The boy was startled by Ivory who did not giving a reply for his compliment.
He hurryly went forward and stopped her again. Ivory got irrated but her behavior and looked at him angryly.
He went forward and immediately asked "hey I actually complimented you but you did not say anything, it's ok if you don't thank me but at least a ok is also fine".
" Oh.. you were saying it to me I didn't know....." Ivory said irritatedly. The boy was shocked and puzzled by her response and he didn't expected this response.
Ivory continued and asked " Do you know me ?". The boy shook his head. " Ok you don't know me even I don't know you so who asked you for the compliment. I know I am ugly for others but I love myself and for me I am beautiful and I don't want others pitty ok " Ivory spoke with full of anger.
The boy was shocked to hear everything Ivory said and came to know that she had misunderstood his intensions.
He hurryly said " oh sorry sorry you actually got it wrong I did not had any bad intensions in complimenting you and I didn't pitty you and I am not that kind of a boy. I actually passed by you saw you smiling to a baby now and I truly felt you are beautiful so I said you.

Hearing her words the boy smiled " Plz don't discriminate yourself because the skin tone will not decide whether she is beautiful or not and I am truely saying you you are beautiful "
Ivory thanked him without any expression.
The boy frowned " you can actually thank me with a smile because you look very beautiful when you smile". The boy said flatteringly.
