In the interview

"Jeff is a sort of person who acknowledges a matter on hold only after a thorough analysis, also he doesn't poke his nose into individuals businesses unless they are close one's. 

He is a cold empath who might horrify you by  speaking out regarding one's invisible feelings or  communicating one's unspoken words to the other. And fortunately or unfortunately his assumptions or rather conclusions turn out to be as true as 'The Four Noble Truths'. He was right when he  detected my unrequited puppy love over my cousin and about Apo's feelings...., it did turn out true in the future.",    Anna described while Jeff who was sitting in the audience listened to her intently with a pair of glazed eyes.

Jeff's  assumptions mortified the two individuals, especially Mile. He felt triggered by such a heinous idea which had blossomed in Jeff's mind. When he turned his stare towards Emily, she kept looking down at the floor with a guilty demeanour. He couldn't believe the fact that the pure friendly mutual understanding thread that entangled him with Apo was seen by his friends in such a wrong sight. This idea seemed as impossible as fetching moon from the sky. 

"How dare you. How could you even have such a filthy thought about us. Let me make it clear, I am not gay and I am sure Po isn't as well. Also, there are no things such as love in between two ladies or two gentlemen, I believe its just a staged play to appear different in front of the world and I despise such dirty plays.", Mile roared.

Such unjust filled and narrowminded statements were not taken well by Jeff. He was enraged to an extent that his hand involuntarily went for a punch on the other lad's face as response, even before his lips uttered a single word. Currently Mile seemed no different from the crowd of  affluent who despised the presence of an autistic  soul among them, during the Christmas party.      

"I thought you were kind hearted and loving. But unfortunately you too turned out to be a crappy biased person who seems to be born in the wrong generation. For the first time in my entire life, I just hope that my presumption turns out to be false and if he is in love with you indeed, you dick head don't seem to be deserving....Also love is love, irrespective of gender and I am ashamed to have a pal like you. I don't  know if you are unaware of your surroundings or you pretend to be, but if you look out intently there are many close people surrounding you and expecting to have something more with you. ", just like that Jeff berated Mile and walked out of the scene without awaiting for his reaction. On the other hand the culprit just stuck to the same spot dumbfounded and sort of guilty.       

Just as Emily and Mile reached their classroom, his eyes searched for Apo. He was surrounded by a group of three to four students including Preen and Bible, and currently he seemed to be explaining Einstein's energy equation in the most animated way as possible, with diagrammatic interpretations and hand written notes, without uttering a single word. This was a hidden mesmerising talent of the young prodigy. A bundle of confusing thoughts engulfed Mile's brain as he kept gawking at Apo from his seat.

Does he seriously like him?

Does he want their relation to be more than just friends??

But he doesn't seem to hate Preen. If he wanted to scout me, the first of several things he would do, would be to dismiss any sort of interaction with the girl.

What is it that has been running over his mind??Will they even interact like earlier days??

Just as Mile kept analysing the different scenarios and involuntarily staring at Apo, he felt  brief glance from the other lad leading to a collision of stares before both of their heads diverted to the opposite directions.
