My little teen drama

chapter 2

I want to cry.

I want to sit in a corner, cover my face and cry.

Remember I said I was "excited" to learn the "lessons"? I.TAKE.THAT.BACK.

I have no idea what the hell the teacher is saying. There are a few more kids in the class, 5 boys and we three girls. There are more, but they aren't coming because they're still on vacation.

However, coming back to the class.

We just go into the class, sit on our desk and wait for the teacher. He comes in and just starts teaching. No introduction, nothing. That's weird but okay but whats not okay is what the heck he is teaching. He wrote trigonometry on the board, and I thought okay maybe some sort of geometry, going to be fun, and more of all I was expecting him to start off from the basics, but he just jumps in to some jungle of words ive only seen in scientific calculators.

What is sin? What is cos? What the heck is this?

Ive no idea and im just not ready to ask him what he's teaching and express my ignorance towards whatever trig[torture]nometry on the very first day, in front of everyone in the class. So I just sit in my place silently, noting down whatever he told us to note down ad waiting for break.

In break, I ask Alana what the hell just happened and she says, "trigonometry" like its just a piece of cake. Turns out she already learnt all this from her IITian dad and it was "really easy". Even if I had an IITian dad, i most certainly would not learn this shit. So yeah, after two 40-min long maths periods and a 10-min break, we have science now. at least I know what she's saying and im grateful for that. But even here, no introducing yourselves, nothing. Just direct teaching, maybe because there aren't many students.

The rest of the day was pretty normal. We got to [finally] know our boy classmates. One of them, sidharth, felt very familiar. After a little bit of chatting he said he thinks he knows me. then we figured out we met at a mutual friend's party 3 years ago. Small world!

School ends at 5 in the evening. That is pretty long and it was extremely tiring. The second I reach home, I felt relieved from all the socialising and the lessons, but I am also very excited to back tomorrow. And im really really excited about meeting the other girls because most certainly can not survive with alia and Alana for the rest of the year. Alia doesn't seem to be the kind I'd want to hang out with. She's pretty silent, as far as I've seen and doesn't really like to hangout. Maybe she feels the same about us and wants to get back with her friends. Just have to wait till the rest of the class comes along.
