"Ellen! Long time no see.", said Mrs. George. (hugging Ellen with a great smile on her face)

"Yeah, I missed you and off-course my little friends", said Ellen. (with giggles)

"Where were you busy these days?", asked Mrs. George.

"Ah' I forget to tell you that I have to face a gigantic problem, these days are hectic for me. Stressful (ugh!)", Ellen let her frustration out.

"Ellen' do you remember Mrs. James?", asked Mrs. George.

"I think so I have a little bit image of her", told Ellen remembering something.

"How can you forget her? She was the one who send you back to your home when you fainted last time. Now you remember?", asked Mrs. George.

"Didn't Peter find me near the house? Aunt didn't tell me about it.", (sadly) Ellen claimed.

"Okay! Forget it now 'I told you, so don't ask your aunt, and don't bother her" suggested Mrs.George.

Ellen moved towards the mini kitchen to get a cup of coffee for herself and the librarian. Ellen went back with the most delicious cup of coffee and both sat on the balcony Ellen asked," So what were you telling me about that lady?"

"Oh! I forget to tell you about her. She is my close friend and she came back after a trip and she asked me about you. She suggested treatment for your illness, as she was searching in this field for a long time and now she knows about this illness, and she is willing to treat you my dear." (by patting her on the shoulder) I will let you think about it, tell me what should I reply to her, just think carefully about it."(Mrs. George clears her eyes ) As you know I don't have any child and from the moment I know you, I always treat you as my child I wish you to live like a normal person and people don't miss treat you."

Ellen hugged Mrs. George and promised her to think about it." Okay! Now, give me the new edition of "THE WARRIORS AND THE ROSE". You don't know 'how long I was waiting for it to be published.

(With a smile on her face) Mrs.George there it is( pointing towards the shelf ), I saved one for you 'I know how much you love this series. Ellen hugged and kissed her and run towards the shelf and starts dancing with the book in excitement.

"Ellen let's go to the new theme park this weekend.", said Sandy while walking towards the cafeteria with Ellen. (both were holding hands off each other)

"Hmm, Okay! Let's go to lift our modes and to get some positive vibes", Ellen replied with excitement (while having a big smile on her face and a spark in her eyes she looked towards Sandy) both were like soulmates and starts giggling over it like they were going to do some fun and having a naughty spark in their eyes, that makes them look like a naughty child.

(Sandy hits Ellen's shoulder and with her eyes shows the direction of a scene, Ellen followed the eye signals )

"Look someone is being so hostile today," said Sandy.

"Hmm, it seems so.GOD knows what she is up to," said Ellen.

Both were lost in the very serious observation that they forget to get something to eat. Dustin continuously observed them and waves his hand to get their attention, all in vain. He stand-up and stepped towards them, he whispered in Sandy's ear," What caught your attention that you forget, my existence?"

"Ah! You scared me.", Sandy almost shouted( she pats her heart to calm herself as she was caught on the spot)

"On what are you being guilty? What were you enjoying?" the chatterbox asked in excitement.

"Ahn, look over there someone has turned from devil to angel. We can't digest it.", said Sandy making a face.

"Oh, you are talking about Althea," asked Dustin.

"Yes, and who is the devil in this school except her.", Sandy said while remembering the recent scenes of the event that happened to her.

"Alright let's go and grab something to eat unless hot tempered come here and will lecture us some etiquette and I'm not in the mode of getting an extra lecture," said Ellen while walking towards the cafe to grab something to eat. Sandy and Dustin also followed her. Miss Hitler was looking at their gestures and knew that they were going to do something to her to let her down in front of the newcomer. And she can't let that happen as her father ordered her. When recess ended, everyone was led toward their classrooms and Ellen and Sandy also went toward the class while enjoying their snacks. Althea grabbed Ellen's hand and almost dragged her towards the washroom, their whole gang was waiting for her. For a moment she was almost breathless but she calmed herself and gathered the courage and asked," Now what was this?".Althea pushed her towards the door and put her arm at her throat and ordered her not to be near the newcomer, if she saw any one of them, from the class around her she will let them pay for it. Ellen was suffocated and was unable to say a single word, Althea has already won the championship in boxing so she was applying her full strength on Ellen's neck, Ellen's tears dropped down as she was unable to breathe. Then there was some noise coming from outside to open the door and someone was knocking at the door, Althea and her gang got nervous and opened the door, Mister hot tempered was at the door, Sandy and Dustin were hiding behind him and Emily(the branded girl) was also there and almost a small crowd was there, Ellen came out from the back of the door and was all sweaty and her eyes were full of tears and her face was red, Mr. Summer Lee was shocked to see Ellen in this condition, Miss Tofel stepped forward and Ellen leaned at her, and she took her to the infirmary, Mr. Summer asked Althea and her gang to follow him and took them to his office. There he shouted at them about how can they harass their junior like that, and how can they make her choke to death. He punished them by writing a self-criticism of 2000 words and they will read it in front of the whole school and ask them to call their parents to come and meet him. Sandy was standing at the door and she was amused by how Mister Lee treated and punished them, but she was also worried for her friend. From this, she understood one thing "what you sow, so shall you reap", and got that Mister Lee treats every student equally but sometimes he exaggerates the situations, especially in her case. Ellen was feeling fine as Miss Tofel took great care of her and she just felt warmth from her, she observed different gestures in just a few minutes and got one thing, gestures do affect one's whole life, and these are much more powerful than any influencer or motivator's speech.
