The Sudden Transfer
THE SUDDEN TRANSFER
“What?” I asked not able to believe my ears. “Yes, you heard me..You are changing to Bhashyam school” said my dad glaring at me in frustration…It is evident that he is frustrated and he will regret it later. I was sleeping peacefully when my dad woke me up to tell this news. Mind you..he wasnt really kind..🤧
“But why?? All of a sudden?” I asked confused.
(The day before…)
It was a family reunion… dad side..we dont meet very often so..I was so happy with my cousins..Our family is loved a bit more..coz my brother Blaze is the only male in our family in this gen..duh..
“Hey Rosie..so..what school do you study in again?” Sonu, my younger cousin asked me.
“Uh..Geetham school” I answered sheepishly
“Never heard of it” she said
“Well..it is a school under a roofshed..no one really knows about it..But it has A/Cs “ I said shrugging
(My dad admitted me to this school coz this school belongs to his Chitfunds manager..It is damp and shady but unlike schools of this gen..we were given complete freedom here..everyone are just so friendly and we can sit under the trees to study whenever we want to..)
“Eww..” she replied clearly taking in the roofshed. “What about academics there?” she asked.
“We are a class of 7 students so there is no competitive spirit..so I easily get class 1st rank there” I replied.
(My cousins started making a big scene out of it emphasizing the need for competition to further improve my studies. This must’ve made my dad frustrated and eventually led him to take this decision🫡)
Present day..
My dad glared at me silently and said “Get ready before 9..I am taking you to write the entrance exam..”
What ? There is an entrance exam for Grade 9th too?? Whatever…
What if I get humiliated if I got less score..?
I didnt prepare for this exam!!
As my dad is frustrated..I simply nodded and got ready without any arguement..
In the shower..
Am I really ready for this? Yeah I didnt like Geetham because of its principal..but the best moments of my life happened there..our trio (Nick..Hanya and me) we were popularly called the golden trio of our school…
Just day before yesterday i.e 31st july 2021..we exchanged friendship bands and laughed happily..
Ok..our trio isnt going anywhere!! Focus on the good Rosie..You are going to make new friends..let’s see what is waiting in store for us..Fighting!!
(Reassuring myself I walked out of the shower and got dressed quickly..)
(Bhashyam is just walking distance from home.. it just takes a 5 min walk)
(Dad walked into the Principal’s room,in the cellar a lot of students were taking an exam)
(The principal mam seemed quiet impressed by me.. yeah that’s me!! I never put efforts but I think there is some kind of charm which attracts people towards me.. I just express myself clear and confident..I smile while talking with others to make them feel comfortable..thats just me ..Rosie)
(As I was admitted a month late in the academic year..i studied a month in Geetham so..the principal gave me no entrance exam..instead she gave admission right away..see? Rosie charm😇🤷🏻♀️)
(I was assigned to a teacher..he was taking me to my classroom in an elevator)
“What is your name kiddo?” He asked..smiling slightly.
His smile is immediately marked in my mind..its a kind of shy smile..that sir looked like a baby to me..
Controlling my laugh “Rosie sir.” I answered smiling back.
“I’m Madhu..I’m going to be your maths teacher”he replied opening the elevator door for me to walk out. Uh..I hate maths..numbers make no sense in my head!!
It was 3rd floor..I followed him to theclassroom on the far corner to the left.He led me inside a classroom filled with a lot of students.
“New student” he told the teacher and gestured me to sit on the first bench and walked away after giving me a goodluck smile.
I didnt even look at the classroom instead I didnt give eye contact to anyone and sat silently on the first bench wearing my mask…The class became silent..The sir teaching Social studies continued his lecture..
I felt everybody’s eyes on me..See? Rosie charm..I gain unwanted attention wherever I go..
The bell rang..it is break time..yeah..I came late right..
Now is the time when everyone talks to me ..how am i supposed to remember some 30 or 40 names? I’m excited to make new friends…
Cheers to new adventures..
(I was too nervous and excited to care about the light brown eyes..following my every move since I entered the classroom)
