApp.
I came to know that her dad had passed away.(She was very close to her father).Her sister had gotten married.She had changed so much.She was not naughty anymore.I felt sad.
Then a lot of things happened.Proposed again.Rejected.I fucked up so many times.I didn’t know how to talk her.All conversations ended in a fight. It was all my fault. She kept forgiving me.Still I sucked.But I loved her so much. Still do.
I tried to convince her by telling everything I feel.But I sucked at expressing how I feel.Also I talked like an idiot.
Present (May 2020):
Now I am studying in 3rd year B.Tech in one of the reputed colleges in my state.She is gonna finish her degree once corona holidays are over.She said her family wants her to marry her brother-in-law’s brother.She said she liked him too.She said he was a nice guy and all.I felt jealous but moved on.
She’ll get married in an year or two,have kids,..
I am building a startup now,I will succeed or get a job ,eventually get married and move on..
Teenage love was beautiful,innocent and felt great.
Though life changed so much and I messed up everything,it still is a beautiful memory..
Someday I’ll write a book about it.
I’ll grow old ,look back ,smile and cry happily.
It was the happiest time of my life..
Wow that was sweet❤️❤️❤️
