Friend Zoned!

There was this beautiful girl in my class. I liked her so much and the feeling was mutual. We shared a lot in common and often spent time together. We were study partners too and anytime she comes to my place, she'd sometimes help me cook, iron or do the dishes. Staying hours without seeing or talking to each other stirred boredom.  I willingly shared my stuff with her and she cheerfully did the same.
