New School, New Story ✨

Not that bad I guess!

Today, I woke up early from my usual, everything suddenly changed. I got dressed in a uniform that wasn't mine about 2 weeks ago, I packed my bag with some textbooks, a novel, a notebook and a new baggage of emotions that I had not felt for a really long time now. Everything changed.

I got ready, and sat in the bus that was gonna pick me up for school, I suddenly went from lazily sleeping in the cab to being nervous for my first day of school in the bus. All the thoughts came to me, good, bad, crazy... like literally everything.

"What if I can't settle in?" "What if I receive opportunities I never had before?" "What if there's some spice that i get to see today?"..... (Told you, literally everything!)

A girl in the bus just randomly said "hey, can u please tell me something about this school? I'm new here" and I quickly went like..."what?.. oh sorryyy hii, I'm also new to the school" And yes, we spent the whole hours chit-chatting. We both were going through the jitters of first day, but felt better when we talked about it.

We were silenced by the nerdy conversation happening behind us.. "Bro Allen's module is the best." Me and Kamakshi, the girl, both looked at each other and felt as if we were the only nincompoops in the school.

We entered a new building, with a new hope, new story and 2 new challenges, a new school and the science stream, all at once. We entered and suddenly someone shouted, "STAND HERE! THE PRAYER'S GOING ONN." Since we had no choice, we stood there with our hands joined and minds filled with weird stuff. We moved with the crowd and finally reached the classrooms. Her being a non-medical student, moved into the A section, while me, a PCB student, moved in the B section.

I sat in the classroom and after the attendance, I was zoned out in some thoughts about how the teachers were going to be. After a minute or so, I heard a voice, "Hii, if you need any help, just tell me and I'll help you with it." Tvisha, someone who was not really in the class the whole time, but the ice breaker meant a lot! After about 15 minutes, it was 3 girls and me, just yapping about how boring this first period was getting.

I was given the spotlight in the library by these girls so that i could properly introduce myself. The were amazed by all the stuff I am doing and then on, they didn't leave me alone even for a second, we loitered in the corridors during the lunch break, gossiped about all the stuff that happens among the students at Ahlcon.

Psychology was me waiting to discover what exactly goes on in our psychotic teen minds.

Biology? A straight-up mess. First chapter’s chaos.

English? We were busy watching kids getting scolded for being late.

Physics? Mostly about exploring the syllabus.

Chemistry though? That was the class that made me feel like—yes, I could enjoy the next two years here.

The teacher told us about a "Reel Making" Interschool competition on the topic "No Plastic". I really don't know what clicked, but I just asked one of the girls, Angel, if she would wanna partner up for it. She said yes, and my mind paced faster than ever, we drafted up a rough idea and pitched it to the in-charge. She was impressed and gave our names to the Head teacher. I SIGNED UP FOR AN INTER-SCHOOL COMPETITION ON MY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! Honestly, I was so happy. Still am.

The time was over and we all ran towards our buses.  I even met two people from my old school. And slowly, just slowly, it started feeling like a place I could actually survive—maybe even enjoy—for the next two chaotic, crazy years.

I came home, finished my homework, and here I am, yapping about it online. Today was far better than I ever expected. Here’s me hoping the good days keep coming.

PLEASE AHLCON, GIVE ME GOOD TIMES! (hehehe, byeeeeee)
