School time stories..

We are now chaddi buddies. After so many years of torture, at least now we can call ourselves this. Lolll. Shikha has been the most amazing friend I have ever had. She will not believe me though but yes it does give me pleasure to announce it publicly today. We have been fighting way too much lately so it’s hard for her to buy it.

Moving back to the good old days, I miss those back bench mischief though I was never a part of it. I clandestinely appreciated it and enjoyed every bit of it. I was always an extremist. I liked it but never was a part of it because then my reputation amongst teachers would get spoilt. What a loser, I was. I missed all the fun my classmates had during the best days of each one of our lives.

Nikhil Sharma had just joined the school and he was this quiet and reserved chap during the initial days. Yes, it was only the initial days. Days passed and Nikhil still did not interacted much as he was new in the class. After few months, the entire class got shock of their lives when Nikhil started talking and talking and acted naughty, naughtier and became the naughtiest in the class. He was always a part of staff room gossips. Apparently, he was also adored by all of us. He was cute in his own ways.

Then came Richard, some distant relative of Mark Robinson and girls drooled over him. Of course, I was one amongst many. Unfortunately, guys did not even looked at me once forget the second glance. :( Thanks to my super cool spectacles and pony tail that made me look double by age. I was very nice to him and the classmates started teasing both of us. I felt awkward and did not want to agree with the fact that I have hots for him. And as I always do, I made him my Rakhi brother. Just to save the embarrassment and shut those mouths from talking crap. Adding to this, I saved him from embarrassment as he was being linked to the most not liked girl of the class. :P He was a sweet and caring boy and always cared for me like a li’l sister. He in fact addressed me as “li’l sister” (so cute na?). After few years, Richard left the school and we could never meet again. I still miss him.

I had many such friends, brothers and I completely adored all of them. I have a good but not so good habit of getting emotionally close to people quickly. As I said before,  I have been an extremist. I would either not make friends and if I do, I give more than 100% to it which at times turns out to be unfavourable. I have been advised so many times yet I am working on it. I have gradually started believing that I am born like this or may be I feel that’s best to do. 

Nevertheless, I shall try till I succeed.
