I went to school. I reached before Alice. I was thinking whether she will stay with me or not. All those what ifs came on my mind until she entered the class. She... she smiled said hello and sat with me. I was so happy. Then she was my only friend. And although she talked to others I thought she felt comfortable with me. Time passed on.
After a few weeks we had a test. I knew that the topper girl who is beautiful will again top this time. She had been topper since I jumped the class. She also helped me sometimes before but also we were not close. Then we had our tests. I did okay like always. On the result day everyone was shocked. This time the topper has changed. It was none other than Alice. I never knew she was a studious girl. Again I had different thoughts. As she is a topper now many of them started talking to her more. So I was afraid again to lose her. But she was always with me so I felt happy.
In our school we had to choose if we would go to dance club or music club. Obviously I loved to learn dance and as there were no girl from our class in music club I would choose dance. But unfortunately, the dance teacher had sent me to the music club one year ago. I was like banned from the dance group.
The reason was because two years before there was a huge program held in our school. Many students performed many things. So for the performance I was in dance. It was type of a couple dance. But due to less number of boys interested in dance I was forced to do the boy part. On that day I told my teacher many times I did not want to do the boy part so let my other friend, Tanie do it. But everyone in that group including teacher forced me to do. I felt why it should be me? That day I almost cried in front of everyone but I controlled my tears. But I cried alone at night in my home before sleeping. Obviously I was embarrassed because I was the only girl who would dance in a place of a boy. But I practiced dance because I knew no one would support me.
However unfortunately, on the day of the program I became ill and I did not go to school. I got many calls and no one was in home when the calls came. So no one picked up. I was in bed. I could not wake up. I felt worried for my partner whole day. I did not go to school the next day also, due to my illness. When I went school next day everyone scolded me. They thought I betrayed them especially my dance partner. So this was the reason that time my dance teacher sent me to music club.
So the new comers had to choose one club. One year I was alone girl from my class in music group. I learnt basics of piano. This year I did not want to be alone. Alice asked me which group I was in. I told it was music group. I thought she would choose dance group but she chose music group. I was so happy. Then after days passed she became my best friend. Because of her I got to be friends with other friends also. She also helped me in my studies. Then I also started increasing my scores. Her friendship was the best thing that happened to me. I started talking to others slowly. I also participated in some competitions although I did not win. Well my other friends even started calling me with the names like fatty and all and even started to tease me with guy friends’ names. Whenever someone had to call me they called me with different types of names like fatso, fatty, hippo … At first when someone called me with such names I was confused and got laughed at. But it had become a habit now. But Alice told me that she did not like the way people called me so only she called me with my own name “Sarah”.
My friends teased me with the name of the most handsome guy in our class. Not because we had something but he was teased by almost everyone's name. Although he was good in studies, he was the second topper every time. His name is Tyler. Since Alice was topper now he became third in position. Alice and he never had good communication. They were like rivals. I always thought him as a playboy. One day, in lunch time he proposed that beautiful second topper girl in front of whole class. Everyone cheered for him. As for me I never liked him as in my head he was a playboy. I thought he was a playboy because I had heard he had a girlfriend and there was much not time for their break up he proposed another girl. Then Jazz (second topper) said him to give her some time to think. It was a weekend after that day. So I didn't know what happen to their relation.Until one day, we had a picnic. This time I had a friend, so I went. I was happy and excited. The spot was beautif
Alice said, “Tyler did not let anyone sit on that bench saying that it was reserved for Sarah. So everyone forced you to sit there." I was shocked at first. I replied, “Why would he?” Inside my heart I asked myself, why would he do that, why for me? Many thoughts crossed my mind. I thought if I was the next target like Jazz and Tanie. But I also felt touched for his actions. I do not know I was happy maybe. No one had ever done that for me. After thinking for a while I remembered I had taken notes for him last time. Finally I thought that was the reason. But again I was late in fact so he had his notes by himself why would he keep the seat for me. Ha-ha I also thought if he liked me. Well maybe it was this moment I started liking him. I do not know the reason but I started noticing him since then. I was swayed away by my thoughts until Alice replied me.She obviously started teasing me saying that he liked me. I s
I am in school. I am being praised by everyone. Everyone liked me now. Our school was holding a big program. So everyone was practicing something they like. I was just sitting thinking what should I do. I always loved being a host. But I get nervous in front of crowd many times. So I dumped the idea. While I was wondering what should I do, suddenly Tyler came got on his knees in front of me and said, “Sarah, will you be my partner for the dance?” Everyone who had been practicing was diverted because Tyler got on his knees. So everyone said to accept the request. I was already flushed when he got on knees. I was also shocked because there was no couple dance this time then why did he say so. Also why did he choose me? But I got my senses back and said slowly, “I don't know how to dance.” He said, “Don’t worry, you just need to follow my lead. I will help you.” Everyone was telling me to accept. So I
When the days were passing by just like that. One day it was raining when I was in school. During lunch, Alice and I went to classroom after we had lunch. Tyler, Saww and few friends were there. We sat on our place. I insisted Alice to sing song. Well everyone in the class knew she sang well and had a beautiful voice. Well maybe she also was in mood, she started singing. At first everyone listened, even Tyler who was on the opposite side of our bench looked and listened but at another song Tyler was occupied with his own chats with other friends and Alice's song was like a background music for them. It was romantic songs she sang. Then Alice also started insisting me to sing. I never had sang in front of anyone before. So I denied at first.But she started threatening me, “I will never sing again next time if you don't sing today.” So I agreed. I started with a romantic song. When I started almost everyone had looked at me. I first did not
When we returned home, the situation was kind of tensed or what to say maybe sad. Well, my maternal grandfather (mother’s father) passed away. I was shocked from the news. I was attached to him. Although we did not live in the same house, I respected him. He also loved and cared about me. I went to see him for the last time with my family in his house. Whole way I was too quiet. After I reached I saw that… that he was lying down lifelessly. When I saw him, I could not cry. I could not speak a word. I felt my heart heavy. I could not believe that he left us. I could hear crying sounds. Maybe people thought me heartless because I did not shredded a tear. But deep inside I knew how I felt. That after his ceremony, everyone went back to their places. I was in my room alone. I could not sleep. I did not eat anything also. I cried until late night and did not sleep before 3a.m.The next day everyone was mournful. I did not go to school. M
For a few days nothing exciting happened in school. We had pressure on us to study. Our test was on head. Everyone was studying hard. Well I am not so fond of studying, so I was not working hard like others. I was like if I understood in class and once I read the subjects I would do exams satisfactorily. Alice was on different level. She really studied hard every time. Even when she had leisure time she would study. So one day I asked her why she did so. The she replied, “I always love studying. It is not like I am protecting my first position but as I loved to study it was like killing two birds with one stone." I was surprised by her answer and told her to not to pressure herself much. Because I did not love studying so I thought she was bluffing. But what she told was true.My mom and her mom had trusted each other with us. If we had go anywhere, my mom would let me go if she went and she did not let me go if she did not g
“Sarah”It was Kyle who chose me. When I heard that Tyler actually chose Tanie I felt like the sky crash landed on me. I was really sad. But I was also thankful that Kyle chose me than her sister. If he also would have chosen Tanie then the situation would be bad. Anyways as I was thankful to Kyle I thought that I will give my best in this game although I did not know how to play properly. The game started. Until half time we had equal scores and I did not do much just passed the ball when it was on my hand. Then, after half time, it started again. I somewhat understood the rules. Then, Tanie had the ball, she was going for her score, but before that I snatched it from her and went with the ball and scored in my basket. I was so happy. I scored totally two times. Tanie could not get point for her group and also made mistakes which leaded to decrease few points of her group. At the end, we won the game. I was so happy.The first reason was because I als
It was Kyle who opened the door. He saw me, I tried to stop crying but tears well still flowing from my eyes. So, I looked at the other side. He came in and closed the door. Alice was so angry that she yelled at Kyle, “What have you come for now? Does your sister…” I grabbed Alice's hand to stop her. Then, I wiped my tears on my face and turned to them. My eyes were red and I was controlling my tears from falling down. When I saw him he was actually shocked by what Alice said. He looked confused. Then, I asked in a low and shaky voice, “Why are you here?” He replied, “I was passing by and saw you crying so I came in. Sorry, if I interrupted.” He was about to leave. My tears had fallen again. Alice saw me and she could not control herself and yelled again, “Tell your sister that one day her turn will also come.” Kyle who was almost at the door stopped. I was afraid because I thought if Tanie could do those things then Kyl
