Iron heart

It was a bright morning and Anjana was praying to god and hoped for a great year ahead. As she was starting her 11th grade now. Her Mum (Chandrika) walked in with the breakfast and was advising her to act maturely at least this year as a high schooler and face all the trouble and heartbreaks with a smile. she reminded her that she is there for her if she needs anything.

Anjana looking at her with shock and was like it is just the first day and you want me to get into trouble and come crying to you, Don't you want me to start my year with a positive note.

Chandrika with tears in her eyes kissed Anjana on her forehead. Chandrika pressed the hands of Anjana and told her to come to her anytime and she'll be supportive of all the decisions.

Anjana is visibly confused and happy at the same time that her mom is friendly and a bit overthinking. Anjana got the blessings of her mom and finished breakfast. She bid her farewell to her mom and started her morning walk to school.

Chandrika looking at her innocent daughter prayed to god by looking at the sky. She prayed that she stays the same forever and returns back safely every day.

Anjana was jumping as she was going to meet her best friend and most Importantly her crush after two months. She was waiting to show him her new body. She used to be a Thick woman but now during the summer holiday, she did a lot of hard work and diet and reduced it to half. She was filled with positivity and hope for love.

She reached her best friend's (Sofia) house and She started to knock on the door multiple times. No one answered and It felt like there was no one in. The vibrations in Anjana started to go down with each knock. She decided to leave and at that time her bestie jumped out and shouted surprise. Sofia is childish like Anjana so they both act like this all the time.

They both started to walk towards the school. Sofia was teasing Anjana with Michael (Anjana's crush) the whole time.

Anjana was blushing so much that her face turned red and Sofia was having a great time making her friend laugh. They both reached the school and were searching for their new classroom. They went to the first class and started searching their names on the name board. Anjana was so excited to see her name on the list. As this is the class for toppers. Sofia was still searching for her name but She couldn't find her name at all on the list. The happiness in Anjana's face faded. She couldn't believe that she and Sofia will be in a different class. They both are Introverts with zero social skills who happened to have met at the kinder garden and hanged on to each other until now. Now they both have to get new friends. It was a huge task for both of them and Anjana didn't take this well.

Anjana hugged Sofia and started to cry like a baby in the middle of the corridor. Sofia looked at her and told her I'll always be with you multiple times. It was so emotional for both of them but Sofia tried to hold her tears as she didn't want everyone to think of her as dramatic. On the other hand, Anjana didn't give a fuck she was all over the place. Sofia hugged Anjana tightly and made her stop crying. Sofia felt so awkward to be in the middle of a crowd and be the centre of attraction for crying so she ran away shouting goodbye.

Once Sofia left, Anjana stood all alone in the corridor. She had this sudden feeling of emptiness inside of her. She looked around the place to realise that everyone are looking at her. She stopped crying and wiped off her tears but she felt so awkward to be in that place. She ran to the bathroom and washed her face multiple times she was waiting there and hoping that everyone forgets her ugly crying face. When she came out of the restroom she saw Michael in a distance. The Guy was shinning like a star with all girls and guys around him. Anjana was literally in awe of seeing him and couldn't move.
