Pari and Aditi please could you stop giggling.
Or else I'll have to change your seats',Ms Sharma said sternly.
Change seats! No!

I quickly nudged Aditi to stop. I would never ever sit with anyone except Aditi. We were BFFs
( Best friend forever) And we had been sitting together since nursery.
Besides, I didn't want Ms Sharma to think I wasn't listening to her. I enjoyed her classes very much.

The only time Aditi and I hadn't sat together was when had chicken pox, and that's because she didn't come to school! And while she was gone,
I, Pari, didn't sit with anyone else, either.

Just then Ms Sharma's attention turned towards the door, she gave her best warm smile."please welcome 😁 our new student, Amber", to the class.
"Please come in, Amber."

"A new girl in the middle of the year?"
Aditi whispered 😮‍💨, so loudly that even Ms Sharma heard .
" Yes Aditi, in the middle of the year ", Ms Sharma frowned 🙎‍♀️. "Amber has had somethings, which have been sorted and she is joining our school in grade four. " She said. She saved her friendly look for Amber.

"Don't talk so loudly! I wisphered to Aditi .
"Yup..." Aditi whispered back.
" Or else Ms Sharma will change our seats". I spoke softly as I could. But Ms Sharma had the sharpest ears that mankind could have. And then something that had never happened in history of my life happened!

Ms Sharma thundered, "Aditi! I would like you to sit with Amber here on the first seat. And Pari, I would like, you to go to the back of the class and ,sit 🪑 with Vishnu."

" But Ms Sharma, I w-was . . . I mean, Aditi and I have never sat seperately and she is my Bff", I protested.

"But Pari, you should have thought 💭 or that before you started whispering. Aditi will not sit with you but with Amber. You can still be with her bff if you like!" She rolled her eyes 👀.

"But . . . Pleeeeaaaase . . . " I begged.
"Aditi, I want you to sit with Amber and help get acquainted with new school".
"Now?" asked Aditi.
"Yes, I want you to change seats now".

We knew there was no arguing with Ms Sharma. If she said something, she meant it.
This was the first time Ms Sharma had spoken to me with such sternness, unlike Vishnu, who got scolded by her every day. That's because I was one of the good students.

Ms Sharma was strict teacher unlike our third grade teacher who would let us whisper 😮‍💨 and still not change our seats. I couldn't understand why she was picking on us today. Sometimes teachers can really get funny! You never know what's running in their minds!

But Aditi and I had been talking and whispering during classes and had got warnings from Ms Sharma before.
I looked around to see where Vishnu the chatterbox was seated. I would rather sit alone than sit with him! I slowly picked up my belongings and dragged myself to the end of the class and pulled my desk away from Vishnu's.

"Hi Pari!" Vishnu whispered.
I gave him one of my very best "get lost" looks. I was going to sit here only for today. I was determined that tomorrow everything would go back to being normal. I would sit beside Aditi and we would go on being BFFs.

We could help each other when Ms Sharma asked a question, we could whisper to each other very, very softly so that Ms Sharma wouldn't hear us. We could read Hungry to r Read together and Ms Sharma wouldn't find out.
"All right class, as discussed earlier we will start work on our new chapter "Man Destroying Nature ' and three weeks from now, you will all submit your reports", Ms Sharma announced

"You will work with the person sitting next to you" She looked at Aditi. " Aditi, that means you will work with Amber and help her".
"But . . . Ms Sharma, Pari and I had planned to do report together ", Aditi objected.
"Sorry Aditi, since Amber is a new girl it with be kind of you to help her..."
"But Ms Sharma, Aditi and I always work together," I argued.
I didn't like arguing with my teachers but I didn't want to do my project with Vishnu either.
He would mess up every thing and then my report card, which is full of beautiful 😍 A's would be marked with B's or C's.
She again gave me stern look. "Fir this project, Pari, you will work with Vishnu, and I don't want to hear anything more regarding this '.

Oh, how I wished I had not whispered in class. It was only because of me that we had gotten separated. And now Aditi would be working with Amber, the new girl. Not me!
Why was Ms Sharma doing this?
I made two decisions. Right then I got out my note book and begin to write in it .

1: I am not going to work with Vishnu!
2: ( this would be unkind, and it makes me feel I am not my usual self, but ) I will not like the new girl, Amber.
