First encounter

It was serene in the morning... the sky was clear. I was on my way to my college.

Then suddenly I saw some thugs alongside the road

I took a closer look at them …

They were beating up a boy in uniform.

" Ahh… People these days 😬 …should I go and help him?? "🤔

"It's none of my business 😒 besides if I get caught then that's it ....mom's gonna kill me for getting into fight".

"Pls pls let me go ... I don't have any more money.... that's all I have" the boy's voice my piercing my ears

Then one of the thugs started stripping him...

" You don't have money ha???"...then he gave the boy a hard slap on his face.

Don't look... don't look... I kept reminding myself...

Ahh …whatever I can't 😑

" Hey ! Guys what's going on... can't you let the boy go alone... he said he doesn't have any more money"

"Mind your own business boy" one of the thugs said.

"I was ... but then you know I couldn't stop myself from coming...".

"Oho... so you think you are a hero trying to save this boy ha… What a scene "

"Guys look this boy also needs some treatment from us, I think ... trying to act smart" said another one of them.

" Look guys ... I am on my way to my college and don't wanna fight with you guys…"

"I have called the cops they will be here in any minute ...so rest assured if you don't want to be in jail, let that boy go alone"

They seemed to murmur something and the gang leader came up to me ...

"Look boy... don't think it's over. WE WILL COME BACK FOR YOU 😠 ... and at that time you won't have your so-called cops along with you to help".

And then they left....

I went up to the boy... he was lying down ,his shirt torn, crying , dirt all over the face and body .

"Hey... get up "

The boy looked up and stared at me

What are you looking at ?? 🤨 get up .. Or else you are going to be late…

He got up and said " THANKS " 🥺

"Whatever.... here take these .you can't go to the college looking like that "I said handing over my hoodie...

" I think I have an extra uniform in my locker. When we reach there I will give it to you"

"So what's your name ... I think I haven't seen you in the college "

"My name's Reggie. And I'm a freshman. I got transferred here 2 days ago..." he said straightening his eyeglasses

"So you are my junior .... Nice to meet you junior. My name's shine". I said

I don't know if I felt it or what, but the boy gave side glances at me on our way to the college.

How do I describe him?? Hmm mm... He was small , not too short, handsome should I say?? No....no... May be cute … Ya cute…

Big eyes, small nose, attractive lips…

wait wait I shouldn't be thinking about him.....
