When I left for school on my bicycle, It was already 7:40 A.M. and my school starts at 8 A.M. and my school is 2 kilometres from my home and even there is a lot of traffic, so I have to ride the bicycle safely. I reached the school at 8:10 A.M. exactly and I was lucky that when I reached the school, I can still hear students from the prayer( so the classes haven't begun yet). After parking the cycle when I reached the school main campus, I noticed that all the students( wearing masks and keeping distancing) had already started to go into their classes. I just checked the list for my name, and found out my name and got shocked when I was in section 'E' of class 10. I first heard about this section, when I asked a boy there, He told me about making a new section to maintain social distancing. I just walked into my class and sat on the first bench in front of the teacher's desk ( because I like to be seated in front of the teacher and the seat was also empty). After being seated, I checked the whole classroom, There were 5 rows in the class with adequate space between each row. Every row is made up of a single table and chair. I was in the 3rd row. On my right are the other 2 rows of girls that were half-filled and on my left was boy's that were also half-filled. In my row, there was no one sitting other than me. All the boys are sitting in the back seats talking loudly. I just started thinking about the letter. "The letter had a fake envelope on it and then the original envelope to avoid it being noticed, if they sent it in original envelope, chances are people will open it, but if they had done this much- fake envelope, verification, stalking my family, then it is not a formal meeting, something of very much importance. And ..." " Hey you, this is girls' seat how can you sit here or do you want to sit with a girl. Get up." I Noticed a girl saying this loudly to me( because she wants me to feel shame, being scolded by a girl), but I just ignored her shouting and scanned my classroom( I was so busy in my thoughts that I didn't notice that the row in which I was sitting was full of girls except me and the boys' two rows aren't even full). I just picked up my bag and went to the other front seat in the boys' row. The girl became irritated as I just ignored her( and she didn't succeed in her mission of getting me to feel guilty.) " Why you are ignoring me like I am nobody. You know that was girls' seat but knowing that also, you seated there because you wanted to sit with a girl beside or behind you." I just said," Shut your mouth, I am sorry I seated there, now don't waste my and the class's time by shouting. Just sit there and be silent. And mind your manners as to how to speak to others." After this, her face was like she is just now bitten by lots of insults. She said, " See now who is talking, a pervert boy who.." " Shut your ugly mouth, you..., I don't want to say anything now go sit there " Then the teacher entered the class when she was about to say something. The teacher informed us that there is a meeting going on so your class teacher won't be able to come." In my free period, I started thinking about the letter. " The man first said he didn't know about our family matters and at the last, he said about the details being right, he sure has a lot of information about my family." I kept thinking about many explanations for many other questions that arise ( whenever I got time between periods). And now it's the lunch period, I have money but I don't want to eat anything so I just kept seated on my seat and tried to relax then, a girl's voice said," Hey you, see here, Are you Alok. Answer me". It's the same girl from the morning, why is she here? Does she want to have a verbal fight? or whatever. I replied politely," Yeah I am, and whatever work you have with me whether you want to say sorry or argue, just don't speak loudly." Everyone was staring at me as it was rare for a girl to come directly and talk to a boy without any classwork. She replied harshly as ever, "I got a letter yesterday and I was told to find Alokin my class and tell you this ' SOMETIMES THE HOBBIES CAN SAVE YOUR LIVE' now tell me do you know anything about it" And when I was about to reply, the teacher came because lunch was already over. I quickly said," Yeah I know what are you talking about, but wait for me at the cycle parking after school, I will tell you everything there"
