the first day(suhasini)

here i am, standing in front of the school gates wondering whether i should enter or not. in absence of any substantial reasons for not entering, i set my right foot on the other side of the gate. while seeing all those kids jumping in the ground, i can sense that nobody really is interested in the new child who is walking with her mother. i can't really say i am offended since it's nice not to have kids swarming over you as if you are the new sports equipment they've been waiting for so long.

i get a peck on my nose from my mother who i really hope would leave soon because now the spectators include a few teachers too. i am taken to my class which is just right for the forty surprised children it holds. i am strangely conscious of myself. i don't have my glasses with me so my teacher kindly seats me in front in the place of a girl. its obvious that she might just be the first of many who don't like me.

though there are many girls who have become friends with me but i am clearly aware of their scrutiny. gosh, they are so different from me! i am sure that girl in the corridor would have been punished had she been in my previous school. anyways this is my school now and its better that i soon become a comfortable part of it.

i think the boys are not bad. at least not that guy. he's smart. i can't say anything about the others. the rest are okay. most of them are quite decent.seeing form the class response i can make out that most of them are all right in studies.

by the end of the day i have two invitations for accompanying in the lunch period. my bag is heavy with notebooks which have to be photostated. and i am also very scared of french now.i hope i cover up quickly.
