Monday
In school

Manik was standing in the playground playing basketball.

"Manik" Manik heard someone calling his name. He turned back to see who was calling him.

On turning back, he saw Alisha standing there with sad face.

"Yes Alisha, you want to say something." Manik asked moving towards her.

"Yes, actually Manik I want to talk with you." Alisha looked at manik and said expectantly.

"Meet me after an hour in canteen." Manik said.

"Manik please this is important." Alisha said pleadingly.

"Ok. Let me just inform them." Manik said indicating towards his team.

After informing his team manik went with Alisha.

"Now say, what is your important talk." Manik asked Alisha.

"Manik, I wanted to talk about that exam day. Do you really think i will make chits and will try to frame Nandini? Manik I swear I didn't done anything. " Alisha asked with fake tears.

"What do you want to say Alisha? Say clearly." Manik asked Alisha sternly.

"Manik you know me for a year. I don't even know Nandini properly. Why will I even try to do something like this with her. " Alisha said.

Manik started to think something. "Then how come it was your hand writing in those chits. " Manik asked

"Manik two persons can have same handwriting. I know you are her family friend. But manik I also was your friend. Don't you trust me this much. " Alisha said being sad.

"Manik we have worked together for a year. Have you ever saw me, doing any kind of negligence in my work. Have you ever saw me, cheating in my exams. Have you ever saw me, behaving rudely with someone. And why will I do anything like this to her." Alisha said seeing manik lost in thoughts.

"No Alisha I haven't. But Nandini, even she can't cheat in exam. I myself have saw her studying day and night. At first, she was very scared for mathematics but I myself had taught her and she just grasped everything easily. She is very good in solving questions. She gave her cent percent for the exams." Manik said.

"I am not saying she has cheated Manik. Don't take me wrong but, you yourself had said that she was scared. Sometime people do these kinds of acts in fear. Maybe she has not cheated but it is possible that she took those chits with her for backup thinking if she will forget then she can take help. And she was topper of her class, so for maintaining her position she could have taken those chits." Alisha said. Manik started thinking.

"You are saying right Alisha. It can be possible." Manik said and Alisha gets happy listening this.

"Manik, I want to ask one more thing. Is Nandini your friend?" Alisha asked.

"No she is not my friend. She is just a family friend. In fact, I don't even like her. She is a big headache, always blabbering something or other. I got annoyed listening her " Manik said making bad face.

"You are right. How can someone speak so much. I also don't like her. Don't you think that she is inappropriate for head girl's position. She may misuse her position." Alisha said with hatred in her eyes.

"You are right Alisha. I will talk about this to faculty. Don't worry, now you will be head girl again." Manik said to her smilingly.

"Thank you Manik. Thank you so much for trusting me." Alisha said hugging him.

Someone was listening there talks from corner. The person just ran from there with tears and anger in eyes.

Alisha happily went from there.

In one classroom

Two girls were talking happily and laughing.

"Naina, you know what Manik trusted me over Nandini. I told him that it wasn't me who wrote those chits and he believed me." Alisha said while laughing.

"Wow. It's great now Manik will hate that Nandini and will not help her. Every time she came first. She is the topper. She is everyone's favourite. I always tried hard so that I will beat her but no she always had someone's support. All the teachers always praise her. But from now on manik will not help her." Naina said with hatred.

"Your plan was great Alisha. But manik is very intelligent. He in one minute understood that it was your hand writing. We were almost caught but Mrs Oberoi in her hatred helped us unknowingly." Naina continued.

"But how did you put those chits in her pocket. " Alisha asked.

"Oh that was easy, in that crowd of students, I just bumped with her intentionally so that her geometry box get fall. And when she bent down to took it, at that moment i put chits in her pocket. But what enmity you have have with Nandini?" Naina said proudly and asked a question at last

"I was the head girl last year. I thought that this year also I will be the one, but that Nandini snatched my place. Then I thought if she will be caught cheating then she will be removed from her position. But she escaped it. But now I have manipulated Manik. He himself will help me in removing her from head girl's position." Alisha said smirking.

Both the girls started laughing like maniac.

In other classroom

"How can manik think like this. He don't trust me. He gets annoyed from me. I speak too much." Nandini thought crying.

"If he think like this, then alright I will not even speak in front of him." Nandini said wiping her tears harshly.

"All the students come to auditorium right now. Come fast it's an important announcement." Listening this all the students started to go towards auditorium.

Nandini went towards her friends.

"Nandu, where were you, we were searching you."Navya asked.

"I went to washroom." Nandini answered.

"Where are boys. I haven't seen Cabir from an hour. He wasn't present in last lecture also." Alya asked.

"Look there, they are coming" Mukti said seeing them coming.

Manik, Dhruv, Abhimanyu and Cabir came towards them and stood with them.

Nandini saw manik and turned her face other side and started talking with Navya.

Manik saw this and found it weird but then shrugged his thoughts.
