Just a usual day of school, corridors rushing with crowds, chaos and noises. Students were talking and running to the classes before the classes start. Stella walks through the corridor to her class. While entering, she saw a new guy sitting beside Mike. He was talking to all the guys in the class. She thought that it's a new guy, a transfer student. She went to her seat and Mary sat beside her. They both are really good friends. They have been friends for years. She started talking to her, "Hey girl! Why were you absent for the last few days? We have a new transfer student, look, that guy. His name is Andrew, there are rumours that he is  really good at studies, but he doesn't look that good, no? He looks kinda ... Weird. But let's not judge people in their looks, you always say that." Stella looks at him after hearing Mary's words and rolled her eyes at him. She said, "No big deal, Mary. It's the new session, so of course we'll have transfer students. He made rumours already,huh? Great in studies, huh? Nice. And he looks just fine, let's just focus on ourselves. " And they both continued talking about random stuff like their daily lives. The day continued the way it always did, in lunch break, when Stella was going to wash her hands she saw Andrew on the way. He smiled and stopped. He said, "Oh, hi! You're... Stella, right? I heard that you draw really well. Also that you're the only one who could draw well in the whole class.Nice to meet you. I'm Andrew."

Stella replied, "Hi, glad to meet you too, and yeah, i do hear that i draw well pretty much. But there are others who draw well too." 

Andrew chuckled and said, "By the way, if you don't mind me asking, can i ask your mom's name? Ok if you want to, it is a weird question" and laughed nervously wondering if she'll answer or not.

Stella was confused as it was a weird question, she replied, "It's Sophia, but why? Like, that's such a weird and random question. Do out of the blue." 

Andrew smiled and said, "Oh nothing, I just thought you're an actress's daughter, that's why I asked that question." And just walked back to class like nothing happened, leaving Stella confused, "What a weird guy" she thought, rolled her eyes and went to class too. 

When she entered the class, Mary hugged her in excitement and whispered to her, "So, you're already talking to him, huh? Liked him so much on the first day? Pretty quick, but I'll root for this ship. I'll support your decisions." Stella looked at her shockingly, saying, "What are you talking about, we just had a lil conversation which he started. Why would i like him?" They both started walking to their seat. 

Mary- "Ohhh, so atleast tell me what did he say? What did you guys talk about?" 

Stella- "Nothing, just that i reminded him of some actress's daughter? Weird, no?" Mary replied "What? That's soo... Confusing, like what did he even mean by that. By the way, since you talked to him, what do you think about him?" 

Stella- "We didn't talk that much for me to think about him. You know I can't judge him based on that one line. Let's just leave this topic of him. Why waste our time?" And Stella just ignored the topic.

The day when art room is filled with noises, everyone focused on randomly cutting papers while Andrew was looking at Stella secretly as she was the class artist. The teacher came and said, "Good morning class. Today, we'll be making paper flowers. Flowers are special. Many people like them. They can be given to others as gifts, to yourself as a self love reminder, they have so many meanings and memories for different people. So start making your flowers, I'll give you guys grades for this so better be focused." Everyone started crafting including Stella. Everyone was struggling but her, looking like an absolute beauty while focusing. After 15 minutes everyone was done and they started showing each other and the teacher their creations. 

Teacher- "Wow guys! Your creations are so pretty. So neat and beautiful." 

Stella then showed her flower, "Miss, I'm done, how is it?" She asked excitedly and everyone stared at her flower. It was so pretty that left everyone shook. 

Teacher- "Wow Stella! This is perfection. The precision in those cuts, the way they're pasted, rhe colors, everything is just stunning."

Everyone was chatting when Andrew said "Miss. that's because she's perfect" While looking at her smilingly. Stella smiled back and replied with a ''Thank you".

Mary whispered to Stella "You're perfect, huh? Guess he already likes you so much. Tell me honestly, which spell did you cast?" 

Stella- ''Cmon Mary, he probably said that in the context of art and craft. It's been a month since he was here, ofc he would know that much."

Mary- "Brooo, you're not reacting at all? Cmon. He just didn't compliment your art, he said 'you're PERFECT', not that you're good in it or it looks good, but that you're perfect!'' 

Stella said with an annoyed look, "You're overreacting." 

They both broke into laughter. 

Mike said to Andrew, "Perfect, huh? Do you like her or something?"

Andrew- "What? No, bro. I said it because she is so perfect in it, like isn't she?" 

Mike- "Yea, that's true. She's the best in art and craft. None of us can match her level." And they both continued talking too. 

They next day, Stella saw Noah in the corridor. She ran to class and asked Mary, "Is Noah back!?"

Mary replied, "Well..... Uh... Huh.... Ok, even i don't wanna say it but yeah... He's back." 

Andrew looked at her was confused, he asked Mike, "Hey, why is Stella so stressed about some 'Noah' being back, and who's he?" 

Mike- "He's like a bully. He has done several things to annoy her. That's why she hates him soo much"

Andrew- "You guys never said anything?" 

Mike- "We did, but the times we did, we got punched by him."

Andrew went into thoughts for a while. 

Andrew- "What has he done to her?"

Mike- "Well... He had hit her, injured her, and broken her favorite things several times. We tried to protect her but got punched. Don't why he has so much beef with her."

Andrew- "WHAT!?" He screamed but than lowed his voice when everyone looked at him. "Injured her and you guys too?"

Mike- "Yeah, pretty unlucky he's back." These words left Andrew shook. After a while Noah entered the class. "Hey Stel, still a scaredy cat or grown brave?" He scoffed at her. 

Stella- "My life is totally none of your business!" She said with anger. Noah didn't say much and went to his seat, but he was smirking. Stella knew what had returned and how hwe school life would be like again. It made her sad. 

Mary- "Hey Stella, don't be scared. Maybe he wouldn't do it again?"

Stella- "After judging him on the way he just said that, do you really think he changed!?" 

Mary tried comforting Stella and classes started after few minutes.
