And It Was All Fate

FIRST DAY OF School 36

When you have to go to some familiar place after a long time . It feels strange . I also feel strange because we have to go to school after a long time . There is a feeling of uneasiness in my heart . I feel insecure and dubious for some reason . So much has happened in vacations . Many things changed in my life .

I am in the car with Serena . She is driving my mother's Red Vigro car . This is so weird for me . I am used to come school without using a car but nevertheless . I will get used to it ...

ANNOUNCEMENTS : GOOD MORNING STUDENTS WELCOME BACK AFTER VACATIONS .
SCHOOL HOPES THAT YOU ARE ALL DOING WELL .
SINCE TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF OUR SCOOL LIKE ALWAYS WE ARE GOING TO AWARD OUR TOPPERS WITH CERTIFICATES ABD GIFTS .
CONGRATS TO ALL THE TOPPERS .
YOU ALL HAVE TO GATHER IN THE AUDITORIUM TO WITNESS THE AWARD CEREMONY .

Well , looks like we have to do something completely futile on the first day of school . I hate this . I don't understand how does it help to apply grade system in exams when they are still going to announce toppers . But it doesn't matter . I don't care much .

" Dear students , hope you are all well . This year someone has done an excellent job in exams . That person is genius and an excellent example of marvel and success . Give a big round of applause to Mister Samuel who is now in class 11 " .

Sam ? He is the topper . Ok , I don't care about who is the topper but Sam is the topper . Sam ! The Sam I know who loves to advocate humanities and arts . Sam ; the writer . Writers aren't supposed to be successful or toppers .

I watch Sam who is wearing a black shirt and khaki pant . Oddly he is dressed well today . Maybe , he was told about the ceremony .
Look at his face . His smug smile as he recieves the award . Of course he is smiling . I have seen him smiling before this . I hate this guy .

" Sam , do you have something to say ? ", speaker .

" Yeah sure . Good morning , friends ...", Sam .

I am getting chills . He is not the Sam I know . He is an imposter who has kidnapped the real Sam and hid him because he wrote something offensive about the kidnapper in his book .

" We all are special in our own ways . We are all different and unique . Even if some of us don't succeed in our lives , we can still polish ourselves to become good human beings ...."

Human beings , special ? I never knew that he thought that way. I thought Sam is just a quiet kid who likes to ignore those who piss him off including me .

" Hence I think all subjects are special , good and equally important . I know in our society we give importance to some subjects more than others but I think those prejudices need to be removed ..."

Prejudices ? What is he doing ? Running an election campaign for arts and humanities . I don't know if it was the illusion but for a second he looked at me and smirked as if purposefully mocking me . He is so annoying .

Finally , its over .

" Hello ...", Sam .

" Oh , hi ...", I replied .

" You look good today . So , did you like my speech ? " , Sam with raised brow .

" Like your speech . Very funny I didn't even listen to it . And no matter what you say . You will never be right . ", Is said .

" Yeah , yeah . Miss engineer . ", Sam .

From 11th grade our classes will be divided according to the subjects . That means I am not Sam's desk mate any more which means yay , yipee and wohoo .

I noticed something weird . As I am walking in the school corridor everyone is looking at me with strange eyes . Of course , it is because of my crutches .No one has asked me anything since I tend to ignore humans most of the time but O know they are dying to know what happened to me . Curiosity is the weird nature of human beings and none can deny it .

ANNOUNCEMENTS : TIMETABLES ARE AVAILABLE ON THE SCHOOL WEBSITE AND NOTICE BOARD .

STUDENTS ARE ADVISED TO HURRY AS CLASSES WILL BEGIN ON 10 : A. M.

" Hey , M . ", Claire , " You look much better than before . "

" Yeah but everyone is staring at me . " I said .

" Oh ignore them they are just bunch of teens who have nothing better to do or understand ." , Claire .

" Oh , by the way I am majoring in business . And you are majoring in science . ", Claire .

I nod in agreement .

" Ok , bye . I will see you in lunch break . ", Claire .

I am entering the class to find new faces , I don't think I remember anyone of them . They are probably from different schools who just transferred this year .

Our first class is physics , then it will chemistry , then maths , then additional and at the end we will have communication class which is common for all streams .

I sit down on my assigned desks . We are asked to sit according to roll no.' s . I will just keep my bag in the desk and relax . Where should I keep crutches . I should keep it on the floor .

" Hi , my name is Amara . Nice to meet you . ", said the black haired girl sitting next to me .

She looks pretty decent . She has a dark skin and pretty shiny eyes . I notice that she has a good smile .

" Hi ", I replied and looked down once again .

" Your name ? ", she asked .

" Myra , my name is Myra . ", I said .

" You don't like to talk . Do you ? ", she said .

" I respect that . ", Amara said .

Then she remained silent . Focusing on her book . She probably likes to read books . Whatever none of my business .📚📚📚

Classes began . Today's classes were pretty understandable . Nothing special . Just the concepts which we already know . And I also notice that Amira loves to answer every teacher's answer . She is super energetic .

" I know , sir . Pressure equals to Force divided by Area ..." Amara .

"I know sir . Function is dependant variable represented by f( x). " , Amara .
😑😑😑😑
Even teachers are annoyed by constant replies . I can sense from their sour expression .

Finally , Maths teacher told her to shut up . It was very embarrassing . I can feel her embarrassment engulfing me .

Its lunch time , I should go to the canteen . These damn crutches are slipping on the floor . Probably its because of the smooth surface of school's floor .

I finally found a seat in the canteen and sat down . And Claire has spotted me ...Soon Serena also arrives . She has opted for arts . Hence we are not in the same class . She was worried about me . But I said I will be fine . Even though she is my bodyguard but she has to study . I can't deprive her from studies . Soon Lucas and Lily arrive . As usual , Lily has a frown on her face and she is still glaring at me .

" I still don't understand why you opted for science ? ", Lily told Lucas .

" I told you its because I want to be a doctor . " , Lucas .

" Yeah , yes that is totally realistic Lucas . Totally realistic ." , Claire chuckling .

" Laugh all you want . But you will be surprised when I will save lives after becoming doctor ..." ,Lucas .

" Lily . Why did you choose to study science ? " , Claire .

" Because its bearable than all other subjects ...", Lily deadpanned .

" And guess what we are in the same class . And we are also desk mates . What are the odds ? I am sure its the destiny . " , Lucas .

" More like a misfortune . " , Lily .

So Lucas and Lily are in same class because they have biology . I never thought that could happen .
