The room was quiet
He was sitting at his desk.
The classroom was empty. No noise. No fans. No students. Just the faint echo of his own breathing.
His phone was in his hand.
He kept staring at the screen.
Scrolling.
Stopping.
Zooming in.
Scrolling again.
Her pictures.
The silence in the classroom felt heavier than it should.
Then A voice broke through his thoughts.
"Hey, sid."
Sid didn't look up immediately.
Rohan walked in, bag hanging from one shoulder, eyes already knowing.
"How many times are you going to check her pics?"
Sid locked the screen and slipped the phone into his pocket.
"She's not part of your life anymore," Rohan continued, softer this time. "Accept that, man."
Sid closed his eyes.
"I know," he said. "And I'm trying."
Rohan pulled a chair and sat beside him.
"For how long? It's been two months after the breakup and you still-"
"Stop," Sid cut him off.
Silence again.
Sid opened his eyes slowly.
He was sweating.His fingers were trembling slightly.
"I'm like this," he whispered. "And I can't get over it."
Rohan looked at him, disappointment clear on his face.
"I can't believe you," he said. "As if she's the only girl in this world."
Sid stayed silent.
"Be a man and move on."
Still silent.
"I don't think you're this weak."
The words started hitting harder now.
"Stalking her even after she dumped you?"
Rohan's voice turned colder.
"She never loved you."
Sid's fingers tightened against the desk.
"You're pathetic."
The classroom felt smaller.
The air thicker.
Sid's thoughts started drowning him.
Why am I like this?
Why can't I move on?
Am I really that weak?
I'm such a loser...
She never loved me...
No. I can't stalk her.
No. I should move on.
The words kept repeating. Louder. Faster.
Then-
Sid's eyes snapped open.
He jerked upright from the chair in the dark room.
"I should move on!"
He had said it out loud.
The room was silent again.
Only the fan spinning weakly above him.
Only Messi watching from the wall.
