Now that I finally finished packing my bag for school I rested on my bed, thinking of the big day ahead. I was going to become a high schooler , with aspirations and curiosity in my heart. I got 93% in my Class 10 Board Examinations and was satisfied with it even though I knew I could do way better. I was excited to go to my new class and start the new semester , like we all are in the beginning.

The next day, I went to school earlier than I used to in Class 10. The school bell rang at 7.55 but I reached school at about 7.00 and found a girl standing next to our new classroom for the year. She looked beautiful with breathtaking features on her face that made me wonder if she was real. She had a crimson coloured bag next to her and her spectacles were ruby red. Her hair reminded me of the fresh spring wind and her eyes were as deep as the ocean with a tint of hesitation.

I knew her for we were together in middle school and junior high but I never really noticed her that much and she was practically invisible to me.

There was no one whom I could talk to at that time so I broke the ice and went to her to talk. She gave vague expressions at first and I asked her as gently as I could,"Which stream did you choose?"

She stood blank for a second and then answered in a shrill yet pleasing voice,"Bio-science."

Her voice sounded like the morning breeze of the wintertime. She asked me my stream like anyone would for formal necessities. I was in the pure science division and for some reason the thought of attending classes with her got me nervous. I calmed myself down trying not to show her my nervousness and then suddenly there was a pat on my back.

It was one of my old friend and I went with him towards the auditorium.

Hence ended our first encounter which didn't seemed very promising but there was a stir that was constantly growing deep inside me.
