Hello guys!
I have started to write a fanfiction pin-pointing all the troubles of teenagers and other such people living in this earth.
There are a couple of chapters and each chapter is a one-shot.
NOTE: This chapter is specially dedicated to the ones who never had any close friends in school, but there is always one person who will be there for you. Be it from the same school, your family or your friends in social media or in locality.
I don't own the song-You've got a friend. Rightfully to Carol King.
Okay, here we go!
~Chapter 1: You've got a friend~
I don't know how and why I ended up as a gruff, lonely teenager, here in this suffocating land. In my life, I never wanted to be like this. I am all the way from a river village, where I used to be happy as a cheerful, jovial and a non-melancholic person. In my village, I felt very natural, humane and serene, but…. I ended up here as a lonely girl, without any companions, friends or pals. Just me. I am really fed up of wearing this navy-blue and white uniform, coming all the way to this land, even the graveyard is less bad than this. Carrying loads of heavy books on my crying shoulders and wearing the lose thick white socks, I feel like I am being doomed. I never wanted to live a life like this. I have become more melancholic than ever.
Each and every person is with some group or the other, but I am all alone just by myself. Just me. It's just me. I don't have anybody except for my aunt who takes care of me and half the time away from home, and had to engage in night duties as she is a cop. I'll cook for myself alone. Joseph is very happy. He got more friends than he expected, because, I don't know why. Why should I end up like this? In my life, I never wanted to do sciences at all! Carrying the damn Physics book on my back, I feel that the earth's gravity is trying to sooth me. These chemistry book make me feel the stupid bullshit smell coming from septic tanks. The Biology text makes my heart pounding in fear after I step on this dumb land. The math makes me to feel and wallow about the unsolved problems which I have in my life. The education system is way too outdated when compared to the advance in science and technology, so why can't we bring about a change? A world without books, but learning. A world without backpacks but a bag of knowledge. A world without exams, but tests which test the humanity! These are necessary. What to do! World has become like this. I feel so suffocating, arrested, doomed, and left out, and so on! I have endless and numerous words to tell! I am less free to voice out my opinions.
One day, the math teacher was teaching us quadratic equations. I wasn't clear with that concept, so I asked her a doubt regarding that. But, she called me up and asked me to stretch my hand. She just slapped the One-meter wooden scale against my pale palm! You all should have known how painful it was. Others acted as if they understood though they really didn't because, after the class got over, a group of few girls asked me to send the math homework through WhatsApp. But, I refused for a countless number of times, but I unwillingly accepted after I was blackmailed by them. What an unfair life it was? And, I know that you all are wondering how I did that bloody homework by myself though I didn't understand each and every single word told by her. Every night, I sit and learn everything by myself. I had to spend nights after nights for this holy shit. If I had understood what teachers taught me, I would have finished my works faster and would have had extra time to sleep at nights, so I can pay good attention during school hours. But, how are you expecting me to life a life like this?
At least, my science teachers are way far better. Though they don't teach well, they at least clarify doubts. I too enjoy English classes because our teacher has a good sense of humor.
I too enjoy the PT classes because I love sports a lot! I am good at them too! But, my math teacher frequently borrows periods though the principal restricts it and our asses grow big by sitting on the same place. Why can't somebody understand me well?
I have someone who is very close. But, he is from another section. There are possibilities for us to be together after school hours, but our homes are far away from each other. But, we talk to each other by phones if possible during this burden of the 12th grade. I wish we could be in the same section.
My school principal loves me so much. It was her fate to work as a principal of this school. What to do? She too told me that she wanted to work as a computer engineer, but her father forced her to work in a school after his retirement. Unfortunately, he died. Now, Mrs. Shinohara, my school principal ended up here. Why should she come here? She is trying her best to renovate the school, but she doesn't have so much of money as well. So, she ended up here, leading a miserable life. She is always all alone… She too doesn't have anybody to support them. So, I go and console her whenever I have time.
Umm…. Yeah.
Why? I never wanted to live a life like this! I don't blame the land, but the school. I prefer studying in a school with an open environment, where I could get good friends and good air. Here, I feel like a prisoner.
Her eyes started to glimmer at the blue sky. Crossing her arms and looking at it, she feels that she wanted to go to heaven and live there instead. She is studying here because neither of her village pals had the chance to do so. She thought of utilizing the education offer, but she doesn't seem to be satisfied with it.
She is fed up of wearing the same blue and white dress with the red bow, carrying loads of books on her back, which can deform her as well if care is not taken.
She gently leaned on the cold wall.
"Mariam?" Someone called.
The blunette turned back and saw a dual-haired teenager, "Ozuma?"
His eyes became cerise in sadness, after he looked at that girl. He knew why.
He walked to her as fast as that of a tortoise on the golden grains.
"Mariam…. Guess you need to drink some water."
The dual-haired gently clasped her hand and guided her to the classroom. Nobody was there, except for the two.
The dual-haired took his flask from his bag and opened it before handing it to her.
Ozuma was the only person to support her, but they both aren't from the same sections as well. She wanted to go change Ozuma's section but she thought that there were so many bullies there as well, so she often resisted to initiate it. After gulping some water, she gave the flask to him.
"I am sorry Ozuma, I guess I drank a lot from this."
"It's okay Mariam, more than that you are my friend! I am ready to do anything for you!"
"Ozuma, I wanna ask you something. I wanted to come to your section. Shall we ask Ms. Shinohara regarding this?"
"Why not Mari? We'll do that! Come, she will be free right now! It's better that we ask her now or else it's difficult to catch her."
The female blunette nodded.
They gently knocked the rosewood door, having a name plate which tells, "Sumire Shinohara."
"May we come in Ms. Shinohara?"
"Yes, you can come in Ozuma."
The dual-haired gently pushed the door, as the pivot made a creaky sound. A beautiful lady possessing a silky cinnamon hair ending on her shoulders, beamed at them with her medium-pink rosy lips. She gently adjusted her multi-colored designed stole having a white background. She beautifully presented herself in parrot green full-sleeve top and a wood-colored skirt. Her ebony orbs was filled with divine and gentleness.
"Please come and make yourselves comfortable children."
The two teens sat facing opposite to her.
"Okay tell me, do you both have any concerns?" asked the principal.
"Yes mam. I am not willing to study in section-12B. I am willing to go to 12A. Can I mam?"
"Okay dear, but there a lot of students who will bully you there sear. More than that, I am concerned for you Mari. What will happen to you dear?"
The blunette's eyes started to glimmer, "Ms. Sumire! I have no friends apart from Ozuma in this school! The girls just ignore me, the boys stealthily tease me! But Ozuma and few of his friends are the ones who support me!"
Keeping her flat palms against each other, she pleaded, "Please! I beg you mam! Please!"
The principal gently wiped her tears. Retreating her hand from the saline cascade of hers, she held her chin and started to think. She said after removing her fingers from her chin, "We'll do one thing. Let Ozuma and his friends move to 12B and we'll ask few from 12B to go to 12A. Just like an exchange for setting the strengths of each class equally."
The two teens looked at each other for some time. They shared a jovial and a satisfying expression!
"Are you okay Ozuma? Anyways, the portions for your twelfth exams are completed, so it's just revision. Thereby, this can't harm the portions as well."
The teens got up and greeted, "Thank you so much mam!"
"We will make sure that we'll value this and won't talk during class hours mam!" said the blunette.
"I can always trust children like you dear."
After leaving that room, they decided to go out for a walk. It was a free period so everybody went out with their groups.
The dual-haired gently clasped her hands and walked out.
They smiled at each other. She forgot her weariness, because she is with him. She knew that she can live hopefully now.
When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, oh yeah baby, to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you've got to do is call
And I'll be there, ye, ye, ye
You've got a friend
If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud now
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door
There is always a person who will be behind you to support you. You ain't lonely. One person is always there for another living being. A life shall not be filled with grudge, loneliness and neglect. Each and every being is a creation of god. So, each and every being deserves a friend. Be it one or hundred…
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, oh yes I will, to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall, ye
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, ye, ye, yeah
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them, oh yeah, don't you let 'em now
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again, oh baby, don't you know
Winter, spring, summer or fall
Hey now, all you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I will
You've got a friend
You've got a friend, yeah
The both looked at each other for a while. They were friends before, but they feel like they are becoming friends again, as if they are meeting each other for the first time. They gently hugged each other, giving a warm welcome to their friendship to create a sense of solitude and bliss.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
Oh, ye yeah, you've got a friend
So, there will be at least a friend for you in your life. Be it one whom you know very well, be it one whom you have encountered in social media or in online or be it one from any websites whose face you haven't seen at all. A friend is a friend. There are a very few friends who can be trusted, but that is good in a way too. Therefore, don't spare the lonely ones… If you do so, you'll later feel the loneliness in the future. You'll face it. So, keep people around you happy.
Okay, do you want me to burry this story in coffin or continue it? :P
As I said, this fic will have a couple of chapters where each chapter is a one-shot. So, next chap another situation comes!
So, as I said, don't leave out any person around you who feels lonely. Let's be good friends! ^_^
