Sorry I couldn't hear you. Could you tell me again?" Tenzing looks at me .
"Good..." I sigh.
"Sorry I couldn't hear you again." Tenzing looks at me , scanning me clear fully ,"Anyhow. You sure you don't want help ?"
I look at him as he looks at his awaiting entourage at the end of the aisle. Of course I want help but more over talk to you on the way.
But he looked like a small kid waiting for his mother to agree to let him go play.
"Yeah sure . I will manage." I say.
"Kay. See ya." He says and runs towards his friends.
"See ya then." I try waving but my hand hurts from holding the stack of papers.
Finally somehow I reached Ms Sonam's office and kept the letters on her clutter of a desk. But I was kind of hoping for her to be there when I delivered the letter,so at least someone would know I helped at least somebody.

After a week.
"Yangsel and Eden could you guys drop by my office in after school." Ms. Sonam informs us at the end of her class and moves out the door.
"Finally has Eden complained to the counselor about her bully." Little guy* says. The class applauds .
This guy has really got the nerves to judge others. Or did Eden really complain about me. I look at Eden only to find her standing up.She bangs the table
"No.. I have not complained and nor do I have a bully. Or do you guys think I am too weak to be bullied by someone ." Eden sneers at *.
Did she say it to make me feel good or did she really do it cause of the way other sees her,weak? Probably because she still think of me as her friend. So I smile at her but she looks at me and quickly looks away and sits down.

"Ugh I have to go to the counselor at the end of the school ." I complain to Kinley. "Wait you have to go to the counselor too... " He looks at me shocked.
"You too?" I ask. " Ms. Sonam just said it to me."He says.
"Wonder what it could be about?"
I ask him and he tries to say something but only to get caught up in mid sentence.
"Guys . Guys! I am sorry I will not be able to hang with you guys after school I was called by the counselor. I don't know what she will say but I am guessing it's about how people are jealous of my beauty." Norbu runns towards us and gives a model pose sarcastically.
"Wait you too?" Kinley rolls his eyes at his sister.
"Wait you guys were ask to come too because of people being jealous with you." Norbu asks.
"No but we were ask to come too, probably for a different reason than yours." I say.
"Probably ." Norbu stands between Kinley and I to link each of our arm in hers.
I look at Norbu amazed just last week we had fought and just the very next day she forgot about it and talked as usual.

After school I was about to leave when Kinga stopped me, "Um..
Yangsel could you hold back a minute."
"Yeah sure ." I said to him.
"So thank you so much for helping me out the last time." He reached to my desk as soon as everyone else left.
"You are welcome." I pack my bag and was about to leave the door when a hand stopped me.
"But today..." Kinga says. A strangeness to his voice. Did I do something wrong?
"I want to ask for another favor off from you." He says.
" But I am busy today Kinga . I have to go." I say as remove his hands off my shoulder.
"But please just this one time."I hear a shake in his voice.
"But...you have got to understa-" I turn round to face tears in Kinley's eyes. This guy seriously is troubled.
Maybe I should consider him counselling than rather me going there today. " Now don't cry.." I say, how are you supposed to console someone?
"Yangsel you coming?!" Norbu calls me from the door . I turn my head to see Norbu jumping up and down near the corridor and Kinley leaning on the wall.
"Ok, Kay, Now don't cry what is it that you need my help with?" I ask.
"Please do my homework ." He hands me his work sheet.
"I will explain to you later." He says and leaves.
"But not all my answers will be correct I promise you that ." I tell to his back.
"It's ok" He replys.
"What was that all about ? I think I saw Kinga cry." Norbu looks at me waiting for an answer.
"Seems a little girl can't handle our friend Yangsel here." Kindly jokes.
Oh forgot to mention ,Kinley seemed to had gotten good on sports so yes, him,Tenzing and Kinga seemed to be sports rival.
*Trok*Trok* Kinely knocks when we reached the counselor's room.
"Come in." A voice replies.
But to my surprise when I entered the room. The people whom I had joined this school for, all this time whom I had wished to meet together.
My childhood friends. Including Kinley, Norbu,Tenzing, Eden and Nima.
"Shit!What are they here for now?" Norbu reaches to Kinley and me and whispers...
