Episode 3

**The next morning,

Shadow had her breakfast and left for the school. On the way to school she was only thinking about how can she pass the examination without studying. She was thinking of the way which can help her pass the exam. On her way she met with her classmate named Denail. He is the second top student of the school. Denial has feelings towards Shadow but he never said it as he was afraid that if he will be rejected so he will also lose her as his friend.

He noticed that Shadow was un deep thought that she didn't even notice him. He asked her what's on her mind.

"Hey! What's wrong? Why are you so absent-minded? You didn't even notice me!"- Denial.

"Ahh! It's nothing. I'm just worrying about the examination. That's all."- Shadow.

"What's there to worry about? It's just an examination!"- Denial.

*Huhh.. I'm must me stupid telling them about it, Blue and Denial both are good at studying. How will they understand my worry. They can just make fun of me*- Shadow talking to herself.

"Hmm..well yes you're right just an EXAMINATION!"- Shadow.

Denial observed her disappointment and he thought he can help her and at the same time he can get a chance to get close to her.

"By the way, if you don't mind then I can help you. I know your grades are not good enough."- Denial mentioned.

"What? Are you serious? Will you really help me?"- Shadow said happily.

"Of course!"- Denial.

"But, it will trouble you. Leave it, I will study by myself. Thank you!"- Shadow.

"Hey, it's no big deal! We're friends and we should help each other. And teaching you will help me revise. So, there's no loss for me."- Denial.

"Thank you, Denial. You are the BEST."- Shadow hugged him.

Denial's heart skipped a beat. He don't know what to do. He wanted to hold her in his arms so tightly that even air can't fill the space between them. He wanted the time to pause at that moment. But he was hesitant to hold her, all he can do is feel her hug and fall in love with her more deeply.

"Let's go. We'll going to be late "- Denial.

"Ohh..s..sorry! I.. I...it..it was sudden emotion out of happiness."- Shadow felt awkward and embarrassed.

"It's okay! No problem. Let's go now."- Daniel tried to comfort her.

"Okay."- Shadow.

They both walked the way to school without saying anything. Shadow was embarrassed to say anything and Denial was hoping that she will say something. They both reached school and went to class together.

In the class, Shadow sat on her desk and Blue was sitting behind her. As soon as she sat, Blue pull her hair and teased her.

"Hi! Miss.FLAT"- Blue.

"You...you..Don't mess with me or I'll beat you to death."- Shadow.

"Hahaha! Sure. Come and hit me."- Blue.

" YOU...WAIT..!"- Shadow gets up from her seat.

As soon as she tried to hit him the teacher arrived and she missed the chance.

" What? Scared now?"- Denial teased her.

"Who is scared of you?"- Shadow said and hit him.

"Hey, you two. Always arguing and fighting. Why don't you join wrestling and show your skills there."- Teacher shouted at them.

" Sorry Sir!"- Both apologized.

"If you wanted to fight, get out of my class. If you want to study, then sit and br quiet in my class."- Teacher.

"Sorry Sir!"- They apologized again and taken their seats.
