HOSTILE.....?

The whole day Charu was unnecessarily blabbering for the sake of talking to Sri.She knew that Shalu often passed side glances at her and her heart jumped with joy.But this was tiring for Sri and she even wondered if Charu was sane .One time Charu even asked her if she washed and ironed her ribbons and whether lice would bite them off...!!

Then atlast without any patience she cried out..."Please stop this nonsense..!I can't stand it any longer." So saying she dashed off as soon as the bell rang at the end of the day. Charu was hurt at this, she felt sad and thought that Sri was rude and mean ."No wonder Shalu hated her" she thought. She looked around to see if Shalu had seen any of these humiliating moments.
But alas..! Shalu was watching her but Charu could see that Shalu was sad and her heart pounded at the thought that she had fought with her. They saw each other and started walking in the same direction. They walked close as they held their hands together without saying a word. Suddenly Shalu shouted " You passed...!! You passed ...I went again and saw your answer paper..". Charu was filled to the brim with happiness and she decided she would give her friend a new gift as soon as they reached home...
