Just like that moment when we think- where should I fit this tiny glowing piece in the jigsaw puzzle of a night skied city,what could it be representative of now but in reality the significance of that piece is understood later after completing ever...

It was to be the first day at my new school tomorrow for secondary school, I was saying to myself.
Bag packed, hair oiled so I could hide my mischievous self and cover-up by the obedient impression as far as I could, shoe polished again to add to the obedient makeup;) I had set the alarm timer and reassured myself that I will wake up early as I'm sleeping early, okay at least I'm trying to sleep early, efforts will be counted;)
Well, let me tell you that alarm was my mom because only she was capable enough to wake me from my adventurous, dramatic dreams in which I get so involved as if they were real, hence that's no job of a machine to wake me, it needs some really strong emotions, some very strong command voice and a very creative brain to have one of the most unique and thoughtful ideas like, to switch off the fan, which only an Indian mom is capable of and not any AI equipped machinery just in case if it's ever built as it wouldn't have those scary vibes that we get when it's switched off by our mother's indicating it's high time you wake up or else be ready to face the consequences!
Next day
I must have dreamt of some dramatic scenario in my dream as I had expected and hence woken up a bit late thus rushing through my morning chores and acing towards my school bus, which I luckily managed to catch and luckily because that's when I met my crush(no, it's not him, he's life and this one is just a crush whom I met before him).
I must have just appreciated some of the sharp, alluring features he owed, like his face, a pointed nose, the rectangular glass spectacles, his lips seemed so finely carved by God, just a piece of perfection in every way coming to his dress-up, not a single wrinkle seen on the white shirt of the school uniform, perfectly tucked in and the shoes as black as it could be; he was just so exceptional in all sense, I did even assume that his wit, no doubt would be just that perfect like all other features.
After we reached school, it took me a while figuring my class but managed it at last and the next thing I see after my class-division board on the top of the door of my class was him(crush) seated among his friends, which made me think he's also socially just so perfect. I just must have given a general look at the other students in the class, not a focused view.
The first four periods passed in a jiffy, likely because the firsts are always alluring ;) As soon as the bell rang, a girl, black, shiny but short hair tied up neatly in a ponytail, calling out my name, "Macy, hey Macy, wait a minute" hurriedly approached me. As she was running towards me, I thought to myself that this is a familiar face. She said, "where are you lost, did you not notice me, not notice me!" To my surprise, she belonged to the same previous school and was a pretty good acquaintance of mine.
That's why I take no hesitation when I term myself as a very observant person(i won't call myself judgemental because I find the word used usually when a person describes the negative, cringy qualities of the other)
Okay, okay, fast forwarding to a few days,
During school hours I tried my level best to have my attention on the blackboard,smart board present in the classroom, learning it genuinely and focussing as I was in the age-"teenage" which happens to be the most repulsive and distracted phase in one's life.And as I said you,lucky me I got the distraction since day one!
I used the term lucky not just in a mocking way but also genuinely because it was my first crush through which I actually learned what true love is,to differentiate the materialistic aspects and the long term aspects !
It's my belief, the early you fail the early you learn than others, so it's okay to learn in an early age and also okay to be ashamed of failing(as teenagers we do get offended a lot, ahh the ego supremacy XD) because we can't be perfect in our feelings,let alone the emotion department from perfectionist thoughts and judgements, that's why I keep reminding myself.
It was 2 years at this new school where i was sticking to this crush of mine and also of studying,please XD
Yes, because the terms for having a crush for me was perfection which none other than him could embrace so elegantly thus 2years i could stick to him. Well, i sticked to him as in i did try making conversations, worked on myself in all possible ways so that i could impress him- infact this has my overall growth,i began to yearn for better grades,to improve my social skills,tried to crack some really witty jokes and many more.
As i had already mentioned he was really perfect,i guess he had taken an oath to have it applicable in all fields,by that i meant even in case of relationships,he preferred to focus on his career than relationships so all my efforts ended up in vain.I don't really regret that it took me 2years to learn this thing about him because in that duration i did better me no matter i couldn't earn him!
