The alarm clock started buzzing near my ears and I woke up peeved by it. We had shifted to this new town only two days ago and I haven't rested since then. The last two days have been a lot exhausting,moving all your stuffs 1000 miles away isn't an effortless job after all. And now when it's just 7 in the morning I could not worry less to think about my new school. My mum always wanted me to have a perfect teenage life and that's why she brought me here to California just a month after my dad died. Life in Texas wasn't a perfect one but somewhere I had become used to it. The students in my last school weren't much supportive and I had gone through a lot of bullying but I never told my parents about it as it would have been a matter of worry to them. My dad was a good person only bad thing he did was smoking. He smoked a lot that it became the reason for his death. Yes, he died because of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD). He was a good person and saw good in everything but that did not had any control over fate.After his sad demise we shifted to the outskirts of Los Angeles to be more accurate, and I don't know how but my mom knew about my suffering from bullying in the last school so this time she wanted me to have a proper life and make friends with everyone. I have always been a shy child and my academics spoke more than me but that was the reason why the other students can't tolerate the sight of me. They used to call me teachers' puppet and what not. My mom was trying to be strong and courageous after dad's demise but even I know how broke she was from inside. I pity her and the only thing I want now is the reason why we shifted 1000s of mile away from our hometown, to be fruitful.
I turned off the alarm and gazed at ceiling,the fan was rotating slowly,the sun rays coming from the window directly hitting the left corner of the room. Then there was a knock on my door and I quickly got up from the bed,sensing what is going to happen next,
"Iya...."
She shouted from the door, finding me still on my pjs.
"How could you not be ready? It's your first day of school. Aren't you excited about it?"
She shouted.
"I am mom. But I was too exhausted to wake up earlier than this."
I admitted. Yes, I was a bit excited to know if my luck changes or remains the same after changing everything, my town, my old school,my home but more than that I was nervous. What if everything turns out to be opposite of what mum planned for me?
"Go, quickly shower and I'll get your clothes ready for school."
She said with a smile and I headed towards bathroom.
It took me 15 minutes of hot shower to remove all the exhaustion,stress and worries out of me. I got out of the bathroom and my mom already kept a pair of blue jeans and a plain white hoodie,ready on the bed. I quickly put them on and blow dried my hair. I applied some lip gloss on my lips and after collecting my books from the shelf and putting them on the bag I left the room. I could not find my spectacles anywhere. I assume I must have kept them in one of the boxes that were still packed.
"Best of luck,honey."
My mom said as soon as she saw me and kissed my forehead. She is a very affectionate lady and her. sweet nature is what everyone loves in her. I don't express my feelings much because I am not the kind of person to show my sentiments openly to everyone.But when it's about my mom, I try to be as much affectionate as I could.
"Thank you mom."
I smiled and hugged her. She hugged back and reminded me I was running late for school. I quickly left for the school in our Hyundai Grand i10 which my mo purchased for me on EMI. She is taking care of even the tiniest bit to make my life better. I love her.
I entered my school's name on the map and it started directing me towards it. It took me half an hour to reach there. I was driving slow to grasp the look of my new hometown. It's enthralling.
I unfastened my seatbelt and was about to get out of the car, when something crashed with my new car. I turned to see an other car that hit me and I was more than pissed to see that. Can't the person see, it's the school area how could someone rash drive here? I quickly got out of my car and went to talk to the person in fury.
"Are you blind? Can't you see I was parking the car there?"
I shouted at the black window of the car and obviously the person wasn't visible through it.
Slowly the window slid down unveiling a boy of my age, dressed up like a jerk with all the blacks. Was he coming from some mourning or what? But no one wears those kind of clothes to mourning either.
"Are you deaf and blind altogether? "
I asked when he didn't respond.
"No, I am perfectly fine. But I don't intend to respond to you."
What a shameless, manner less bastard he is. How could he be so mean to me after crashing into my car.
"I purchased this car yesterday only so you have to pay for it's repairing now."
I told him and he gave a look that he wasn't bothered about the incident at all.
He quietly got up from his seat grabbing his coffee in one hand and without saying a word left, leaving me pissed at his uncivilised behavior. There was nothing I could do but I wanted my revenge as I was not gonna tolerate this kind of behavior anymore. I grabbed a big stones kept near the trees and hit it hard on the glass of his car,creating a loud thud. I am damn sure everyone noticed. But I did not wanted to catch everyone's attention,only his as I wanted my compensation. He turned back as soon as he heard the noise and I could tell he wasn't happy to see it, which was what I wanted.
"You.... Little piece of shit...you.. What have you done.
I can tell he was furious but so was I.
"I asked you to compensate politely but you didn't."
I told him with a smirk on my face,trying to piss him further.
"You gonna pay for this."
He said while moving towards me but was stopped when he found the director of school coming at our direction. And I knew it wasn't gonna end well. God!why this has to be me everytime?
