EP -1

" Get up Bella . It's past 8 . You will miss your 9 a.m. class " -- An angry voice comes from the hall.

" Uff mom ! Let me sleep . "

" GET UP AND COME TO THE BREAKFAST TABLE WITHIN A MINUTE OR.......... "

"Okay , mom " -- I lazily get up .

--------- So , I am Bella . And what you saw just now was my mom waking me up . It happens everyday. Let me tell you about myself. I am an attractive average looking girl. I am the eldest daughter of my parents who are teachers .I have a younger sister .I am in second year of college and she is in class 9. I am not so good in studies but I like to read and write. I am shy and introverted. I can't communicate with people much .That's why I have no friends and I live in my own world. Yes, I am living a boring life. Every day repeats itself.

(Half an hour later at the college gate)

Let's go Bella .Spend another boring day here.

(Someone pushes me )

"What are you pushing me for ?-----"Yeah, I can only shout in my mind.

(Not far, a girl is being centered by quite a number of students)

Oh! It's her. She is Lisa .She is in my year but total opposite of me . She can sing , dance and paint . And she is even good at studies . She is super pretty and comes from a reputed family. And she is very much active in social media. So, she is the most popular girl in the whole college. Many people are harbouring a crush on her . I have heard some people say that she is a sweet girl ,helps others and talks nicely. But how do I know? I never talked to her. I just know that my remaining confidence leaves me whenever I see her. What's now! Let's go to the class.

(I turn around and bump into someone)

"Ah" (I fall on the ground)

Have I bumped into a tree or what ?

(I look up and see HIM)

Oh no! Whose face have I seen this morning. Why are all bad things happening to me now? Oh! my own face, that's why. Is he going to kill me ? But...... he stares at me strangely and walks away. Thank God!

You must be thinking who is HE I am so afraid of .He is Mark. He is a rogue. He beats people unreasonably. He has been suspended many times. But the college cannot rusticate him because his rich father is the main donor of this college.But he doesn't have a gang. He is the lion, hunts alone. Not only me, everyone, even the seniors, are afraid of him. Aaaaand he is in my year .

(At 10:00 a.m. inside the classroom )

We had a class at 9 but the teacher didn't come . Shouldn't they inform us beforehand in the college group? I would have slept some more.

(A handsome boy with glasses enters our classroom)

Oh! The teachers' favourite boy has now himself become the teacher or what ? It's John, the smartest boy in the college. He is a brilliant student and very handsome .But don't go on his looks. He is too proud and arrogant. Why does he have to be like this cold towards people? Then why not? All the teachers like him, he should be proud. And, of course, he is also in my year. My year has unique versatility of students. But .......what is he doing here?

John :- "Mr Carter is absent today .So I, myself, have to come. Though it's not my work, I take it as my duty . You should be grateful for that. So this year's annual college trip is scheduled on 27th this month . You have to submit Rs 1000 to me within 10 days .Who does not want to go, has to submit an application to the principal. And yes, we are going to Aurora wildlife sanctuary and Vencoast forest ."

(He walks out of the classroom).

I don't want to go but my mom won't listen. So I have to go like last year. That time I followed the teachers and sat alone the remaining day . This year will be the same.
