Soon Casolina entered eight grade. Everything went well , she aced up in her studies even in Maths. She became favorite student of every teacher. Especially her tuition mam who was also her school's incharge Madam kylie.
Madam kylie was 38 yrs old , she was very strict. She was a bacholerret , she decided not to marry her entire life( reasons unknown).
Madam Kylie was like Anne Sullivan in Casolina's life. Even though she pretended to be indifferent but she loved Casolina very much.( she played a very important role in Casolina's life).
The entire 8th grade went smoothly , Casolina and Devi became good friends.
Casolina and Dwarka became best friends, they used to go tuition together, bunk it together. They were the best buddies in the class.
Casolina's parents liked Dwarka very much. Dwarka would often visit Casolina's home.
Every Friday there would be an extra curricular activity class for the students.
Casolina and Dwarka choose music class. Unfortunately Tim also chose music class, he would not do anything , simply accompanying his friends and passing comments on Casolina and her group.
One day in the music class Tim passed an inappropriate comment on Casolina.
Casolina along with her friends went to complain to Miss kylie.
After returning to class they told Tim that Miss Kylie was calling for him.
After getting a big lecture Tim returned to class looked at Casolina and said with a sincere expression
"Casolina I'm very sorry!... i shouldn't have behaved like that with you.....
don't expect that I will say such kind of words to you , go and complain to anyone you want .. i don't care! "
Casolinas was speechless looking at his shameless behaviour so she said
" Don't you worry i never expected you to apologize because you can never be changed. I will never talk with you again "
After saying this she went away.
That day after going to tuition Tim recalled the whole situation to his friends,
saying he didn't give a shit to such nonsense.
He was trying to agitate Casolina but she ignored him. She behaved as if she had not heard anything.
The next few days Tim thought of different ways to annoy Casolina, but none of them seemed to affect her.
If anyone even mentioned the name Tim in front of her she would say " i don't know anyone with the name of Tim".
Tim was disappointed with not getting any reaction from Casolina. For the first time he tried pleading her saying he was sorry but nothing seemed to work.
This silent treatment continued for a week.
Casolina thought of having mercy on him, that day she called him.
He was surprised and unknown to him an indescribable smile hung upon his face
"Oh what.. what did you say ? did you call my name?".
" fine if you didn't hear what I said then just ignore it ...ok bye!" said Casolina.
"Hey wait ... wait... wait.. I'm sorry . So you finally forgave me"said Tim happily.
" No not yet I'll forgive you when you will promise me that you will never bully me anymore and whatever i ask you to do you will do it for me. Deal! " said Casolina.
"Ok.. Deal! " confirmed Tim.
From then onwards Casolina and Tim became good friends. They used to share everything with each other, but they would often bicker with each other.
The number of peaceful moments they
had could be counted on fingers but the number of fights ( verbal fights ) they had were uncountable.
Most of the time Tim would get angry on Casolina . He would shout at her in front of everyone but the reasons were unknown.
Tim used to flirt with Casolina , even saying that he loves her but Casolina never took it seriously as he was always going around flirting with other girls.
When his friends asked didn't you say you only loved Casolina then why are you flirting with others , he would reply
" no matter how many girls i flirt with, but Casolina is the only girl i love."
At the end of September month in 8th grade one day while walking to home after the end of tuition, Mukher and Tim approached Casolina who was walking with her friend Dwarka .
Mukher said " Casolina i love you" out of blue.
Casolina was caught off guard , she was shocked to the core she asked Dwarka beside her who just dumbfoundedly stood there
" Dwarka what do you think I should say? "
This was the biggest mistake she committed because Dwarka had had crush on Mukher for many years.( like 5 years)
Dwarka previously had a best friend called Sonia , but they started drifting apart when Sonia got into a relationship with Mukher.
Dwarka replied " It's your wish , you can either say yes or no".
Casolina rejected Mukher's proposal because she never wanted to be in a relationship behind her parent's back.
Well Casolina had principles, one of them being getting into a relationship after she had settled her life.( you know being a doctor, making her parents dream come true and then getting into a relationship....)
The one who was delivered the most fatal blow was Mukher because no girl has ever rejected him.
Then he revealed that he had made a bet with Tim to propose Casolina. He was not serious about the whole propose thing.
After going to home Casolina wondered , Tim was an absolute psycho he would always make those boys life hell when they seemed to be close to Casolina. But he was not bothered by the fact that Mukher would often flirt with Casolina just because Mukher was his best friend.
This possessive nature of Tim made Casolina loose many of her good friends.Well she was soon going to loose Virat her close friend.
