Ryan came down shoutingly to Larry,
"Larry where you are".
"What happened".
"See this page". He handed some crumbled piece of papers to Larry, it contains some old photos that belonged to their boarding school.
"This girl looks Illyana."
"Oh! mad Ryan she's pretty sure Illyana."
"Oh that's why she is so much arrogant." Ryan exclaimed.
"Not that much." Larry said.
Ryan looked at him with the sense of amazement. They both stared at each other and laughed together and shouted,
"Oh! So she is really monster's daughter."
They are new to school but stories of cruel Dean is known to everyone. Both developed a fake sympathy towards Illyana as being daughter of such cruel mother, she is really brave.
Larry was roaming in the second floor when he saw some rush was there at the end of the stairs. When he reached at the sight Illyana was standing three in front of Dean covering her face with her hands and crying.
Dean slapped Illyana in front of whole crowd and shouted, "One day you foolish girl would definitely let me down.'
Illyana was totally hopeless and embarrassed and left the place hard steps of her sandals could be heard and anyone can judge her anger of being sloped n front of so big crowd.
Larry too left the place. He was kuch happy that day. His heart was pinching and he was feeling bad for teasing Illyana who is already so much depressed. He went to pool with Ryan as usual when he is sad he come at this place. He found Illyana already sitting there. He guessed that Illyana also loved this place when she is not much happy as a tragedy happened with her today. Yes it's tragedy for Illyana because for a brilliant girl and daughter of school's first person, being slapped publically can be claimed as tragedy.
Larry sat down and there at other side of pool because he was no longer interested to tease Illyana.
"Hey, Ryan you know that monster's daughter is really not so bad."
"What'd you mean to say?"
"I guessed that circumstances made her so much arrogant." Larry said seriously
"Oh! that's useless thing, circumstances are in everyone's life but it depends on us how to manage them and be happy in all ways." Ryan said. Its first time when Ryan was seemed so much serious.
"Oh Mr. Philosopher it's no Jennifer's class that you are teaching me."Larry laughed.
"What's serious I am telling the truth."
"What truth?"
"Your life is worse then her Larry and I..."
Ryan stopped in middle of his sentence as he was trying to hide something from Larry.
"What l..." Larry beamed at Ryan.
"Nothing you will not understand it."
"Why we are the best friends now and you have never told about yourself anything." Larry questioned. Ryan was concealing something and he left the place, Larry tried to stop him but he made unheard to Larry. Larry went back him and tried a lot to stop him. In the room Larry found Ryan sitting on the bed solving his Rubic cube, his eyes were filled with tears. Larry made lot efforts to know the truth and finally Ryan opened his mouth and said,
" You know my father is billionaire and mother is one of the known lady but still.." Tears choked his words.
"Still...??" Larry asked.
"Still I'm here away from them because they never loved me."
"What'd you mean to say?"
" They saw me tramp mannered and keeping and feel that keeping me with them would let down their status."
Larry was shocked to see Ryan emotions because till the day they meet ist was for the first time Ryan was seen behaving angrily.
He tried to stop Ryan crying but nothing worked and he felt himself helpless. He shut off the lights if the room and went to bed. He can hear Ryan still sobbing and didn't know when he slept..
