V: No, I am not. Tell me, what is up with you all day?K: What is up with me? What is up with you? Why are you behaving like this now?V: Behaving like ...hat?K: Ignoring me all day, not talking normally and then pushing me aside in the afternoon.Vani was silent. Karan almost shouted, “Don’t give me this silent treatment, say something!”“I don’t know, Karan. I don’t know what to say. What happened last night, shouldn’t have happened after all.” Karan wanted to speak up but Vani shushed him.V: I am. I followed him to the school’s law library one afternoon. He was sitting in a corner by himself, typing up an assignment on his typewriter. I observed him for a while, then decided to ‘accidentally’ bump into him. My elbow nudged his ribs while I walked by and he looked up from what he was typing. He looked me up and down, then raised his eyebrows. Smiling, I apologized for bumping into him. He smiled and told me everything was alright. Then he seemed to realize something. I waited, and it came. We live Ona street and all the families were of a similar age. Which meant as k**s we all grew up together and everyone got on so well. It was possible back then to not have to lock your doors because everyone trusted each other.anyway there was a girl living across the road from us. I had the front bedroom of our house which looked straight into Diane’s window. As k**s we grew up together and we always walked to and from school together.in a way she was my school girl romance.we had kissed and. "Theres a race to watch." Sure thing. Your room?" asked Kevin."Yes, now come on. I think it's on in the next ten minutes."The television had been left on, so when they got there, they had anidea of how long they had till the race began."Never mind the interviews!" cried Paul. "Just get on with the race."Kevin was still in awe at Paul's appearance. However, Paul was glued tothe screen and took no notice. Seeing that Paul was not in the mood totalk, Kevin decided to follow suit and pay full.
