Part One
'Tuuud-tuuuud-tuuud-tuuud', I've always hated the sound of my alarm clock. And didn't I just go to bed!? Sometimes I manage to turn it off in my sleep without even noticing it. Well, that wasn't the case today. And as if it wasn't already cold enough my mum pulled the blanket away.
'Oh Mamaaa! I'm awake. I'm awake!'
'Then stand up Vidya beti. Or do you want to get late on your first day!?'
Oh no! Don't remind me of that. I was searching for my houseshoes with my eyes closed and lumbered to the bathroom while I formed my stroppy hair to a ponytail. Yeah! I was happy that the heater wasn't on; otherwise I would have stopped there to warm myself for another half an hour. When I brushed my teeth I had to think about the upcoming things this day. First day! Indeed! First day in the new college. I would have done anything if I could haven gotten rid of this day. I'm not really flexible in things like that. The college itself isn't that bad. Of course not; after all my little sister is there too although she's four years behind. But! The pupils! Yeah, they're normal pupils like in every other school too; just that they're a little more intelligent. The thing which really scared me is that they knew each other for already 5 years. Five long year. They grew up together. Like one big family. And now I've to accompany them for one year before we've got different courses in the next 12th grade. A knocking at the door brought me back to reality.
'Vidya! Are you ready. Make fast, after all Nimi also has to go.'
Nimi! My only and four years younger sister I have. She, of course, wasn't that excited and also hadn't this bad mood I had, because she had been in her class from the beginning.
'Yeah Mama, I'm ready in five minutes.'
At 7.18 am we both were standing at the bus stop.
'Nimi. I really don't want. I want back to my old class; which is no more.'
'Come on Vidya. See it positve. You get a chance to start again. And you'll get more stuff to learn', she said showing me her mischievous grin.
'Hahaha. You're the joke of today. You know how difficult it'll be for me to settle in there. I'm way too shy. And for most of the people that's the first impression they get of me. And so they think I'm just like that and not different.' I sighed - long and maybe too loud.
'Let them think what they want. I know who you are. And i'm sure once you find friends there, everything is going to be just as easy as the air. Even the study.'
'Of course', Everything is going to be easy. IF I even find friends. Well, I really didn't think so. But I was sure I'd find out soon about it.
'Oh the bus!'
'Too full.'
'No man. It's cold outside here.'
'Look Nimi, you can take this one. But it's definitely too full for me; I'll wait.'
'Uff!'
So we took the third bus to school. And so a new journey began in my life.
