Batch 23

2nd April 2018

Part I

I woke up to the first sunrays that hit my face this morning. I was half asleep when I extended my arm in search of my alarm clock on the table and when I got I opened my eyes to look at the time, it was 5:00 and 15 minutes were left before our PT teacher blows the whistle to wake up for morning PT.

I got out of bed quickly and made my way to the dorm's bathroom and it's no surprise to be by myself around at this time. No one likes waking up early and while I have nothing to talk about right now, maybe I'll take this time to talk about myself while I freshen up.

Let me start with my family first, I have an elder sister who is stuck in a private job after she completed her BTech from a private institute, my mom is a teacher and my dad works in a Law firm. We live in Shillong and we adopt a humble approach towards life. I've had a good relationship with my parents but it have never been a deep one, I've always felt sandwiched between the feeling of never being good enough and self doubt, they have never left any stone unturned when it comes to my education it has always been the best school, the best tuition, the right circle of friends and no, this was not the case in the beginning, it started after my elder sister failed to score in her NEET and JEE exam, so basically the responsibility of getting into a good college got pinned down on me.

So when I came to know about Blossom High in Class IV, I had my vision fixed to crack its Entrance Test and after immense practice I made it here in 6th standard along with all my other batchmates. My only motive to be here is to stay away from the constant watch of my parents. Blossom High is located at the outskirts of Jowai .The campus is situated 4 kilometres away from the highway and it is a huge campus that spreads over 90 acher. I came here not expecting anything much but to my surprise Blossom High unfolded its beauty and potential little by little to me. Once upon a time I thought that curricular activities would dilute studies but since we got a CGPA system, i had no other way but to participate in them and I got introduced to athletics through the process and ever since I've fell in love with it. I'm trying my best to get into some prestigious sports academy of India like the one in Patna. I'm giving it all my blood, sweat, tears for getting selected and talking about my academics, I'm doing pretty well in it as I have no other choice than to please my parents and I'm still figuring out ways to break it out to my parents about having no interest in going to KOTA to persuade their medical dream. But I understand it will be a hard time to convince them.

Part II

As I enter my room I notice Daka was still fast asleep, I went near her bed and as my hands were still wet I sprinkle it on her face just for fun.

Daka ( half asleep and grumbly):
Hmm, you're so annoying let me sleep abit more......

Delaney:
I wish you could but it's already 5:00.

Daka( after shifting positions for a bit, she finally woke up):
I hate morning PT.

When she slip out of her blanket, I realise that she was already in her PT uniform

Delaney:
You slept in your uniform

Daka(when she was tying her shoes):
Don't judge me I'm at the peak of my laziness.

As I tied my hair in a pony tail, I peep outside the window to see most of the girls heading out to the field.

Delaney:
Let's get going, we will miss the attendance

I rushed out while Daka followed me slowly from behind

Daka( shouting):
Delaney wait up!

It was surely a sunny morning today and the campus look serene as the rays of sun hit its walls and also lit up it's greenery. Tell me who could have not fall head over heels for such mornings, but everything doesn't last forever just like every flower that bloom have to die soon, it will start raining and a sunny day would be considered no less than a blessing.
