"I think Natasha got shy because she doesn't believe that she is beautiful" said Kiki. "Is that it, Natasha?" asked Mrs. G. Natasha nodded. "You don't think that you are beautiful?" Natasha shook her head. "But you are beautiful my child. Why do you think that you aren't beautiful? Every creation in this world is beautiful. Tell me, do you think Kiki is beautiful?" Natasha nods. "Do you think trees are beautiful?" Natasha nods again. "Then why do you think you aren't beautiful? Is there a particular definition for beauty? What do you think beauty actually is?" "I am not fair skinned or pale. I don't have blond hair or round eyes" "Beauty doesn't mean you need to have fair complexion Natasha. Some times fair complexion could mean lack of melanin, skin cancer, anemia for lack of blood you know?" Natasha nodded. "You are beautiful just the way you are. Start seeing yourself as beautiful Natasha. Because you are beautiful." Mrs. G then started the class.
"You are new so you wouldn't know. I am a chemistry teacher. I teach chemistry to 10A and 12B." said Mrs. G. Then she continued the lesson.
Natasha was actually enjoying her time in class. The time she spent till now went good. No one made fun of her. Kiki said that she would be her friend. She even said that she would help her make more friends. This was the first time someone talked to her on their own accord and wanted to be friends with her. She was happy.
Natasha thought about what Mrs. G said. 'I am beautiful? But how? Yes, I am tall and have foxy eyes. But I'm not fair. I'm not slim either. I have a medium chest and hip. It should have been smaller. Most of the girls my age don't have this big chest or hips. They are all slim'.
"Hey Natasha. Are you daydreaming now?" said Kiki. Natasha shook her head and said " What happened?" "Nothing happened. The class has ended. Mrs. G left. We have a 10 min break now". "Break?" "Yeah every class is conducted for 4 mins and we get a 10 min break after the first 2 classes in the morning and the first 2 classes after lunch time". "Why do they give us a break?" "It is done so that we can chat a little or revise if there is anything important that needs to be revised". "Oh" Natasha nodded her head in understanding.
"So, tell me more about yourself. Or maybe tell me more about your previous school. How was the school? How were the teachers? Were they as good looking as Mr. Kim? OH! You haven't seen our rest of the teachers. All the teachers in our school are pretty good looking no matter how old they are and what their relationship status is. You would be unable to guess their age or personal life only by seeing them or talking to them on the surface. Anyway tell me! tell me!"
Natasha sighed. It looks like Kiki was a chatterbox. And though Natasha did not dislike it, it would take too much of her energy. And she never saw someone who can talk this much and not get tired.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Come on don't be shy and tell me, please" Kiki did some sort of cute expression which made her look like a little puppy. "You won't tell me even after I did my puppy eyes?" Natasha sighed again. "Okay, I will tell you". "Yay!" "What do you want to know?" "First tell me how the school looks like? Is it as large as ours? How many stories is the building? What type of uniform did you guys have?"
"Well, that school is obviously not as huge as this one. We had only one large building and a small front yard. Half of the front yard was a garden. No one was allowed to go to the garden, let alone touch anything there. Our uniform was almost the same as this one. There was a plain black pleated skirt, a white shirt and a black blazer. We were supposed to wear black ballet shoes at school. But the other girls would always wear some expensive shoes. I don't know, like they would talk about their shoes being a limited edition from Cha**el or LV, some would say theirs was exclusively imported from a D**R outlet from the USA."
"Damn! Those are some rich kids right there." said Kiki. "Yeah, most of the girls were from pretty rich families. It was a private school after all". "Then you must be rich too considering you went there". "No, I was a 50% scholarship student". "Ooooooooh brilliant student I see". Natasha blushed at Kikis compliment.
By this time 3/4 girl were standing beside Kiki listening to them and some other girls were glancing at them from time to time.
