Desi School Romance

Chapter 3:Another Day

A new day, new life.
Those who say that should really be tried and executed. Because for me since the last 6 years, I'm going through the same repititive routine.
I think an electron goes through  much more excitement in its life, than me.

But, I cannot always complain about it. It's blissful on many occasions. The good days. Example,when I'm successful in avoiding Pranam Shekhawat.
Whenever I see him, I'm a bundle of nerves,because I'm constantly worried about when is he going to tell everyone about that incident.

I made Daevi swear on her pet dog, Chikky, to not tell the incident to anyone.
When she realized that I'm worried about that she kept apologizing. And told me that she can talk to Pranam. But, as good as she is, I don't trust her problem solving abilities, and I'm too chicken to address that in front of Pranam myself.

So I'm ignoring his existence as much as possible, and after that day there was no reason for me to talk to him and neither did he.
So yes, things were going good.

Well, God truly hates me. Because he decided to claim the front row desk as his throne. He comes very early, it's like he is the one who opens school gates in the morning.

And yeah, bad luck is my bestie, so I am  late for school today. And have to listen to our Principal give a lecture about punctuality.

As if that was not enough, when I entered my class, my eyes went to the usual desk I sit in, which is  two desks aways from Pranam, because no way am I not sitting in front because of him. But today someone was there, I saw Aadab and released an air of relief.

She's one of my best friends, we met in 6th grade and are together since than.

Well, you remember I told you that Pranam sits on the desk besides me.
The desk arrangements in our class is a bit different. The desks are made to accomodate a person. And they are aligned together in vertical rows of two.

There was no problem until that was the case.

But than it was changed and, there were four desks aligned together in vertical rows in the middle.

With two more rows of vertical desks arranged on either side of this.
Me,Diksha and Aadab we are a group of three together since 6th grade, and impossible to separate. We sit  in front.

There was no room for me today. 
Yay! Badluck Bestie.

Because Chandra sat at the spot which is usually occupied by Diksha and because God hates me the other person who sat besides him was Pranam, why could this guy not be absent for one day. After the hellish start of this day, could you not have given me this mercy?

I ask God no answer as always.

And my friends,much as I love them. Even I cannot deny that they  are a new breed of she-devil because since they know how much I hate Pranam from the incident last week. I'm regretting telling them anything. But I don't have Doraemon, and cannot go back in time with Time machine and change the past, I have to bear the consequences.

They of course help me, get my seat in the front,but there's a catch. See the drama unfold now..

Diksha went to Pranam's side  and told him" Look Anaysa is here, tell your friend to take his usual seat" She said to Pranam.

Pranam looked ready to argue.

Wait. She could have said that to Chandra directly, she sat besides him. I'll grill her about this later.

Chandra started  packing  up his things in his  backpack.

He said to Pranam "That it's no big thing, and I usually sit  in second row and the change of scenery made me uncomfortable. And I  wouldn't want teachers' hawk eyes trained on me. Especially not Pathak sir".
