THE PERFECTION SYNDROME

THE PERFECTION SYNDROME

THE PERFECT FIRST DAY

My whole life I have been a girl who has got everything planned, my dream college, dream job, yes and also a dream married life. I have always been the perfect daughter of my parents, a very reliable friend for Aadya and Tia, the best sister for my little brother Avi and the prettiest and the most perfect girl my boyfriend could ever get . [ He’s perfect too by the way !! ]

I had everything in control until a bizarre set of letters, and my perfect life was not perfect anymore !

It all started on the 8th of June when my school had reopened. It was the first day of my senior year at St Xaviers. I was looking forward to all that I have planned and noted down on my bucket list, going to movies with Aakash, starting a vlog with my friends, going on a whole 7 day trip with my fam and much moreee !

“Speed up hon, otherwise you will be late for your first day.” my mom screamed from downstairs while I was getting all my stuff ready for school.

“Coming mumma” I sped towards the dining area and just when I sat for breakfast, the door bell rang. “ I will get it “, said my dad and went to get the door. It was a postman on the door, my dad thanked him and offered water to him. Later, he entered the dining area and announced that the letters were for me.

“For me ?” Who’s going to write letters to me ? “

“It might be that Aakash has sent it ?’ said my mom.

“Nope mom, Aakash knows that I am not really into such conny stuff.”

“Just open it and you will get to know” proposed my dad.

I was about to open the letter and just then my phone rang. It was Tia, “Gurllll, you won’t believe, we got in the bb team !! The coach just called in to tell us about it. “

“Oh my godd ! Are you for real !! I mean I knew it but I was just hoping that Coach won’t be biased towards the ‘IT GIRLS’.”

“I told you the new coach knows her job well “

If the first day starts like this then what could have gone wrong. I was so fucking excited for my pretty perfect senior year !

I was so lost in my excitement of the call that I rushed towards the breakfast to meet Aakash and tell him about it. I thought that I would read the letter later when I am back home. I rushed towards the common hall and found Aakash with his best friend Adi. It’s not like I hated him but I just didn’t fancy him so much. The sole reason being, his attitude towards me. I mean he was nice to every other person in this college except for me for some reason. He had to contradict every point I ever said.

“Hey handsome”

“Hi beautiful”

“Oh for god’s sake can you do this lovey dovey act of yours somewhere which is so so far away from my pure eyes.” said Adi.

“Oh, where does this concept of purity get lost when you are busy watching the shitty pornograhpy between breaks.”

“Wanna pull up a fight, right in the morning, bugga boo”

That’s right, he used to call me that because there was this day when he had caught me watching miraculous lady bug with my little brother Avi when he had come home to return our massager machine his mom had borrowed [ we were neighbours 😭]. Tbh I really loved that show but Adi just made me seem so immature.

“I excuse you today cause am in a really good mood and don’t really wanna spoil it because of your stupid jokes.”

“What’s the news about. Spill it Aysha” said Aakash.

“Guess what !! Me and girls got in the bb team !!!!”

“Woah ! That’s a great news babe ! Am so happy for you”

As much as I was glad about the news I had, sharing it with Aakash made it much more nicer. Later, we finished all the classes which were not so interesting as all the teachers wanted to discard all the formalities of the first day and start with our normal classes. Me and my gang decided to go to the ice cream store and celebrate two good news - One being our selection and the other being mine and Aakash’s enrolment for the prom king and queen auditions. Although, I did not understand the fact, why Adi had enrolled in too but we still wished him luck !

After finishing my dinner, I continued reading my favourite book for the 10th time, ‘Better than the movies’.Tbh Wes Bennet was everything a girl could ask for, he was just sooo perfect !

“Oh the letter ! I remembered”

I found the letters on the study table and quickly opened it hoping for something really good to be in there. Who knew that this letter would be a start of the disruption of my perfect life.

I started reading the letter and…

“WHT THE F*** !!"
