Chapter One: That Girl

Vishalakshi

Years ago when I met her for the first time, I'd turned my face away from her, like everyone else. She was really not my type, I told all my friends. Her name was Chayya Sharma, she was a quiet, introvertish and boring girl, who was just looking for some friends. But it seemed there was either no one weird enough or brave enough to befriend her. Everyone was happy with their already formed friend circles. Even the loners found reasons to avoid her.

Her features were sharp, no doubt, but the huge eyebrows, boy-like moustache, and the fat middle made her look quiet unattractive to the eyes, especially when everyone around came from rich households and looked almost dolll like. I knew the discrimination people made due to looks were unfair, and that I could say since I was no Angeline Joulie. But atleast I wasn't as bad looking as her, I comforted myself. I dint have those sharp features that she possessed, no doubt, but neither did I possess those disgusting eyebrows or that scary moustache.

I avoided her just like everyone else, scared that she would want to become my friend and as a consequence of that, my already meager popularity would go right down the road. But my worries were baseless. We were sorted into different sections in school. I went to section 3 and she went to section 1.

From time to time I would pass her in the corridors, standing alone and friendless. I wondered if she recognized me, but I knew the answer, for her I'd become a part of the crowd, the crowd that made her feel like a faceless entity, a crowd that avoided her like she was scum, a crowd that broke her tiny heart into pieces, something that I dint come to understand for many years from then. I sometimes wondered if I should talk to her, and make her my friend, but like I said, I was a coward, I never really did want to be outside the in-crowd. And so I dint approach her. Not once, even though inside my instincts told me to, but I dint.

The last I saw of her was when she'd finally made some friends, but by that time, that little girl had drawn up so many walls around herself that it would've been extremely hard to reach to her and make her feel a change. Not like anyone really wanted to, but still.

It was six years later, when I was 12 years old, that I saw chayya Sharma again. She hadn't changed in the least, shy, quiet and as disgusting looking as possible. She and a couple of other new comers had been transferred to our section.

I sometimes wondered if Chayya would look any better if she went to a parlour, and got some waxing and threading done, but it was impossible now to think of chayya without her hair.

Along with her from section 1 came, Sadhana Kapoor, Meenaxi Mathur and Varun Pathan, all of them instantaneous hits. They all looked so amazing and were so outspoken that nobody really bothered to notice Chayya.

It was an year later when Chayya had just entered her teens that I started noticing changes in her, she became more outspoken, she started taking part in debates and surprisingly she was amazing at arguing, her sly and scared walk suddenly turned confident and open. She befriended three girls in our class, Eva, Avani and Tara. They were quiet a popular gang. And one member of their gang had just left the school, Pavi, and so Chayya took her place.

But I still couldn't get myself to talk to her.

It was when I turned 14 that I talked to Chayya for the first time. We were working in the lab, and I'd gotten the wrong observations and so I'd gone and asked her for help. The warmth of her prescence took me off guard. That was where it had all started.

It took her time, but she slowly started opening up to me. Two years later, we were inseperable. Nobody would talk of Chayya without thinking of Vishalakshi and vice versa. I still wonder sometimes, when I'd gotten this lucky as to have her in my life, lest as my best friend. Ours was the friendship that nobody could ever understand. They all predicted we would be separate and off in our own worlds within months, but that was where they were all wrong.

We're still going strong, and this is something that was never gonna end.

On her fifteenth birthday I dragged her with me to the parlour. She really needed to get some waxing and threading done. Eva and Avani had turned up too. They wanted to see how she ended up looking.

Our imaginations weren't put to use for long. Within an hour she was back outside, and when I saw her, I could hardly recognize her. She looked so beautiful. Eva and Tara were gaping at her too.

She was an instant hit in school, all the guys suddenly wanted to go on a date with her, which included all those people who had once avoided her because of the self-same looks. But Chayya though had been altered in her looks, was still the same shy quiet girl, who took ages to warm up to anyone. And without anyone's knowledge, she had already laid her eyes on Varun Pathan.

"He's the only guy Vish, who noticed me when no one else did. He was the only guy who treated me like a human if nothing else when everyone else turned blind eye to me." She would explain to me.

Without anyone else's knowledge Chayya had liked Varun since she had been 12, something which astonished me to the limits of all possibility. It broke her heart all over again, when he started dating Preksha.

When Chayya turned 16, she shifted from Mumbai to Goa.

And I dint hear from her for ages. Even when we did talk, it seemed so distant, It made me feel all alone.

Last month when I'd turned 18, Chayya had given me the news. The results of our entrances were out. And we were so in. I couldn't help but jump around the room in glee at the thought of going to the same college as Chayya. Atleast I'd have her, if no one else.

I had no idea how strangely everything was going to fall in place in such less a time.
