“Bro! She is so sexy today and I can’t control myself now.” 

He started stepping forward but Aaron caught his hand. 

“What the hell, Jack?” 

Jack turned away from her and started controlling himself. He walked to his classmates with whom Kathleen was talking. As soon as he went there, most of the girls started drooling over him. He pretended talking to them but his gaze was only on Kathleen. 

**************

Kathleen strolled away and sat on the chair. Nina too joined her and they kept talking. Nina noticed Jack's gaze on Kathleen. 

“While most of the girls were gazing at Jack, he kept his gaze on you.” Nina laughed. 

“He will never understand that it’s a waste of time.” 

“Exactly. Poor guy!”

Jack’s friend strolled to him and handed him a paper. He asked him to note down the sequence of music they’ve to play tonight for DJ. While his friend was telling, Jack kept writing. 

Nina saw Jack writing and she told Kathleen “Kat! Jack is writing something.” 

“So what should I do?” 

“We thought to check his hand writing. Forgot it?” 

“I told you it’s not him. I can feel it, Nina.” 

“Come on Kat! Let’s check it once. What if he is the one?” 

“I wish it’s not him.” 

Nina convinced her and finally Kat accepted to check it. She silently prayed to not match his writing with the stranger’s writing. 

Jack strolled with his friend and they entered into a dance practice room. Nina and Kat kept following them from a distance. Jack put the paper on the table and kept talking. 

“Kat! We should get atleast a snap of the paper.” 

They both stood outside of the room hidden behind a wall. Few minutes later, Jack and his friend walked out of the room. Nina noticed no paper in his hand. 

“Kat! There is no paper in his hand. The paper might be in the room.” 

“Or it might be in his pocket.” 

“They went out. Let’s check it inside.” 

They went in and saw no one there. There were chairs, tables, music system and many things scattered on the floor. They both started searching for the paper. Finally Kat found it on the table. 

“Here it is.” Kat shouted. Nina strolled to her and took a picture of it. 

“Wait! How could we know it’s the paper Jack wrote?” Kat said. 

“Talking about me?” 

A sudden voice of Jack made them flinch. They turned back and saw Jack along with his friends there. Kathleen looked at him in utter shock and gulped looking at him. 

Jack stepped towards her and took the paper from her hand. 

“What are you doing with this paper? Collecting the things of mine. Old school!” he laughed. 

Kathleen and Nina kept silent. 

He continued stepping towards Kathleen whilst Kathleen stepped back. Nina tried to go between them but she was caught by Aaron. Kathleen’s back hit a table and stopped stepping. Jack put hands either side of her and said “You love me. But you are not letting your feelings out.” 

His alcoholic breath made Kathleen to feel disgusting. 

“I don’t love you. I just wanted to see your handwriting.” 

“Don’t lie.” He said and started stroking her lips with his thumb. He leaned in and tried to kiss her but his attempt went in vain when Kathleen pushed him and slapped his cheek so hard. At the same time, their classmates along with a dance troupe entered in. 

Nina smiled looking at Kathleen and Aaron released Nina looking at Kathleen with shocked face. 

Jack put his hand on his cheek and became furious. He looked around and saw his classmates. He felt so embarrassed and clenched his fist. His eye contact became intense and his brow furrowed in anger. 

Kathleen pointed her finger at Jack and said “I will never love a guy like you.” 

Kathleen and Nina strolled away frustratingly. They got irritated and without even enjoying they went to their house again. 

Kathleen was so irritated and she threw her mobile on the couch angrily. 

“How dare he? How can he think I would ever love him?” Kathleen shouted. 

“Sorry Kat. I shouldn’t have told to take that paper.” Nina said with apologetic tone.

“Come on Nina! It’s not your fault. Leave it.” 

They both changed their clothes into Pj’s and lay on the bed. 

“We returned before DJ.” Nina said with disappointment. 

“So DJ is the thing you concerned now.” Kathleen hit her. 

“Ouch! I will ask you something and you shouldn’t get angry.” Nina said. 

“Tell me.” 

“We have Jack's writing. Let’s check it.” 

Kathleen threw a pillow at her and started hitting her. 

“We saw it, right? It’s not him.” Kathleen shouted.

“Come on! Let’s clear the doubt by looking at both the writings at a time.” 

Kathleen sighed and they took the letter. Kathleen prayed to not match those writings. Finally they got their answer. It’s not Jack who wrote the letters. 

Kathleen put her hand on her chest and relaxed. “Thank God!” 

“See the doubt is cleared. Now you are relieved.” Nina said. 

Kathleen nodded to her and then they again lay on the bed. After an hour of talking about various things, they shut their eyes and slept.
