    I'm currently in second year of my high school. I had changed my school after completing 10th and took admission in a government school. Long story short, I have never been a regular school student since I changed my school and used to go only during my exams. Nearly, two to three months ago, literally after a half decade, I saw my friend. She wasn't only a friend; we have spent quite quality time together and were very attached to each other. She changed her school due to some financial or private reasons.

    NEW SCHOOL SCENE

    At the parking, she somehow saw me and questioned, "You’re Anu na?"

    Except eyes, her entire face was, covered with a stole. As soon as our eyes met, it didn’t take me even a sec to realize, it was her.

    I can control any emotion except crying,

    I replied, "No, you're mistaken."

    And so on. She went back saying sorry.

    My third encounter with her was like I and my fellow classmates were sitting on matrices for our English exam as there was not any other room having benches, available, I guess. It was full of chaos; teachers and some monitors were making children to sit quietly.

    In my case, I just found a right place for me to sit and started drawing margins on my sheet. I don't know why but somehow, out of nowhere as a social anxious person, I turned my face up and there was she coming over here, she was supposed to sit in the same room. I didn't look at any other girl, she was the only one I saw in that crowd. I was sitting on matrices with no bed, I held or basically touched her leg as she passed by looking at me.

    Then, my target was to know her section, I immediately asked the girl behind her, your section, I thought she must be in her class, she replied, "E". I had got something I was looking for; I was happy but incomplete. I checked her class after exam and was full of students and a teacher was teaching there too. I didn't want to get any attention neither wanted to spoil their time to study. I went back to my class and soon home.

    Today, after last exam, I was coming out of my class and there was she, coming at the same instant. My first glance, out of the room, was she, her eyes showed expressions like she was looking for someone awaited, it expressed joy. I had no words, what I felt was like a person confined in a glass jar full of thoughts. Went ahead, still I had no words, I knew, I was the culprit. She asked why I changed my school and about other friends too. I questioned her why she didn't stay on her decision the day we met for the first time that I was the freaking one she was looking' for. She replied, "What did I say, you insulted me, I have not forgotten any of you, I remember everything. You know how hard I missed you all?". I replied, " We missed you too, honey, I thought, I would give you a surprise." She replied, "yea, I know :/." I was silent most of the time listening her. Then a friend of her came and asked her that did she find her?

    Actually, she was looking for a teacher. Collecting courage, I told her, "I thought you were looking for me." (Honey, ik I’m a b****) I didn't clearly hear what she said but I guess it was like "yea, you too."

    We have completed our 12th now, and I've lost a Gem, AGAIN. I was so dumb that it took me more than a year to realize that she was in the same school. Don’t know what destiny holds but, I hope, we hit at each other again and I won’t let her down this time.
