Episode 4

Jane had left the hospital after taking the elevator. She was running towards the bus stop until she realized she needed to go to the other side bus stop because the bus which will go towards her school side will arrive there. She checks the traffic lights and quickly crosses the road and reaches the bus stop at the other side.

A little girl in school uniform around 10 to 12 years is crossing the road slowly, but unfortunately the light has turned green, all cars are waiting, but then a car came at a very high speed and passed by that little girl making a screeching sound and vanished, she lost her balance and fell on the road.

The lady standing at the window of the hospital saw that and shouted "That little girl, is she okay? Looks like she's a student" Ryan quickly walked towards the window and saw the scene. Jane ran towards the little girl and helped her in getting up. Jacob also saw Jane and they both used stairs to reach them. They saw the little girl was sitting on the bench at the bus stop and Jane was cleaning her knees with her handkerchief.

Ryan ran towards them, Jacob followed him He knelt down in front of that little girl and in a very soft and worried tone he said "Grace, are you okay?" the voice and kneeling down made Jane startled and when she saw the guy's face she was more startled, and thought "the bully guy" but she couldn't remember his name, so she said "hey bully guy, uhm, I mean is she your sister?" while scratching the back of her neck as she was nervous because forgetting your enemy's name is a bit harsh.

Well Jane is bad at remembering names and only those who are close to her know that. She doesn't even know her classmates'names except the close ones who are her friends, and sometimes she even forgets her teacher's name, so she prefers calling everyone by just one word "Teacher".

Ryan looked at her in disbelief and said "Seriously, don't tell me you don't even remember my name even though we are in the same class?" Jane said trying to change the topic "well it's not that important right now, check on her if she has any injury". Ryan shook his head and shifted his attention towards Grace looking for any injury, luckily no injuries but a scratch on her right knee.

Jacob was standing beside them and saw the interaction between Jane and Ryan, realizing they are in the same class, he asked Jane "Jane are you alright?" Jane nodded and pulled out a cute bandage from her backpack and gave it to Grace saying in a gentle voice "Here it'll heal your scratch". Grace took it while nodding Jacob smiled and patted Grace's head and said "come with me, I'll clean your wound and put it on".

Ryan picks up Grace in his arms turn and is about to walk away, but Grace tapped on his shoulder indicating him to stop, he turned towards Jane. Grace used sign language and said thank you. Jane didn't understand, Ryan said "Grace can't speak, and she said thank you" Jane nodded with a sad reaction but quickly changed it and said with a smile "Mention not". Grace gestured for her to come closer with her hands and lightly kissed her cheek. Jane smiled and said "You are such a sweet little angel" After this they bid each other bye.

For the first Ryan had seen Grace interacting with someone else with such convenience.

Jane looks at her watch realizing she can't make it to the school on time, Jacob also suggests Jane that he can drop her, but she doesn't want to trouble him because it's a very complicated route, so she simply took the bus towards her school.

She finally arrived in front of her classroom. Miss Rosie was taking the class she noticed Jane and asked her "Jane why are you this late?". For Jane coming late is a very rare thing and right now Jane can't tell her the reason as Miss Rosie will inform her mother and she doesn't want her mother to know about this, so she replied "I'm really sorry teacher something urgent came up this won't happen again"

Miss Rosie nod and told her to come in. Jane entered the classroom and was stunned because she saw Ryan sitting in his seat and thought "How can this bully guy have reached here before me?" Ace noticed Jane's gaze and turned her head back just to see Ryan with a book in his hand. Miss Rosie said "Jane be quick and take your seat". Jane hurriedly walked towards her seat besides Ace, as she sat and Miss Rosie started with her topic Ryan whispers from back "Well it's Ryan , don't forget".

Miss Rosie was teaching them Math and Jane was trying to focus, but she was distracted because of Ryan and also she couldn't figure out how he reached here so fast as she doesn't even see him wearing a uniform when she saw him before, how can he reach before her? This question was roaming in her head when Ace noticed her distress and tapped her shoulder saying "Jane are you okay?" Jane shook her head "I'm not".

After three classes finally the bell rang indicating its recess time. Everyone went towards the cafeteria to have their lunch except Jane and Ace. They told their friends to go forward, they'll come soon. Now no one is in the classroom and Jane told Ace the whole story.

Ace said with excitement "So now you are a pet parent of a cat named Blaze!!!" Jane nodded and said "But the main point is "what was that Ryan doing there, and how did he reach here before me?" Ace said while thinking "Hmm maybe he followed you and maybe he is stalking you" Jane said with a done face hitting her shoulder "oh Com'on Ace don't start with your stalking stories again" Ace laughed and said "Sorry, sorry, well this only has one logic his home might be nearby" Jane nod her head and again asked "Then what about him reaching here before me?" Ace said in a nonchalant way "Jane, don't you know he came to school by a super bike"

Jane was dumbfounded because she never expected this she only thinks he's a bully but, Now she knows that he's breaking laws too as they're only 17 now, and he's riding a bike to come school, and she starts imagining him riding the bike to enter the school, but her imagination got interrupted by Ace's calling her "Jane, don't get lost in your thoughts and let's go to have lunch"

As they both enter the cafeteria an empty Juice steel can come flying towards Jane and hit her forehead *Thump*
