Part 1 - The First Meet

Day 1- June 13, 2014: The first ever recess.

"You can't jump straight to the end. The journey is the best part"- Robin Scherbatsky, How I Met Your Mother

The first thing that struck me about the canteen was blue. The walls were blue and so were the waitresses' uniforms. The tables and chairs too were shades of blue. The only things not blue were the students' uniforms which were of different colors for different houses.

The second thing was how filled the canteen was. I could barely spot three empty seats in the entire canteen. One was at a table where the entire group was playing cards, the second was at a table where each and every person was writing something frantically, and the third was a guy was sitting alone, eating his food calmly.

Deciding that the guy was the safest option available which will prevent me from going insane, I walked up to the food counter and grabbed a bread and omelet. I placed the tray on the new found table, raising many eyebrows, including the guy's who was seated there.

I again felt like I was part of a movie, a dramatic one in this case where everyone gasps when a new person sits next to the untouchable or the bad boy of the school. I hoped he wasn't since he looked normal.

"Why are you sitting here?" he asked me, generating hushed whispers all around me. I felt like screaming Is this Mean Girls 3 you idiots? Shut up and carry on with your lives,' but I didn't, because this wasn't Mean Girls and I wasn't the lead in some stupid movie.

As I realized that I had zoned out, I looked at the guy who was giving me weird looks. "Err, sorry, what was your question again?" I asked him. He continued looking at me like I was some alien and took his time before he answered, "Why are you sitting here?"

"Never mind, there's hardly five minutes left so let me just finish eating my breakfast. Thank you for letting me sit here," I rambled and started eating. Those five minutes were the most enlightening five minutes of my life.

I noticed the different shades of blue such as sky, light, turquoise and many more which I did not know. The omelet became the most interesting thing in my periphery of vision. I could still feel his eyes on me. So I continued observing the omelet. I cut the omelet into a small square and cut the bread into the same size. Slowly, I picked up the omelet with my fork and placed it on the bread, eating it like a sandwich. Seeing that he was still staring at me, I continue eating that way, just a wee bit quicker. As I was eating, my eyes saw everywhere but him. There was one thing in this school which was not in most, uniformity, you could see everyone dressed the same way, and no one was trying to show off. Frustrated with my omelet for being so big, I cursed it under my breath, earning a small laugh from him.

As I was almost done, I could hear a guy apologizing to some girl behind me and smiled to myself, immediately stopping the cursing. The guy stopped laughing, probably thinking that I was weird to suddenly go from angry to happy.

Just as I was done eating, the bell rang. Thanking every god (yes, I tended to thank them a lot, since they saved me from any kind of mishap) for not forcing me into talking to the guy, I simply said a, "Meet you in lunch" and sped away to my class. I got lost in between, but anything to get away from that guy.

It completely drained out of my brain that you were going to update today 😆

Recess

Prologue

Gems Academia High, the one school everyone wanted to get into, not only because it had all the privileges, but also because only the best taught here and whoever got in, were assured they were the best. You may be the richest kid on this planet, but without the talent, you aren't getting in here. The students were the best in studies and the best in sports. I fell into the latter category but I wasn't too bad at the former either. first para itself hooks you to the story. Ah haan, in shord Riddhima is a genius here :P an all rounder to me precise. I likes it ^_^

As I entered through the gates of the school for the first time, I felt like I was part of some overdramatic movie where the entry was stretched for ten wasted minutes. But then, I did walk slowly, mainly due to the heavy load famously known as a school bag. This reminds me of my my school days 😔 OVER DRAMATIC MOVIE? LMAOOO 🤣

I didn't like one aspect of this school though. I still had to study. All I wanted to do was go out and play sports. Be it any kind of sport, basketball, football, volleyball, throw ball and my favorite, tennis. I'd gotten into this school because I was ranked number one nationally in tennis. It wasn't easy, but it was worth it. Intresting 😳 Ah hannn

As I entered the school and went past its walls, the first things I noticed were the lush greens on either side of the path. Greens would be putting it too broadly; there were flowers as well as trees. Basically, it looked like a hill station with it's perfectly cut grass and the fresh feel it gave. [/B] this has been described beyond perfectly. It makes me wanna visit the campas, if it's for real that is 😛 [/B]

As I strode ahead, I saw a wooden signboard on the right side of the path with directions to the hostel, main building, football field, tennis court, swimming pool and all other venues. My heart urged me to turn right and head towards the tennis court but my mind; my evil mind forced me to move straight to the main building. adat se majboor. This reminds me of myself. Whenever i meet someone for the first time, my eyes flicker towards their teeth rather than the face. 🤣 here, it's tennis for riddhima 🤣

Entering the building, I turned to see if there were any signboards here when suddenly; a shrill tone rang above my head, startling me and my poor eardrums. My eyes fell on the clock in front of me to see that it was already 9:30, indicating that two classes were already over. I turned the sheet in my hand to see which classes I had missed. On reading double physics, I thanked all the gods above that I was late.

Quickly skimming through the map, I saw that my class was on the second floor. Usually, I would have been gleefully happy due to the exercise I was undergoing but the bag wasn't making it any easier for me. Sighing, I dragged my feet up the stairs and found my classroom.

The class was eerily quiet and no one was to be found. Seeing that two of the last seats were unoccupied, I placed my bag there and since it was recess, I followed the map to the canteen. I was a sportswoman; I needed all the food I can get. And I hoped my luck would be as good as today's. After all, who liked Physics? i hate physics too ;P thankfully I'm through it 🤣

Seems to be interesting

Second part, hope you like it 😃
Read and comment :)
SanDhir ka kal :P

Part 2 - The Aftereffects

Day 1- June 13, 2014: The classes between recesses.

"Listen to what the universe is saying. And take the leap." - Lily Aldrin, How I Met Your Mother

I was shocked when that girl sat at my table. In fact, shocked would be an understatement. No one, no one dared to sit at that table except for our gang. No, it wasn't because we were the rich gang or the snobby one; it was because we intimidated them. Being the captains of the school did earn you that kind of respect, and I, being the school captain managed to scare everyone unintentionally.

As I reached my classroom, I saw Rahul and Nikki rushing towards me, leaving their work aside for a moment. My whole gang had chosen this one day not to come for recess because they were too lazy to do their assignments at home. Jiggy, being the sports captain and Nikki, being a house captain, and my other friends being other captains were the main targets for each teacher.

"Armaan, some girl sat at our table?" Rahul immediately asked me, without wasting any time since our teacher could be here any moment. Seeing that I didn't reply, Nikki immediately jumped in to answer, "I told you Rahul, don't believe in such idiotic rumors. There is no one awesome enough to sit at our table, right Armaan?"

"Err, Nikki, someone actually did. I don't know her name, she blatantly ignored me and kept eating and observing people," I told her, only to receive a smack on the head from her.

"Someone actually sat there and you couldn't tell me you fool! I want to meet the brave-heart now. Do you at least know how old she is and whether she is in our batch?" she asked me. Just when I was about to reply, our Physics professor came in. Usually, she was in a good mood but today, she seemed to be in an exceptionally bad mood.

Through the one hour, we figured out that apparently, some student of hers in the 11^th grade has bunked her class and hence, she was in a bad mood. As a result, she decided to obliterate our minds by putting pressure on it, namely, by giving us a surprise test and earning us two assignments. Cursing that girl with all my heart, I wrote down the assignments and got ready for the test. Suffices to say, the test was tough, even for me.

By the end of the lecture, everyone in our class were determined to find out who the girl was and make her experience hell while I was stuck in my own personal hell with my friends' interrogation. Since we had Physical Training the next hour, my friends took it as an opportunity to irritate me in between the match.

I usually went straight to the basket ball court on such occasions but I decided to play volley ball today with the juniors. We barely won the first half by 2 points but they thrashed us in the second half. In the end, the opponent team won though it was very tight. Since Rahul and Abhi were in the opposite team, they teased me. Well, Abhi teased me and Rahul was still hell-bent on knowing about this girl.

After I finally convinced him that I had no idea about this girl, Nikki came along after her match was done and started pestering me. I tried and tried but she refused to listen and when she finally did, it was too late. The girl was stuck in my mind and I was searching for a way to remove her.

I was thankful that the next two classes were Biology and Mathematics because I'd already gone through what we were about to study but that was the sole saving grace. And to the bitter gourd on top of the cake was recess, his friends decided they will stand outside the canteen just to find out who the girl was so once again, he was stuck all alone at the table. He just hoped that some other seats would be empty. Hope, that's all her had right now and his chances weren't looking too bright either.

Happieesss :)
