"Congratulations to both of you. You have worked hard and it is the consequence of your hard work." the person sitting in front of them said with a bright smile on his face.
A while ago the room was filled with silence and
nervousness. Three people are present in the room. But only two people were awkwardly silent and the principal was staring at them all this time as if he was going to rebuke them.
Some time ago, the principal of the school called them to congratulate, because they have got scholarships to study abroad. But they looked very nervous. That's why he was silent to check them out.
"Do you guys have anything to say? Say something already." the principal said excitedly.
Nikki didn't expect that to happen, she was surprised.
'How in the world did I pass the exam?' She thought surprisedly. She looked surprised, since she thought she wouldn't pass the test.
"Thank you so much, sir! I never expected that to happen, but I am glad. I will do my best to make you proud, sir!" said the girl next to Nikki while smiling.
Nikki didn't observe her well, although they entered the principal's room together. In other words, she was very nervous even looking at the principal. In this case, how could she notice anything.
... ...
Afterwards, they came out of the principal's room, Nikki somehow managed to thank the principal. She sighed more than once after leaving the principal's room. she seemed calmer than before.
Nikki turned to go back to her class. Nikki stopped abruptly...The girl who was called along with her blocked the way.
she glared at Nikki as if she was going to eat her. Looking into her eyes Nikki was frightened.
"Where are you going without saying anything?" she asked bitterly. She stared at Nikki with an angry look on her face.
"Ummm, but. What should I say? --- Did I do something wrong?" Nikki said with a startled expression.
she looked concerned, after hearing that from her. Her mood changed.
"Ahhh - I didn't expect that from you, Nikita. I thought you recognized me. But seriously, I am kinda hurt." she said pleadingly.
Nikki seemed surprised to hear her full name.
Usually, everyone in the school calls her by her short name, most of them don't even know her full name. How can someone know her name, she doesn't even know that person. Moreover, she said she didn't expect Nikki to not recognizing her.
'Is she someone I should know? Who could she be?' she thought anxiously. She forced herself to recall if she had seen her before, but she couldn't.
