The bell rang, Clara went into her class with relief. The teacher came into the class, she was surprised by seeing Anvesh and happy at the same time". Clara went and sat in her place. The teacher said, " Anvesh go and sit beside Clara, it is the only place left out". Anvesh first gave a harsh look. The whole class started murmuring that he wouldn't sit with her. He would neither sit with a girl nor with a boy. But this time it was different, he just picked up his bag and sat beside Clara. Everyone was shocked including Clara and the teacher. Their bend was to the wall. They had a small table attached to the bench to the right side of the bench, where they can put stationery and bottles. Clara sat to the right side of a

bench and Anvesh to the left. Anvesh occupied more place to sit while Clara just sat like a rock. Anvesh was sleeping on the bench facing Clara. She was staring at him. Then suddenly she remembered the phone. She said " here take your phone," Anvesh said, " I don't need it, I will buy a new one" he didn't even see her. Clara said " ok fine, I'll put it on the desk, take it if you want or just leave it, give me back my phone." Anvesh said " ok, it's in my pocket, take it" She gave a confused look. She said, " are you telling me to take it from your pocket, I'm not kidding, I'll just take it". He said, "I'm not kidding either, it's in my jacket pocket, take it if you want". Clara however, wanted her phone, so she just put her hand in his pocket. When he felt her hand in his pocket, he immediately got up. But Clara pulled him to get her phone, he lost his balance and took his grip by placing one hand on his bench and the other on the behind them.

They looked into each other's eyes without blinking. Clara's one hand in his pocket and the other on the bench. Anvesh hand on Clara's hand. He could hear her breathing. After about a minute, Clara took her phone, pushed him and ran away. After some time she came back and found Anvesh sleeping on the bench. She didn't understand what to do. She stood there for some time, then she thought to go and sit somewhere else. Suddenly, someone caught her hand from behind while she was going. When she turned back and surprised to see Anvesh holding her hand. He said " come inside" and moved aside. Clara went in and sat in her place. Anvesh looked at her and said " wake me up next time" Clara was confused. He looked at her and said " if I sleep, wake me up next time, don't go and sit somewhere else. The bell rang everyone was going to the dorm. When Clara was going out, Anvesh called called "Clara". Entire class fell silent, everyone was like statues in their own places, looking at them.
