NOTE:-
1. Those who could not understand, the poem in the 1st post in blue was MAAN's POV (though it will be later) & the PROLOGUE monologue in red is GEET's POV.
2. I am writing this first chapter in a different way, where characters introduces themselves & talks to reader MOST OF THE TIME (u will understand i hope) . Bt this is ONLY for the 1st chapter
Chapter 1- The day i met her
Hi! i am pinki,Geet's bestest friend.I am waiting for her here at the school entrance. Geet ko to app jante hi honge..NAHI JANTE!! Areee she is the most popular girl in the school,Class representative, class me no 1,most beautiful cheerful, always helping others, no one has ever seen her sucking at all ! She is an ideal to us & our parents always says..be like her, she never frowns,always smiles..ho vi kyu na.. GEET ALWAYS SAYS, THAT HER PARENTS PAMPERS HER THE MOST.
Bt her bro is really stupid, always fails bt don't know where that arrogance comes from...

I am geet, i know that Pinki, my best friend must have told u about me. By now u know na..that this geet which the people knows is facade. It is painful to live like this, always lying to friends & teachers ..bt i don't want to ashame my parents, specially my mommy,I love mommy,bt mommy hates me...so silly of me crying here at this room, thank god there is no one here...Bt i promise,sacchi, Babaji ki kasam...i will try harder this time so that mommy loves me.
Uh!! About that black spot on my cheek, mommy bit me yesterday, cause i was so stupid that i could not get 100 out of 100 in hindi, i am sooo stupid.. Bt pls don't tell this to anyone...
she exited the store room only to see it is pouring heavily..
BABAJI!! ab kya hoga!! koi nahi geet! U can run across the field to the classroom, so i will not get drenched badly ..haina babaji..so she started to run
Bt the rain had made the field muddy & slippery..so she fell...
*****
I am maan. This is my first day to this school as a teacher.MAN!!! i can't believe!! i am going to live my dream!! I am really going to teach the children!!!I hope everything goes well & the students like me. The minute he thought that rain started pouring heavily.
SHIT!! This rain!! Thank GOD, daadi shoved an umbrella in my hand on the last minute...
He opened the umbrella & heard ...SPLASH!!!!
His head turned into that direction.
A girl was in the middle of the field,sitting in a puddle of water..
maybe she fell,he went to help that girl.
He saw that girl was struggling to get up...maybe she her leg twisted.
he rapidly went by her side..the girl looking was downwards trying to figure a way to stand...she didn't notice him.
he extended his umbrella on her head..so that it was now partially giving shelter to both of them..
Ahem..need any help??
nahi i am ok,u go to ur class u will be late na, teacher will scold u..the girl said still her head bent on her leg,examining it.
he wanted to laugh..This girl!!
he chuckled... she is thinking i am a school boy!!!
Ahem ahem, actually i am the new teacher, so i will not get scolded...
he said teasingly,wanting his 1st student to loosen up to him,
Good going maan!! like this u can win the hearts of the student & teach them better.he thought.
Bt all his smile died in his lips the moment the girl raised her head to look at him, his throat choked with pain...
that girl...though she was not crying or making faces...why ..WHY i saw so much pain in those eyes?! No..it was not the pain of twisted legs, the pain in her eyes was bigger...MUCH BIGGER!
