Chapter 1
?RIIIINNNGGGG!!!!? I was jerked out of dream world with the shrill ringing of the alarm clock. ?Goooooddd Moooorninggg..!!? came the sugar-sweet voice I so-hated?my sister, Riya. I turned to look at her fresh and peppy look, girl-genius and gorgeous model, super popular and parents? darling, a winning combination indeed! But it still didn?t seem fair that all these qualities were gifted to one single person in the family,? GOOD MORNING SISTAH!!? Correction, TWO people in the family. How could I forget my ?cute li?l brother Rohit??? I forced myself out of the bed on that not-so exciting morning which started off on a wonderful note with me coming face-to-face with the fact that my siblings were perfect beings and I wasn?t. Great start to this great day!
I murmured a nice, polite good morning by trying to wring my sister?s neck for setting the alarm clock on ultra-high mode and throwing a pillow at my brother for saying ?Gee?somebody?s J today..? and then getting dressed for?oh?I forgot to mention?this oh-so-perfect morning was also the day my school began after three months of vacation. My boards ended and I surprised everyone, as much as myself by managing a 91% in them-my boards I mean. OK, so it isn?t really a great achievement in my family, which has my sister scoring a 95% in her tenth and my brother never getting below a 94% in FIFTH, but hey! It?s me! I rushed down grabbing my bag on the way after getting into my uniform, trying to avoid my mom and sneak out of the door, when..."NO ONE leaves the house without breakfast..!!? and I was forced to turn around and grab a piece of toast, basically because my mom read this really weird article in the newspaper health section - which she follows as if it?s SRK?s next movie - that said that if a person doesn?t have breakfast before leaving in the morning, there?s a 90% chance of their developing Alzheimer?s or some such related disease, and don?t ask me how it is that THAT happens but it supposedly does! So anyway, I was forced to grab a piece of toast and then waving goodbye to my mom, giving my dad a big kiss, I rushed down the apartment stairs to catch the honking school bus.
As I walked in, I took my usual place next to Allie; my heart began beating with the familiar first-day feeling, because no mater how normally my day had started, there was no denying it that another year had began, a New Session-and even though all New Session First Day?s started like this, it still felt good to be going back to school, not that anything special would happen this year-or at least that?s what my mind was saying. Little did I know I couldn?t have been farther from the truth!
