THE BLOOD BEGINNING

Chapter 2

"Dhruv! , are you ever going to give me a picture perfect smile? ", I was almost irritated , no matter how much I try he always gives those closed lips smile, how badly I want to see him smile.. A real smile that would reach his ears and would twinkle in his eyes..

" Jenna, I don't look good with those bright ones like you" , I was on the verge of exploding with fury.. " You look perfect.. Just once okay! "... He looked at me with those pretty little eyes of his which I won't get tired looking at. Looking at my pouted face he finally laughed, " Jenna, you look like a panda with that pout you know" ... I finally took the chance and clicked a beautiful picture with his colgate smile...

" Dhruv you should surely post this picture on Instagram, it's little different ".

" What about the caption ?, let me search for some ".. " No don't, why do U always have to put those big captions.. This time make it small and funny.. What say? "..

" Why don't you suggest me something ' Miss. Writer'. I thought for a second.... " Smile, Uspe tax nahi lagta"... How's this I asked, " Hmmm., you know I have got myself a good girlfriend.. " , " Oh really?.. 'Mr. Cheesy'.

" Don't break my nose again.... Hhahaa"

"Dhruv!!!!.... "

I woke up .

" A memory passing as a dream again..... It's 3:45 for Gods sake...wait....it was him again.

The nose breaking haa? "...

I was caught up in the moment again.. I knew I won't fall back to sleep.

It had been a while now, we had all settled down, the classroom chaos changed into serious lecture on upcoming changes in our study patterns. Today our 4 th grade life finally started, preparations for highschoool. Our class teacher Jacob sir introduced us to our history chapters and the time finally arrived for which I had been so excited about.

" J!, You will start writing with PEN today... Finally No PENCIL... I am a big girl from today.. "

My imagination world was struck with Krish nudgeing me to at least open my book as our teacher had been staring at my face since I was busy with my LaLa land.

"Why are you looking for trouble on Your first day... Jenny we are placed on first bench, you are making faces in front of Jacob sir.... ".

" I was just into thoughts dude.. Did I look weird? " I replied

"Get over your drama will you jenny? " , he whispered annoyed

"Oh please.. I.... Okay "..

I looked at my right , Dhruv was also looking at me with a stern face...

" What..? Why that look new guy!? "..

I asked with my usual unfriendly tone.

That little guy just pointed to my empty desk.. Both my partners were ready with books and PENs for class except me...

I just gave him a stare and hurriedly got my stuff ready...

" My first PEN....!!!! " My mind echoed..

As Jacob sir started lecturing we started taking notes.

" Carefully... Very neat J!.... Don't ruin your first page... Slowly.. ".... I was busy lecturing myself and suddenly something blew up my whole mind...

My face became a replica of a gloomy day and my mind burst with anger...

" Who the hell dared to ruin my first ever page written with PEN.... Who....?!!!!! "

It was Dhruv, he had mistakenly dodged my hand causing my hand holding the pen to cause a big mark on my first page...

" It was a mistake I just.... ", those cute little eyes tried to explain

Until I could realize , my hand had already hit his back very harshly and the poor thing who wasn't on his guard, blew straight forward and hit his head on the wooden desk...

When he lifted his head his cheeks were dark pink, his eyes full of tears and his nose BLEEDING red.

I felt guilty of what I had caused, but the deed was done.. His bright white shirt had stains of blood.

Immediately Jacob sir came to our desk.

" What is this, Jannat you did this? Why? ",he demanded.

" He pushed my hand and ruin my first page", I replied scared by his tone.

" Are you supposed to draw blood from him then, you should have reported it to me.. It was a mistake Miss. Mansoori"

Krish was equally shocked.. He whispered to me while sir was attending to Dhruv's bleeding nose..

" Go and apologize. "

" It's not my mistake he did it first" , I said in an angry tone..

" He is bleeding.. Jenny you never hurt people.. He is our desk partner"..he tried to put sense into me.

My guilty conscience finally gave in.. I never thought it would cause such a ruckus..

He had just returned from washing his face and nose .

" Sorry!... " I whispered to Dhruv..

" Yon can hit me too if U want, I won't complain ".

What happened next shocked and surprise me at the same.

" Its okay, .... I won't hit you.. ", the boy now with dried tears eyes and washed nose but still a red face said.

My class teacher gave me a stern angry look , " This should not be repeated Miss. Mansoori ".

I just nodded my head not meeting his eyes.

With that we started with lecture again.

" He forgave me... But I did hurt him.. Unintentionally.!. But isn't he angry on me.. Why did he not hit me.? "My mind was in a complete confusion trying to reason with what had happened.

After class I finally put my ego side and spoke to him.

" Are you really okay Dhruv!? , your Mom will scold for the stains"

" Hmmm.... But it's okay..." , He said now with a little smile..

"Is he serious.. I would have never left anyone if something like this would have happened to me.. Is he even sane!.... But J is he forgiving you, isn't he?..... Nobody had ever been so nice to me... ".

" Friends? ", I asked

" Okay.. Friends, just don't hit me again! " .. He sheepishly said

" I don't hit my friends idiot", Where were I going to get such a tolerant friend in my life later... Were I? , we laughed... finally.

Only if I had known...what I was going to face later..

Only if I had known memories hurt so much....

Only if I had known....... He will be the best and worst of me.
