Ignoring his piercing gaze on me, I kept doing my part of the experiment so that I can get free from his penetrating gaze.

Letting out a sigh, I began mixing different acids, while he was supposed to balance the equations, note down the amount of acid I am adding but he is still watching me.

Geez

I am going to drop one of these acids if he kept looking at me, he is making me nervous.

God

Glancing at the watch, a frustrated sigh escapes my life only fifteen minutes are left and we have no I have just done experimenting with two acids while others have already completed.

Leaving him with his staring game, I began balancing the equation, and nothing was helping even these gloves.

Sighing I threw my gloves away and started balancing the equation I was so worried that I didn't even heed when a strand of my hair has come out of my bun until I felt a warm touch on my cheeks tucking the strand of my hair behind my earlobe.

I felt a ting of respect in his touch it wasn't like them.  But it all started like this.

Without thinking, I jerk away from his touch, spilling the sulphuric acid on my bare hand. I yelp, Panicking I started rubbing it more.

' You fool what the hell do you think you are doing?' he sizzles. Taking my hand in his while I just kept my pace with him not knowing what to do I seriously feel like I have just lost all my senses.

' It's freaking sulphuric Acid! ' he rasped in a hard tone to which I just flinched.

I could feel my eyes flooding with tears. The way he spoke reminds me of them. Panic engulfed me while the tears started brimming down my eyes. I promise myself I won't cry in front of anyone but here I am being vulnerable in front of the boy for whom the girls will dress up to look pretty and here I am.

At the loss of my action, he grabs my hand and took me to the nearest sink to wash my hand with lukewarm water and soap thoroughly while I just kept my gaze at him not knowing what has happened.

I just kept staring at him, don't get me wrong but after a long time, I have seen someone this much worried about me after max.

I am still at a loss for words. I don't know how to react I am just crying like a cry baby he will think I am scared of the acid. No, I have gone through far worst. Even if it leaves stains I don't care. I am crying cause he seems familiar. He is doing what no one else did. except for Max.

No one cares about me. Let alone about my health.

Fanning my hand with his warm breaths, he looks at me more like caught me staring at him but this time in his eyes there's no amusement but instead, he seems worried.

It has been so long since I saw this much care in someone else's eye for me.

For me

Avery the misfortune

' You ok ?' He whispers, softly. This time I answer him he deserves that he has helped me and if I won't answer it will be rude.

' I am fine, I am fine '. I said to which he just smiles. I haven't seen anything so catching. He stares at me for a while, even I look up to meet his gaze. My hand is still in his warm hands. I look at my hand which is perfectly intertwined with his.

" Sorry " he mumbles removing his warm hands from mine.  This is awkward extremely awkward. 

We just stood there for a while, the whole class has got empty now it has been long since the bell rang. Not knowing what to do, I turn around to pack my belongings. Before I could grab my things, I am turned around by my wrist with a swift move. I try my best to back up which only results in me almost smacking my back with the wall.

Great

" you didn't answer my question". He whispered. Which almost sent chills down my spine.

God, why is he not dropping it? I shift my gaze away from him like I didn't understand what he means. " Don't you dare ignore me, like that? Trust me you won't like the circumstances " . he whispered back in an extremely calm tone but more like dreadfully. 

" I... I'm we can't be friends ". with that said I flee away as I do always. There is no likelihood between us, the cherry on top is we both are from two different worlds, and even if I agreed it will be like pulling him in danger with me. I don't wanna be his friend cause he pities me. Like there is nothing special in me as compared to all the girls he hangs out with. I ain't even his type.

  As much as I know I need someone who can help me. Who can understand me when no one else can, who can know what I am feeling just by looking at me in the eye?

I can't

We can't be friends. I don't want him to get in trouble for my sake.

I rush to the restroom to let it all out. The thought of going back to my class flee off from my mind. At this instant, I want to be lonely.

It's the worst feeling one can feel. To be all alone.

More tears flood down my eyes. I miss you, Max. I wish you were here. To protect me, to guide me as you did before but I didn't listen to you and....... 

Why can't I have my normal life left where my days were filled with few ups and downs but now there ain't no ups all I do is sob every day. 

Washing my face thoroughly so that there's no sign of me crying. I have been quite famous now I don't want more to add to it. Being my partner on his first day has already brought a lot of attention to me.
