[At University]
Lunette: ( In her mind) Yesterday I had so much fun with Professor Leo. Something felt so different. Maybe I started to like him.
Irida: Lunette! So, how was your tutoring? Did Professor Leo annoyed you with a lot of studies?
Lunette: Irida! How can you say that? He is our Professor, not only is he well educated but also a really good person. You should respect him. Next time I don't want to hear anything bad about him. Let's go we are getting late for the class.
Irida: (In her mind) What happened to her? Is she hit her head with something?
[The Lecture starts.]
Leo: Today I'm going to take a surprise test. Are you all ready?
Irida: What? Ohh No! I'm going to fail. Lunette what should I do? If he had told us earlier I must have prepared.
Alex: Lunette we all are doomed except you. pls help us.
Lunette: Ok Ok! I will write my answers without hiding and will intentionally extend my sheet towards you both so you both can cheat. But next time I will not help you. You both have to score well on your own.
Alex and Irida: Promise!
[The test starts, Lunette is helping Irida and Alex. Leo is constantly staring at Lunette]
Leo: ( In his mind) You my naughty girl, helping Alex in front of me. Are you not scared of my jealousy?
(Lunette sees Leo staring at her with intense possessive gaze but she is unaware of the reason. She thinks he is staring at her because she is helping them to cheat.)
Lunette: Guys! I can't help you more. Professor Leo is staring at me like he's gonna eat me.
Irida: Ohhh Lunette pls don't do that. You can't betray us.
Alex: Lunette! It's ok Focus on your paper, we have done enough to pass.
Lunette: Hummm!
[The Test ends. Leo is collecting all the sheets and then he reach at Lunette desk to collect her sheet but in the amidst of the moment when Lunette reach out to hand over the sheet, he touches Lunette hand softly and pull it along with the sheet and gives her a jealous stare with no emotions on the face.]
Lunette: What was that? Maybe that was just an accident when taking the sheets.
Leo: You all can leave.
Irida and Alex: Thank you so much Lunette! You are our savior.
Lunette: Stop that butter talks. Next time I won't help you both.
(While Irida and Lunette are talking, Alex was going to pat Lunette's head when suddenly Leo in anger clenched his fist and shouts.)
Leo: This is not a cafe for your gossip. Are you all not leaving?
The Three in Union: Yes Professor!
[Everyone leaves the class and goes to the ground for sports training.]
Leo: This dumb boy Alex! How dare he get close to her? I have not patted once and he was going to do it in front of my eyes. I think now I need to teach him some lessons.
[At Ground]
Irida: It's time for the fast running, Are you ready?
Lunette: Yes somewhat!
Alex: Let's go!
Lunette: (In her mind) I can't run fast or for a long period of time due to...
(The whistle blows.)
[Lunette tried to run fast but after 20 minutes she started to feel dizzy and out of breath. Everyone leaves because they are done with their running except Lunette.]
Irida: Lunette! Are you ok!
Lunette: I'm ok Irida! You and Alex go and wait for me in the canteen I'll be there in a few minutes.
Irida and Alex: No we will wait for you.
Lunette: Just go! And one more thing, can you please take my assignments from Professor Leo? I will be really thankful.
Irida and Alex: Ok!
(Irida and Alex go to Leo)
Irida: Professor we are here to take the assignment on behalf of Lunette.
Leo: Why? Is she not available?
Irida: Actually Professor she is still running and completing her task of sports training.
Alex: Irida I'm going to see Lunette if she is okay or not.
Leo: Wait Alex! Today you cheated in the test and I have already told that how much I hate deceitfulness. So your punishment is writing the poetry I have taught today for about 100th times and show me that till evening until then you are not allowed to move your useless legs to wander. Understand?
Alex: But how can you....
Leo: (Shouts) Don't you dare to argue with me other wise the consequences for you will not be great. Understand? You better Understand!
Irida: Alex just does what the Professor is saying.
Alex:(Disappointed) Ok!
Leo: Irida the assignment is in my cabin, you can take it after the break.
Irida:(nervously) Ok Professor!
[Lunette is dizzy but still continues to run until some girl bullies come to Lunette as they get to know that Professor Leo tutor her. Every girl has a crush on Leo and out of jealousy they hate Lunette.]
1st Bully: (meanly) Ohhhh see! How hardworking is our Lunette. She must be thinking to seduce Leo isn't?
Lunette: How dare you? I'm not like you all.
2nd Bully: ohh really! Then why do you always go to a cafe with Professor Leo?
Lunette: I'm not obliged to tell you.
3rd Bully: You want to seduce Professor Leo and score good marks right? Lunette, I haven't seen such a poor, weak, burden, useless and seductive, girl like you.
Lunette: I'm not a bonehead like you all. I don't need any external help to be successful but you all sucks. You girls are not only empty from the brain but also from the heart.
All Bullies in union: You! Let's teach her a lesson. So, next time she doesn't dare to offend us.
(The bullies push Lunette from behind while she was running and she fell so hard on the ground that her knee started to bleed.)
Lunette: (Cries in pain) Ahhh! Its hurting. Ohh! This blood..... I hate blood. stop this!
Bullies: Lunette! if you dare to be close to Professor Leo again we will make your life worse than hell. You hate blood right? I will make you drink it, so step back from Professor Leo.
(The Bullies left the scene. Lunette is in pain. She panics and cries as she hates blood. Far away from the ground Leo sees Lunette in this condition and gets panic and rush to Lunette.)
Leo: Lunette! What happened to you? Are you ok?
Lunette: I'm...I'm Ok! just go! I don't want to see you, pls go.
Leo: Are you..? Listen you don't want to see me fine but until I help you with this, I'm not leaving, I refuse to leave.
Lunette: (cries) Stop the blood Leo pls I... I... I hate blood.
[Leo carried her in his arms and headed towards the Aid room. Lunette is grabbing Leo by his neck and pinching it out of pain due to which Leo's neck becomes reddish and has nail marks. Leo eyes are only on the way to the aid room while Lunette with her dizzy eyes glancing at Leo's concerned face.)
Lunette: (with dizziness) Leo! Am I a burden? Am I useless? Do you also think that I don't deserve a better life?
Leo: Lunette! If you don't stop talking nonsense I am gonna kiss you and it will be so hard that your knee pain is gonna fade in front of it.
[Leo reaches the aid room. First he splashes some water on Lunette and makes her drink it so she can gain consciousness. Lunette dizziness reduces now she is weak but is in her conscious state. Leo pulls out an aid book and starts to clean the injury.]
Leo: Can you listen to me?
Lunette: Humm!
Leo: How does this happen?
Lunette: (Lies) I just fell to the ground.
Leo: Why so harsh in yourself? Seeing you feels like you can't run and you hate blood.
Lunette: Ahhh! Professor, it's hurting slowly.
Leo: My Bad! I will do it slowly now.
[As Leo cleans the injured knee of Lunette with antiseptic, he gently caresses the Lunette's calf with his vacant hand and blows on the injured knee.
Lunette had goosebumps.She shakes her leg out of nervousness and tries to pull it back.]
Leo: Stay still if you don't want to feel the pain.
Lunette: Humm!
Leo: Good Girl!
Lunette: (In her mind) The way he is treating my injury feels like a flirting move. I'm getting so warm and red due to this and how can someone with this cold face be this gentle?
Leo: I want to ask you something?
Lunette: Yes Professor!
Leo: Why did you say you don't want to see me when I come
to help you?
Lunette: Abbb! I.. I just don't like someone to be around me when I'm crying. But I'm sorry for that.
Leo: ohhhh! ok no problem. One more thing why you were talking bad about yourself?
Lunette: Like what?
Leo:(with anger) Useless, burden and that you don't deserve a better life.
Lunette: ohh! I must be in a dream or maybe in dizziness I talked nonsense.
Leo: Do you think I'm stupid or I look like one?
Lunette:(Giggles) Hehehehehehe!
Leo: (stare at her) Stop giggling. By the way do you remember what I said to you after you said this nonsense?
Lunette: Hummmm! No! What you say?
Leo:(Smirks) I don't remember maybe I was dizzy too.
Lunette:(In her mind) Is he teasing me?
(Leo bandages the knee of Lunette and stands in front of her. He slightly leans towards her, puts his both hands on the side of Lunette's chair and with intense gaze speaks)
Leo: You have become a lot bold. You learnt to lie to me, don't want to see me, talk bad about yourself, help others to cheat in tests, I am just a 'whatever' for you, tutoring someone, talking behind my back and then falling in my arms. What do you have to say about these things?
Lunette: Professor! I'm sorry but I'm not understanding what you are saying.
Leo: ohhh now you're acting like an amnesia person.
(Lunette gulps and stares at Leo and then on the side to avoid continuous eye contact.)
Leo: One last question and you need to answer this. When you were in pain due to injury, You called me just Leo, twice. You didn't add Professor with Leo. Why?
Lunette: Professor I'm sorry maybe because of pain I slipped my tongue.
Leo: But it seemed like you were fluent and comfortable to call my name like that. I felt like you have called me like this before.
Lunette: Professor! you misunderstood. I haven't called you like that.
Leo: Humm! Ok! let's go I will drop you home.
Lunette: No Professor! I will go with Irida and Alex.
Leo: Ohh! looks like you are really close with Alex.
Lunette: No Professor he is just my friend and I'm more close to Irida.
Leo: It doesn't seem like that. Whatever if you want to go with Irida I will send her over here but Alex is busy with some work that I have assigned him which may take time. so you should go with Irida.
Lunette: Ok Professor!
Leo: Take Care! Don't come to University for a few days until you recover.
Lunette: But my competition.
Leo: I will come to tutor you at your home. Add my number and send me the address.
Lunette: Ahhh?
Leo: Why? Do you have any problems?
Lunette: Professor can we have tutoring after I recover until then send me the notes via Irida.
Leo: Lunette! I don't like to interact with strangers. This competition is really important for you if you are having an objection, I will stop it today only, will it be fine for you?
Lunette: No Professor! I'm fine with whatever you say.
Leo: Humm! Take Care.
Lunette: (In her mind) Am I not a stranger to him? I don't understand this man at all.
[Leo leaves the aid room and sends Irida over there to help Lunette. Both go home together and Irida also tells Lunette about the Alex incident.]
