heart beats..lub dub in

The rain started suddenly after the last school bell rang.

Students ran across the campus laughing and shouting, trying to protect their bags from getting soaked. Within minutes, the roads were shining with water, and the sky turned dark gray.

Near the bus stop stood Lusi, holding her notebook tightly over her head. She looked worried.

"oh no..."she whispered.

Her cycle tyre is flat..

one by one ,the buses left, and soon the campus became almost empty.

That was when someone stopped beside her.

"Need help ?"

Lusi turned around and saw a tall boy in a black hoodie, rain dripping from his hair. It was Sam _the unknown boy with handsome face.

"my cycle tyre is flat," she said awkwardly.

Sam smiled faintly."looks like it."

He bent down near cycle to check while rain poured heavily around them..After a minute He sighed.

Lusi looked helplessly at the empty road."Great. And I forget my umbrella too."

Without saying anything, sam removed his jacket hood and opened the umbrella he was carrying.

"Come on", he said."i'll walk you to your home.

It's okay," you will get drenched."

"I am already drenched."

She laughed softly for the first time that evening.

They started walking together under the small umbrella Thee rain was so heavy that their shoulders kept brushing accidentally. Cold wind blew across the road, and puddles splashed around their shoes.

For a while, neither of them spoke. When they see shop they gone for have gone midnight snacks. Sam bought one coffee.

"You didn't have to, "she said

"you looked freezing". Sam said

Lusi watched sam quietly helping the convience store part timer to move boxes away from leaking side of store.He did it naturally ,without trying to impress anyone.

And somehow in that small moment,her heart changed.

Not because he looked handsome in the rain.

Not because he acted like a hero.

But because he was kind when nobody was watching.

After the rain slowed down,he dropped her at street corner , she smiled and said " thank you for today ".

She run to her home. For lusi it became the day she would remember every time clouds filled the sky. And she spends summer holidays with thought of him only.

Next day, Lusi adjusted her school bag and walked slowly through crowded corridor of her school after summer holidays. Students were laughing, and running and the notice board was surrounded by excited students about their class section lists.

"Why are you walking like a turtle?" her best friend Rosy ask, pulling her hand.

"I am tired." Lusi said.

As they climbed the stairs, Rosy(her friend name) suddenly stopped.

"Hey look there,"she whispered dramatically.

Near the classroom window stood a tall boy in a neatly ironed uniform, speaking to a teacher. His hair moved slightly in the morning breeze, and he held a stack of books against his chest.

Lusi looked for only one second... But somehow forgot to blink after that.

"What is his name ? " Asked by Lusi. Her friend said that's Sam. Last year he got full marks in every subject".

Lusi stared again.

"Topper ?" Lusi repeated.

"Not just topper, " Rosy said. "Teachers love him. He wins quizzes, speeches, science fairs...everything". Lusi suddenly becomes conscious of her handwriting and unfinished holiday homework.

that's how their story started ....
