3: What??

I was not very good in befriending someone but Victor and I became quite good friends. Victor approached me and asked me whether I wanted to be friends with him on the second day since he joined the class. I saw that our houses were the same route. We would walk home together and I even taught him many chapters which he seemed to know but still would pretend as if he didn't understand a word. Although he was my other wise good friend, he was most of the time silent and would rarely laugh.

After What Ange told me about him crushing on me after the first day. I didn't give much notice to her words but somewhere and somehow I knew it was true even after the exams got over. Victor came first in the class due to which I came Second, I was a little sad cause I had never ever in my life came second because I was afraid of disappointing Aunt and Uncle but I controlled myself and smiled and encouraged him but he somehow saw the sadness in my eyes and said "Sorry for taking away your rank and making you fall down.". Although he said that with worry, somehow I felt like he was mocking me. I was surprised cause even after knowing him for a whole 5 months, he never spoke more and 3 words but now he said a whole sentence and that too a little fast that I fell in a daze and said "What??". After a moment I realised his words and said "No problem 're baba, anything for you"(When I was sad I used to call him baba).He looked at me and I realised what I said and stammered "I....I mea....I mean to sa....say....." He lightly smiled and placed his hand on my head, shuffled my hair and said"I understand ". This was the first time he had touched me but he messed up my hair. Ange, Ralf and his sister started laughing looking at my messed up hair while Victor looked proud.
