3 years later... Sam and Peter both were 13 years old now.. they just entered the teen life.. it's believe that teen life is full of instability.. you can figure out what's right or wrong, you can dream of big things, you may discover new way of enjoying life, you may see a brighter picture of the world and most importantly you may meet the right person in your life... every little thing happens to you when you are a teen you may discover a new outlook of living...

Same goes to Sam and Peter... As soon as Sam was 13 she attained puberty... the day she entered he first menstrual cycle was a big event for Sam's family...

Sam's family has been following a custom for years on the day a girl enters her first menstrual cycle.... a big ceremony is held.. the girl will have to stay at her room for 12 days they are not allowed to look at any boy during that period of 12 days.. not even their father... and on the 12 th day a big ritualistic function is held where a big banquet is held and the girl is allowed to see the outside world again.. she is allowed to meet the boys.. this ritual is held so that the girl may live a happy life after marriage with lots of blessing from God and her ancestors and she may have a healthy and lovely child...

Same goes to Sam.. the day she had her first period she was kept inside her room.. she was not allowed to see Peter..nor was she able have any contact with him... this made both Peter and Sam upset...

Next day at school.... in the morning when teacher was taking attendance....

Leah : ma'am my chair is broken I can seat in the chair....

Teacher : oh.. that's a big problem..

Leah : yes ma'am...

Teacher : fine I will tell the peon to fix it but right now you have to manage you can sit beside Peter Sam is absent today....

Leah : ok ma'am...

Leah sits beside Peter... Peter was never close with any other girl in the class accept for Sam... he just maintained a relationship a classmate should maintain..... he only considered Sam as it's friend..

Peter was drawing a picture of a girl in the drawing... it's been 3 years since he joined drawing class with Sam... he keeps on practicing constantly to make his skill better... whenever he draws he remains totally concentrated on the drawing ignoring the outside world...

Peter was so concentrated on his drawing that he didn't hear that Leah was calling him.....

Leah : Peter..!! are you listening to me..

Peter : ( shocked..) ah yes..!!!

Leah : I was Calling you for a long time..

Peter : oh so sorry I was too concentrated... tell me how may I help you...

Leah : whom are you drawing...

Peter : ah this.. ( shows the drawing to Leah) how is it... ?

Leah : it's amazing... !! is it Sam...?

Peter : how did you know...?

Leah : nothing I just guessed it and it turned to be correct..

Peter : oh... so it's a coincidence..

Leah : ( blush ) yea.. it's the first time you are talking to me..

Peter : oh really..?

Leah : yea..

Peter : probably we were in different section I guess...

Leah : maybe... by the way why is Sam absent..

Peter : she got her first period yesterday.. so she is undergoing some kind of customs....

Leah : oh... that's the reason

Peter : yea... she will come after 12 days so you may sit here for a few days..

Leah : oh I got it thank you...

Peter : it's not a big deal.. ( smiles..)

Leah : ( blush...)

Few minutes later it was Maths period... Math teacher gave some sums in the board to solve.. Leah was a good students so she solved all the questions.. she was sitting and watching Peter..

on the other hand Peter was stuck on the last sum.. he had been trying repeatedly... Leah notices that..

Leah : let me help you solve the sum.. it's not hard we only need to apply formula..

Peter : oh really... thanks for your help.. I suck at maths actually... so I forget everything lol...

Leah : you are so funny..!

Peter : what..!? I didn't hear..

Leah : nothing.. let's focus on the sum...! look..its solved like this.. ( shows the sum)

Peter : ah so it's done like this... ( concentrated.)

Leah : ( peeks at Peter's face) ( blush)..

Peter : ( completes the sum..) huff.. finally it's done.. damn maths suck..!! ( looks at Leah ) thanks for your help... else I would have been scolded by Teacher..

Leah : It's okay..

Peter : are you not feeling well..?

Leah : why..?

Peter : you are turning red.!!

Leah : huh..? am I.. of maybe because it's too hot.. ( fans herself with her hand..)

Peter : aren't you one of the top student..

Leah : am I..?

Peter : yea the way you solved the sum shows that you are a brilliant student.. and I seem to have noticed you in earlier classes. m

Leah : really..?

Peter : maybe I am not that sure.. but thank you because topper student usually doesn't help others..

Leah : it's okay.. I am not that brilliant if you have any doubt in the future regarding any subject you can come to me I will help you...

Peter : sure...

Leah a popular topper student who is also a beauty have got a good impression.. Peter seemed to give some attention to her... slowly and gradually Leah started to get close to Peter she seemed to show her concern to Peter.. whenever Peter came back playing football she had offer him water... she shares her tiffin with him she started doing the same activities that sam does fir Peter it seemed like she had been noticing both of them for a long period of time.... and as sam was absent their was no other option for Peter but to take her as a substitute for sam....

Finally the day came when Sam was allowed to see the outside world again... but Peter was at school so she had to wait for him the whole day.. she had been thinking what she will do when she sees Peter.. will she hug him.. or directly hold his hand.. cuz this is what they have been doing all this year's.. but she was little shy cuz now everyone calls her a big girl since she had her first period.. she is way to excited to meet Peter in the evening after he return backs from school...
