Like Warmth In Winter

1. This starts with a good note.

Life is hell if you have to wake up at six every morning, at least for a kid like me who loves to sleep and dream of a world which is impossible to build in reality. I'm lying on my bed thinking what if we could sleep our entire life and why reality exists?

"Riya!! " Mom shouts from the kitchen. I'm suddenly brought back to the reality that kids need to go to school everyday. So, I jump out of my bed before tying my long wavy black hair into a bun and like any innocent kid get dressed for school. Honestly, I don't think there's anything like dressing up because everything is fixed in schools from the clothes you wear to the hairstyles you do. So, after envying the kids who can dress up like anything they want to, I set off for school.

I drive to school on my two - wheeler which was of my brother's some four years ago, just one of the demerits of being a younger kid. It's a very small five minute drive to my school, so I always enjoy the cool breeze and bumpy roads which leads me to a place which is a knowledge factory for small and a necessity for big fellows, like me.
I quickly park my vehicle in the lot and I'm just on my way to the school building when someone taps on the back of my head.

"Who the hell...." I'm half angry and half relieved to see my best friend standing with her arms crossed.
"Oh Vani it's you, good morning and stop hitting people on the back of there head, especially when they are on there way to begin there awesome day. It really freaks them out. " I say slightly annoyed.
"Well I will definitely hit my best friend if she ignores me when she is just a few metres away from me and good morning to you too." She says frustrated.
"Oh I'm really sorry Vani I really didn't see you, I was so caught up by my thoughts. " I explained and felt guilty immediately.
"It's okay I'm letting you go this time but make sure this won't happen again" She says pointing her forefinger towards me.
"Go to hell, I never make promises to my best friend" I say jokingly.
"C'mon! why is it necessary for you to be so annoying? "
"It's just in my blood" I said honestly.

Vani is my best friend. We have known each other for two years. She is a complete extrovert just opposite of what I am. She is full of energy and enthusiasm. We do have some common hobbies like gossiping and reading YAs. She is very special to me as she was the only one who came to me when I was alone. She grabbed my hand and pulled me out of my comfort zone which was loneliness. She introduced me to her popular friends. She has always stood beside me in every difficult situation. And most importantly she is the only one who listens to me and let me express myself completely.

"Fine whatever, hey I got some news for you" She says curiously.
"Now what? Don't tell me tuffy learned this new amazing trick!!" I say sarcastically.
"Oh no, he is still working on it the news is that Nirali broke up with aayan."
"I knew it! Some day it was going to happen. Finally something good happened in this hopeless world, now we got a fabulous start to this day." I say stretching my arms wide enough which could embrace the whole world.
"Everyday is fabulous Ri it's just that you don't see it. And yes by the way talking about tuffy he has finally learned how to do a handshake. I'm really proud of this guy."
"So am I, but that's not the same with you because you managed to get us late for the attendance. Again." I say furiously after glancing at my watch. Then I start heading towards the school building.

Vani comes quickly to my side matching my pace.
"Hey wait, I've apologised for that before and I will do that again if we miss the attendance today. But still admit it the 'Mrs Verma hit Mr Verma's head with flower pot' incident was worth listening" She looks at me expectantly.
"Fine" I quickly smile before rolling my eyes and enter the school building.
