As I entered the classroom with Miss. Laila, all eyes are on me, especially the girls. I introduced Myself as A Transfer student and ignored every other thing and the stares from everyone. I went to the last desk, where no one was present. But all started talking by glancing at me, and I didn't feel anything New. I ignored them as I was not interested in their bullsh*t and started watching outside the window.

After a few minutes, I realised someone was sitting beside me. With glasses covering her face and her hair in a messy ponytail. She was glaring at me and questioned me," Why are you sitting in my place??" was the first thing that left her mouth. After seeing me, she kept quiet for a minute and questioned "Are you stalking ME??".

But somewhere, I had seen her but did not clearly Remember where it was. That's when I questioned back," Why would I stalk you, without even knowing you?".

She glared at me and said," Then why did you follow me last night? Now you're here too, sitting beside me even after there are many empty seats".Now I remember that she is the girl I met last night.

"I think you're the one stalking me", countered back with a smirk.  She raised her one eyebrow, trying to question, but turned to the other side and murmured, 'JERK', continuing her work. I said, "I heard". She doesn't say anything after that. Me too done the same. After the period was over, I got up to know about my new school. Everyone was staring at me, mostly girls, and that was normal for m,e, so I ignored them. I went out, but they started following me, giggling. Feeling annoyed with their presence I went to Washroom.

But there were boys gathered in the small space, making it difficult to move in. All are watching a guy beating the shit out of him. Without stopping it, these boys stare at them silently, which makes my blood boil. Is everyone blind ?? I wanted to stop this, As the guy was kicking the shit out of him. But I can't be involved unnecessarily in some other matters. I moved inside, ignoring them, making space for myself, and pushing the other boys aside, but the boy who was hitting me stopped me, placing a hand on my chest and started shouting. I just ignored him as this is not enough... So I moved, which made him punch me. Now is perfect to beat him. I punched his stomach, which made him spit blood and move back. But other boys entered the scene, which made my nerves erect and blood flow through my spine. I punched the mouth of a guy, which showed a cut, and suddenly, others held me strong; that's when a few other members entered with the hurt boy.

They started fighting against each other until Miss. Laila and the other teacher came to the sight, stopping the fight. All of us went to the principal room and the guy who started fighting got suspended for a week named Harshad. We got to have detention after school for an hour.

After exiting the room, the beaten-up boy stopped me, said Thank you and introduced himself as Kabir. The boys who came to the rescue were Dhruv introduced himself, and the others were Arya, Ram, Krish, and Rishi.

I nodded and turned to go to class, but Kabir pestered me to go out to get some fresh air or to the cafe just to celebrate this. I don't find it good because he was not in good condition and should have rest. But saying No to Kabir is a difficult task, I understood. Then we went to the cafeteria and had a small party. I got to know that Harshad and Kabir are like enemies and always have fights with each other because they both wanted to be cricket captains. Both are very good players, But coach Samuel made Kabir as captain, leading to this due to Harshad's misbehaviour. As the next period was about to start, we left the cafeteria.

I was late for my maths class and got a glare from the Maths teacher. He asked me "Where have you been?, Are you the new transfer student who got in a fight with the disgusting look? Which I don't mind. I just went to my place.

Everyone started glancing at me. But only one girl sitting beside me asked me, "Why did you get into a fight on your first day? What if your parents knew about this?" she asked with concern in her eyes.

I just stared at her; even without knowing me,, she showed concern towards me. I was tempted to say, "They don't hear about any of this or anything because they died". It only makes them pity me, which I ever hate. So I ignored her saying, 'Mind your own business'. She felt hurt, but she quickly covered it with anger. She gave me notes before class and instructed me to copy them today at home and return them tomorrow. I glared at her," Can't you do your own business". But ignoring me she kept it in my bag and returned to her work.

-Lunch break-

All are going to have lunch at the cafeteria. I sat down, collected my lunch plate from far away from the crowd, and started eating. But some of the girls followed and sat beside my table. The girl's giggling became more evident when some other boys came into view, which I found were Kabir and his friends. They came to me and sat with me. Kabir hugged me and again Thanked me. When Kabir asked some girl to get her lunch. She got him lunch and gave it with respect. I pity them for how low they were.....

She came as my bench partner(I forgot to ask her name) with another girl, maybe her friend, who was exactly the opposite of her good-looking, wearing a short dress which perfectly hugged her like a second skin, revealing much of her skin. She tripped and fell off with her plate, which was scattered all over the floor. I found that she got tripped because of Kabir, but he said, "Oops, sorry", in a sarcastic way She didn't support or help her but stared at us without showing concern for her friend.

She got up, got her plate, cleaned the mess, and left; her friend, too, followed her. I wanted to follow but became silent. Then Dhruv asked, "Why do you always do that to her?" in an angry voice and left the spot. But Kabir shrugged it off and continued eating. I, too, suggested that you had done wrong to her, made him reply, "Why are both of you making me villain here? I just found it funny?". All resumed their eating.

After lunch break, I went to class, but she was not there. I waited for her to come till class was about to start, but did not come. I went in search of her and found her on the terrace, where she was crying. My presence made her look towards me rubbing her tears off. "Why did you come to insult me again? What your friends did was not enough; you, too, want to bully me?" She asked trembling.

I just sat down with her without knowing what to do?. After some time, she turned and asked me to go to the class. But I sat silent. "You will be late to class So Go," she said. But I said NO. "Without you, I'm not going", I declared. She gave up after watching me wait. Then she got up. I started saying, "You are my first friend here, and never think otherwise."

"I don't have any friends other than Aliya here, Are you sure you want to be my friend? She asked with doubt in his tone. I assured her. With that, she showed me her hand, for a handshake, which I gladly took. "I'm Nadini; you can call me Nandu. After all, you are a friend", she said with happiness. I introduced myself as Manik.

Then we entered class and started doing our work. The day went blurry. In detention class, we all slept, but to our dismay, Kabir got up early and started chatting with each other, making loud noises that made Mam notice and extend our detention time. After that, we got out to the home.

It was too late when I reached home. Grandpa was waiting for me in the hall and shouted at me about the fight, which I ignored. I ate dinner and went to sleep. Today's events all came to my view.

This was the first day of school, but I made many different friends and thought about my parents becoming less Than before. Maybe this might be a good change in my life, I hope. Feeling tired I fell asleep.

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

What do you think about Manik? Would this be a good change in his life?
