Unexpected birthday treats are the best, agree?

If I have not told then I am telling that my mode of convenience to school is school bus, the best thing of all. As there are a lot of people in school bus and thankfully Manik isn't there to crib, I have become friends with a few seniors. One of them is Shashwat, who studies in grade 8th. He has invited me and a few bus-mates for his birthday treat in school canteen in interval. Our school canteen has a lot of tasty things but I have never tried brownies, so I'll try that!

In the interval, like daily, I got up, washed me hands and came back to my seat to have lunch when suddenly I spot Shashwat bhaiyya peeping from window. When I saw him, he indicated me to come out because that treat thing actually went out of my mind. Telling Alya about the treat, I go out of the class leaving my lunch.

I go towards the canteen downstairs and find all the bus-mates already present. Handing Shashwat bhaiyya a small paper which said happy birthday, I smiled.

I am not that thankless okay! I made a small card before coming down, feeling real proud of my art skills suddenly.

As said, I was having a brownie and Shashwat bhaiyya handed me a Frootie and a chocolate when his friend came and joined us. Turning towards me he says, "Hi, I am Shikhar" and I pass a smile saying telling my name. Getting into normal talks, I suddenly find Shikhar bhaiyya standing next to me on the left. Ignoring that, I was about to leave when my right shoulder felt heavy and on turning my head I find Shikhar bhaiyya's hand on right shoulder. I politely remove his hand from my shoulder and he seems to be embarrassed seeing me uncomfortable.

"I am sorry, I didn't mean to..." Shikhar bhaiyya speaks apologetically.

"It's okay, thank you for the treat" I say to Shashwat bhaiyya and leave from there as fast as I could, without running.

When I was about to climb up the staircase, I hear Shashwat bhaiyya calling me.

"Nandini!"

"Yes?"

"Shikhar didn't mean to do that. It's his habit. Please don't mind. His intention was not to make you uncomfortable. I am sorry..." He says guilty.

"It's okay. You don't have to say sorry." I pass him a small smile assuring and move upwards just to find

Manik.

Fuming.

He has seen everything.

A/N: I am really sorry for the short update. I was expected to update yesterday but I wasn't in a phase to write. 

Just for you people to know and I have always told to everyone I know, whenever you feel like talking ANYTHING, it could be a lamest joke too, just drop it here in my message box or on my IG. Nobody has the right to judge you, okay? Maybe because of it, we might turn into great friends? ;D

Do vote and comment and wait for the next update maybe soon to witness...

Monster Manik.

I know and I am sorry that I had to put it in another chapter but sometimes cliffhangers are necessary, isn't? :P
