Chapter - 5 Relationship

The next day everyone was looking at Autumn and whispering something but this time there eyes were not hostile and full of mockery.... There eyes were a bit relaxed but expectant.....

Autumn noticed that..... But she was confused..... Her confusion increased when a girl came up to Autumn and greeted her....

"Umm.....hello Autumn... I'm one of your classmates.. My name is Daisy Han." She said with a smile.

She was not the only one who approached Autumn to talk to her... Many followed after Daisy and started to talk to her....

What was more shocking for Autumn was that not only the girls but also the boys approached her..

She felt uncomfortable getting all the attention suddenly...

Christy was also shocked to see everything.... She was getting jealous of Autumn because now everyone was talking to Autumn and ignoring Christy.... Christy always love to be the center of everyone's attention.

Christy tried to find out about the rumors.....and she was shocked to know about the rumours but she didn't revealed those rumours to Autumn....

As the end of the school was approaching a tall handsome boy walked straight to Autumn's class and stood right in front of her seat....

Autumn was confused to see a handsome boy smiling to her...

"What?" Autumn asked as the boy was just smiling at her and not uttering a single word.

"Oh.. Sorry to interrupt you.. But I have something that I need to say.." the boy said.

Christy was more than just shock... She was stunned to see the school hunk talking to Autumn...

"Who are you again?" Autumn asked in a less interested tone.

Christy nudged her elbow to Autumn.... Telling her to be nice..... Everyone was shocked to see the school hunk talking to her and to see Autumn who was not interested in talking to him....

"Oh... My bad... I should've introduced myself first.." the boy said.

"Hello... My name is Roy.... Roy Han." the boy said.

"Well.. You approached me so I guess you already know my name..." Autumn said.

"Yes... I know your name, Autumn.." Roy said with a charming smile.

"What do you want from me? It's not like you just came to make your existence known... Right?" Autumn said.

Autumn was being a bit rude towards him because she was afraid that if she was too nice, he will also mock her like everyone else..... But the boy was persistent and still talked to her and smiled at her....

" I wanted to talk to you and... Um..... Wanted to know you more... If you don't mind." Roy said with a shy smile.

" What? Why? Why do you want to know me?" Autumn asked.

"Well... You can just understand by the way I'm trying to put it... I... Ummm.... would love to go out with you.." Roy said.

"What?" Christy shouted as she stood up from her seat.

Everyone who looking at Christy... Although Autumn was the one who was suppose to react that way but she was calm on the outside and stunned on the inside..

Christy was embarrassed to see everyone staring at her. To minimise the embarrassment she tried to cover up.

"I mean.. What do you mean by that?... You... You don't know anything about Autumn.... How are you so sure you like her and want to date her?.... If you wanted to date her then why didn't you approached her earlier?" Christy said.

Autumn was relieved to see Christy speaking for her.. She wanted to say the exact same things but Christy said them first and took Autumn's side.

'I didn't knew my friend was so thoughtful and so nice to me.... And I.. I was just doubting her..' Autumn thought.

"I don't know what is your relationship with Autumn but by how you put things... You might be her friend.... I know you have good thoughts about Autumn in your heart but you are making me seem like a bad guy here.. I mean no harm." Roy said.

"I didn't approached her earlier because she never talked to anyone before, but now things are different... She talks to everyone... My sister told me that Autumn is willing to talk to the people who are nice and polite to her... so here I am.." Roy explained.

" Your sister? " Autumn asked.

" Yes... My sister, Daisy Han.... The one who talked to you this morning. "Roy said.

" Well... I reject your offer.... "Autumn said.

Everyone was shocked to see someone saying no to the school hunk... Although he was not particularly intelligent in studies and neither is he good at sports... He was basically famous for his handsome face and politeness.... Never once was he rejected by a girl...

"May I know the reason for this rejection?" Roy asked.

"Welll... I have many reasons to reject you... Which are..... I Don't know you..... What Christy said does have a point... If you liked me you would've approached me earlier.... I don't want a relationship right now..... And hmm... If suddenly one day a complete stranger walks upto you to ask you out definitely you would also reject him.... If it were being just friends I would've considered it but not a boyfriend... " Autumn explained.

" I think these should be enough reasons for now.." Autumn said.

Roy stared at Autumn blankly...

" Then let's start with being friends..?" Roy Asked.

" You said you will think about it..." Roy said.

" Okay.. I'll think about it.." Autumn said.

Roy left with a smile..... And obviously not only her class but the entire school will know about it now....because rumours were always fast to spread.

Autumn sighed... Christy was stunned and was full of jealousy...

' I never got a chance to talk to Roy but she.. She was approached by him first... Unbelievable... What is in this ugly thing.... If it was a really beautiful girl.. I would have been okay with it but Autumn.. I just can't stand it....' Christy thought.

"Christy? You okay? You didn't say a word since earlier.... I know you are worried about me but this Roy guy doesn't seems so bad... I think making friends with him would be nice..." Autumn said.

' Ha! You really think you deserve him.... Friends my foot! No...wait a minute.... If Autumn will be his friend then so will I and I will also become one step closer to my aim to make him mine..... I will stand a chance to be with him.... Of course he would choose me over an ugly thing like her...' Christy thought.

" I was thinking about it and I think you should say yes and become his friend.... It's always nice to have more friends." Christy said.

Autumn smiled and nodded.

The next day Roy was already waiting for Autumn outside her class. As he saw Autumn he smiled and waved his hand happily.

" Hello... I was waiting for you... Autumn. " Roy said with a charming smile.

" Oh.... You didn't have to...." Autumn said.

She was happy... This was the first time anyone was waiting for her... No one ever waited for her let alone a guy.... She was being nice and polite today...

Christy was blushing as Roy said hello to her too.

"So am I getting an answer yet or.... I have to wait for long.... Although I'm not into waiting but for you I'll definitely wait.." Roy said.

It was clear as day that he was flirting with Autumn and Christy was getting more and more jealous... She pulled Autumn's arm to make a distance between Roy and Autumn.

Autumn looked at Christy and then turned towards Roy.

" Well, I would love to be friends with you.." Autumn said.

"I gotta go now... Ummm....I'll see you around then." Autumn smiled and left.

Christy looked towards Roy all blushing and was stunned to see his expression.

He was looking at Christy with an irritated expression.

He stepped closer to Christy.

"Stay away from me and don't you dare stand in my way..... You have been getting on my nerves since the first day... Back off or things will get pretty ugly.....for you......" Roy whispered in Christy's ear and left.

Christy was shocked and became angry thinking that it was all Autumn's fault... If it wasn't for her Roy would have looked at her instead.

Days passed by and Roy and Autumn became the talk of the school. It was more than 2 weeks since the day Roy and Autumn became friends. Roy use to stick around Autumn all the time, Autumn helped him with his studies, assignments and homework which resulted in Roy's image to improve.. Autumn also did his homework and assignments all the time because of which Roy's grades improved in a fast pace.....

Autumn always thought it was normal to do your friend's assignment and homework because she also did Christy's as well...

Roy and Christy became more reliant on Autumn and stopped studying regularly....

However the thing the forgot were the more you rely on someone the more useless you become...

It was a bit over 2 weeks when Roy proposed to Autumn again and she said yes... Roy and Autumn began to go out... Christy was green with envy and didn't talked to Autumn much but Autumn didn't even had free time because in school she was with Roy and after school she had to complete not only her assignment but also of Roy's..... Christy was keeping her distance from Autumn but once the teacher gave them any assignment she came running to Autumn for help..

One day Autumn was down with fever and Roy asked her to do his assignment and Autumn messed up his assignment unintentionally....

The next day the teacher reprimanded Roy for his messed up assignment and told him off by saying that he was back to being poor in studies... A few days of good work definitely can't hide the true facts... And that he was always after girls because of which he has no time for studies.....

Roy felt so humiliated and was angry at Autumn... He thought she messed up his assignment internationally...

Roy called Autumn and called her out to meet him.....

Autumn told him about her condition but he didn't even listen to what Autumn has to say.... Unwillingly Autumn went to meet him..

"Roy..." Autumn said in a weak voice..

"You did that to take a revenge on me right?" Roy said.

He didn't even took a look at Autumn's condition and lashed out....

"What are you talking about?..... Why would I mess up your assignment?.....It's just that I was running a high fever and wasn't feeling so great so I tried to do my best but ended up messing up..... I told you to cross check it...." Autumn explained.

"Now you are making excuses... If you didn't wanted to do my assignment you should've just said so... Because of you I faced such humiliation.... Are you happy now?.... You always ask me to cross check but it was always right how come you messed up now of all times... " Roy shouted in an irritated voice.

Autumn snapped. He didn't even consider her situation, didn't even offer her a seat before accusing her and now he was saying that she did everything intentionally.

" What is wrong with you? If you want your assignment to be so flawless then do your assignment by your own from now on... It's not like I am a machine or something that I can't make any mistakes... I'm running a high fever but instead of asking me to rest you are just considering your side of problem.... Just who do you think I am.... Your girlfriend or a person who just have to complete your assignments and homework on time..... You didn't once asked me how was I since yesterday....or how am I feeling..... I still completed your assignment but instead of saying a simple thank you... You are lashing out on me.... " Autumn shouted in anger..

She turned and left..

As Autumn left he realised that is he continues to do this he will loose Autumn and if that happens then there will be no one who will do his assignments for him. But if he went to Autumn now to said that he was sorry she will understand the motive behind his words. So he rushed to Autumn.

"Come here.... I'll show you off it's already this late... It's dangerous to go alone.." Roy said pretending to be caring and cool.

'Haaa.... Hope she thinks that I'm a gentleman who still thinks about her even when we just had a fight.' Roy thought.

'Haa... Although he was shouting just now he still cares about me... How can I be so harsh to him...' Autumn thought.

He took her to the front door of her house and left without saying anything... He tried to win her over again by acting all caring and cool..

Maybe his strategy was better than he expected because he managed to win her back that day.....

He was using her and pretended to be all nice and caring towards her and Autumn who never came across someone who truly cares about her and was nice to her was blinded by her craving for affection....
