Chapter. 11. A help in the library.

The following days it was quite rainy. Aai couldn't go to her usually spot nor to the terrace at school so she just spent her time in the library.

She, those days even sensed something unusual. She would find some warm pads, and juice bottles under her desk.

Aai never liked to be in favour nor be indebted to others, so she would just keep it in the infirmary.

One day she was in the library,

"May I sit here?". Aai didn't even bother to look up, "I don't own this place for you to ask my permission".

That person just sat in front of Aai.

When Aai straighten her body, it was a girl sitting in the front who suddenly looked down.

Again when Aai felt someone staring at her, she looked at that girl, who again swiftly looked at her books.

Aai since she had finished, got up and left away. The girl looked at Aai.

That girl came to the library and would sit nowhere else, but only in front of Aai.

One afternoon, the girl seemed to be stuck in a question. When Aai got up to leave, "Senior!", she called out to her. Aai looked at her.

She started hesitating, Aai turned to leave.

: "Wait! um...".

Aai: "Gotta say something?".

: "COULD YOU HELP ME HERE PLEASE!". she shouted while showing Aai a book.

Seeing everyone was looking at her she stumbled on embarrassment, "Um I..I'm sorry".

Aai: "but I gotta go....".

: "Oh!...sorry.. " she looked disappointed, but smiled at Aai as she said. Aai felt irritated,

Aai: "Why don't you go ask the teachers?".

: "No, I'm....actually I'm a transferred student, and I'm not good with others and...it's alright, sorry for calling out ...like... that".

Aai looked at the girl's worried face, being uninterested she turned away.

The girl looked up to see Aai sitting on the chair,

Aai: "Speak up".

The girl was happy and began asking her doubts as Aai helped her. It wasn't that Aai hated to teach her, it was just that she didn't want to have any attachments or any dealings with others. Originally she just wanted to refuse the girl and walk away but seeing her helpless, Aai's mood got irritated. Thinking that it was just once, she decided to help.

The next day that girl showed up again. At first, would hesitate but later began talking normally. Aai wasn't good at teaching others, but seeing the girl's sincerity, she couldn't leave her be and would try her best helping her.

It continued for 5 days.

The next day Aai didn't see that girl coming.

She tried not to bother herself with it but would sometimes look at the library door.

Thus two weeks passed, Aai didn't think of that girl. She would just study off in her class or would return home just after school end.

The rain also didn't seem to stop during those days.

Once when Aai was walking home, she heard a familiar voice calling her out.

When she turned around, a girl jumped on her and hugged her tightly, throwing Aai down.
