We were quiet all through the class. Finally the class ended I got up from my desk. "Hey, can u please help me with my studies as I am new here? ", Darshan asked me. "Okay. Meet me in the library during the lunch time, if u don't have any problem.. ", I said. Library was the one and only place anyone could find me in a free class. And to my surprise he didn't notice my head. By now it must have dried, I guess. Soon it was lunch break. It had been 15 minutes while I had busied myself in a book before he came. "Hey! ", his voice came and my head jerked up. "Hi", I said. "Actually, I was having my lunch", he confessed. "It's okay ", I said. "Hey, did u have ur lunch? ", he asked me, concerned. Hey, did I say concerned. I mustn't think so.. "I don't think that's the topic for our meeting? ", I said. Okay ,that was rude, but it's okay, I guess. "Yes... But... OK.. Leave it. Can we start with maths, please? ", he said unsure but certain. I started explaining him maths just to find him staring at me. The moment I turned to him, he removed his gaze. "Hey, what happened to ur head? ", he asked in a worried and panicked voice. "Just nothing... A regular hurt u know", I said. "It's not regular... It's big... I think u should bandage it.. ", he said. "U know what, just leave it... Let's concentrate here coz I am used to it.. I don't think we must talk about it ", as I was saying the lunch break got over. I took my books and bags and rushed to my class. It was for the first time that anyone noticed me carefully. I wanted to push him away, but I couldn't. We had 3 subjects in common. I tried to avoid him most of the times. After the class, he came running behind me and asked, "R u free tonight? ". "I guess, yes", I said, thinking for a while. "So can we catch up? ", he asked furrowing his brows. My heart skipped a beat. I had never liked to go out with my family also and here he was asking me out. But I knew how to get rid of him. "May be in Angella's pub, at 12?", I said. "Pub?? ", he asked shocked. "Yeah why? ", I asked. "No actually I don't drink", he said innocently. And now I decided to speak up-to him. " Ohhh.. Then.... ", I was acting puzzled. "Coffee? ", he asked. "BTW I haven't tried any beverage other than beer till today..... But let me see", I said. "Oh... Then let me know if u want to come.... Ur no.? ", he asked politely. Next we exchanged numbers. I don't know what to do now. This trick worked for me to get rid of most of the children but he is different... He doesn't let go of me and that's what I want. Should I give him a chance?.......
