Ava was enjoying her cupcake when she heard a girl exclaim, "He is so hot."
Glancing at them, she followed the girls' line of sight and her eyes landed on a handsome teenager who had folded his sleeves up, sweating a lot.
He caught her watching him, but this time she didn't smile at him. He picked a new dessert he had prepared for her, served it on a plate, and reached her table.
She hadn't ordered it so her focus was on the words the girl had said. Being always alone in the house, she knew how it feels to have nobody to take care of her when she falls ill.
Hence her hand reached for his forehead to check the temperature and froze when his face darkened and glared at her. She felt hurt, not just because of his reaction, her mother's words replayed in her mind, 'Keep your filthy hands away.' Yes, she was dirty, she had forgotten it.
The handsome teenager who wanted to speak to her turned around and left. He was feeling wronged too.
