Granny left the table as soon as she heard me questioning about my past. Looking at her i felt may be granny is struck by the lightening bolt.

' well you are still little to know. When you grew older I'll tell you ' she replied.

' you said it for past two years. I'm ten year old now so tell me' I pleaded.

with fury she replied ' I picked you from the garbage bin near the lodge when you are a child. are you satisfied now?'

I knew from the beginning even if she say she adopted me, I was an abandoned child. But hearing it in this form it did hurt.so I ran away from there. She did not tried to stop me.

I stood before the mirror staring at my own reflection as the word echoed " abandoned child". I sighed heavily ," there it goes. look at you now acting all grown up. You are just a child. granny was right. ' I shouted.

" it doesn't matter to me who's child you are so it shouldn't matter to you also. I gave you the name Rebecca Julius. It hold a lot of affection' granny was saying these to me.

' why granny it's special?'

' it's the name of my daughter who was brutally murder the day I found you. The way your eyes glittered it reminded me of her. She was detective who fought for the justice of others and didn't got hers ' the tears rolled down her cheeks.

' I'm sorry granny, I made you cry. ' I regretted saying the earlier words.

' Even if I say don't care about your past , I know it's not simple. So I'll just suggest that when you are you , when you spread you name across by your own capability will you unwind the past '

' today I pledge granny, until it's me I'll never think of my past. I'll make the present stronger.

' well enough with this and all just go out and play and come early, don't waste my time ' patting by back granny draged me out of my room .

I didn't think much then and just followed the pace. But when I think now back those days were my peaceful one. Those are the memories I liked to enjoy again and again. The warmth of a person who is dear to you gives a sense of security.

Well that time I had one and only nest friend with whom I share my feeling and who understood me better. Her name was Rosalia. But all called her Rose. she was the prettiest person i had seen after me though. She was the loud mouth who can't keep a single word inside her stomach. In her are she was famous as LS..miss loud speaker.

' Rebecca! hii there long time no see ' rose talked like thunder.

' well didn't you just saw me nearly 6 hours ago' I questioned.

' yeah...you are right. how silly of me ' she laughed .

' thanks rose for everything'

' now what was that for?'

Rose was the first true friend I had. She never cared what so about my past, about who I am. She even fought against the boys who teased me. She was like an older sister to me.

' for being my true friend '

An unspoken gratitude spread across us bringing a warmth feeling...She carved the present me...

Rosalia had a family of four. She had mother father and a twin brother Ronald. They were a happy family until the tragedy occured. Mr. Simon ,Rose's father was prosecutor who was killed along with her mother for some revenge . Later on both of them suffered severe trauma of the incident . For their further care they are sent to her aunt house where they were emotionally targeted . She was the brave girl so she placed the complainant in police station stating of abuse on her and her brother. So they are relocated to my neighborhood .But two years ago she lost her brother in a hit and run case which still remains as mistry.

Few days later my grandmother took the custody and now here it is. She lives with us.

She is good in martial arts and sports. one incident I never forgotten was how she caught the thief.

' Rose let's go to school , hurry up' I shouted.

' here I am , we are already so late. Let's run ' she held my hand and draged me along the. way.

There was loud commotion on the way that caught our eyes. So we with sheer curiosity poke our nose into the blender. It was the thief who pushed old lady to the grounds and was wounded .The thief was in sprint who was laughing on the way. Nobody dared to catch him. Just that moment I remembered I have a crazy girl beside me. And the result she went on chase.

I knew the whole area and I took another root that cuts between the path of the chase. Before it o called the interpol and ran. But the thoughts came into my mind. ' why am I chasing the thief. It's police job. Well no I'm a citizen of the dignified country. I need to with held the justice. ah....it's so tiring.' and I came directly in front of the their colliding heavily we both fell.

' ah...my head. Mr. can't you see while running' I tried to stall time.

' get lost child and why are you holding my legs ' he said trying to break.

My holdings are like that of monkey. Once caught then it's my decision to let go or else stuck with me.

' well,well...what a suprise. I did hold ' and started smiling.

with fury Rosa made a air kick and the thief fell on the ground.

' you thief give me the things you have stolen or else..' she looked in his eyes.

' hahahah...you are just a puny punk and dare to stop me. '

Rose and I hated a common word calling us ' puny punk '.

' What...you..' and Rosa's fury exploded. She held the hair of the thief and started swinging.

'. stop stop please..' the thiefs pleading heard mile across the the street people were smiling at us saying what a girl..

A while later police came searching and we waved our hands.

' hello there are you guys called us?'

' yes ..'

' so where is he ?'

' here ' we showed.

The police stated laughing. Because we sat on the thief and due to the hair pull he lost his hair in the hands of rose...

I and Rosa go to Central school . It's very popular school in around the area and many rich people join their kids here. Now you might be thinking how did we end up here. Well we are both practically intelligent and so we got the scholarship. So our study here is free of cost. The environment it had was excellent. The teachers cared less about the cast and all so it's pretty equal here. But the kids of rich family are not that satisfied. It's known that if you have money you can have any thing and that what drives these kids to acts like greatest one..

The school didn't care much about the matter among the students as they have to learn one other the other way to survive so why not start from here. That's not the new lesson to me. From the day one I knew. if I want to survive I need to be powerful. The strong rules the weak that my granny always says. But that not always true. When the ant from group it can defeat the mighty elephant.

Rosa also knew the same fact.

If I say about our popularity it's pretty zero. We are the poor student I. terms of money and rest are all above us. Many a times they treated us like shit but not now. I remember that day....

' hay hay! see who it is... isn't she that poor..' the girl of royal family, Catherine said.

' ohh...yaaa ' everyone on her side retorted.

We knew one day we need to face them but not in their way but our own way.

' Hey Rose did you here there are mosquitoes in our classroom. So tomorrow let's bring the mosquito repellent. or else the deasease may spread ' I saw her face.

' yaa that's true.. Rebecca ' Rose winked.

Hearing it Catherine felt insulted and threw her fist towards me. I was not lagging behind. From the age of 3 my granny taught me gymnastic and many martial arts so that I don't end up like her daughter. Today that came handy.

I slipped through her fist and stood behind her. But that left her imbalanced and she fell face down.

' ooooo' everyone began to laugh.

Then what happened was the typical seen she started crying.

The same time I saw our home room teacher coming her ways and I understood what her plans are.

so I went near her and apologised. But she laughed and I still hate that ugly face of her.

Now we needed a new plan so I held her hands and slapped hard on my face. she hand her nails grown so beautifully that scratched my face and it started bleeding.

now I started to cry loudly.....

everyone was starstruck.

Home room teacher entered and asked us ' what's this all about ?'

none replied.

She came to me seeing me held my head down.

' lift up your head Rebecca..what happened'

I didn't lift So she forcefully lifted.

' wow dear...who did this to you?' in angry she asked.

' It's Catherine mam ' Rose replied.

Our miss homeroom teacher told Rose to take me to nurse office.

Later I heard she was heavily scolded for her misbehaviour and was given punishment for growing nails.

Well did felt a little bad about her though but then thought serves her right.

That made me to think to start a new club. I told about this to Rose and she had the same plan. We wanted to bring total equality I. school so we begin searching for issues.and the name we came up was S.I.A ...the student investigation association. And unexpectedly all the poor fellows joined...
