Eleanor:-"Rudrik-!!!"

Rudrik:-"hmm-?"

Eleanor smiles and grabs his hand taking him back to class

The next day

The teacher announces a new student and he introduces himself

"Hello everyone.. I'm Zackery Evans but you all can call me Zack-! I look forward to meeting all of you-!"

Zack takes a glance towards Eleanor who smiles back

Rudrik glares at Zack for a while

In recess
