Hey there!!!
I am back wit story. This time it's about how I became friends with a person, who used to be the most hated person. For this story I am taking her name as Sudha, which is quite similar to her original name.
She joined our class one year after me. But he time she joined us in class 5, I was the monitor and a popular little girl of school. My best friend was even popular than me. Everyone in the class obeyed me and we're friends with me. I tried my best to help everyone out in every condition. I fifth class, I didn't notice much about Sudha, as she joined some other girls in the class, who were my friends too. I don't have any memory of her from fifth class. She was quiet and didn't talk much about anything to anyone. Most of the people joined us that year, so I didn't pay any attention on any of them.
In class sixth she showed very good results in studies but still I didn't focus much on her. In class seventh, the main story began. Actually, a lot of stories. She was suffering from chicken pox and she couldn't come to school to check her marks. Our class teacher gave her answer sheet and my answer sheet to me. She asked me to recheck the marks. Both of us got 40 out of 40. When I saw her copy, I realised that she hadn't completed the story section, her literature answers were wrong and the grammar section was messed up. I didn't mind, I knew that she was suffering from chicken pox and it's not easy to handle that disease. Deep inside I was feeling pity for her. But that class teacher asked me like an announcement in the class that whose copy was better mine or her. I wanted to say mine but I thought a bit and said her. My class teacher taunted me saying that she did very well even in the condition of disease and still her copy is better. She rolled her eyes and went away. To be truthful, I wanted to slap either myself or that teacher at that moment but I couldn't do any of that. Whole class was pin drop silence looking at me with rain outside the window and a single bulb glowing on the roof above the teacher. When Sudha came back after getting well. Her friends must have told her about whole incidence and I don't remember her reaction. In the same class my really really close friend with Sudha and her friends cheated in exams and denied to accept the fact. Few days ago I fought for the same friend and now she lies to me that she didn't cheat. And the biggest thing that happened in that class was in the month of September or something. I was back from the regionals of social science exhibition. When I came back to school next day, people were congratulating and asking me things. That day in first period our class teacher asked monitor to stand up. Sudha and I stood up. I looked up at Sudha and was wondering what's the matter. No one dared to open their mouth. The class ignored me like last piece of bread. I looked at teacher eagerly. She said that she forgot to tell me that I was removed from the post of monitor when I was out for competition. The reason behind it was that I used to participate in a lot of events held from our school's region and I had to go out for these. So, when I was out she removed me. She said that you can be the second monitor and I was like I don't want to be one. I was shocked at first, but happy afterwards. I was happy by the fact that even out teacher didn't dare to remove me infront of me, well! She didn't have a valid reason. In eighth class something big happened. Our class teacher was deciding seatmates and for her personal entertainment she made Sudha my seatmate. Her voice pierced a third hole in my ears. All day long she used to look for a moment to fight, at least I thought so. She was in my house group too. Most of the times I had to find some people quickly for the house duty and she was the only one who was left. We had fought a lot in 8 class.
When we reached 9 class. Corona hit everyone hard. When I met her in school, she was a new version of herself. Or I guess I was changed. We both had almost same interests and same talks. I tried to include her in my friend circle and she did the same. Now, she enjoys being with all of us. Not to mention my best friend, she cried once when I was just talking to Sudha. I told my best friend that I am not married to you, you're my best friend and you shouldn't be so posessive. Actually, that's the reason I didn't have a best friend forever for years. And now when have one, I regret a lot. Sudha, if you ever find this post, just read and find how bad you were earlier. By the way that salty teacher is my favourite teacher now
