MEETING ME
“Zayn and Gigi broke up! What the f-“I cut myself from swearing in public while I was in my school. New school, by the way. People around me gave me a weird looks which I don’t know whether it was for my outburst of my favorite star’s breakup or because I am new. I don’t really care even if it’s either one of them. I scrolled my mobile screen to get the details but it said that was a mutual break up and they would remain as friends.
I snorted reading those while a ringing sound drummed in my ears. I had to shut my ears with both of my hands to resist it. Only then I realized that I was under the school bell and it’s almost time for me to attend my first class.
I ran to my first class in hurry not wanting to be late. I wasn’t late but not early either. I could see most of the seats were filled. I sighed in relief that there wasn’t any professor but I could see few eyes widen in shock as they see me and look at the back of classroom.
I didn’t really care and stood in front of everyone smiling cheekily. I couldn’t really describe their reaction. Some of them were genuinely shocked, some of them saw me like I was some piece of shit while some of them were scanning me and the back of the class room.
“Ahh....As you already knew, I am new here.” I said as they all looked bored as if they knew what was coming. “So.......can I get a charger for my phone? It’s going to be dead soon.” I said pointing to the mobile in my hand.
Everyone was confused and made a face like what has gotten into me. Moreover they looked pissed at my gesture. However it was usual for everyone to give their name and details to their co-students on their first day. That’s what teachers made us to do from kindergarten. But I am too cool for those introduction. And most importantly I don’t want to.
Some of the girls on my right frowned and mumbled something between themselves which I gladly ignored. A guy not far away from the front stood up to give his charger still eyeing me carefully like he had seen an alien.
He had a dark rimmed glasses that covered his blue eyes and he wore a plaid checked shirt and a black pant. To state the fact, he looked like a guy nerd. I mumbled a thank you with a smile to which he nodded and got back to his seat. I plugged the charger to my phone and charged it at the back of my classroom since the switch board was on the back.
I finally looked around to find only one empty seat next to a blonde girl, who had her eyes on the other side window so that I couldn’t really see her face. It was the seat at the back which was what I wanted. So I didn’t hesitate to take it and sat next to her.
The class started to mumble between themselves as I stretched on my chair leaning backwards. I was starting to get bored. So I decided to talk to the girl next to me who still had her eyes on the window.
“Hi!” I said but she didn’t budge.
She was sitting still, having her arms crossed across her chest, leaving her blonde hair masking her face, leaving the world to thoughts.
I don’t really know whether she was ignoring me or thinking about something seriously. So I decided to knock on her desk.
“Hello there!” I knocked twice as she stirred up and turn towards me to meet the interruption from her thoughts.
My eyes widened in shock and I gasped to see myself in a blonde hair and a pair of specs around the same grey eyes I had. She too looked shocked as much as I did.
Is it possible for two girls to be alike?
Apart from twins?
