"You!!!" Both the girls wanted to rebel but they received a meaningful glare from Alex too. He was if giving them a warning about not to face Anna's wrath otherwise no one is going to save them. He was on Anna's side, not theirs. Just talking to both of them doesn't change the fact that he will leave Anna's side!
"W-we are g-going." they both said but they didn't even move an inch from their place. Still, both girls were persistent and waited for Alex to defend them too but Alex never even said a word on their behalf.
"SCRAM!" this time, Anna shouted and they both were so scared that they actually ran out of the class instead of going to their desks.
"You scared them," Alex said from her behind. He was happy to see her defending him and fighting for him. He knew that with time, their relationship has progressed from 'being friends' and this was what he also wants.
Anna gave him glare at first. Then instead of getting angry at him, she threw herself on Alex which made Alex step back a little and was going to lose his balance. But he held desk behind them which made both of them not to fall.
"Anna!? What happened to you?" He was surprised by her sudden attack of cuteness and childishness.
"Why? Can't I be a good person too? I want to be cute like others." She asked softly. Yes! She wants to act like other girls, not being brave but a little timid. She wants Alex to dote on her. Sometimes being cute instead of being brave is good. It helps to receive more love from your loved ones!
Alex rubbed her hair and pulled the strip of hair which was falling on her face, back near her ear. "You can do anything you want. I'm there to support you."
"Really?" She asked for confirmation.
"Yes. Really!"
"Okay! I have something to show you. I mean someone is there whom I would like you to meet. So, after school, we are going to my house along with Alena and Reyan. Okay?"
Alex was not sure if it would be okay to go with her or not. But he has to save her and the safest place is her house so he can't decline. Seeing so much brightness in her eyes, Alex agreed and went to his class. Anna looked at his back and smiled.
But he again missed that look in Anna's eyes.
....
The classes were over in the afternoon. The teacher announced that final Exams were going to be held soon. In 2 months. Everyone was tensed because they would have to study hard but Anna was thinking about something else.
She was unhappy, not because of the approaching of exams or she found them hard. But because of thinking, if her exams are coming then Alex's exams will also be there? Will he leave school and her after the final exams?! They won't be able to meet then. Thinking this only, she walked towards the gate where Alena, Reyan, and Alex were waiting for her.
Seeing her mind somewhere else, Alena asked first. "Anna, you okay? Why do I feel you have something in your mind in which you are thinking deep?" Alena can read Anna's expression just in a minute.
"What!? Yes! I mean.... no. Nothing for you guys to worry."Anna assured them but her eyes were lingering at Alex's face. Alex too noticed her gaze on him but thought of asking it afterward as it might become awkward for her to answer among everyone.
"Anna, you wanted to show something to us. Now tell. Whom are we meeting?" Reyan asked curiously.
"Oh. Let us go to my home." She didn't want to break the suspense right now.
"Okay, Alex is going to take you in his car and Reyan is going to take me. Okay, Reyan?" Alena asked cheerfully. She wanted to give Alex and Anna some time together so she decided. But unknown to her, Reyan had a slight blushed after hearing what she had said.
"Yeah. Good with me. Let us go."
Anna sat inside Alex's car. Alex drove the car and played a light music song. But they didn't talk halfway to her home.
"Alex, have you decided what you are going to do after completing high school?" Anna suddenly asked.
Alex didn't know how to answer this. If he wants, he can go on and control his base. Or he can go to the army too because of his grandfather. If he wishes, he can study at a top university. But he never decided this.
"I don't know." He honestly answered.
"I don't know? Why you don't know? You are one year older than me. You should know!! Your exams are coming too!" Anna was shocked to see his careless nature.
"You are telling me. Have you decided what do you want to do?" Alex reverted her question to herself.
"I..." Anna never thought about the future. She was doing high school, which was itself a very good thing if considered. They are at least letting her do this.
"What happened?" Alex asked her again with hiz sweet voice. He noticed that she was in deep thoughts when he had reverted the question
"I never thought about this." She honestly answered too. The more she expected from her life, the least she gets is what she has experienced.
