Part 1:
FLASHBACK
The diary entry as written on 10th June 2010 => Dubbed as 'fatefully lucky day'
It was the first of Class 11. It was a new day, a new beginning. I walked with my head down, not wanting to face anyone (I'd fought with my best friend during the holidays, which was not good considering the fact that she knew EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING about me) or talk about anything to anybody. There, I'd spotted my best friend, Gunjan! She was talking to somebody else (someone I didn't recognise) and I decided I was gonna hide.
Too late! She'd seen me. Damn! I couldn't go anywhere else now, so I went straight up to her. We stood there, me looking at her and she glaring at me for about half-a-minute after which I couldn't bear it anymore and hugged her. She reciprocated equally but I guess, still wasn't ready to talk (Well, I had a plan to deal with that). I finally realised that my bag was still on my shoulders and went to my (new) class to put it there. I saw Gunjan's bag there. It was easy to recognise that one, it was SURELY the only bag with N + G = BFFs on it! (I'd sketched that on her bag, she'd sketched the same on mine.)
She wasn't in class then! It made it easier for to develop on my plan. It involved my going to the IDIOT, Sheena (Oops! The 'Student Council President' when we were in Class X. Not any more, though. She was responsible for the students only till the new President wasn't elected) and talk to her, in front of Gunjan. I knew that she practically hated and detested Sheena (and frankly, so did I. She was nothing but a snooty idiot. But as they say, circumstances force people to do things they hate doing). If I'd go and talk to Sheena, my bestie'd get bugged! Go figure!! (I know that you think I'm crazy, but hello?? Fact of life 1: I AM crazy!)
I went up to Sheena (in FRONT of Gunjan), gave her my best smile and told her "Hi".
"Uh... Hi LOSER!" (GOD! The things I have to do for A)
"Hope you had a great holiday." I said with the sweetness a person talks with when he/she wants to slap the opposite person but can't.
"Of course! I went out with Samrat" she paused to sigh, "almost every day. I thought you knew that."
"Obviously." I said in a dry voice. "Obviously, I'd know where my brother's going, right?" (That's right! Fact of life 2: My brother's girlfriend was the girl I hated.)
"Hmmph!" she said in her best snooty voice. "I guess you're right. Anyway, I'll miss your brother ya." She sniffled and I tried hard not to giggle.
"Yeah. I guess he misses you too." (Notice the usage of the word 'guess'. The reason was that I wasn't too sure Samrat loved Sheena. Actually, he seemed to be disgusted with her these days. Hehe!!!)
"Of course! I understand!" (Understand what?!?!) "He's not well, but that's ok! Let him come back. I'll see him then." (Oh, my brother not being well is OK with you, is it? STUPID girl! How dare she?)
Wait a minute. I'd not let her leave this matter this way! Oh, come on! I'm SAMRAT's sister after all. I need to exercise my authority (of being the MOST IRRITATING PERSON IN THE WORLD's sister). I'd trouble her, and THEN, laugh over the whole thing with Gunjan. Oh! I'd come to talk to Sheena about something ELSE, not about my useless and irritating brother. Change the topic, girl, and soon!
"But, Sheena, you could drop in at my house, ANY TIME. You're always welcome (AS IF) to my house." Don't laugh! Don't laugh!
"Uh... yeah, thanks. I'll take your leave now. I need to go."
"Oh! That reminds me! I wanted to ask if I could take over the assembly message and all that today."
She smiled as if a HUGE burden had been lifted off her shoulders. "Sure! I don't mind at all. I'll get the matter for you, just a minute." Now that I was doing a favour to her, she'd be all polite with me, for a day or so. Then, everything would be perfectly normal. Hah!
She returned in a minute (and 10 more. Don't worry, she could NEVER be right.).
"Here you go, all the matter required. You just have to read them out."
"Oh, thanks. Thanks a lot!"
"No, thank YOU. I'm so happy you are helping me out. (Yeah, right!) I'll be grateful ya! Ok, then! Bye, LOSER... Oops! I mean, Nupur."
"Bye (IDIOT)!"
With that, I got rid of that girl! How I hated her! Ugh!!!!
The bell rang right above my head, and I realised that I had to go to the news announcement room, to read out what Sheena had given me, and much more. Gunjan came up to me and pulled my hand (in order to take me back to class, I guess) but I refused and said that I had to read out today's articles.
"Oh, so you're beginning to give more importance to Miss. 'goody-two-shoes' Sheena than me, huh? Enjoy your slavery!" She smirked and walked away (I knew that she was angry, worse still, I knew I was at fault).
Ugh! I had to solve this problem! AND soon!!! I went the announcement room to announce all the announcements (I hate announcing the word 'announce' so many times.).
"Hello! St. Xavier's welcomes to yet another exciting (Yeah, right!) and fun-filled year. Hope you all had a 'rocking' holiday and you all are back refreshed, rejuvenated and recharged to face yet another challenging year ahead. The teachers and faculty are eager to meet you all, again. Hope you guys are too. And to ALL those newbies at St. Xavier's, we assure you, this is going to become your second home! It is indeed a pleasure to have you all back here, as the school felt very empty without you all. Once again, St. Xavier's welcomes you! I have a few announcements to make today, please listen to them carefully. One, please wear your proper school uniform from day one, as you represent the school. Please do NOT give others an opportunity to talk rubbish about the school. Two, a canteen has been inaugurated this year. Please feel free to use the canteen whenever you're hungry, but do make sure that it is NOT a place for to bunk classes whenever you wish. Three, participating in sports is important but make sure that you need to concentrate on your studies, too. And last, but certainly not the least, I, Nupur of Class XI wants to apologise to Gunjan, of Class XI. These are all the announcements for the day. Thank you."
With this, I walked back to my class, feeling rather low (the reason being – I wasn't too sure whether the plan would be successful or not). I went and sat beside Adhiraj, who was a close friend of mine AND Samrat's best friend ( Fact of life 3: There are many unanswered questions in life. Unanswered question 1: How can an idiot's (Samrat's) best friend be such a nice guy?). As I couldn't talk in class, I passed a chit to him.
Did she listen to the announcements? What was her reaction?
Her jaw dropped! Quite literally! Samrat will be proud of you when I tell him you pulled off such a stunt!
YES! I knew it would work! Let me know if she TELLS something about this to you.
Yeah, sure! Let her get out of that shock first.
Before I could reply to his message, there was another announcement.
"Could Ms. Nupur, of class XI, immediately report to the Principal's office?"
