Anika came out of her thoughts, as the van came to rest, realising that she has reached her school.
She, then, started chanting some positive things, to calm her mind and her thumping heart, but all in vain!
After having waited to go last, she came out, to witness the building in front of her.After a minute or two, she went inside. The school was beautiful, perfectly attached to nature. It was green and simple. It had an open ground in the middle and the building was made around it.
But then, she saw all those stranger faces, who were staring at her! Their faces were different to those of Indians, though, there were many, who resembled them,because of the fact that their ancestors were Indians. She felt all the way more self-conscious and nervous. She was a nervous-wreck by the time she reached inside.
Seeing the washroom, she quickly almost threw her bag, and ran there.
She, then, couldn't hold her tears any longer and cried, until she felt better, ready to face the world!
She came out, composing herself, took her bag, and went to the reception which was upstairs, as she was totally unaware of the places there.
There, she met the receptionist, and enquired the things which were supposed to be done. She then, introduced Anika, to her daughter, Noah, who was in the same class as Anika. She was a friendly girl, who made Anika feel much better. She, took Anika downstairs, where the assembly was about to begin. She introduced her to some of their classmates, and she felt better for some time!After the assembly, they went to the class. Where, Anika took the first bench, as she was not comfortable to sit behind. After a few minutes, their class teacher showed up. She then, introduced Anika to the whole class, and then to a boy, an Indian, to her!
His name was Shivaay Singh, and he was a sweetheart. He, shook his hands with Anika, and she had some weird feeling in her stomach.
She replied, and then sat down on her bench.She was wondering about the fact, that why did she feel weird when she shook hands with him. But, these thoughts, soon disappeared as she began to feel lonely, yet again!
The children were creating a nuisance. They were noisy, extremely disturbing!
But shivaay, was sitting calmly, he appeared to be in some thoughts.Soon, it was the lunch break. Anika took her box and began eating, after going outside the class, as the noise was unbearable.
After a few minutes, she felt a hand on her shoulder.
