You can

The four kids stepped out of the class when Martha saw Lorries and Sherley out of the class. She didn't know why but she sensed some negative aura. She stood like that looking at Lorries whose face left darkened and the girl beside her was smirking which made Martha frown her brows.

"Lorries!!" Martha stepped ahead as she forced a smile on her face. Her heart was beating hard and her mind was blank looking at Lorries's darkened face. But she didn't lose the smile she was forcing herself to as she reached Lorries.

"Hey!! What are you doing here?? Aren't you on your way home??" Martha raises her both brows innocently as she was looking forward for Lorries to speak but that didn't happen.

"Ohh, Did we disturb your time?? Sorry about that Martha. We were just passing by." Sherley smirked again which really annoyed Martha. But all she wanted was Lorries to talk, didn't want to mind the girl beside.

"Did I do something wrong, Lorries??" She placed her hand on Lorries's shoulder who was facing down that she looked too weak to wobble.

"Ohh, Actually she got less marks in the test. But you guys studied together, didn't you?? How could you get good marks and she couldn't?? How can you secretly study without her, Martha??" Sherley spoke again as she tried to take Martha's hand off Lorries.

Listening what Sherley said Martha frowned her brows as she turned her gaze to Lorries. She seemed to believe what Sherley said.

"Lorries?? I didn't. We did study together, didn't we?? We really spent a lot of time together. Don't you know me?? This isn't an issue at all, Lorries." Martha was worried looking at Lorries's darkened aura. But Lorries wasn't uttering a word. She stood there still facing down. Martha couldn't see her through as she gave her voice again.

"Lorries?? Don't you believe me??" Martha asked Lorries as her face seemed troubled.

"Say something, Lorries!!!"

"What should I say??" Lorries finally gave her voice without raising her head.

"Lorries..." Martha didn't have anything to say but listen to Lorries.

"Tell me what should I say?? Isn't it enough what Sherley said??" Lorries words stunned Martha that she widened her eyes the moment she heard her.

"Lorries... That's not it...Let me expla-"

"What do you have to say?? You didn't cheat me??"

"What are you talking about?? Who cheated you??... It's such a small issue!!"

"Small issue?? My parents will not bare me getting such marks. You know that, don't y-" Lorries raised her head and halted her words looking at Martha's face, for her surprise she was crying.

"What?? You're going to leave me too?? For such a little matter?? Ohh, This isn't. I didn't expect this from you. If you felt these marks were important, then you should've studied harder than you did. That really wasn't my fault. It's your fault for not studying hard." Martha smile but her eyes weren't listening her. Tears were flowing down and down. But when Lorries heard 'It's your fault' her mind couldn't accept getting wrong by others that she began to speak again,

"You think It's my fault??"

"Ofcourse....sniff..."

"Take your words back, Martha!!"

"That's the fact. I won't take it back. I won't even beg you to stay with me if you want to leave me like all did. I don't give a damn anymore." Martha's eyes were still flowing with tears but she still was smiling. Looking at her face Lorries felt ache in her chest but she didn't give a thought before,

"That's it then. We're not friends anymore." She stated but frequently widened her eyes as if she felt guilt.

"Thank you." Martha couldn't say anymore as she wiped her tears off her cheek and her voice echoed again.

"I feel relieved after knowing your true intention of being a friend of mine. Thank you." She said as she forced a smile again. Before Lorries could utter a word she was being dragged away.

"Well, It's settled then. We must leave, Lorries. Come on. Paula has been waiting for us." Sherley dragged her away from the sight of Martha as if she was worried that even one second Lorries spent with Martha and that would melt her. Lorries didn't utter a word that her face even darkened being dragged away from Martha.

"Paula??" Martha mumbled in dubiety as she wiped her tears. Before she could think anything her shoulder seemed heavier. She turned her sight just to see Victor placing his palm on her shoulder from behind and she astonished that she did forget their presence and she blushed thinking about crying infront of the two guys.

"You saw that?? You saw me crying??....You...uh...Uwah!!!" Martha couldn't control anymore that she let her pain out in the form of tears.

"Why am I the one gets misunderstand always...Uwah..... Even Lorries left me...Uwah.... I'm alone again....!!!!!" She cried so hard that Victor couldn't help but yank her into his embrace. Martha didn't hug him back but buried her face in his shirt. He gently rubbed her back trying to soothe her as he rested his chin on her hair.

"Martha, They don't deserve these tears." Vincoln stepped ahead as he patted Martha's back too.

"Why does everyone leave me!!!! What did I do?? Uwahh.....No one does love me at all!!!!" Martha's voice was deep enough to drown the one hugging her. Victor gulped as he begun to give his voice.

"I love you, Little Grape. We do." He said as he moved his lips to give a peck on her hair but his embrace was split away and the girl in his embrace was dragged by Tessa. Tessa then flipped the crying girl around. Martha raised her head and the instant she looked Tessa she felt 'Thud' on her both shoulders.

"Look Martha, Don't waste your tears for them who don't care you!! You are saying you're alone. Can I consider you as a blind who can't see three friends here??" Tessa asked Martha as if she was trying to change her mind about thinking of being alone. Martha looked around when Tessa asked her to see the three around her.

"You saw that, right?? We're here. Not like Lorries or not like anyone whom you've mentioned left you. We're not like them, Are we??" Tessa asked her firmly getting a tight grip on Martha's shoulders that before she could talk more Martha hugged her. Her words seemed to soothe her that she hugged her tight.

"Arghh, You're choking me!!!! Umm!!!" Tessa yelled but she was left astonished after hearing Martha's voice in her ears.

"Can I atleast believe you guys won't leave me??" Martha whispered but that reached Tessa which made her hug Martha back.

"I guess, You can."
