Chapter 2 - The First meet

The next day:

Slowly opening my eyes. "Ugh, what a hassle to wake up," I said sluggishly

After he freshened up, he went down the stairs.

"Good morning aunt"

"Good morning Karthik "she responds

As I head to the table to eat breakfast .

After he finished eating his breakfast ,he headed out to school.

Standing in front of the school: "Another boring day of my life."

RRRRRRRingRingRingRing….

Click.

The good feeling of finally waking up on time but tired due to insufficient sleep ,but still trying to listen to the class with half open eyes and a non existent consciousness.

The mornings are when everyone should be energetic and focused they say but the generation of proper sleep and rest has left us a long time ago. The masses/majority of folks nowadays lack rest because of growth in technology.

Even though we are supposed to be wide awake in the morning, most are after sleeping through the first two classes.

This is the routine of me and my friends for as long as i have known .its a stupid arrangement of facts that made it our excuse.

I occasionally talk to some other background characters just like me, to have it safe when we get our end of the year group project.

This is Dev Sengupta, a background character just like me and Rohan Patel who know the popular people a bit but still hangs out with us.

Dev Sengupta asked, "Hey Karthik, have you seen the new animated movie The Soap Monster?"

"No, but what the heck ,'soup monster' ,"

"Yeah, apparently it's a blockbuster, well class is about to start .sleep time "dev said

"Ya really tied after binging hunter of karma, I might have to sleep for 3 or 4 classes, oh damn sir came "

Sir: Now let's start the class...…..

Lunch break

Dev: "Damn man, you were really gone—asleep for like 4 classes. "

"Well i was really tired, oh yea where is rohan. i didn't notice in the morning ,i was to sleepy "

Dev: "I don't know many are sick or slept too late. damn its Indira, she is so pretty. "

"Yaya"

That's is Indira ,she is really popular. She looks like a model ,so many people proposed to her but she rejected everyone. Maybe she has a boyfriend or something ,and who really cares.

I wonder if she remembers yesterday, that was the first time she was angry.in class she is always smiling, very patient and never gets angry. That is what i heard .

Just before Lunch break :

Teacher: There is a announcement about the end of term assignment ,this year the board has decided to make it a group assignment. Its a 2 person group, the names of the teams will be posted on the clipboard in the hall

In second break

Dev: lets go and see the our groups for the assignment

indira searching for her name "indira indira indhira "

The students moving their chairs to their partners for the project discussion

Indira walking out of a convenient store drinking packet orange juice and slowly walking towards her home kicking rocks and dust
