Thua POV

The moment Akk and Ayan were fighting, I came in. And I witnessed Wat intervene with them and stopped the fight between them.

People always call me a silent boy or a shy boy. I hate listening to those words. I always wish, why couldn't I be one like Wat or Akk or Khan be bold enough to face such situations when required?

Ayan calmed down and he was sitting in his place. "Ayan, your nose.....It is bleeding", I said to him.

"Shit!!", he looked up and tried to make them stop bleeding.

"Keep an ice pack, so that the bleeding will stop.", I suggested to him.

He didn't reply. He is most like this with everyone. But I guess, he at least talks with me a little.

"Should I accompany you to the first aid room?", I asked him.

"No thanks. I can deal it with myself.", he snapped at me.

He is a little mean person. He is shutting out all the people who want to be near him.

He left the room in a great hurry. I never cared about where he goes or what he does maybe not anymore because he seems to not want people around him.

My shoulder hurts. Probably because of what my stepdad did yesterday. He was very drunk yesterday and abused me badly. Why the hell has to be my life like this? My real dad was very lovely to me. He never once just raised his voice against me.

But time has changed. My mom is happy with him. I don't know if I have to complain about him to her. Because with him she smiles, the smile that she lost after my dad passed away.

I don't want to ruin that. I can tolerate it. Maybe sometimes if silence means good for other people you have to be silent. I guess. My theories may be wrong perhaps.

My sleep pattern got worse because of it. In the morning too Wat asked me, "Are you having enough sleep or not? You have got baggy eyes Topper"

That was not because I was learning all night. He beats me over silly problems and I could not bear the pain that is inflated over me.

The next hour started and there were no signs of Ayan showing up to the class. Akk and Wat returned to the class along with Khan.

"Thua, you should have seen Akk punch Ayan. That was a great hit. Akk once again proves that he is a Judo Champion", Wat said to me praising Akk.

"But I saw the aftermath of his punch. Ayan was bleeding badly, I saw during the break", I said to him without losing the calmness in my voice.

Everyone turned around to see Ayan in his seat, but he was not there. Akk was so worried and that was obvious on his face.

The class started, and he was not listening to the class. He was just staring out of the door and his watch and then door and watch. He did this in the loop.

After a while of doing this in a loop, he stood from his place and went straight to the staff and asked some permission, and left the class.

Everybody looked at each other perplexed about Akk's strange behavior. We were out of answers.

Khan turned towards me and asked where the class follow-up is and. I said him the location

Akk POV

What the hell have I done? I am so crazy to act so impulsively. I don't want this issue to be taken to the principal or any other staff. If not my entire reputation as a school president will go in a fraction of a second.

I don't want to be the rule breaker. A RULE MAKER SHOULD BE A RULE BREAKER.

After what Thua said, my heart was beating fast probably because of what I did to Ayan. The one thing that runs through my mind is he should not complain about me to the higher officials.

I asked the staff permission that I was not well and I went to the First Aid room. There I saw Ayan, keeping his nose in one position and helping himself with an ice bag.

He saw me entering the room. He made a disgusting facial reaction. I don't know how to initiate the talk.

"Ayan.... I am sorry", I apologized to him.

He didn't reply anything to me. What a hell of an attitude! "Excuse me, I said I am sorry"

"Is it bleeding too much?", I asked going closer to him and catching hold of his hand which he was using to keep the ice bag on his face.

"Just leave me!!", he pushed my hands away.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Are you crazy or something?", I was made furious for the second time in a row.

"You should have gotten more punch", I just cursed him and left the room, and barged outside furiously. Whatever happens to him, I am least concerned. Just because I was feeling guilty, I came and apologized to him. But who needs such an attitude?

The day went so bad and miserable. I could not concentrate on the classes. One side of me was so angry over him and the other side was angry over me that was why I punched him.

After school, I went to the grocery store to buy a few snacks for the evening. "Hello", someone called me.

"Hi. Do we know each other?", I asked.

"I am Ayan's mother. I saw you the other day at the principal's office", she said.

"Oh Yeah. I remember"

"How is Ayan coping with school? ", she asked me.

My mind wanted to say the truth that he is the most disliked person in class and people hate his mysterious behavior.

"He is great in academics but he still needs time to make friends", I said more neutrally.

"Oh. I was so worried about him. You are the school president, right?", she asked me.

"Yes, mam. I am"

"That is so nice. Ayan was more like you. He was the president in his previous school", she said.

What the hell? Was he? I could not believe my ears. If he was so good, then why is he acting like a brat in this school? I wanted to ask her more about him. But I cannot, maybe I should not. There may be something that had happened in his life so that he had change like this. Initially, his fracture of him surprised me, and then this.

"Oh. That is great", I just said and smiled a little.

"Yeah. Actually, he is waiting in the car outside. He doesn't like to come inside the supermarket.", she just chuckled and said.

"Okay mam, then I will leave.", I greeted her and started to leave that place.

"Okay, Akk. Bye"

When I came out of the store, I saw him, sitting in one of the cars. He looked the same as in school there was not a bit of difference in his facial reaction. The same cold stare.

Our eyes met once. There was only hatred in our eyes. But I got a reverence for him. He was a school president in his old school! But still, what he did today by disrespecting me was unacceptable.
