2:30 pm

Finally the day got over. It had been no less than an adventure. After the assembly, Sona was introduced to her new class. The teacher had introduced her as a 10 CGPA holder. The frown on Mr. KKS was priceless. Sona did her level best to make her mark in the class. After all she was not among those who would go unnoticed in any place she went. In the physics class when the teacher was discussing the 7 fundamental units she was the only one who knew the precise definition of a metre and the exact speed of light "299792458 m/s" her answer came as flash. The teacher was amazed and after praising her continued teaching further about those 7 fundamental units. Everyone paid attention to the teacher except Dev who was wondering that if he had 7 khoon maaf then Ms Potato would top the list.

Sona was heading towards her bus when she heard someone call

"Sonakshi .. Sonakshi..."

She turned back and saw a boy rushing towards her. She recognized him as Dev's friend. Sonakshi wondered why was he running like this calling her ?

Jatin: "Hi Sonakshi ... you had left your notes in the class."

Sona : "Oh !! Thank You so much "

Jatin: I am Jatin ... we are in the same class and... in the same bus too... Here are your notes

Jatin took out her notes from his bag.

Jatin: Chalein ??

Sona: Where ?

Jatin: Towards the bus

Sona: Oh !!

Jatin: What? Are you not comfortable in walking with me. I won't eat you up. PROMISE. I can't eat even kill a mosquito ... I AM THAT HARMLESS

Sona(Laughing): Nooo... that's not the matter. It's just that your classmates seem a bit reluctant to talk to me.

Jatin: First of all our classmates, its your school too & what made you think so?

Sona: I don't know.................

They crossed the length of the main ground. Their class was in the rear wing of the school. It was a 5 minutes' walk from their class. Jatin told Sona that he heard her telling someone that she had just shifted from Kolkata and told her that he was a Bengali too. That established a quick connection between them. When they reached the bus Sona found a seat in the front while Jatin moved to the last seat to join Dev and his gang.

Jatin was just about to sit when his eyes met Dev's enquiring eyes. Dev narrowed his eyes he had turned all red.

"What? So you have turned a tomato after fighting with Ms. Potato" asked Jatin

"It was not funny Jatin. I thought you'll sit in the front today" replied Dev with a dejected tone

Jatin: And why would I ?

Dev: Don't you dare try to fool me. I am your childhood friend. I have seen you grow up in front of me.

Jatin: Now don't start your drama. You are sounding like my grandma.

Dev: Ya ya ..Now I'll definitely sound boring to you. Let me tell you and listen to me very clearly if you happen to harbor any feelings for that girl I'll bury them alive. You are my friend and I won't share you with her

Jatin: Woaahoo .. Hold on now I get it. See Sonakshi had left her notes in the class and I was just returning it. She is new here I offered to walk with her to the bus. It's all normal.

Dev: Whatever ........

The rest of the journey went in complete silence.

On her seat Sona was sitting peacefully .... enjoying the view from her window.

"I see the lush green fields..

Stretched till the horizon

How can you distinguish what are flowers & what are weeds ......

Uhhh ..Weeds.. weeds .. Sona's thoughts were disturbed she felt someone staring at her. She turned her head from the window and saw 2 girls of 10-12 years of age.

Sona: Do you have something to say

Girl 1: You are amazing

Girl 2: You fought with Dev Bhaiya in the morning. No one in the entire school can pluck the courage to do so

Girl 1: You are amazing

Sona: You should not hold that kuposhan ka shikar in such high esteem.

The girls introduced themselves as Nikki and Riya. They were sisters. Riya was 12 years old while Nikki was 10 years old. The rest of the journey was a hilarious one. Sona had a great time listening to Nikki's adorable senseless talk.

It seems that Sona is getting along with someone atleast
