Next Day in school:-
at Tiffin time:
I complete my Tiffin. Then me & Niddhi go to the playground & sit on bench. We talk about yesterday. Few times later, Veer joins us.

Veer: What're you two doing here?

Me: Just chatting.

Veer: May I join?

Niddhi: sure– (her phone rings) hey, it's mom! I'll come back. (She leaves)

Veer: hey, how 'bout your paintings? I saw your creations on Insta. You're brilliant.

Me(chuckling): Thanks.

Veer:(smiles): You know, my mother survived from death yesterday!

Me(surprise): what!!

Veer: From an accident. Thanks to the girl who saved my maa.

Me: phew~~~ (it seems familiar)

Veer: but my mom said she got wounded on her elbow. (My eyes go widen)

Me: Did it all happen Infront of the chimar's medical shop??

Veer: Yes, how do you know??!! (I stand up) wait—, are you 'that girl'? (I awkwardly nodded & Veer takes my hands) THANK YOU!

Suddenly, a ball hits me. I fall on the ground & my elbow's band-aid slides out by the bench side. It starts bleeding. Veer helps me to stand up.

Veer: Are you okay?

Me: Ah— yea– (I groan) (Veer gets angry)

Veer: Aryan!! Why do you do that?

Aryan: what– you both are doing nonsense. You don't know 'Dating' isn't allowed in the school. Then–

Me: WE AREN'T DATING!

Aryan: I trust you. None dates you weirdo! (Goes to leave)

Veer (comes to me & take my right hand): Your elbow is bleeding. Issh— let me take you to the sick room & put first-aid on it.

Me: it's ok, I'm fine.

Aryan: I take you to the sick room.

Me: Hu(h)——

He snatches my hand and rushes to the sick room.

Me: Aryan, it hurts—

He doesn't say anything.

In the sick room:-

Aryan: Sit!

I sit on the small stool type couch. Aryan puts out the first-aid box. Veer comes.

Veer(breathing fast): Ankita? Are you okay?

Me: ohh— yea. Sit here.

Aryan sits Infront of me. He goes to apply the medicine, but Veer stops him forcibly. Aryan makes an angry face & stands up.
