First day at school

.

.

.

.

I was unable to sleep the whole night. The thoughts of the Shetty boy were running across my mind. I was unable to take my eyes off him in the party. He seemed a nice guy. Only if I could've got a chance to talk to him more.

I-I-I-I-I

I was supposed to be woken up by Abhi, but it never happened. I was awake by 5. I had always had this habit. Whenever there was anything important during the day, I would always be up early.

But what was so special today?

Ah, first day at school, of course.

I-I-I-I-I

"Morning sweet heart," I heard Abhijeet say on the phone.

'Tarika' I chucked.

"Yeah..." Abhijeet continued "Of course. What?! Ha ha ha! No, no, no! Of course not! What? Now? Umm... okay? Just drive safely, okay?"

He finally noticed me and smiled. I mouthed a 'good morning' and he did the same.

"Yeah, okay. I'll just drop by your office and... huh? At 11? Okay. Yeah, yeah. I'm free. Okay, meet you soon... goodbye." and he hung up.

"So, what's for breakfast Mr Romeo?" I teased him.

"Sandwiches?" he said.

"You're asking or telling me?"

"Whatever," he rolled his eyes.

"Well, I gotta go, coz I don't wanna be late for the first day at school," I said as I put my backpack on my shoulders.

"Aha!" he said and hugged me. "Best of luck!"

I-I-I-I-I

I parked my car just next to something I suppose as a lawn and made my way to the entrance.

More than forty pairs of eyes were staring at me as I made my way through the corridor. It was May, middle of the semester. Probably, that is the reason why they looked at me like that. All I could do was to look down, and pray not to do something embarrassing.

The hallway was full of photographs of the principals of the school. The Mellisa family.

Starting from its founder, Aimee Mellisa, then her daughter June Mellisa, then June's niece, Mary Richard Mellisa and now finally June's daughter, Nancy Mellisa.

I wonder if they ever had a girl named Mellisa. I laughed at the thought of Mellisa Mellisa.

Well, the main corridor wasn't bad. The windows on the sides let the cool breeze in. I walked up to the lady, who I believe, was the one I was looking for.

She was around 40. Her golden brown hair danced whenever she turned her almost tanned face. On her desk, lay many papers and ribbons.

I was just hoping it will be the receptionist.

I mustered some courage and went up to her.

"Yes, my dear, how may I help you?" she asked with a smile, which I found cute.

"I'm Shreya Malhotra. " I said.

"Just a minute dear," she said and seemed to look at the papers lying on her desk.

"Ah! There you are," she said and handed me a few papers. "Bring 'em back to me at the end of the day,"

"Thanks, and yeah, I will," I said and asked "Can you tell me the way to the principal's office?"

I-I-I-I-I

After meeting Ms Nancy, I turned my heel towards my class, English, my favorite.

"Hey, hey, hey," I heard somebody call me. I stopped and looked behind.

There was a raven haired boy, around 19 or 20.

"You're Shreya? The new girl?"

"I guess I am," I smiled.

"Oh, yeah." He said. "Umm… I'm Samuel Watson. You can call me Sam,"

"Oh," I said 'Hi Sam,"

"Hi," he said as we shook hands.

"Do you know Nikki and Lara?" I asked, suddenly.

He seemed to be taken aback at my sudden outburst, but managed to reply "Yeah, they happen to be my friends, why?"

"I met them at a party yesterday," I said.

"Aha…" he said.

I nodded.

"Come on, lemme help you with your first class," he said. "What is it, by the way?"

"English, Mr. Jackson Hill," I said

"Oh, same here," said Sam. "Let's go together,"

"Okay," I said, having no other option.

I-I-I-I-I

Sam was with me throughout. Walking or I should say guarding me and following me like a puppy.

Finally, it was lunch. I was starving since morning because I was not willing to eat the burnt sandwiches of Abhijeet.

Well, the day wasn't boring at all. I met Lara and Nikki in the lunch along with another guy, Eric Houston.

"Hello, my friends!" a guy in a red shirt and casual jeans walked into the canteen.

The four of them addressed him as 'Mark'.

"How are you Markey?" asked Eric as he hugged him.

"I'm all good," he replied.

"Forgot me?" said Sam with a pout.

"No ways," said mark and hugged him. "I gotta show you guys something, follow me,"

Mark went and so did Eric and Sam.

"So, Shreya," said Lara "You liking Forks?"

"Yeah, in fact, Forks likes me," I smiled.

"Well, tell me about Abhijeet," smirked Lara "Is he dating someone?"

"I think so," I said.

"Jessica?"

"Nay, she betrayed him,"

"That's too bad,"

"Aha…" I said. "But I think, he now likes a girl Tarika Gupta,"

"Oh!" exclaimed Lara "Maybe I'll find someone like him soon,"

"I'm sure you will, "I said while Nikki giggled.

"What?" asked Lara.

"Nothing," Nikki giggled again.

"What? Why are laughing?" Lara slammed her hand on the table.

"I said nothing," and Nikki laughed again.

"Oh come on, you're telling me or not?"

"Of course not," smiled Nikki.

Admist all this, I saw a few teens walking in. Face, all pale. Lips, as red as blood.

There was something in them which caught my attention.

I turned towards Nikki and Lara who were still fighting like cats, and asked "Who are they?"

"The Shettys." Said Nikki.

"The Shettys have five children, foster children of course," said Lara. "Yeah, 'cause Mrs Shetty looks like she's just 20. And the doc looks like he's 25."

"Yeah,' said Nikki. "And, all of them are around 18. Except for one, who's 19."

"Oh," I said.

"Okay, that girl with light brown hair, that's Ishita." Lara said while pointing towards a girl with similar features, wearing a black top with knee length gray kapri.

"And she's with Dushyant," said Nikki, "The muscular guy," she said referring to the guy who was holding Ishita's hand. He had dark brown hair. He was wearing a light gray trousers and white T shirt which showed off his muscles.

"They are like a thing," said Nikki.

"Yeah," said Lara "And, they are like.. legally together, I mean, I don't know even if its legal, but still…"

"Yeah but they live together, its weird," said Nikki.

The two of them, hand in hand, sat on the corner most tables.

No sooner had they made their way, another couple made its way towards the same seat.

"That's Purvi," said Lara, pointing towards a girl wearing high heels and a white top with a denim jacket. She wore also a black kapri and had pasted make up all over her face.

"And she's with Sachin, who looks like he's in pain." She said referring to the guy in a blue denim and black top. Lara was right. He looked as if in pain coz he wore no expression on his face. And his face was pale and dull.

"Totally," laughed Lara. "Maybe, Dr Shetty will adopt me for Daya,"

'Never,' I wanted to say.

And then, he came…

Dashing as always,

Hot as usual,

Smart as if smartness is his best friend…

DAYA…

He sat with his, whom I suppose cousins, on the table. Food was kept near him, but he was just concentrating on me.

Wait! Did I say me? Of course, he was looking at me. I was also looking at him. Our eyes met and he looked back. I, too, dug into my apple.

"Is there something wrong with the Shettys?" I asked.

"Looks like," said Nikki.

"Then you should probably ask 'em," I suggested.

"Nay," said Lara. "they kinda keep to themselves."

"Oh, " I said.

I-I-I-I-I

I went home only to find a voice mail from Abhijeet.

'Hi sweetheart. How are you? Hope you're fine. Hope you're first day at school was good. Sorry, I have some urgent work. I might come late. Make yourself some dinner or order some. Money is kept near the fridge. Sorry, and good night,'

Great. And now I'm all alone. Thinking of this, I finished my homework and ordered some pizza.

Then, I took out my phone to look for any texts. I saw 3 mails from mom. I replied her saying that I was fine here.

I lay on my bed, thinking about him… Daya.

His golden brown eyes, shining like the sun and his dashing, killer smile. His pale face and his look on me.

I was frustrated. He had something unusual which was attracting me towards him. Something, which I didn't know, but wanted to.

What was it? I wondered.

But, I had already given up.

Was I in love with him?

I-I-I-I-I
