Aai's forehead got red. When she saw Sam, she freezes. Sam was unconscious with blood near his mouth.
Aai: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I'm sorry... ". She repeated frightenly.
Ren: "Hey! what's wrong?" he sees her shivering.
Aai: "I'm... I'm sorry I shouldn't have been close to him, I'm sorry". She was in a shock. She clenched on Ren's shirt tightly.
Ren: "...Hey it's okay... ". He tried comforting her but she faints.
At dawn,
Aai wakes up frightened in her room. Ren who was next to her, leaned forward,
Ren: "Thank God you're finally awake". As Ren checks Aai's forehead, she shouts,
Aai: "STAY AWAY FROM ME!".
Ren: "Aai!?".
Aai: "I keep telling you, if you stay close to me you will get hurt and I... I just don't want that". She starts tearing up.
Ren: "Aai that's not true. It's nothing like that". He reaches his hand forward near her cheeks.
Aai: "Why don't you just understand. When you were with me, you...had an accident and now... Sam..." she starts crying. Ren goes close to her and hugs here. Aai struggles but Ren comforts her,
Ren: "Aai stop blaming yourself. Look I'm here and Sam is also completely fine, see".
Veil and Sam stood near the door.
Veil: "Aai, Sam didn't even get a single scratch. You didn't hurt him but actually protected him from getting hurt. Sam, got to say something?".
Actually as Sam ran away from Veil, he banged his leg to the table. There was a ketchup bottle on the table and when Sam banged, it was about to fall on him but Aai ran and held him, from which she hit her head on the floor. The bottle fell on the floor beside them and when everyone's attention was on Aai, Sam took a bit ketchup and applied on him and acted unconscious.
Sam: "Sniff ( crying )...I'm sorry sister. I'd applied ketchup. I didn't mean to scare you...sniff I'm sorry I was being naughty". he cried.
Aai calmed herself and patted the boy's head,
Aai: "It's Ok".
Sam hugged Aai. She had an headache from the hurt, so she went to rest.
She went to school and the talks about the previous day spread.
Aai was undisturbed with it. She glared at them and the others shut their mouth.
During breaks, she would walk behind the school and sit under the tree hiding herself.
One day, during break as Aai was walking, suddenly a boy bumped onto her,
: "Are you ok? Sorry, I didn't see you coming", he offered her help but she refused. Aai got up and walked away.
: "Max!" the boys called him. They came near him.
: What's wrong?"
Max: "...Nothing". He kept looking at Aai.
: "..."
After few days,
Aai was taking a nap under the tree. After some time as she got up to return to class, she heard some noise. Infront of her a girl was confessing to a boy.
: "Will you go out with me?" the girl said looking downwards.
: " ...ok". He agreed. The girl looked content and then went away. Just as she went, two boys came near him. One of them said,
: "Max, are you for real? You say OK to every confession then after few days you break up with them. Have you ever taken any girl seriously?". the boy laughs.
Max: "It's not me who breaks up but they. By the way all girls are the same, they have never taken me seriously".
As they sat on the bench and kept talking, a person came out and walked away.
The three boys looked at her, stunt.
: "Wow, from where did she pop out?"
: "...".
: "...".
The next day,
During break as Aai was walking behind the school, she saw some girls ganging.
"Wow, I've seen boys ganging but girls too", she murmured at herself.
She thought that it must be girls meeting up so she tried avoiding the issue but.
