"Are you going to seat there all day? Tell me what's eating you up?" Luke asked with a heart felt concern again this time touching his shoulders slightly.

Instead of a cool and polite answer he expects, Harry slammed the table  furiously

"I hate being Poor!" he snarled

"Where is this coming from?" Luke asked with a surprise description written on his face.

"How dare he call me a poor hopeless thing before her?" he asked as if Luke was there in the scenario.

"Who? I am getting confused."

"I was just on my own behind the department of sociology hall when she rushed in and started to Cry, ... " he continued narrating the incident

"If that's what you want, you are not gonna have it." she added

"is it because of this Hopeless poor thing beside you?" he asked with total reference to Harry whose hand were still cross around her shoulder.

his question impacted definitely a strong blow on Harry's heart. That's one of the thing he abhorred so much. Being insulted and humiliated makes him feel Bad. He quickly took his hands off her and said to her as he stood up.

"i will be going now. I am not in the mood to exchange insults neither am i in the mood to entertain it. So take care of your self"

"why did you leave only the two of them there? Don't you know that guy can go crazy again?" Luke reprimanded

"I know but understand the situation, i hate it when i am being insulted especially before a girl. She might picture me as some thing else. So i did rather leave than to face more embarrassment" he replied

"You love her don't you?" Luke asked with his eyes digging his face for answer.

"Why asking?"
