As morning came, it was Wednesday and so they had to wear a red tie for their class uniform. But Krystal forgot to wear the red tie instead she wore a black tie because she woke up late and so was running late for school.
As she entered the class, Richard noticed her uniform and gave her his tie and as soon as he put on his tie on her, before Krystal could reject him the teacher entered the class and inspected their uniforms as it was Wednesday, the teacher noticed that Richard's tie was missing and so he received disciplinary action of running 7 laps around the basketball ground, so before Krystal could defend him, he ran out immediately.
After the inspection, they had normal classes but Krystal could not pay heed to the classes going on but she always tended to look outside the window, she couldn't help worrying about him.
Soon after the classes got over she ran out to him and gave him water to drink and asked, "Why did you have to do those silly things??"
To this he replied, "None of your business"
She then replied, "I couldn't help worrying about you and why did you have to speak to me so rudely in that manner. Am truly sorry for causing you these troubles. Please don't do this again..." and she left.
To this he said to himself, "Why is she getting angry??"
As Krystal went inside the class, it was break time so only Suzy and Mina were waiting for her and they asked her, "Why did he gave his tie to you earlier? Does he like you?"
At this she replied, "Even in my dreams he wouldn't" Then they replied, "Who knows the future!!"
After the lunch break , they had normal classes and when the classes got over, Richard invited both Alex and Krystal to his house so that they could finish their project and submit it tomorrow.
At this they both got very surprised and said, "Huh!! and what about your parents???"
To this Richard replied, "You don't need to worry about it, they both went on a business trip and so my house will remain empty. No more discussions, lets go right now!!"
So Krystal informed her parents that she would be coming back late because she had a project to work upon.
And so the three of them went to his house and as they entered his house, the housemaids of the house were surprised at their young master as it was the first time they saw him bringing a girl to his house.
Richard asked them to bring evening snacks for them in the study room. After he told them those words, Alex, Krystal and Richard went to the study room near the corridor and soon as they entered the room ,all of them gave out their different opinions of the topic of the essay and the presentation.
Alex said, "I think we can write the essay and present it on the topic, 'Poverty'.
To this Richard suggested, "I think that topic is too common, lets try to write the essay based on the topic of, 'Malnutrition' as it also gives a sense of a touching feeling."
Then Krystal said, "Guys, I have an idea, lets write it based on the topic of 'love' and we can add some pictures related to it from the internet and it also covers all aspects of a touching feeling, Don't you think so??"
To this they both agreed to write the topic based on love and soon they divided the work and Alex got the part of searching pictures on the internet ,Krystal got the part of drafting the essay while Richard got the part of typing the draft given to him by Krystal and arranging the presentation.
All of them gave their best shot and time passed swiftly and as Richard turned back after he finished his part, he saw that Krystal and Alex were accidentally holding each others hands and dozing off.
As soon as he saw this, he immediately removed Alex hands from Krystal's and he took her to his bed and made her to sleep properly. He was with her this whole time and and he found that her face was very cute at that moment and since he knew that she was asleep, he said to her, "Actually I like you very much....but I don't know whether you feel the same for me, so I did not confess my love yet"
After he said those words, he held his breath and came closer towards her lips and he closed his eyes in a slow manner and he kissed her. His heart was beating so fast the whole time.
As he was confessing and kissing her, Alex saw him from the door and thought to himself ,"It seems like Richard really likes her but he dare not say it. I must help him confess."
After thinking this to himself he went down to the study room ,packed his things and left a note saying, "Sorry for not informing personally that I was leaving. See you all tomorrow at school"
This whole time he was sitting beside Krystal looking at her lovely face and after some hours Richard came down to the study room and noticed that Alex had left ahead and, he saw the note and as Krystal was sleeping on his bed, he went to sleep on the bed of the guest room.
He smiled the whole night and his heart was beating off the beat. That night he couldn't fall asleep for a minute....
