Her school days

1. First day

Finally I reached infront of my class '9B'. "Huhhh" I let out a sigh and entered inside. My heart was beating very fast but As sonn as I entered, I first time felt school as my second home. There was good aura there, all the boys are enjoying and shouting. It does not feel like this is the first day of my school after two whole years. I saw Anika and Ashi chattering at the front seat of last row. I was admiring them. They both look beautiful infact every girl of my class look beautiful. I am feeling the ugliest one here. I also saw Ishi sitting at the back of girls row and I ignored her.

I hurried my steps towards ashi and Anika and settled myself at the seat behind them as the row was arranged in two. There were only four pairs of seats in the row they were sitting at. I was shocked looking at the seating arrangement of our class as it did not seemed sorted. Things really changed after two years.

I came out of my thought when I saw that Anika and Ashi are looking behind at me.
"Whattt??!!" I asked
"You are looking different komal" they both said together.
I thought that they are saying that because I am looking uglier than before. "I think I should wear mask at school hours because everyone will react like this when they see my ugly face." I thought,"but how can I wear mask for straight 6 hours, my specs do not support mask even for 15 minutes." I sighed. It is really hard to wear mask along with specs as fog appears on glasses as we breathe.
[Only people who wear glasses can understand me]

While lost in my thoughts my orbs suddenly shifted towards the teachers table. There is a group of five boys and one of them is looking at me. My breath hitched. "Is there something on my face, why is he looking at me, can he read my thoughts, no he must be staring at the wall, or at Anika or ashi " I was thinking this and suddenly I broke out of thoughts when Anika called me.
"Hey!komal!!! Where are you lost Why are you staring at Krish, I know he is handsome but you can't stare at someone like this." She stated with a big smirk on her face. I realised that I zoned out looking at him while he was busy talking with his friends.

"I got zoned out" I clarified." It happens with me often" I stated.
"Us bro uss" she said.

The bell rang and our class teacher Mrs Meenu entered. She is cute. I was admiring her as she has chubby cheeks. Ohh I want to pull her cheeks she looks so cute.🥺

[Huhhh... Admiring everyone except herself 🤦]

She introduced herself. She is our English teacher. Greattt. I felt a connection with her today itself. Soon the day ended.

I don't know why but I did not felt left out today. I always felt left out with other people but Anika and Ashi did not let me feel bored. Even ishi approached us twice but I did not have her attention. During lunch also ashi complimented the lunch made by my mother and told me to bring extra for her everyday. Anika also nodded with her and complimented me along.

When I reached home I told everything to mummy that how nice Anika and ashi are and I made them friends at the first day. Although they were my friends in 6th standard also but I am considering this my new start. My mummy is my only bestfriend till now. **Love her💞**. She was the biggest support of me during corona time. It was because of her I remain happy at home and feels lucky.

Next day

I was not nervous today for going to school. I managed to talk to other girls also on the first day itself but still I don't know the names of many boys. I know only the names of boys of Krish's group as they are the naughty ones in the class. And I don't know why I but I missed krish yesterday at home. This is strange for me as I never felt this for a boy before yesterday.
