Amelia: It's really rare to see you outside.
Jaxon(in his mind): That's because I would have still been asleep by now if it wasn't for mother
Amelia: Anyway, I'm really sorry!
Jaxon: What are you apologizing for? If anything, it should be me who should be apologizing for offering you such plain food af-
Amelia: WAIT! That's has nothing to do with your lunch. It's me who is in the wrong, I-I just couldn't control my happiness after eating such delicious dish that I couldn't help but run with joy.
Amelia(in her mind): WHAT NONSENSE ARE YOU SPEAKING AMELIA! Now he will think that you are-
Jaxon: I see.
*Amelia is surprised*
Jaxon(with a small smile): I am glad that you don't hate me
Amelia(in her mind): How can anyone hate a person like you?
Flashback
*Amelia is sitting inside her classroom in the evening. Everyone else has already left the class while Amelia is still finishing her part of the group assignment since she couldn't complete her part because of being sick for the past two days.*
Amelia(in her mind): This is really bad! The submission for the project is tomorrow and I still half to complete half of my essay. What should I do! Why did I have to get sick before the submission . My body is still weak due to the fever right now. God! Please send help.
Jaxon: Um, Excuse me.
Amelia(in her mind): How long were you here!
Amelia: uh, wait a minute you are.....
Jaxon: I am Jaxon , one of your partners in group project.
Amelia(in her mind): he is the boy who hardly speaks with anyone in the group. The one who is rumored to carry a big ego.
Amelia: Can I help you with something?
Jaxon: Well, I know how hard it can be to work on a project while a person still haven't recovered from sickness (he takes out a few papers from his bag), so I have made hand written notes which might help in reducing in your burden a little.
Amelia(in her mind): Why on the earth would he-
Jaxon: If you find these inconvenient then you can feel free to throw them.
*Jaxon is now moving towards the door*
Jaxon: Sorry for bothering you, hope these notes will be a little helpful for you.
*Jaxon disappeared and Amelia picked up the papers from the bench*
Amelia: All of these notes are very detailed with proper explanations.
*With Jaxon's help Amelia was able to complete her project while taking rest , she even managed to gain good marks. After that she would always notice Jaxon and it turns out that he is not what rumors described him to be. He is always willing to help people in need without asking for someone's help in return. She tried to clear the rumors but others refused to believe and claimed that she is being kind to someone who doesn't deserve kindness.*
Back to the present
Amelia(in her mind): He is just a boy who lacks communications and struggles to understand emotions.
Amelia(with a bright smile): Only a fool would hate someone like you!
*Jaxon has a little shocked expression*
Amelia: That said, what are you doing right now?
Jaxon: I have to buy all these items in the list given by mother.
Amelia: That' a really big list ! Are you guys renovating your house or something?
Jaxon: I have no idea either.
Amelia: I see…. Do you want me to help you with the shopping?
Jaxon: Only if you want to.
Amelia: Of course! I was just going to hang out with my friends after all however( a dead panned face) I am still an hour early .
Jaxon: Thank you
*Amelia gave him a smile and both of them started shopping together*
Jaxon: Is it alright if I ask you a question?
Amelia: Sure, why not?
Jaxon: What does it mean if a person is willing to help you out of a hellish situation even if that person does not gain any profit from the other?
Amelia: Isn't that an act of love for the person?
Jaxon: Even if that person is much older than me?
Amelia: It would mean that person loves you like their own son.
Jaxon: Even if I am not their biological son who is nothing but a burden?
Amelia(in her mind): Does he really think of himself like that?
Amelia: Do you really need to have a specific reason to love a person?
Jaxon: I can't answer that since love is a completely foreign subject for me.
Amelia: Is it now?
Jaxon: What do you mean?
Amelia: Aren't you asking all these questions because you care about that person?
