Nandini's POV
I was numb when I bumped into him. I was about to fall but he held me protectively around my waist. We had an eyelock. Soon the bell rang. I was out of my dreamland. I noticed that my books were scattered on the ground, so I went and picked them one by one. He also bent down and started to pick my books. I guess he wanted to help. He handed over my books so decently.
Manik: These are your books.
Nandini: Thank you I said with hesitation.
I just wanted to leave. I literally snatched those books and walked away fastly leaving confused manik behind.

Manik's POV
I entered to the college with a huge grand welcome by my mom, staff and students. They were doing all kinds of entertainment to welcome FAB5. While people were doing all those things I lifted my head up. There I saw a girl looking at us with tearful eyes and smiling. Wow those eyes had something that I cannot give any conclusion. Was it for me? No why will she cry for me. I didn't even meet her. I have to find out. I chucked it and got myself involved in the event. But those eyes wouldn't get out of my head. Soon the programme was over. My mom kissed my forehead and told me to take care. Oh god mom! Why does she cry when I get older? Yesterday she was telling me an emotional speech about my habits and my doings when I was a kid. I just hugged her and kissed her hair and went to my class. The same girl was engrossed in studiying history. I can easily say that she was pretending.
A guy went to her and called her all useless things like allergy girl and algae. For the first time I noticed her hands. I felt bad for her. I felt like punching that guy very badly. How could he tease a person who is suffering from something? If she is having allergies on her skin then they are having allergies in their heads. Sick people I think I should tell mom about this. Poor soul I guess she is hurt. I know she is trying to control her tears. I really wanted to go and console her. As I was thinking that a girl came and hugged me. I was taken aback by the sudden hug but did not hug her back.

Soha: Hi manik my name is Soha. Soha kurana.

With that she went to that girl and told her loudly. A girl should have a nice body to be close to me and went near her ear and to something that she shut her eyes tightly and tear drop fell on her text book. Everyone started to laugh out loud she clutched her bench so tightly. Thats when I noticed that everyone kept her away as she was sitting in corner. I genuinely felt very bad and gave fab5 a helpless look. I guess they were equally feeling bad for her. I had fab5 when ever I felt alone and to talk to but her, she does not have anyone. Poor little girl. Soon the history teacher came and began with her lecture. I was observing that girl. She was fully engrossed in the lecture. She looked cute while trying to understand the lesson. Awww. But I chucked it. I was glancing at her every 5 min. Then as soon as the lecture got over she left the class in a jiffy. I started to talk to fab5.

Manik: what is all this. Teasing a girl who is suffering.
Alya: I felt like crying while looking at her. Poor little thing.
Mukthi: And that Soha I felt like slapping her really bad that next time she won't even comment on peoples physical appearance.
Cabir: We are there na. We will handle the situation in our style.
Dhruv: And if any come and say anything we will give them something that they will never forget.
Manik: Group hug!! Everyone literally jumped on him.
Thankyou guys.
Fab4: whats happening manik and cringed their eyebrows.
Manik: Nothing. I will just go and talk to mom and come. With that I left to find that girl.
I searched for her in the whole college and lastly the liberary. She was busy staring at her mobile and smiling. Wow her smile was so beautiful. As if god just sculptured her smile and took extra efforts. I kept staring at her. Then she got up to leave. While she was coming out she bumped into me and I held her waist to prevent her from falling. All the books fell down. We had a cute eyelock. Then the idiotic bell disturbed our eyelock. She started to pick her books. I helped her by picking up the books. I gave her the books.
Manik: These are your books.
Nandini : Thankyou she told hesitantly and literally snatched the books aways and walked fastly. Leaving me confused. Why is she running away from me. May be she is scared of me too. Probably she thought that I am going to hurt her. Why will I hurt her? Manik make her trust you that you are no harm to her. I will be extra nice to her. And always support her that she will start talking to me without any fear. I smiled to myself.

Fewww guys. Long update. Comments pls
