Shlok took a book from the library.
Aastha walked towards him.He left the library.
A:Oh...this Shlok...
Aastha started looking for a book.She couldn't find it there.
A:Guess Shlok has taken the book.
Aastha went to the classroom.He saw Shlok preparing notes.
A:Shlok,can you please share the book with me?
S:Why should I share my book with you?You are not my friend.
A:Then make me your friend.So that you can share your book with me.
S:Are you kidding?Just leave.Let me concentrate on my work.
A:But Shlok...
In anger Shlok punched the wall:Get lost Aastha.
His finger got injured leaving Aastha in shock seeing his violent nature.She took the first aid box and moved towards him.
Shlok was tough:No need.
A: I am not going to listen to you.I told you..I won't be like others who leaves you alone when you shout at me.So just stand still.
Shlok was stunned.
She bandaged his finger.

He was reminded of his mother Anjali bandaging his finger long ago.
A:Shlok,this much violence is not good.See how you hurt yourself.Now it will be very difficult to write for at least 2 days.How will submit the assignment?Have you thought of it?
Shlok was really upset about not being able to write the assignment.
A:Because of your anger you are going to lose your internal marks.
Shlok was really upset.Aastha noticed it.
A:Anyways I will take someone else's book to prepare my assignment.
Aastha left.Shlok couldn't open his mouth.
After 2 days...
Shlok was really upset and tensed about the teacher's reaction as he hadn't submitted the assignment.
Teacher Swapna:I am glad that all of you submitted the assignment on time.All are responsible students.
Shlok was shocked.
He thought:How is it possible?I hadn't submitted the assignment.
He bit his fingers in tension.
Shlok could remove his bandage after a day.
The next day Swapna announced:All the assignments were nice.But one assignment was too good.It is Mr.Shlok Agnihotri's assignment.
Shlok was shocked.He stood up.
Swapna:Congrats Shlok.
His lips shivered:Thank you Ma'am.
He thought:How is it possible?
By mistake he saw Aastha smiling at him.She blinked her eyes at him.
He thought:Did Aastha prepare assignment for me?
When the bell rang all students left except Shlok and Aastha.
They both kept looking at each other.
S:Aastha,did you...?
A:Did you...?I didn't get you?
S:You were the one who submitted assignment on my behalf?
A:Who told you?Why should I do so?I am not your friend.
Shlok got irritated:Enough Aastha.Tell me the truth.Are you not the one who did that?
A:Yes.
S:But why?
A:Because though you have not considered me your friend I consider you as my friend.
Shlok-Aastha shared an eye lock.

Shlok broke the eye lock.
S:But I didn't even share my book with you.Then why did you help me?
A:Same answer.Because you are my friend.
Shlok became emotional.
S:After getting insulted and hurt by me also you consider me as your friend?
A:Yes.
Shlok did not know what to say.He remained silent.Disappointed with his silence she tried to walk.
Shlok called from back:Aastha.
Aastha looked at him.
S:Sorry...and Thank you.Because of you I got good internal marks.
A:Ok.
Aastha walked out thinking:Still Akkudu can't accept my friendship.
The next day...
From the opposite side Shlok saw Aastha coming.She also saw him.She smiled at him.But he didn't smile at her.He was confused whether to smile or not.
She walked towards him.But she slipped and was about to fall down.Suddenly he held her.
She felt safe in his arms.
They share a beautiful eye lock.They stood looking into each others eyes.

A:Shlok,for tomorrow's prom night will you be my partner?
Without saying anything he walked away.eeing that with a smile Swati walked to her.
Swa:Aastha,how could you dream of making Shlok your Prom night partner?Do you think he will be ready to be your partner?
A:Why not?What do I lack?Shlok should also have a partner.Right?Let his partner be myself?
Swa:No.Shlok is not a guy who enjoys prom night and girls as partners.
A:Not girls as partners.He just needs a girl as his partner.Me.And I will be his partner tomorrow and he will dance with me.
Swa:Shlok to dance with you?Don't joke Aastha.You are mad.
A:Wait and watch Swati.
With a smile Aastha walked away.
Swati felt like laughing.
