Chapter 2

She was feeling suffocated thinking about this. Her carbon dioxide level was going down. She stood and ran towards the roof of the canteen. She had difficulty in breathing.

She took a paper bag from her pocket on the rooftop and started blowing into it.

After sometime she was feeling better and went down. While going down, she was shocked to see Andy there.

Andy was worried seeing Alina hurriedly run to the rooftop. He thought,

"Maybe because of me, she is going to jump from the rooftop."

Alina ran to the washroom and started crying there. She had tried her best to conceal her difficulty in breathing from everyone in the school, but now Andy knew it. She was worried to death that he would disclose her secret.

After crying for half an hour, the girls gathered outside the door. Some of them called the female teachers. A kind-hearted female teacher came and sent all the girls back to their classes.

"Dear, come out. Tell me what happened. I promise, I will help you. Please come out."

Slowly the door opened. Alina came out and washed her face. Her face was full red like a tomato.

The teacher asked her, "What happened? Are you okay?"

Alina said, "Nothing mam. I am okay." and went to her class.

The moment she entered the class, Sara came close to her and hugged her tightly. Then she took Alina to her seat and gave her water.

Alina was shivering. Her clothes became all wet as the water bottle fell from her hands. Sara hurriedly stood up and took her to the washroom. She then went to bring her something to change into.

"Wait here. I will bring something for you."

Alina wasn't feeling well. She sat in one corner waiting for Sara. Sara brought her sports uniform and gave it to Alina. Alina then went to the washroom to change. She changed it fast and came out.

"Thankyou. If it weren't you, I could have...". Alina was still shivering.

"Let's go to the medical room. Rest there for sometime.", Sara said softly.

At night,

Alina was tired and worried that Andy would disclose her secret. Her brother, Sam had seen through her. He came in her room and asked in a low tone,

"Who found out?"

For a second, Alina was startled. She then quickly composed herself and said,

"Please don't ask me. I am really tired and wanna sleep."

He quietly went out saying, "Ok".

Alina felt sleepy and went to bed. In a matter of seconds, she was sleeping soundly. Her mom came in the room and switched out the lights.

Soon Alina felt sun rays on her face and heard the chirping of birds. She got up and went to the washroom. She took a shower, brushed her teeth and came out.

For that time, she had forgotten what had happened yesterday. She then went to have breakfast. While eating, Sam came from behind and hugged her.

Everyone was looking at him in shock. Sam had loved her sister since her birth, but he never showed it to anyone.
