Chapter 2-Part 4

Adam and Kristen were running together and they stopped to catch their breath and looked back, there was no one behind them. Both of them gave out a sigh of relief, but a sound suddenly made them jump, the sound was not that of a Bog Monster but then Kristen spotted something on a nearby tree. She and Adam went closer for a better look at what it was and were surprised to find a small puppy trapped on a branch, Kristen said,” Some monster must have left it there.”, she then asked Adam to climb that tree and help the poor little thing, Adam tried to argue that dogs could not climb trees and that a dog which could climb might not be ordinary but could also be dangerous, but as usual Kristen was adamant and said that something as cute and innocent looking as that puppy can never harm anyone,

Adam finally gave up and climbed the tree and went closer to the puppy, instead of barking it remained very calm which was even more surprising for Adam, so he grabbed the puppy and brought it down. In the moon light they could see that it was a young Labrador puppy light yellow in color. Kristen said,”Oh! You poor thing must have been clinging to that stupid branch for days, you look so tired and hungry” she thrust that pup into Adam’s hands and searched her pockets for something to feed the pup and found two cookies and both of them were given to the pup by her, the puppy ate it happily and Kristen again took the pup from Adam’s hands and cuddled the puppy for some time, strangely during all this time none of the bog monsters came that way Adam and Kristen started running again with the pup in their hands. As the path came to an end they could see all their classmates huddled together and all of them were looking terrified, even Adam and Kristen joined them clinging to the puppy, it was dead end so they could not go anywhere. Suddenly from a nearby bush the Bog Monsters jumped out and they looked bigger and meaner than ever.

He started reading the book he found the book interesting because in the book he found information about many things he never heard about, the book had information about everything from Pythagoras' Theorem to the scientific name of Blue Whale. Ravi spent hours reading and trying to remember anything and everything he could. Then after reading the book almost till the end he reached a chapter in the book which was called-" Love " and as any other chapter he continued reading the book but this was not a normal chapter, it was very different from the other chapters because it had no formulas, no scientific terms, no nothing but just assumptions and guesses. Ravi did not understand half of what he was reading and he wondered h...

“Pooja wake up, time to go to classes”, said a voice trying to wake up the half asleep girl to which the girl replied, “Mom today's the first day of school I don't want to go to Verma coaching institute at least once“ The girl's mother was now annoyed and sternly replied, “I don’t care if it’s your first day of school or not you are not going to miss even one day of coaching classes Pandu” That was it ”Mom don’t call me Pandu I am not 7 year old, I used to like it when I was little but now it’s strange so stop it and ok ok I will get ready soon” She quickly got ready and as usual her father dropped at the Coaching Center. He then said that he would come and pick her up after the classes and went away. Pooja was already late and she was walking fast towards the steps she stopped when she heard the footsteps of someone coming quickly towards her.

Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons were spent in gardening, digging dirt, planting saplings etc. but Pooja had to make up a lot of stories to come out of her house every week which included everything from " Special Classes At School to Visiting a Sick Friend ". One such Saturday evening while she was working on the Flower Beds near the Entrance Gate, she was working without a care in the world, Ravi came and joined her and they were working so hard that they got mud spots in many places on their faces and then Ravi asked Pooja,"Hey Pooja, how is it that you manage to come twice every week while others want to skip their share of work by giving some reasons." To this Pooja smiled shyly and replied,"Well Ravi the thing is that, I have a lot of childhood memories of playing in this green lot and I didn'...
