Chapter. 17. Clearing up.

It seemed like she saw but she remained the same, smiling it off. But the next day, she came and said that she had begun dating Aki. The strange thing was that she had informed me not to tell anyone about them as she wanted to keep this thing private.

For days she would call me to meet up but would leave me alone with him and then one day as I went to meet her, it was him who took me into a classroom saying Lezly was waiting in there and misbehaved with me.

Pulling me near him, he caressed my hair and tried putting his hand into my clothes. Slapping him, I ran away, scared. The next day Lezly with tears said that I was into Aki and accused me.

Then in order not to break Lezly's heart, I didn't tell her about what he did to me, instead, I told her that I had a crush on some other boy and will be confessing to him.

Those days I had heard that a boy named Marq who was of the same grade in the class next to ours would accept anyone who confessed to him, so I aimed at him and confessed, for which he had accepted. But just later his fangirls came with a warning to stay away from Marq and that was the time when you helped me.

It didn't end. Someone had taken my diary and about this book, I only told Lezly. So when I went to see her, I found her showing those fan girls my diary. They tore it just in front of Lezly for which she didn't say a word against it instead they all laughed.

Since that day I distanced myself from her. Even if she came to me to talk I would ignore her. Then I saw you in the library. After you rejected to be my friend, it was that day I saw you again. I began following you. I admired how you lived alone without a care about others. Then you helped me in my studies. Lezly found me together with you and angrily she declared that I should not meet you for which I refused. Then she told me about the rumours that went around about you being a bad influence.

Though at first, I got scared. Then later I believed in what I saw instead of some heard rumours.

I wanted to be like you strong and carefree. I had thought that I was finally close to you but after my test, you again distanced yourself from me.

Then I heard Lezly meeting you.

She even false sentenced me saying that you all were being around me just because of my background.

The more I refused her the more she tried all means for me to get back to her. Now she's here accusing me again''. Belis had finished the milk given by Aai.

Aai after listening just asked, ''Tomorrow, let's meet the main culprit....!".

Belis after their talk was sent to the room to rest while Aai remained sitting, as she clenched her fist.

"Dare he do this towards an innocent girl!".

The next day, the boys had ended their sport. When Aki went to get his water bottle he found a note,

'Meet me at the terrace, at lunchtime'.

There was no one around his stuff, he crumbled the paper and threw it.

BREAK TIME,

The door of the terrace was open. As he walked out to the roof, he saw a girl, sitting on the bench with her legs folded, sipping up juice from a paper pack. He walked towards her and at a distance asked, ''Were you the one you called me?''.

She turned to see a young, tall yet sharp, fair yet faded dark pigmented body. He sure looked like a sports player.

glaring she said ''So how do you feel putting your hands on innocent girls".

Aki: "Huh! what do you mean!?"

Aai: "I'll get straight to the point, You must be knowing Lezly?".

Aki: "Lez...what's with her now!?''.

Aai: ''Then you sure also know Belis!?''.

Aki: ''.....''. he was in thought. Then Aai calls out a name.
