Pappu and his girls

Pappu and I go a long way back... 3rd standard to be precise..and he gives u this impression of being a real dork. Well atleast he looks like one...but i must say that looks do decieve. Anyway this post is not about him as a person but his various encounters with the fairer sex.
Vivek(a.k.a pappu) is not what i would call a ladies man...he ain't sauve..he ain't sophisticated (far from it)...he ain't very clever around them either...but fortunately for him the girls he has been around are dumber than him.He had a crush on a girl for a year...but felt that beauty(as he considered her to be)..should be admired form a far..and reacted the only way he could..not even look at her(sheepish dumbass). He was desperate to have a girlfriend in our final year in school and tried many a times to score..but i guess the girls over there weren't that dumb. There was this really pretty girl in our tuition who had no problem talking to me...but always looked away from me when pappu was around.Don't believe me....check this out

We both were standing outside the tuition waiting for my dad to pick us up when..
Pappu: Hey avi...look she has come out...i wanna talk to her
Me: go ahead...talk man talk..she is all urs(performing somersaults in the inside)
pappu: But what would i say..u know..ice-breaker..tell me
me: well u could go inside get ur book back(we never took our tuition books home...poor kannan sir..dunno why he put up with us)..and on the way u could ask her who she is waiting for...where she lives and all that crap
pappu: great idea avi...really great..ok i am going
me: aha
pappu: ok..i'm going
me: ok go..
pappu: yea yea...i'm going
me: sonofa***** are u going or not?
and i nudged him forward...He moves to her..very slowly...but moves all the same..as he approaches her..she looks at him....and takes a step in his direction..pappu is stuck..normally he has to go 99 for the girls to 1..but not now..it was his time..all those years of sharpening the women-endearing charm seems to be finally paying off..and she moves closer...and now they were at arms length of each other...and finally when he opens his mouth to make the conversation...the girl side tracks like as though to avoid the on-coming traffic...and goes straight to her mom who was walking behind pappu..the mom and her exchange greetings..walk past me..she was gracious enough to give me a smile....and walked away...leaving pappu banging his head on the wall...and me..well...laughing even to this day...

P.S: Things have changed from that day...he is now in Mumbai...and has a girlfriend or two..guess girls are dumber there....
