It was the report day, I was surely worried not because of the fear that I would pass or fail but because I insulted Elijah few days ago because he only got 65% in 10th board. I know Im a bad human and a bad friend but I was always so jealous of his talents like if he was perfect in many thing so I wished he wasnt in one thing. I checked the phone every 10 minutes but no results?! It was almost 3pm noon when I received a call from mom saying I got 82.5%, it wasn't much ok for a 9th Standerd kid so I decided to put efforts in my studies from then.
The day I decided to be determined, disciplined and focused only on my studies and to win the top scorer of the year. And for that I needed a big change to end this emotion of love in me so I thought this way that he hurt my ego and its time for me to show that I am beyond his limits so I could say the end to the chapter 'Dawn' and start the chapter of 'Briona, the role modal topper'.
And for this change I cut my hair short to a mullet that was a bad decision according to my family and the society but to me I felt confident and free that made me soar high like an eagle in all aspects of my life that I could do many great things that year. Along with that I put extra efforts in my projects and online classes working day and night.
Some days later we flew back to my hometown, India. The day to give my projects came and I looked so professional in my uniform with that confidence I went and it felt like giving an interview as I noticed two new faces other than Ansy Miss, my old language mam. I lived my best life in the vacation changed myself for the better.
But one day when I got a call from Aheera telling me to check my MCB I was shocked our class divisions were changed She was in 10C while I was in 10B. We were shattered but it was for the better so I could focus more on my studies the day we promised each other that we would be the top scorers of our respective classes.
I chatted with many of my friends to know their classes and Anushka's bestie Anna told me that both were in my class then I asked Ace which class he was in and it turned out to be in my class so I asked him if Evan was in our class as I was always inspired by him to study and he said yes. And finally the day came when I first entered my tenth standard class room it was dreamy....I felt like I could achieve something here a new beginning which seemed good.
I tried more to focus on myself and it really worked even though Tim always teased me and Dawn, i was least bothered. With my new bestfriend, Anna and Liz I was too engrossed in solving thier love problems that I almost forgot mine..we would sit and chat at the school garden which was another reason for Anna to meet her boyfriend Lin. Anna and Lin's love story was a different whole story in the whole school just like mine and Dawn's but I wasn't much bothered if not for fulfilling my duties as a bestfriend to her.
Another days, we would just sit at the garden and talk about our love lives in study language...we would even share our imaginations of our first times calling the process total internal reflection and make up imaginary stories based on that to feed our inner child. They would always ship me with Dawn but I have already exhausted all my soul of love for him. Without realizing, it was the first term examination and when the results were out, I was suddenly the 2nd class topper of the class. I was amazed at my new found talent even though as a lazy person, I worked enough for it, it was the first time my hard work paid off.
At the parents meeting, my section head whom all my class mates call titan in love told me that I have the potential to the the first in the class, since then I fell in love with studies, in competing even for small test papers cause I felt insecure but it really healed me slowly. Slowly I started solving the difficult questions in the class and even tutor some students as teachers asked me to, and I was in the process of being teacher's pet with the students support as if I was loved by everyone.
