HER

Leo kept running as fast as he could because he didn't want to miss his morning class. He stopped suddenly, making John (who's behind) get hit by his back. With pain and anger, he asked,

"Damn Leo! Why did you stop all of a sudden? Mann, argh... my nose!" John whimpered.

He observed that Leo was standing in place, his eyes fixated as he saw something he shouldn't.

John walked a few steps forward to see what made his friend stop. "Oh! Hi Lisa, you were late too. usually aren't you the first to class always? What made you hold back?"

Lisa turned to John, and she answered with a fake smile. John was taken back, as he already knew that's the smile he always gets when Lisa is embarrassed or unable to answer.

John kept his arms on Leo, making him come back to his senses. He gestured at his friend, and they started walking to their class.

John couldn't stand the silence between them, so he walked fast to his classroom, leaving the other two.

( Lisa , is same class as Leo who is a class monitor, she has rose skin, pretty eyes which always shine bright and kind but rude at times .)

Maybe the reason Leo doesn't want to miss his morning class is HER, she's the only girl he has a good impression. But he never tried making chit chats.....

" Leo !"....Lisa called .

"Y...ye..yes . What's it Lisa ?" Leo stuttered.

"Are you Okay with the group project that we have to do or you wanna change your team mate?"

Leo was he too stunned to speak ..he forgot that he has his last thesis to submit that too as a group

"Umm ...I just forgot about that , and yeah I don't want to change group it's okay we can work it out together tell me your free time .." Leo said as he's excited about Lisa initiating their conversation.

"Okay ...then , we will meet at library every day after class from tomorrow, bye. " Lisa told and left the place.

~ IN THE DORM ~

" Nina , you don't have to worry , it will be alright , you have already won the 1 and 2nd rounds , just cheer up and give your all at the last one too " John's soothing Nina's on a phone call

" but I'm at 5 in the top 5. Do you think I can make it ?" Although Nina's tough, she is worried most about her competitions.

"At least you are in the top 5 ! Just give your best and don't give up now." John's trying to console her, but he's as worried as Nina.

"Okay ! I'll try ..see ya ..we will catch up after things settle." Nina said.

Yeah .bye , take care sissy ...John ended his call and saw the person in front of him behaving strangely.

"You Okay bro !!" John asked with confusion, seeing Leo happier than usual and excited .

"Yes, I'm!" Leo said with a broad smile .

" Ohh ! What made my chipmunk whipped ? John asked while patting Leo's head softly.

"You sweetheart😏 ..." Leo told as he stood up and leaned close to john. John lost his words.

" LEO !!! 😳......Argh dude... can u stop joking around and tell me what made this handsome to melt just like butter cream? "Leo adjusted his posture and told John.

"Well ....Lisa.....asked me out. "

John was in shock ...He was curious about the news, "did she confessed !!!! I didn't think she was that type..broo u got some luck, let's...."Leo closed John's mouth and told him to listen completely.

"It's like we are having a group project for the last semester and she is my team mate, so we decided to hangout at the library till the submission of our work.

John's smile had disappeared, his expression went from excitement to dull but he continued...." chipmunk ! You finally have a chance to know her so take your time and ask her for a date . "

" Humph"....Leo nodded.

He changed the topic, to Nina and asked John about planning a leave for school for the final competition so that they could cheer for their sis at her college .

The night was spent like usual with studies and some fun games .
