.The First Day༊˚

Author's POV :

"Avyyy!!!", a voice came from the kitchen.

"Will you wake up now or want to get hit by my belan?", the threat reached the ears of the girl who was sleeping in her room, upstairs.

"I'm up, mom. Stop shouting!!", the girl (Avni) replied sleepily from her room.

(It's Avni's first day in her new high school. She is transferred to a new city because of her dad's work. She is going to study in one of the most popular and prestigious high school in the city. She is excited yet nervous as she struggles with making friends.)

After 15-20 minutes Avni came downstairs wearing her new school uniform.

"Mom, I'm starving", Avni said with a pleading tone.

"Come and Sit on the table", her mother replied, while serving the food.

"Do you want me to drive you to the school?", Avni's dad asked. Avni replied with a hmm.

(They have reached this city yesterday and they don't know the streets well yet and are still adjusting themselves to this new place. So, she agreed with her dad's suggestion, as she had not yet used the buses here.)

After completing her breakfast, Avni went to her school with her dad. Her dad dropped her in fornt of the school gate and left for his work. She takes a deep breath and says "You got this!!", to herself.

Avni entered the school gate and walked towards the building. She found a huge crowd formed in one of the corner of the school ground along with some cheering sounds. She could notice some boys playing basketball there, from a distance but couldn't see their faces so she thought to walk towards it. Before she could go near it, a teacher arrived and dispersed the crowd.

Avni walked towards a girl, who was leaning on one of the pillar, watching the match from a distance, "Excuse me?".

The girl replied, "Yes?"

Avni stated, "I'm new here. Can you tell me where is the staff room?"

The girl replied, "It's in the ground floor, room no 04. You are new here? Welcome here. What's your class?"

Avni thanked her and said "11th C" and went towards the staff room.
(ofc she is bad at making friends)

AVNI'S POV :

After knowing where the staff room was, I went towards it. Shit! I forgot to ask her class and name. I knocked the door of the staff room before entering and then went towards my class teacher. I wished him a good morning. He gave me my ID-Card and said to follow him. I went to my class with him.

He declared, "Good morning students. We have a new student.

"Please go ahead and introduce yourself", he said looking at me.

"Hello, everyone....I-Im Avni Agarwal. I-I have recently transferred here. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you and being a part of this class. Thank you!" I said taking breaks in between the sentences.

The teacher (Mr. Gupta) said, "Good! Now take that seat at the back, It's empty."

I nodded and walked towards it. I sat down and noticed the girl from earlier was sitting infornt of me. The teacher left the classroom saying that he will be back after few minutes as some students aren't here yet because of the basketball match.

"Oh, Hi!", I said in order to start the conversation with the girl.

She replied with a Hello. I apologized by saying, "Sorry I didn't ask you your name and class before."

"I'm Nidhi Sharma, and don't apologize it's alright", she replied with a smile.

"So, we are classmates, if you don't mind then can we be friends?", I questioned.

"Sure, I would love to", Nidhi answered.

"Can't we sit together?" I asked.

"Actually No, the teacher had already made us seat with our seat mates. This seat is the only one left so he told you to sit here", she replied.

"Don't worry, you have a seat mate as well", she added.

"Do you like to play basketball?" I asked.

"No, No, my seat mate plays basketball, So I went there to watch it. Also the basketball team is really popular. Your seat mate is also a basketball player. He is the leader of the team. Both of them plays really good and good looking as well", she said with a chuckle.
I replied with Oh.

"Can you tell me more about the school and students later in break?", I asked in order to know others more.

"Sure!" Nidhi replied with a smile.

Some students came inside the classroom and sat in their seats. I saw a boy with messy hairs, dark black eyes, not tucked shirt, sports shoes with a casual smile on his face, walking towards me.

He looked at me with confusion and asked, "You are?"

Nidhi replied, "She's transferred and new here, the teacher asked her to sit here."

I nodded listening to Niddhi reply and added, "Yes, I'm Avni."

He sat next to me but didn't say anything. The seat mate of Niddhi said, "Hi, I'm Aaron Singh. Welcome here." I thanked him and then the teacher came.

The teacher started to teach the lesson and I started taking notes. I noticed my seat mate was sleeping on the desk.
"I'm Ishan, Ishan Malhotra", he said while sleeping. I ignored him and continued taking the notes.
