I know Harry and Anoop from my primary school. They are my best friends. Harry was little close to me when compared to Anoop. Because he could easily understand my mood and my thoughts.
Harry can predict what I am going to say in the next moment. So I felt a strange connection with him more than friendship. But please don't mistake it for any other affections.
He was like a guardian angel to me. Whenever I was broken and depressed, I used to ran to him. He won't console me for anything instead he knows certain unique ways to improve my mood.
Both Anoop and Harry were handsome and intelligent boys in our class. They were tall while my total height could reach only upto their chests.
While we are in 9th and 10th grade everyone in the class, considered as the Trio of the Class. I used to spend more time with them then with other girls and boys. Many girls envied me for having the handsome buddies around me every time.
I forgot to tell you about me. Being a companion of two handsome men, you may think myself as a beautiful queen. But I'm not a person with extraordinary beauty. I'm a mediocre girl in both beauty and academics.
You may wonder why those handsome and intelligent boys were close with me. Because I had my own way of beauty and intelligence. I am the Princess of my own world. They know me very well since we met in our third grade primary schooling.
We used to enjoy our school days by riding the bicycle to school together and spending free time in each other's home. As our parents know about us they never consider about the insecurities of being a female in our friends gang. They allowed me to enjoy my days with my besties. My parents felt secure when those boys are around me.
While we are studying in third grade, the class tutor changed my seat from last row to third row because I scored less in an exam. She made me to sit in between the two boys. At first I was angry with my staff for placing me in between them. Those boys were sincere in their studies even in those primary schooling. They made me work hard in my subjects. My marks in the exams increased along with our friendship. We became a great friends. Even the absence of one of them affected me a lot in the following days.
All moments that I shared with Anoop and Harry came across my mind once I met them after a long vacation.
"Hey.. Are you day dreaming? What's going on idiot?" Anoop screamed.
Just then I realized that I was constantly staring at Harry with my fixed eyes.
"No.. Nothing. I was just startled by your sudden entry."
"You need to be more careful idiot while walking around the corridor"
"Anoop... You are the one who is idiot as well as blind. Can't you walk slowly. What are you chasing around?"
"Anya.. You gained little courage in our absence."
While Anoop try to began usual fight between us, Harry was just standing there and looking at me. I felt that he was looking at me. So I decided to leave that place. Harry realized that so he pulled Anoop's hands and moved away.
That moment I realized that our friendship was shattered. Even though Anoop was in good relationship with both of us, at times I felt he was not that much good to me when compared to Harry. He always took Harry's side whenever we began an argument. I was little disappointed about something. It may be because of our friendship or due to Harry's actions.
They already left me and moved towards the office room. I just stand there and looked at their backs. I left the corridor only when they completely disappeared from my sight.
Even though there was three lift to reach the first floor that moment I preferred to climb the steps. So I walked towards the steps in the corner of the first floor.
Whenever I came across depressing things, my mind usually become disturbed and linger around those depressing matters. I was just walking physically but my mental conscious was revolving around Harry.
When I reached near the stairs, I found someone who is very tall wearing a branded black shirt with white stripped lines and while pant climbing the stairs before me. The black and white pair suited well for that man's backward position. He was taller than Harry and his legs were very high so he climbed the stairs easily and went away.
Even though our block had only two floors, there were three lifts. Many of the students from powerful families studied in our school so the management made all luxurious facilities for them in order to get benefits from them. Lift facilities were provided 24×7. Because of this facility, stairs were used only in emergency cases. So it was strange for me to find someone climbing the stairs.
Atlast I reached the first floor with a depressed mood. Those excitation and nervousness that I had early in the morning were disappeared with the sight of Harry.
Actually it was time for the class. When I reached my classroom number 202, the teacher is already in the class. He is the same person who handled biology for me in grade 10. I stood out of my class and waited for my teacher to permit me inside the class.
