"Avni, your van is here!! better not be late at school today, especially because it's your afternoon practice & you have no reason to say you woke up late" yelled my mom.

I exclaimed, "Why did it come so early it was supposed to pick me up at 3 for the annual function?" while wearing my untidy shoes.

I ran towards the car's door with a small pink bag on my shoulders that could barely fit in anything. As soon as I tried to pull open the door, I glanced around seeing new faces a few at the back, and a few at the front sitting with eyes wide open staring at me. However, my eyes stuck on one, the one that sat on the back seat with a few other boys. He looked over at me too, our eyes met as my heart skipped a beat & butterflies danced across my stomach like every other normal day. Within a few minutes, the car was filled with kids & I was there stuck in the middle of 2 girls unable to move my neck to talk to the one that I belonged with, the one whose name was Gaurav. I know I am only 8 & I have had crushes like this before but I am sure Gaurav is the one. I was over the moon because our school was supposed to end at 9 pm today so I could have a good time with Gaurav. I fell asleep, playing the same moment of our eyes meeting over and over again. Before long, a pat on my shoulder from behind woke me up. My eyes flicked open, hoping the hand was the one of Gaurav. I turned back to see someone I had never seen before.

"I am too bored, what's your name" asked a boy who sat beside Gaurav

My eyes glanced over Gaurav while replying "Avni, what's yours?"

"I am Aman from 4th standard. you?" said Aman building the conversation

I was happy that I could get to rotate my face to see Gaurav so I answered even if it was irritating, "3rd grade"

Aman with a wide smile exclaimed, "My real sister's name is also Avni, she's in 8th standard in the same school"

Before I could answer I saw Gaurav getting off the car to walk inside school. I jumped off my seat & tried to follow him leaving Aman there.
