I vaguely remember the day of admission at the school. My aunt was with me and we bumped into her friend from college, she was apparently a parent of my soon to be classmate Daisy.
I remember seeing so many faces down the corridor but all of that faded once my sight were fixed on you. I can't tell how happy I was to see you there. That day at home I told everyone that i saw you back at the school. After a few days i started to go to school, let's say, it was hectic for my parents in the mornings.
The teacher, she looked exactly like my neighbour and was so sweet. I didn't see him in my class, I was a little upset, then I saw Harry and Austin, I was happy to see a familiar faces among those many unknowns.
After two periods there was a ten minute break so everybody was out so I started to look for him in other classes, and there he was, with the smile that unknowingly makes me smile too, he was standing outside of his class. Finding him almost took all of my break time, so I didn't get the chance to say anything.
After two more periods there was lunch break, but I found it different from the first break, the nannies come and take us out in line to a hall were we all sat down and ate our lunch. I was a slow eater, so I finished late and got barely any time to see him. I always hated the lunchtime, it was all crowded and food here and there and the passage to the hall was narrow and dark.
The next break after two periods, I ran out of the class and waited for him to get out of his class. But when I saw him I couldn't move I just stand there and watched him afar. I was not a shy type, atleast back then I was not. It was not shy that I felt, It was something else, a fullness that can't be explained, I knew it was enough for me just to see him. So that's what I did, everyday from that day on I would see him at the breaks. And I don't ever remember talking to him back then.
It was around that time I made my first friend, Violet. She was nice, I remember getting scolded by the teacher for talking to her during class.
......................
The next year I was in Daisy's class and there I made friends with two other kid Teja and Neha. They were all so bright and brilliant. Personally I sucked at studies. I got C in most of the subjects, I didn't really care much about it.
That year for my birthday I still remember the dress I wore to school, It was a white frock with a mirror work on the neck. I actually didn't had a necklace to match with it so I didn't wore any, I was upset about that and suddenly Daisy and Neha came to me and said you don't have to wear a necklace for this dress, it has already a necklace type pattern around the neck. I knew they were comforting me and it did work. They were the best.
