During the 15-minute break, Adam asked Sam about the details of his delay. Sam, slightly embarrassed, explained, "When I was talking to you last night, I went to put some clothes in the washing machine. Somehow, my school pants got mixed in, and when I took them out this morning, they were completely torn."
Adam chuckled at the mishap, but Sam just shrugged, saying, "It was a mess, but that's how my morning started."
But Adam didn't know that this wasn't the entire truth he was expecting, there was more to the story than San had told to him
After the fifth period, They had canteen break. without wasting any time Adam told to Sam to meet him canteen as soon as possible. because Sam was writing the notes of the first period.Sam make the ,"Okay" sign with his thumb finger.
Adam hurried to the canteen , took out the ice crean, he'd brought for Theodore. As he took out the ice cream Theodore and his friend along with mike were comming to the canteen. At first Mike saw Adam as he was talking the ice crean and slowly nudge Theodore arm with his own.
As he drew the attention he needed from Theodore, Mike said , "see today Adam surely came too fast and now he is taking out his ice."
Theodore Replied to Mike, Maybe it's for me.
Then adam saw and waved his hand and all motion to sit in a large table.
Today Theodore's friend William took the charge of odring the food , scrolling through the menu provided by the canteen person's.even Mike and Harry debated over what to choose.
Amid the discussion, Adam quitely handed the ice cream he had brought to Theodore, and even handed him a spoon to scoop it.
When Theo saw the ice cream, he was taken aback, not knowing how to react. He had thought Adam was joking about bringing it, but now, holding the spoon, he realized Adam was serious.
Seeing Theodore not moving his finger, Adam grew a bit concerned."You don't like this flavour, do you?" Adam asked , a hint of worry appear in his voice.
Oh!, silly me !I should have asked you which flavour you wanted last night."
Theodore looked up, surprised by Adam's concern. He smiled softly, shaking his head. "No, it's not that. I just... wasn't expecting it. This flavor is fine," he replied, taking the spoon and finally digging into the ice cream.
"So, I'm finally forgiven, huh?" Adam asked with a playful smile, trying to lighten the mood as Theo continued to enjoy the ice cream. Theo chuckled and nodded, "Yeah, I guess you are."
As this interaction unfolded, Mike, Harry, and William were busy with their own conversation, oblivious to the exchange between Adam and Theo. Harry finally caught the waiter's attention and placed the order, listing off the items quickly. "Two plates of sandwiches—one veg and one non-veg, each. A pizza, both veg and non-veg, with extra cheese. And one glass of orange juice."
The waiter nodded and left, leaving the group to settle in and wait for the food.
As soon as the order were placed, Sam arrived and naturallly moved to sit beside the Adam. Noticing this, Theodore's expression subtly shifted, his displeasure evident. Without wanting to make a scene, he caught Mike's eyes and signaled him. Mike, understanding Theodore, quickly spoke up,"
"Hey Sam, why don't you sit over here next to Harry? We need someone to help us with this menu—we might order more ."
Sam hesitated for a moment, but then nodded, moving over to sit beside Harry.
As Adam watched Theo enjoy the ice cream, he couldn't help but feel a pang of envy, his eyes shining with a longing expression. Theo, noticing Adam's look, smiled and offered him a spoonful, inviting him to share the treat. Adam's heart fluttered as he happily accepted, savoring the moment of closeness.
Mike, always up for some fun, leaned in with a mischievous grin and asked, "Hey, Adam, why did you give your favorite ice cream to Theo and not to us? Feeling a bit left out here!"
Adam, caught off guard, blushed slightly and fumbled for a response. "Uh, well... I just thought... you know, Theo might like it," he said, glancing at Theo, who was trying not to smile too much. "I can bring more next time for everyone," Adam quickly added, hoping to ease the teasing.
In amid of all these , The food arrived and all quickly finished their share.
Mike leaned over to Adam, lowering his voice slightly. "Hey, I've collected all the materials you mentioned, but I'm in a bit of a bind. I haven't finished my two projects yet. Do you think you could help me out? Only if you're free, of course."
Adam nodded thoughtfully. "Yeah, I can help you out. We can work on it after classes."
Mike smiled in relief. "Thanks, Adam. Let's meet at the school gate after class ends, and we can figure it out from there."
"Sounds good," Adam agreed, already planning how they'd tackle the projects together.
As the time passed by , before they reach to their class room.Sam couldn't shake off the feeling and concern he felt Adam bringing the ice crean for Theodore. He had been mulling over the sitution.but he didn't know how to approach Adam as for what he was doing wasn't somthing to be proud off.
after the school ended, they all gather at the school gate.
Adam and Sam met the Theodore friend's at the school gate , as theey were waking the road which Adam had not walked and was not familiar the Theodore guided him.
Mike along with Harry and William kept the Sam busy.
As Adam and Sam approached Mike's house, they were struck by its charm. The house was simple but yet had an elegant classic design, with large windows that let in plenty of light, and a neatly kept garden in front. The exterior was painted in soft, warm colors, and the front porch had a cozy seating area with a few potted plants.
The pathway leading to the house was lined by small but decorative flated stone and had some shrubs planted here and there.
