Different Shades Of Life

I finally found, This Girl...

I didn't know how I feel going back to the same school after 3 years. My Mom said that school was best for boys. That's the only reason a Mom gave her son for transferring him to this school. I didn't have a slightest idea that why a school would be good for boys when it was a damned co-ed school. I've studied in that school upto 7th grade but going back as a 11th grader and seeing some of my childhood friends seemed somewhat different, I really didn't know how I feel about that. Let's see what's there in for me.

It was third period of my first day in my old school, physics teacher was teaching something that couldn't able to grasp. It was not like that I paid any attention. My first day was so far so good with boring lectures.

Three months passed, I didn't got any familiar with the school and I have friends but something's missing, it was like I didn't look forward to go to school. No adventure perhaps. Who knows. I couldn't able to put my finger on that. Like any other day my physics teacher was yelling at someone for assignments, I submitted my assignment so I just sat and relaxed myself. I was watching around the class and looking at everyone. When everyone was staring at our physics teacher, one girl was staring at me. I didn't know her name may be she was a new student here. How could I not know a girl's name in my class even after 3 months I spent here. Ok, I mentally patted my back for being a good boy. But evenly I felt like I washed so much time in adjusting myself here that I didn't even know the name of some people in my class. I felt bad. I snapped myself out of the trance and looked at her.  I raised my brows at her, she didn't respond and continued staring. That's when I noted that she was not staring at me, actually she was staring above me. She was literally staring at walls. Those damn walls but my face was better than those. Really I would pass for an handsome looking guy. I wasn't exaggerating, I swear that I was way too better than white walls. Hey give a guy some credits. Disappointment coursed through it's way when I realised that she was not looking at me.

"What's her name?" I nudged my friend Vikrant.
"Sara", he said as a matter of fact. He turned to look at me. "Why do you want to know? I thought you was not interested in this school and that included this school girls. What happened to my paranoid Ajay?", Vikrant wiggled his brows at me.
"I'm not paranoid Vik", I said in defensive tone. It's like I reminded that to myself than him.
"So it's Sara", I thought to myself.

So with nothing much to do, I roamed around in the playground after school. My thoughts were going back to Sara. There's something about her that interested my boring life.

Next day and the very next day and mostly every day I watched her. I want to know about her badly.
After some weeks, our annual function day came, I decided to muster up my damn courage and talk to Sara. Big decision though. After the function got over, I went to search for her. She was like skilled ninja, one minute she was 20 feet ahead of me and the next minute she was gone. I searched for her atleast 10 minutes, I couldn't able to find her. Then I decided to look for her in the parking lot. So I went there, obviously.

When I neared the parking lot I saw a girl from my biology class. I hoped that she saw Sara. I went near her and saw she was fidgeting her keychain and looking at her feet with a sad face. One minute I forgot what I was doing there and felt sad for her. I didn't know why I did, what I did at that moment. I just stood there and watched her.

She looked up from the ground and faced me. All the sadness was vanished from her face, she masked it with little smile. I smiled at her futile effort. She arched her brow and asked me, "What?"

That's when I realised I was searching for Sara. "Oh my god! I'm gonna miss her, I'm wasting my time here", I murmured to myself.
"Did you see Sara?" I asked her hoping that she would know.
"Yeah. She went home. You should have asked me when you arrived here, that's when she left", she answered calmly.
"You should have told me that before. You knew I was standing here?", I said almost, almost in a accusing tone. I didn't mean to accuse her because she didn't do anything wrong but it came out that way.
She narrowed her eyes at me and looked at me like I grown an extra third eye on my head.
She just shakes her head and said, "Because you are dumb and stupid, I would give you an advice", she mocked at me.
I was utterly shocked to her response and opened my mouth but nothing came out. It felt like I deserved it. I forgot to form a coherent sentence, this damn girl.
"She's not your type and she has a boyfriend", she said casually.
"Why would you think that I'm hitting on her? Maybe I was going to ask her for a physics assignment", I asked her and smiled my I-got-you-smile and arched my right brow.
She laughed.
"You really are something, aren't you?" she asked while laughing.
I just shrugged like I had this conversation.
"I know you're going to hit on her and you failed again, you missed her by 5 minutes", she said apologetically.
I narrowed my eyes on her. She just laughed and said, "Do you think that I believed when you said you're going to get physics assignment from her? Dumbo we already submitted our physics assignment today. Remember?"
Oh my God, this girl had me cornered. I didn't know where that sad looking girl went, who I saw few minutes ago.
I just shook my head and laughed.
I really forgot something important here, Sara.
But I found what I'm missing in this school. This girl and me going to make a hit pair of best friends.

Ha! I finally found, This girl.....
