"Cold, cold, so cold, it is so cold, this b......! Alarm rings, It was a cold day in Mumbai 15th June 2015. It was the first day of my new semester and just another ordinary day for me like every day. My days always go by making breakfast, having it and then I leave my house to go to school where I meet my friends, do some study and come back home. I usually read books after coming home, make dinner, eat and sleep, but today was an exception. It was very cold today.
Morning, it was the time when the sun was almost about to rise.
"Ah the bed is so cold"
I woke up yawning and went to see the view of my city. When I opened the window, a very cold breeze came and made me fully awake. I walked towards my bed where there was a picture of me with my first friend. Everyday I always wished her good morning, after that I went downstairs and made some tea bread toast and an omelet. After preparing breakfast, I went and got ready for my first day of school. It was 6:55 am and I rushed out of the house after having breakfast. As I was walking down the road It was quite as always there were very few people walking on the street. The sun was hidden behind the clouds and the wind was freezing. Walking on the street I was a few minutes away from the school when I started to think what I was dreaming today and then Rudra come running and jumped on me,
"Hey you slowpoke still gloomy like always?"
"Rudra, how many times should I tell you don't startle me everyday like this"
Mary said,
"Yes Rudra you should stop doing that, he always gets annoyed first thing in the morning."
"Okay, okay Mary, I won't do it next time"
Rahul said,
''You always say it, That I won't do it next time"
"Hey I said this for the first time Rahul"
Kush said,
"No Rudra you always say that."
"You guys teaming up and bullying me, hey Roxy explain my sadness to your boyfriend"
"I think Rudra, Kush is speaking the truth, I am on my boyfriend's side like always.''
"So how about we go to school if your mini playlet is done ?"
Everybody together
"Yes Alban"
We came all the way to school making fun of each other. I was just watching them like always thinking how did I meet with these weirdo's still i am really glad that they like me the way I am!
It was our first day and last year in school.
I transferred here 2 years ago in mid-semester. On my first day when I was about to enter the school. These five were at the gate and called out to me.
"Hey you, we haven't seen you around, are you a new student ?"
"Yes I am now will you move aside, I want to go to the headmaster's office to complete my paperwork, so stop blocking my path."
"Hey easy, we just wanted to talk, we were also transfer students here, so we made our little group so we won't bully you."
"Bullying me will take most of your effort, but you won't have fun."
"Oh is that so, no we weren't going to do it, also we are not bullies, chill man, but if you want help in school meet with us, we are in class 8-D."
I think I have heard about 8-D, but where. After finishing my paper work, I was about to leave the office.
"Hey Alban, do you know which class you are in ?"
I made a dumb face with a smile
"So you don't know it's class 8-D."
Of course, I am in the same class with those guys! At first, I was not comfortable in the class, but since I met five people at the front gate, I asked them about the teachers and the school. After that, I was beginning to have fun when I talked with them and somehow, I was part of their group.
These people I call them as my friends, they are all unique Rudra, he is like the leader of our group, very good at sports but sucks at decision-making. Mary is a sweet sincere girl she likes to talk about space more than anything, Rahul is a serious guy believes in facts and also the decision maker of our group, Roxy and Kush are a couple, who always like to challenge each other at & any small things, and then me the silent and calm guy who speaks very less.
The first day of our new semester ended with no study at all. The teachers were introducing themselves and also wanted us to introduce ourselves. I was packing my bag, when lightning struck. It scared me, and then it started to rain very heavily. I was doing some work in the class of our Math teacher while all the others were heading home. I took my work to the staff room. Furthermore, I was given the job to correct our homework, which was given to us for our Summer. After finishing my work, I was about to leave, but the rain was still strong. I was about to take out my umbrella, but I found out that I didn't bring it from the house with me. As the staff room was above our class, when we leave the staff room I always come in front of our class.
I was standing outside the classroom. I was thinking about that day. It was raining like this that day. As the raindrops were falling on the ground it was making a very calm melody, I started to sing a song, as the rain going on I was singing very softly, if a person will stand beside me then only one will be able to hear my voice, as there was no one around I was able to focus on my song.
You say "you can rest now"
Thinking back now
It is a sweet trap
Today I will transformed into a ideal person
Fiction, false words, virtue reflection, sincerity
I made it by myself
A Honest person is boy who cried wolf
Lies play with the victims
Because this is the time to make a fake cry
Ah, you have decided
to escape
from a 3D world like this, right?
To virtualize a lie
It’s a non-scientific situation and a imaginary ways of speech
whichever doesn't matter
As I was singing, a voice joined in my song, making it a duet. It is a very gentle voice, who is it? I was wondering and turned back. It was a girl from my class. I was going to talk to her when she stopped by a gesture and made me finish my song.
'Give me love, love me
Those words can't cure me anymore'
She is one of the popular students of the school. Her voice is so beautiful, but I don't think she knows my name. Wait, I don't know her name either. What was her name again? As I was thinking, the girl spoke,
"Alban, Hey Alban, back to earth, you are Alban right."
What ? Did she just say my name?
"Yes, I am Alban"
"Why are you still here?"
"I forgot my umbrella, and was waiting for the rain to stop."
"I don't think it is stopping anytime soon, why don't we go home together? I can drop you"
What she invited me to walk home with her?
"Are you coming, Alban ?"
"Yes it's getting pretty late, let's go!"
Walking inside the same umbrella with a girl was my first time. What are these strange turns of events ?
"So, how did you forget your umbrella at home ?"
"Yes In hurry I didn't carry it with me"
As we were walking I found out that she is good at studies too, and she also loves reading books. Our interests were the same, most of them were the same, and it was fun talking with her.
"How do you know where I live ?"
"Alban I am just heading to my house"
"Wait, so we live in the same neighborhood ?"
"I think that is the only answer."
When we reached my house, she said her house was near the old park, which was a few minutes away from my house.
"Hey, thanks for helping me today, what was your name? I didn't ask you before."
At night before sleeping I always write my day In my diary, but today was very different from the ordinary day. I met a new girl and also walked home together with her, now that I think about it. It was pretty embarrassing. What if Someone had watched us walking together? There can be rumors about her, why am I so dumb ? Anyway I don't think she will talk to me In class and I won't approach her either, still It was very nice talking with her. As I was writing my diary, I wrote. Today I met someone new and her name was
'Rikka'
"Someone please call an Ambulance!"
"Please calm down...."
"How did this happen?"
