I was in the 6th class. I was sitting behind my Crush (I never
told him anything about it). It was math’s class. Rashmi ma'am was writing
something on the blackboard. Everyone in the class was copying it.
"Everyone done with copying? Shall I rub the board?" She asked. "Yessss maaaam" all replied. "Sure?" she again asked for the confirmation."Yessss maaaam" all again replied confirming the same.
Although I hadn't finished writing till then I didn't have the guts to say it. I wasn't very sharp in studies but was very shy. There were literally millions of things going inside my mind simultaneously making me slow like hell and I was her favorite student to torture.Staring into my eyes she said, “If anyone hasn't copied yet, stand up"
I froze in my seat. I was praying that she doesn't check my notebook. But God had something else for me that day.
"Hey you, the girl on the last bench"- she never bothered to know my name -"Show me your notebook."
I didn't utter a word. I was almost crying. My eyes were pleading to God to make her stop right there.
The guy sitting next to me handed her my notebook. It was incomplete. And seeking the attention of the little children around she scolded me for not being attentive in her classes.
Everyone was staring at me. Although I was a kid I could feel the shame on my face. Then there came the most crushing moment of my life till that time.
And I couldn't see any further because of the tears in my eyes... everything was blurry....
He (my crush, who was a topper of the class) spoke for the first time about me,
"We won't sit here from tomorrow ma'am, please change our seat"
I couldn't understand that. I felt like, I was slapped again, but only a million times harder.
I don't remember what happened next. Everything changed that day.
I scored 90% in my 10th board, securing 5th position. He was 15th!
I scored 80% in 12th, He scored 60%
I got into Engineering, and He went to some college in Commerce.
He approached me for a Friendship and I rejected !
And then He asked me why.
I replied
"Because we still can't sit together"..
