Handwriting

As soon as Asif entered the door of the classroom today, he felt several eyes looked straight at him. He put down the bag from his hand and asked Saba cautiously, "Classmate, did you sit in the wrong seat?"

Saba who were sitting in Asif's seat replied in a friendly manner, "Oh, I must have sit in the wrong position." Although Saba said so, it doesn't look like she was willing to change position. Asif stood there awkwardly.

"Why are you standing there?" Asif said in her heart, because you took my seat. But did not say that out loud, "Did I offend you guys again?"

"Saba, enough of fun. Let Asif sit down." Saba reluctantly got up after hearing Kifayat's solemn tone. She just wanted to have tease the boy for a while.

After Asif sat down, Kifayat asked him straight forwardly, if he lied about anything yesterday. After hearing his denial, she was in deep thoughts. The problem Kifayat doesn't think any of them is lying but their words are contradictory.

"I have something to ask, let's talk later." Kifayat went to her seat after she finished talking. Some of the boys in class become envious of Asif and started to tease him.

"What's up, Asif. Recently you are very popular."

"Me, popular?" Asif pointed fingers at himself as if puzzled.

"Don't pretend, we have seen that you are hanging out with the class monitor and her friends."

"It is not true. She just have something to ask me." The classmates looked at him with disabelieving eyes. Asif felt that he can't explain it no matter what he says. So he let them say what they wanted.

"Hey, why are you bothering him?" Lia scolded the boy who kept asking questions to Asif. The boy stopped talking after seeing it's Lia. Asif thanked Lia but she just pretended not to see it.

"I did not do it for you. He was just annoying."

Asif nodded as he also agreed with Lia.

After the class bell rang, everyone immediately run towards the canteen. Asif was also about to go. But Saba stopped him. "Let's go together."

Asif was afraid of the gossip that might circulate. He kept fidgeting. " Don't want to?"

Saba squinted her eyes at Asif. It looked like if he dared to disagree, she would immediately beat him up. Nobody in the school does not know about Saba's heroic deed and awesome fighting power.

"Okay, don't always threaten people, Saba. Ask him nicely." Although Lia said so her tone was not much different from Saba.

At the end Asif agreed to go with them.

In the canteen, Asif sat between Lia and Saba which drew attention of many people. Asif is very famous for not getting along with girls. So it is a rare sights to see him sitting between two girls.

Lia asked Asif who was feeling a little uncomfortable. "Why are you not eating?"

"Everyone is looking at me."

"Does have anything to do with your eating?"

"No, just.." before he could finish speaking Lia gave him one of her chicken legs and told him to eat.

"Don't think too much. It is because I took all the meat, you did not get one. So I am giving you as a compensation."

" No, no need," At first Asif refused to take her food, later accepted seeing her insistance.

On the other hand, her three friends Kifayat, Cyra and Saba was dumbfounded looking at this scene. When Lia sometimes starts to diet, while dieting she usually ignores snacks but one thing that she was never able to give up was Chicken.

Lia loves eating chicken more than anything else. Suddenly giving up one of her chicken legs to a classmate, all her three friends is really shocked.

When Lia went back to eat her food again, she saw the three of them were looking at her with meaningful eyes. She moved a little unnaturally. "What?"

The three of them did not embarrassed her in front of Asif. But they took a note. After launch, Kifayat asked Asif, if he saw the person who gave her letter today.

"No, he didn't come." Asif thought she was asking because of the contact information.

"Well, Asif are you sure that person is not from our school?"

"Well I am sure. They looked like college students. They are much taller than me."

"It's because you are short. You feel the are taller than you."

Asif,"....."

"They did not wear any school dress."

"Did not you say that they are delinquents. Of course they would not follow school rules."

"But... does it matter it's they are from our school or not. They only passed the letter of someone else."

"Oh.. what!"

Asif was surprised by their sudden exclamation. "It is not them who letter?"

Asif shook her head. "Why don't you tell me before."

"You did not ask." It's true that Kifayat only asked who told him to deliver the letter to her.

"Next time you meet them, remember to tell us." Asif nodded in response.

Kifayat went to the teacher's room to give the homework of the students with Saba. While walking,

Saba asked Kifayat, " Why do you think that boy is mobilizing so many person just to give you letters? If not for the handwriting I would have thought that these are from different persons."

Kifayat stopped. Suddenly something flashed in her mind. Yes, handwriting. If she checks the handwriting she can make sure if it is from someone in their schools. Even if there is a chance that he asked someone else to write, at least the writer can be found.

"I have an idea. Let's go to check the handwriting of everyone in the school." As she spoke, a meaningful smile appeared on her face, her bright eyes narrowed slightly.

"Huh, Our class is okay. how are you going to check the students of other class handwriting?"

After a while, They arrived at the store room of their school where all the unnecessary stuff is kept. "What are we doing here, now?"
