Luna's Pov

It's been four weeks since Charlotte's accident, Cole didn't go to meet her again in the hospital. He only asked about her whereabouts through text messages. When Sarah last week went to meet her, she told me that Charlotte is recovering now, and all the bruises on her face have also been healed.

Everything between me and Cole is also fine, but I feel something is bothering him. I think it's about Charlotte, she is her childhood friend not been able to help her, during her tough times really bothering him. And I know he has not gone to meet Charlotte again in hospital only because of me. And I feel awful about it.

My thoughts are interrupted when someone slides a hand around my waist and turns me around to face him. "Good Morning Lu", he wishes me Good morning with a kiss on my lips.

" Good Morning Love", I say looking at his green eyes, behind the glasses.

"What you were thinking about?", Cole asks.

" Nothing!", I lie, "Where is Sarah?",

" She directly went to meet Rose in her class",

"Okay",

" All the students gather in the basketball coat immediately ", the voice of the Principal comes out from the speaker.

Cole and I look so do the rest of the students look at each other, wondering the reason behind the Principal's sudden announcement.

"Why did Principal order us to gather in the basketball coat?", Cole asks.

" God knows", I reply.

Cole holds my hand in his, and we both walk towards the Basketball coat.

When we entered the Basketball coat. The principal was standing in the middle with a mic in his hand. And all the students were gathered around him with curiosity. We both join the group of curious lookers.

"You all must be curious to know why I called all of you here", the Principal says on the mic.

He continues," You all must know that one of the students from this school named Charlotte Wilson, had met with an accident five weeks ago. Now she is recovering and she was discharged last week. And from today onwards she will join the school. So I want to request all of you, to help her in these tough times of her. She probably will be in a wheelchair, as both of her legs are fractured. So don't make her awkward, make her feel loved and supported. With the love and help of all of us, Charlotte will get better soon, and will soon walk on her feet", he tells everyone.

"Now all of you go to your respective classes and remember what I have said", the Principal says, and all go out from the Basketball coat.

So, Charlotte is coming back to school, Great! I look at Cole, who looks unmoved by this news. We both walk towards our class, and I see Charlotte outside our class.

She is in a wheelchair, both her legs are covered in a yellow plaster cast, and the cast of her right hand is in a green color plaster cast. What an awful choice of color for the cast. And I am damn sure that Doctor doesn't choose the color of her cast, it's her choice. Because she doesn't have any taste of colors. And also because yellow is the favorite color of both Cole and her. There is a slight but visible scar on her right cheek. Which she didn't bother to hide with makeup. And the dress she is wearing is in bright red, making her look like, that she is going to act in the circus.

Her slipper falls from her right leg, which is elevated. And she struggles to pick it up. And all my judgments about her appearance which I was passing in my head to avoid the awful pitiful feeling comes back. Making me say something which I wanted to avoid saying since Charlotte's accident.

I take a deep breath," Cole!",

"Yeah Babe", he looks at me.

" Cole, we should help Charlotte in her tough times", I use the Principal's phrase.

"What?", he looks at me with wide eyes.

" Yeah. Charlotte needs help Cole, look at her terrible condition, she can not pick her own fallen slipper. She requires a friend in this condition of her, and she doesn't have any in this school except you. So as her childhood friend you should help her, it's your duty to be there for her in her tough times", I know I am going to regret this decision, but I know this is the right thing to do.
