Box.

"Mm! I shirked to tell you," the next morning, over breakfast, Felsen talked to his parents.

"What?" asked Mrs. Strew.

"Tomorrow is a ball in the school."

"Is that?" Mrs. Strew halted. "So are you going or not?"

"Yes, I will," Felsen, busy in eating, replied.

"You should go. These are the days which we miss in the future." said Mr. Strew.

"You sure you wanna go," Mrs. Strew confirmed because of what happened last year. And Felsen knew why she was asking.

"I was not sure but then... someone told me," Felsen talked confusedly.

"Who...!" Mr. Strew implored with a questioned face.

"So, Lenna is the person... who told you," Mr. Strew snickered as he came to know by Felsen's silent nature.

"Ha..! Lenna! No, no she didn't," Felsen seemed confused and a little unformatvale when he heard her name. There was nothing wrong with hearing her name, but he did not want to show his feeling and happiness that suddenly raised up in him.

"Ron...yes...Ron told me," Felsen in a confused manner, gossiped.

"We know, we know," his mom makes fun of him.

"Mom...! dad...!" Felsen endeavored so formidable to preserve his consistencies inside him  but at last he blushed.

"Felsen," Ron called him from his back and ran towards him when he came out of his house for college.

"Hey, Good morning Ron," Felsen veered around and said with a grin.

"Did you divulge your mom and dad that tomorrow is a ball," Ron put his arm around Felsen and asked.

"Yes, I did," with a smile Felsen replied to his friend.

"Great. I also told them. After college, I am going for shopping for tomorrow. Why don't you join me we will go together?"

Hearing his words, Felsen's smiling face became dull and he thought for a moment and was quiet.

"What happened? Are not you coming with me? Are you not going shopping for tomorrow," Ron asked.

Felsen pressed his lips and nodded in no.

"I don't have enough money in which we could buy clothes for both of us," Ron said in saddened.

Felsen got happy after knowing that how much Ron loves him.

"It's ok Ronei. I really don't need it because I don't care. If I will wear old clothes no one will gonna kick me out," Felsen chuckled and ran on the way to college.

"Good morning Loser," Luc barricaded Felsen's path when he was nearly to step into the classroom.

"Luc! let us get in," said Ron with a bit of anger.

"Of course, why not Ron. Come! this way!"

Ron entered and after him when Felsen grabbed his foot in the air to get into the classroom, Luc again stopped him and said,

"Not you, Loser!" Luc smirked.

"What do you need?" Felsen interrogated with a straight face.

"Ahh! here you go. You really understand me, aren't you?" Luc went close to him and gazed into his eyes. "Well, well, well I just want to ensure that if you are coming tomorrow or not. I think you should come because if you will not come then who will clean our waste," when Luc finished his words, his friends laughed at it.

They always laughed after Luc as if he pays them for it.

During this, a group of students ran toward the class because the professor has arrived.

"Come on, move in," A student talked in a hurry and they all immediately moved to the inside.

"Professor are you coming tomorrow," a female student of the fourth bench, from a second row, asked in a lovely voice. Seems like she had a crush on her professor because of the way she was looking at him, and of course, he was the most handsome and mannered teacher in the college. Not only that girl but so many other girls had a crush on him.

"Good morning sir," A male student stood up and talked. "I have fetched the book, that you told me to take from the library," the student moved to the professor with the book in his hand.

"Great, thank you," the professor while checking out through the book, uttered.

"Sir, you didn't tell me," the girl again asked delightfully.

"Didn't tell about what?" moving to his table, the professor mumbled.

"That you are coming or not," with a loving smile she questioned.

Seeing her talking this way the professor felt some nervous and replied nervously, " Yes I am coming."

"Great, then tell me which color will you wear. I want to match with yours," the girl asked enthusiastically.

Hearing this, one of the student's whistles. Realizing their mischievousness, professor clean his throat and did not say a word and began giving a lecture.

During the recess of lunchtime, everyone went to the canteen. There was a clamor in the canteen as everyone was thrilled about the ball function and was gossiping about it. They seemed so enthusiastic until Lenna penetrated and stood beside Felsen.

"May I... have a seat here?" Lenna begged in a meager voice with much manners.

Felsen was so agitated because she never attained to him and asked for a seat. Plus, he was apprehensive because, Luc, his brother was perched at the following table of him.

"Yes, sure," Felsen spoke hesitated.

Everyone was so stunned because one brother, and sister, with different opinions, and it's all about Felsen. Because they all know that Luc doesn't like Felsen, it was obvious to them that now Luc will again quarrel with him.

"So, you are coming tomorrow, right?" all eyes were on Lenna and Felsen.

"Yes, I am," Felsen nervously spoke, but also fascinated that his crush walked to him.

Lenna smiled and spoke more,

"I will not take your much time. The thing is that, I have something for you."

After completing her words she dragged a small box towards him.

"Bro, what is she doing? Luc is watching this way and he seems angry," Ron uttered in Felsen's ear as he was about to cry.

"This!" Felsen glanced once at Luc and said.

"Open it," Lenna muttered.

Not only Felsen but Ron, Luc, Luc's friend, and everyone was surprised that Lenna gives him a box and was inquisitive to know about what is inside. And when he opened the box, he took out a bow tie from it.

"This is... for me!" Felsen was so timid because, firstly, she was senior to him, and secondly, she was his crush who first time came to him with a gift and thirdly, her smile and the shine in her eyes were getting him crazy.

"It will suit you. I hope you wear it tomorrow," Lenna spoke. "I should leave now. Bye...! See you tomorrow," Lenna stood up and left.

After she left, everyone was waiting for Luc's reaction. They assumed he will now quarrel with him and will call him by bad words.

Felsen also had the same feeling because Luc seems so angry. And he stood up. Everyone guessed that the moment had arrived but rather of walking toward Felsen and battling with him, he went out because this time his sister was wrong.

"When she knows that I don't like that scumbag then why did she do this," taking steps towards her, he talked to himself.

"Stay away from that beggar I am telling you. It will be good for you. Instead of regretting tomorrow, don't start it today," Luc grabs Lenna's arm, and with a lot of outrage in his eyes for Felsen, and worry for Lenna, he chatted.

On their way home after school, they both were shocked by what Lenna did, and what Luc didn't do.

"Really Felsen, I was so spooked of the way Luc was glancing. Oh God, they both brother and sister are not much than a horror flick."

"Yes, but Lenna first time came to me with a gift. Ahh! this is getting outlandish. I love this so much," Felsen was feeling like he is on the seventh cloud. The day was the best day for him in his whole life. "I will certainly wear this," Felsen again opened the box while walking and peeked at it. Ron was happy in his happiness.

"Ok, Felsen I have to go to the market now. Bye." Ron patted his shoulder.

"Bye take care," Felsen with a smile replied.

"Tatatata...Lalla llala...!" Felsen singing this entered the house and went directly into his room.

"This is so beautiful," Felsen positioned his bag on the chair and settled on the bed.

He, after, did his assignments, and in the night when he was gawking for the clothes to wear for tomorrow, someone opens the door.

"Huh," Felsen flinched of the sudden opening of the door.

"What happened? Have you got frightened? I am sorry my son I didn't mean that" Mrs. Strew spoke worriedly.

"No! No Mom. You say, do you need anything?" Felsen talked nervously while trying to hide the box.

"What happened dear why are you so nervous?" Mrs. Strew gets in the room and asked with a frown.

"Nothing mom, do you need anything because the box was far from him and was naked that one can see easily, Felsen gets more nervous and sauntered to his mother.

"Felsen, are you sure that you are fine because... you are behaving so eerie?"

"No, I am totally fine. See, I am fine," Felsen turned her mom's back to the box and said.

"Are you fine? what are you doing here... this late... in the night," Felsen questioned with a lot of hand movements.

"Your dad is calling you? I came here to take you with me. Come down he is waiting," Mrs. Strew holds his hand, was all ready to take him wuth her.

"Ok, let's go," Felsen brought his mom out of the room as soon as feasible.
