"Ting....." the school bell rang for the classes to begin.
Krystal was seated at her seat when Mina and Suzy approached before the teacher entered the class to her asking whether she liked Richard .
Krystal quickly kicked off the question by answering that she had someone she liked.
They both were amazed at her answer and exclaimed "What!!!!"Why didn't you share with us earlier?????"
Then Krystal replied, "Can you get a grip out of it? The one I like is my one and only chocolate ice-cream. Didn't you know? Who will like that new transferred student who made my life more harder by giving me just a glance."
"Ah! So you don't like him?" asked Mina. We thought that you were also among those girls who liked him like us. Me along with Suzy searched his information the whole night and it says that he is the heir to a wealthy company of "Leysen" that famous branded jewellery company."
Can you believe that he is sitting next to you???" asked Suzy to Krystal. Then Krystal showing no signs of interest quickly replied saying "Who cares about such a show off boastful guy!!Huh!!"
As they were speaking to each other , all the girls began to scream out suddenly with joy and excitement.
As Krystal and her friends looked up wondering what was going on they saw 2 handsome men approaching them. And as soon as Richard sat on his desk ,the teacher entered the class and everyone paid heed to the lessons being taught but there were some girls who were peeking at Richard.
As the class got over, lunch break came. As soon as lunch break came some girls came rushing to give Richard sweets, flowers, cards etc. but he rejected all of them very coldly.
After all the girls went, she asked Richard why he gave a glance at her yesterday as they were about to leave the school. Then Richard boastfully said, "None of your business" and he left for the break.
Krystal calmly faced the situation and left for the lunch break with her friends. As they were having lunch in the school canteen, Suzy asked Krystal what she was talking about with Richard earlier.....Krystal quickly said that it was nothing but discussing useless things. After the break they went to their classes as usual.
"Ting...." School got over and as Krystal was about to leave with her friends, their classmates reminded them that they were in charge of cleaning the class that day. When they were about to start cleaning, a call came saying that Mina's mother had a sudden accident and was admitted to a hospital.
Krystal suggested Suzy to leave with Mina as she needed someone beside her to comfort her....So they both went ahead.
By the time Krystal started to clean the classroom all by herself , all of the students left the school and she was left all alone by herself. As she was about to finish cleaning she found a blue diary on the floor, she wondered whose diary it was, and so as she was about to open the diary to know the owner of the diary, someone came rushing and said aloud 'DON'T TOUCH IT"
It happened to be Richard's personal diary which he had forgotten earlier and so he came back to get the diary.
He abruptly spoke to Krystal saying "Did you need to check others property without their permission?"
Then Krystal replied raising her voice, "Did you think I also wanted to read your diary? Even in your dreams I wouldn't read it. I was just going to check out who was the owner of the diary. Got it?"
"Don't simply misunderstand others..." said Krystal looking at him with furrowed eyebrows.
Then Richard replied provoking her, "Are you a fool? Can't you see that the diary was in my desk?"
Krystal replied in a low tone, "Oh! I found your diary on the floor! Who would think it would be yours?"
Then Richard said in a cool and boastful manner, "Give it back to me!"
As they were quareling, the diary where many leaves of pages had been inserted fell off accidentally on the floor, so both of them bended down to pick it up.
As soon as they bended down, the school peon came across the classes checking through the window whether the classes were kept clean and as he passed through the classroom where Krystal was cleaning, he saw no one as they both were sitted down under the desk collecting the fallen pages of the diary. So the peon thought that no one was there ,so he locked the classroom and left.
As Krystal and Richard stood up after they had finish picking up the pages of the diary , Richard gave a cold glance to Krystal.
At this Krystal immediately apologized by saying "By the way, am sorry!"
Then Richard replied in an irritating way, " If sorry could solve all the problems ,why would the police be needed?"
Krystal then sighed and said, "Ok! you win".
As they both approached the door, they found that the door was locked so they both tried calling out for help but no one answered their call for help since everyone left the school. At this Richard gave Krystal an angry look.
Krystal then said "Hey! it's not entirely my fault for being stuck in here! If you hadn't quarreled with me, we would not be in this situation."
Then Richard asked her, "Did you carry your phone? Let's call our friends to come over to help us..." As both looked at their phones, Krystal's phone ran out of battery and Richard's phone was getting no signal(no network coverage).
At this Krystal sighed and said, " Seems like we have to spend the night here! Ah! I even hate the thought of it!"
Then Richard replied looking at her with eyes filled with anger, "Then do you think I like the thought of it??"
They both looked at each other with frustrated attitudes against each other. They both sitted at the corner of the classes opposite to each other. After sometime Krystal gave Richard drinkable water from her schoolbag and said to him that he had to drink it to survive the night.
Time passed as they were having small conversations and soon it became dark and suddenly the sky began to thunder very loudly and it was followed by lightning, so the current went off and soon the rain began to pour down very heavily creating a very scary scene.
Luckily Richard's phone had some remaining battery so he had put on the flashlight and it helped in making the scene a less scary one.
Krystal was scared of the thunder but she held it within her and she did not show it out. She said to herself, "Ah! my mom must be worried about me! My family would be waiting for me! Ah! " and she sighed.
At this ,Richard replied by saying, "Do you know I really envy you?"
Then Krystal asked in a confused tone, "What do you mean?"
Richard answered with a look of sincerity upon his face, "You don't know the life of the son of a businessman. They are too busy that they do not even worry about me, they do not care whether I get home or not....At least you have someone who worries and waits for you" and he sighed.
At this Krystal tried to understand him and thought to herself that he wasn't really rude by nature but it was nature that made him one.
A few minutes later she looked at Richard and realized that they both were feeling cold due to the cold weather and that Richard could not sleep properly due to the cold weather.
Luckily Krystal wore a sweater and had her schoolbag round her arms but Richard wore only a shirt and had nothing to cover himself, so Krystal realizing that it was mostly her fault, she gave her schoolbag to him and made him to hug it round his arms when he was half asleep so that it could give him more warmth.
After she gave him the bag she went back to the corner where she sat earlier. Even though she felt cold, she beard it and gradually she too fell asleep and that's how both of them spend the cold chilly night....
