"Siyona ? Where is my fucking bath robe ?"

"And Beta you don't need to use the f-word to ask for it " replied my mom.

My sister Siyona had been playing with my bath robe . She loved it and I don't know why . Well I loved mine very much . It was a personally customized one with 'Princess Shanaya ' embroidered behind . And it was purple in color. It extended till my knees. For Siyona it touched her toes . And she used to wear it playing the part of a princess and ordering me as if I were her maid . She had a pink one , with Princess Siyona printed behind. But I really don't know why she always wore mine . And if I ever said anything , my mother would just casually scold me back reminding that she was my sister and I should be sweet with her as she was just a seven year old kid .

"Shanaya I will not give you the robe. I look like a princess more than you in it . I look prettier than you in it . So this robe is mine . I won't give it to you ."

My sister Siyona can really be a pain in the arse at times. But still , I had to forgive her and forget her acts of rudeness as she was a seven year old. I really wonder at times , when I was seven , why did I never get so much of consideration !

So I had to manage without my bath robe . I had to use one of my towels .

You must be thinking that I am the kind of a sassy , hauty girl who must be acting like a princess all the time . Ummm.... well no . No way . It's just that my Maasi ( aunt ) had given me and Siyona the bath robes , when she had last visited us . Since I loved the colour purple and she had brought it all the way from US so , yeah , I took it , and it was pretty useful and handy when I had to tiptoe out of my bathroom to blow dry my hair . And she gave a matching purple towel with it too . It was also a great thing to show off when I had to go for regionals . Oh ! Well did I tell you that when I was In KV , I was selected for Hindi debate at the national level , whose competition was gonna be held at New Delhi . Saddest thing ever happened . My dad got transferred and we had to leave within a notice period of 14 days . The competition was to be held after 6 months . So ... you know I could never go for the Nationals. It's just part of some random dreams which could never come true ...

And then I joined a school here , which was full of bullies , wading through the corridors , like sharks wading through icy waters. They were total retards . I had come in the mid of the term . So I had no friends . I hated the place , I hated the school . I hated everything. I hated the world for it not being fair. It had donned a black mask . Fair , how could it be ? 

My bestie , Adah got our friendship  strengthened out of our mutual hatred for the world , and  eventually we became best friends .

So today , I have got friends , a not so amazing , yet enviable social life . And yes , today I am happy and I love my school and the place .

How did this all change ? Well , it just happened ...
