"Another notification?"
.
It was from Allen.
.
MOM - Doll, Come down for a second please.
.
ME - Yes mom, I'm coming.
.
She kept her phone on the table and rushed down. Her mom asked her to help her with the dishes. Once after she was finished, she went back to her room to see what the message was. She was really excited to know what it was.
.
I quickly entered my room and shut the door. I rushed towards the table and grabbed the phone.

It showed....

"Hey Doll, Can we meet tomorrow after the college, in the library?"
.
I replied "Okay, sure"
.
I was really excited to meet him. I quickly crawled over my bed to sleep. I couldn't wait for the time to pass.

MORNING
.
I hugged my mom and left the house to the college. I was really happy that I am going to continue my studies again, which I thought was impossible. Even after all that happen, I am really thankful that Allen forgave us.
.
I reached the college and I didn't know why, something stopped me. I couldn't enter the gate.
The smile on my face quickly disappeared. My legs started shaking. I couldn't hear people talking to me. I suddenly gave up.
.
I turned back to leave and
.
LIA - Doll! Were you searching for me?
.
ME - Umm... yes
.
LIA - What happened Doll? Is everything fine?
.
ME - Yes yes.. Let's go.
.
.
I entered the college with Lia. We were talking about classes and notes. I found many eyes on me. That made me more embarrassing, I was hesitating myself from entering the classroom. But I was forced by Lia.
.
As soon as I entered the classroom, people came closer to me and spoke really well, I was really surprised. Even the ones whom I don't talk to also spoke to me. That literally reduced my stress, I was worried on how they would treat me.
I didn't find Allen there. I sat on my chair with loads of impatience.
.
The bell rang and it was time for the teacher to start the class. Allen was still not here.
.
TEACHER - Welcome back Doll, I hope you concentrate more on your studies and collect the incomplete notes from Lia.
.
ME - Yes! sure mam, I will. Thankyou.
.
TEACHER - So now let me take your attendance. Roll Number on...e
.
ALLEN - Mam! Sorry, I am really sorry. May I come in, please.
.
TEACHER - Yes.
.
He walked towards me and sat beside me. I didn't know why my heart was pounding hard. I wasn't able to concentrate. I tilted my head slowly towards my right to see what Allen was doing. I turned and had an eye contact with him. Oh my fluttering heart. I quickly turned my head.
.
ALLEN - Good morning Doll. (poke poke)
.
TEACHER - Roll Number 17? Doll??
.
ME - Yes! Present mam. I am sorry. (bending me head)
.
Oh my god, He is literally effecting my senses.
.
"Doll control your emotions" I wispered to myself.
.
Whenever I took a glance at him, he went on staring at me. I was getting more embarrassed and shy at his looks. I have never seen him like this before. I was also getting nervous thinking about our meet after college.
.

.
AFTER THE COLLEGE.
.
ALLEN - Finally! Okay Doll, I will be at the library waiting for you, come fast.
.
I nodded and grabbed my bag and rushed towards the ladies washroom. I quickly changed my clothes, wore a light makeup. I took a deep breath and
.
A. GIRL - Aahh! This s**t again.
.
ME - Are you talking to me?
.
B. GIRL - Yes and don't show us your attitude. We treated you well because Allen and the principal asked us to.
.
ME - What? Allen asked you too? Well, I never asked you too.
.
A. GIRL - Ah, hear this carefully. We just wanted to tell you that, we don't want any friendship from you. And so maintain a stranger's relationship with us like before.
.
B. GIRL - Understood? We don't want to mingle up with you.
.
ME - That's okay. I'm not interested in people like you. So can I? (I just came out of the restroom)
.
These silly girls huh, when they spoke to me I was just a little nice to them and look how the treat me later. Anyways I wonder, did he really do that. I am really happy that I'm finally gonna talk to him like before.

AT THE LIBRARY.
.
He was sitting there in the corner turning the pages of a random book. She quickly rushed towards him and sat on the chair infront of him. When she was about to ask him something, he cut her off by placing something on the table. Her eyes widened and she stood up quickly to leave the library.
