Her school days

1. First day

Komal's pov

Finally I reached infront of my class '9B'.

"Huhhh" I let out a sigh and entered inside.

My heart was beating very fast, it felt that it almost came out of my body, but As soon as I entered, I first time felt school as my second home.

The aura inside the class was very pleasant. The boys were enjoying and shouting, living their school with freedom, not caring about surroundings or judgements.

The girls remained seated on their chairs, some standing.

It did'nt felt like this was the first day of my school after two whole years.

I saw two girls chattering at the front seat, one was laughing loudly not caring about the gazes that shifted towards her, while the other girl was telling her some stories with several hand movements.

I was admiring them, unknown of the fact that those were my friends in 6th standard. They both looked beautiful, almost breathtaking. Even a girl can get attracted to them.

Even though every girl in the class was beautiful but they caught my attention. I was feeling the ugliest one here.

I hesitated a little, my inner feelings provoking me to not walk towards them, but I had to as the seat beside them was the only empty seat left.

'they are beautiful, what if they have attitude like every other beautiful girl' my thoughts raced.

'but I have to go there, no other seat is empty in girls row' i thought again.

It was like my mind was fighting with itself.

I took a deep breathe, "you have to go" I encouraged myself and without thinking anything anymore I slowly walked towards them.

I stood infront of their seat, "hi" I managed to say, pushing my hesitation away.

They both jerked their heads towards me, "did I broke their friendly conversations" I thought.

I smiled awkwardly at them, assuming that they might ignore. But, instead, they smiled.

"Hey, what's your name, were you with us in 6th standard" one of them asked, their faces covered with big smiles.

Seeing their attitude, my usually shy personality unknowingly slipped away.

I returned them the big smile, "yes, my name is komal, who are you two i can't remember anyone here" I blurted out, not wanting to fumble in between my words.

Their faces turned into deep shock, they both stood up from their seats almost immediately, "what you are that chubby faced komal?" They both asked, their voices syncing in chorus.

I fumbled, no words came out of my mouth. Their faces showed that they realised that their sudden reactions scared me.

They turned their faces into gloomy ones again, masking their shock, "we are anika and ashi, hope you remember" one of them said.

My mind raced into past, the three friends I had back then. My little hesitation slipped away in an instance.

My smiled widened, "ashi anika" I shouted excitedly.

They both nodded and jumped towards me, taking me into a deep hug, "you all changed" I said, my heart filled my emotions and memories of our beautiful past.

"Not more than you" said ashi.

"Chal ab jyada formal matt ho" anika retorted, breaking our English conversation that didn't felt friendly but more like an office meetup.
