Dear Margaret

6th Grade

So, at the end of fifth grade, I got good marks , and I was really praying that me and her should be in the same class. So we were. That year I was the class representative, and I got to just watch over the class for the entire year, it was really great. I mean not the watching over the class thing, but looking at her. It was very exciting. And she was just 2 or 3 benches in front of me. As expected, my grades took a big decline. From 90 percent the previous year it fell to 80 percent.
Well it may not seem much to you but that was my lowest ever . I was always a 90+ student . So this was a big blow for me. Well I was a decent student at the time and my parents were also concerned that my grades had dropped. However they didn't bother me much.

I myself was the one to blame for this because I let this happen. I say this because, we used to have 2 exams a day and we used to have about an hour gap after every exam to study. And I guess you know what I used to do in that one hour. Yes, I used to just look at her. I was so obsessed with her and I actually wasn't quite aware of it. I thought it was okay. And it was actually, there wasn't anything much to worry about, since I wasn't failing or something like that. Well the next year, the 7th grade I wasn't in her class.

It was in this year that some of the girls came to know about this thing. So they began teasing me with her name. And the news spread, as expected and maybe that's the year that she came to know that I really liked her. I had liked her for the past 3 years. But I hadn't made any move yet . Not too many events this year so fast forward to the next year. The real story begins from here.
