Oh my god ! The clock crossed 8.30am! I'm still in bed. I have to rush up to school in less than a hour. I already begun to smell the tragedy or a feel that something is going to happen. I don't have time to figure it out. I'm running out of time. Still got only curd rice for lunch (without lays). It's not fair mom! I started to peddle faster. My breathe became heavier. I used the short cut to reach early but, unfortunately it ended up in vain. It is closed at the end. I have to go back the whole way.
My Spidey sense begun to warn by whispering "to get prepared". For the second time, I ignored it. I'm near to the school gates.The bell has ranged. As a punishment I was compelled to stand outside with other late comers. Having a huge smile inside. My whole class looked me weird. I know I wasn't supposed to happy as a latecomer. But she was sitting in the first row, which is nearer to class door. And I was standing near to it. It's just 5 feet distance between us. I tried to keep my eyes shut. But I failed. I secretly wished to stand for all the 8 periods, counting every happy moment. I was living in my own fantasy, until her friend found me seeing her. She begun to whisper something to her. I felt colder in my sweat shirt. Her face begun to turn red. She got tensed. My mind remained frozen. We are allowed to enter into the class in the second period. But our class teacher is bit late. Within the loud voice, a silent gossip took place. I wasn't aware of it.
After sometime, one boy said to me, with a evil smile " I know man".
"what do you know ? Come to the point.".
"I know everything".
"please tell me what do you know?".
"I know you are in love with Shree (her name)".
"how do you know?"
He laughed and moved. He signaled it to the girl side.I realized how stupidly to fell into a pit like this. Her friends were testing me. I didn't take it serious untill she begun to cry! It spread like a fire in 10 minutes to the whole class and in an hour to the whole batch of our 8th grade(for 5 sections). What I feared for these days has happened today. The tragedy has come alive. She felt very bad because of me. I also feared that It may go to the ears of our teachers sooner or later. I'm scared and broken. Her eyes were filled with tears mixed up with black kajal and water from her eyelid. It slipped me to fell in love with her again. I know I made her cry. For which, I was dying inside. lovable she.....❤️
