HEALING HER

Chapter 3

(From here the story will be Author's POV most of the time. I'll add the characters POV whenever needed.)

It's almost a week Mehras have shifted to Delhi. Dev's college have been started two days after they arrived. Vasant Valley High School will be reopening tomorrow for new session. Students were already ready with their hatiars to go to school.
Arnav while seeing around the society encountered two new people who coincidentally were from his class. Ansuman Rathore, shortly known as Ansh, that introvert shy-cute boy who was already adopted by Eshan Verma the outgoing extroverted one. Arnav's vibe totally matched with the duo on their first meeting. Even if they have been befriended for 3 or 4 days, they have converted themselves from duo to trio. (You know teen tigada kam bigada)

The next morning

In beautiful monday morning the rooms were shining with beautiful golden rays of light streaming in through the glass windows. It was a new journey for Arnav and just another school year for Samara. Both got up from bed, one with excitement while the other one lazily. They got ready for school, had their breakfast and set off to school. Samara along with Rohit came out of their house meanwhile Arnav came out. Arnav greeted both of them with a 'Good morning'. Rohit returned it back with same while Samara just passed on a smile. Outside of their building Arnav met Ansh and Eshan. Then they all headed outside the society to catch school bus.

Everywhere students were chattering. Some discussing their holidays, new enthusiasm for new class, new students looking around and giving awkward first introductions and blah blah blah. It was as if the school was busting in with new flowers in spring season. The morning prayer was done and that's boring so lets shift the scene to the science 11th B classroom.

Miss Meera the senior Maths teacher entered the classroom. Everyone stood up to wish her.

" Good Morning Students. Welcome to the new session, you are now in the senior category so I wish to see you all behave like that. This year I am going to be your Class teacher, I hope you can bear with me. And also we have many new students who have joined us this year. Can we get your introductions please."

The section had total of 40 students out of which 10 were new. Almost everyone had given their introduction when teacher looked at Arnav.

" Why are you three seating in a seat meant for two? You new boy go and sit in the seat in front of you that is empty. "

" Mam we can manage." Eshan protested.

" No, you come and sit or I will change all of your seats to a different place."

" Chala ja.... Wese bhi tere piche hi toh hai ham log."

Arnav moves to the front looks at side towards his benchmate to come face to face with Samaraaaaaaa.
(Ok that was a bit extra.)

"Ok now new boy introduce yourself. "
" Hello everyone. I am Arnav Sharma , from Theog a small town near Shimla. I have completed my studies till 10th there. Hope to get along well."
" Ok Arnav sit down. Now class as it's your first class, let's get introduced to your syllabus and what you all have to study."

Miss Meera started her class.

"Hii... " He looked at Samara and said this with a grin and extending his hand.

Samara just glanced at him and said
" Hi "

Arnav awkwardly bought his hand down and again asked
A- "What was your name again? "
S- "Samara Mehra."
A- "Oh I'm Arnav Sharma."
S- " I know, you just told and also aunty told during dinner."
A- " I was just again introducing myself as your deskmate cum classmate."
S- " Hm."
A- " What a coincidence right, neighbors in house as well as in school."
S- " You know what, you talk too much. Just concentrate on class."
A- " Are you even a girl, I heard girls talk a lot. But look at you answering in just one words."
S- "Shhh...Just concentrate on class."

Aryan just sighed and looked in front and like this the first half of school have been completed.

Lunch break came and everyone went out of class. Some towards canteen, some towards ground to play, some towards the garden area to have their lunch, etc.

Only Samara was seating in the class reading the book she recently borrowed from the library. She was also having her lunch in class.

Just then Arnav was entering the class to fetch his water bottle when he saw her.

Arnav's POV

Why is she sitting here alone? Doesn't she have something to do during lunch break? Doesn't she have any friends or what?

" If you are wandering why she is sitting alone... Then let me tell you, she doesn't have friends. As per what's the reason that's not my part to tell. She sits in front of us we think she's good and it was not her fault. Something had happened that she lost faith in friendship." Eshan said when he noticed Arnav looking at her with confused expressions. Arnav was wondering...

'What must have happened?'
