Annandi is disturbed. This was sure. Now the challenge that awaited me was to find out the issue. I used my most reliable sources. Her close friends amongst which most of them didn't talk to me, were the only option left for me to know the issue and finding a solution. I had to find a person, who talks to both of us. I decided to tell a "'girl' 'of her class'" to find the problem. She could be trusted as she was friendly and open to both- Annandi and Me. She can be called the 'mediator' or 'common-friend'.

Anjali, a class 9th student was the apt for this job. She is sweet, innocent, but matured. By face she looks like a class 7th student. She has chubby cheeks, short- heighted and cuteness overloaded. She is the ace of spades, as she has a key role.

I asked Anjali to find out Annandi's issue, likes, dislikes, interests everything. I wanted to know every-bit of Annandi. The key to a successful elation could only be through knowing each other in and out. Both should take care of each other's sentiments and try to keep each other happy.

I had ordered a crescent-moon shaped necklace with a blue ball which glows in the dark, for her. But the order was delayed. I was just waiting for the day when necklace would arrive. In school, we had the Annual-function practice. Annandi was taking part in Dance.

I with the excuse of anchoring or sometimes talking to Anushka was seeing Annandi. The following day while practice, there were twelve instances when Annandi and I were seeing each other eye-to-eye. How my heart-beats paced, was unimaginable. My eyes were filled with images and clippings of those beautiful 12 moments. The longest one being for 7-10 seconds! Annandi looked up at the corner of the auditorium and I turned around. I was awe-struck. I felt I was captured in Annandi's eyes. I wanted to say a lot of things, but the audience was the only barrier.

I wished to say 'I love you' again, but I controlled. Annandi day-by-day was looking more beautiful than ever. I was caught by a class 11th student of Humanities staring at her. He is a very friendly-senior. He whispered to me, "You can stop starring her now." I was stunned. He laughed. I asked him not to tell this to anyone. He agreed to help me too. He had the ability to judge other people in a bolt...

Soon, Rohit, Siddharth, Anushka and I were the new trending group of the school.

Anushka meant the world to Sid (Siddharth). He helped her in every problem. She felt free to express and be herself in front of him. There was a different kind of elation between them, whenever they met.
