" Clover didn't speak. " What's Up With you, Clover? Why did you Pause? " I asked. " Well, nothing's wrong, it's just that I heard From People ( Rumors ) that the Kidnappers demanded a huge Sum of money from the government as Ransom and since the money hasn't been paid, the kids are still in captivity. " She Replied. " Oh! , It's so obvious that that's the case so why are you so worried? , Please talk to me, Clover. " I pleaded. " What if we end up being Kidnapped by the Bandits, Mia?, What are we going to do then? , How are we going to escape? , How are we going to graduate? , What would happen to us then, Mia?

" Don't worry, we are in this together " I replied, Patting her back, Clover Nodded. ..... The maths lesson was very interesting that day, The topic was Matrix. I was confused at first looking at the Brackets and Figures but I understood, later on, the Easiest one was the Transpose of a matrix which was obtained by changing rows to columns or columns to the row. The Lesson lasted for three hours Straight after which the Bell for Snacks Break was Rung. During the break, as I and Clover were Shopping for Snacks one of our School girls approached us, she was a Junior year student. " Good Morning, Senior Mia " She greeted. " Good Morning, How are you? " I replied, despite not knowing her. " Am fine, my name is Mary, a junior year one student. " She said, introducing herself. " Oh! Mary, such a nice name, btw, how may I help you? " I asked her. " Well, I... " She paused. " I, what? You can talk to me, you know. " I said. " Okay, Actually, I need help with my Studies. " She said " In what way, darling? " I asked, Smiling Brightly. " Can you be Tutoring me, When you are free, if you don't mind, please? " She asked. " Well... " " Our final Exams are coming up in Two months, Mia, we've got a lot to Study, Remember? " Clover interrupted me mid-sentence. " I know, clover but... " " But what, Mia?, What more important than studying for your final exams" Clover inquired. " Please calm down Clover, I am aware of the fact that I have to study for my final exams but that doesn't mean that I can't help a student in need, Tutoring her will Also be of benefit to me too as I would be Refreshing my memory and it also wouldn't be a long one alright. " I Said, in an attempt to convince Clover. " But that would be taking our free time, Mia " Clover Refuted. " It won't Clover. " I replied. ' You don't have to be jealous Mia ' I said to her through my eyes. ' Whatever ' She Said, rolling her eyes. " So it's decided That I'll be Tutoring you, Mary, what time Are you always free? " I asked her. " Around Prep time, (2 pm - 3 pm) " She replied. " Okay, we'll be meeting at the school library. " I said. " Okay " " When are we starting? " I asked her. " We can start tomorrow, Thursday. " She replied. " Hmmmn... Can we start on Monday?, I will be having Physics and Chemistry Practical on Thursday and Friday this week. " I said. " Alright, thanks for agreeing to tutor me. " She replied, Sincerely. " It's no problem " I replied Patting her. " Okay, thanks again," she said. " You, Welcome " I replied. " Bye, Senior " she waved as she left. When Mary left, I turned to Clover. " Stop, giving me that look, Mia, I know what you want to say. " Clover Said before I Could Speak. " Oh! You do? So why are you always so inconsiderate? Clover? " I asked her. " I am not, it's just that I am so afraid of you leaving me one day for Someone else, and you promised to assist me with the biology Diagrams during Prep Time. " Clover Replied, in self-defense. " I am aware of that, I am going to create Time for that, Clover, as the fact that I made a promise to you remains, you don't have to worry, I'll keep my promise. " I replied. " Thanks, Mia, you are the Best! " Clover Replied Grinning as she threw herself at me and Pecked my cheeks.
