Jay-Jay's: Pov:
Kyunki Main class mein let enroll hui thi, Sir ne Mujhe un lessons ki copies de di jo maine mis kiye the. Thank god ab tak jo lectures hue hain woh zyada advance nahin hain.
Sir Alvin Hamare English teacher hai aur Section E ke advisor bhi. Is class mein mera start Kafi rough tha, lekin abhi ke liye sab thoda shant ho gaya hai.
Tik Tok Toink
Main focus karne ki koshish kar rahi hoon! Kya mujhe ek pal ki shanti nahin mil sakti? Kya yahan koi bhoot hai?
Mujhe meri seat per chhote-chhote gol kiye hue paper ke tukde lag rahe the. Jab Main piche ya idhar-udhar mud ke dekhti hoon ki yeh kahan se aa rahe hain, Puri class Masoom Ban Jaati Hai.
Tumhari problem kya hai?! Maine Tumhara Kya Bigada hai?!
Hum next subject per badh gaye, lekin vahi cheez baar-baar hoti Rahi. Ab mere aas-pass paper ke tukde bikhre Hue the.
Shant raho, Jay. Woh sab Tumse mazak karne ki koshish kar rahe hain!
Maine fir se lecture per dhyan dene Ki Koshish ki. Sir Alvin Ki Tarah next teacher ne Bhi Mujhe previous lesson ki copy de di.
Main likhane mein busy thi jab achanak mujhe mehsoos hua ki kuchh mere balon per laga. Maine Hath Lagaya aur turant mehsoos hua..... Geela?
Unhoone mujh per geele paper ka tukra fenka tha. Mujhe poochhne ki zarurat Nahin thi ki pani kahan se aaya. Sabse aasan aur fast water source kisi ke liye uska muh hi hota hai, aur woh thoda chipchipa abhi tha.
Chi! Ewwww!
Maine jaldi se apne bag se tissues aur alcohol nikale. Humesha prepared --- bilkul girl scout style!!
Agli kuch classes nikal gayi, lekin wahi cheez baar-baar hoti rahi. Ugh!!
Jaise hi teacher bahar gaye, main khadi ho gayi aur poori class ka samna kiya. Maine unhe teez nazar se dekha.
"KAUN HAI JO MUJH PAR CHEEZEIN PHENK RAHA HAI?! " Meine gusse mein chillaya.
Kisine jawab nhi diya, toh main dobara bolne wali thi ki achanak sab ne apna hath utha liya. Har ek ke haath me mude hue paper ke gole the --- paper balls, jo itne mude hue the ki lagbhag sab ke size same ho chuke the.
Sab mere upar phenkane ke liye ready the. Main toh gayi kaam se!!
Maine Keifer ko smirk karte hue dekha. Woh khada hua aur aise position li jaise baseball game mein pitch karne wala ho.
Uski stand dekh kar meri aankhen phat gayi. Maine Khud Ko kis musibat mein dal diya, Jay-Jay?
Maine ghoont bhara aur aankhen band kar li Jab maine use paper ball ko meri taraf phenkate hue dekha. Jaise hi woh mere chehre per laga, aur paper balls ke ek ke bad ek meri taraf aane lage.
"Aarrrgghhhh....! " Main cheekh padi.
Dard to nahi hi rha tha, lekin main wapas kuch kar nahi pa rahi thi ya hil bhi nahi pa rahi thi kyunki bahut zyada the. Phenkne ke saath-saath hansi ki aawaz bhi aa rahi thi.
"Chalte raho... Hahaha! "
"Humare pass aur bhi bahut hain..."
"Hahaha...."
Mujhe pata hai woh sirf lagbhag 15 hi the, lekin aisa lag raha tha jaise 100 se zyada log mujh per phenk rahe hon.
"Aarrrgghhhh..... Tumhari problem kya hai?!" Maine un per chillaya, lekin obviously un per koi asar nhi hua.
Mere pass koi aur choice nhi thi, Maine apna bag uthaya aur jaldi se room se bahar bhaag gayi.
Woh mujh per tab tak paper balls phenkte rahte jab tak main door se bahar nahi nikal gayi, lekin jaise hi main poori tarah bahar aayi, woh sab ruk gaye.
Main tab tak nahi ruki jab tak main building se kaafi dur nahi pahunch gayi.
Woh mere sath itne harsh kyu the! Shayad mujhe pahle Kerifer ko jawab nahi dena chahiye tha.
Lunch time ho gaya tha, toh maine seedha cafeteria jaakar khane ka decide kiya. Main andar gayi aur line me khadi ho gayi.
Main line mein khadi idhar-udhar dekh hi rahi thi ki mujhe ek pehchani se aawaz sunai di.
"Woh bahut funny tha. Hahaha...." Yeh Rakki aur uski classmates thi.
Maine turant unki taraf se muh pher liya.
Yeh line itni lambi kyun hai?!
"Hey Rakki...." Maine kisi ko use bulate hue suna. Main jasoosi karne wali nhi hoon, lekin main khud ko sunne se rok nahi paayi.
"Kya chal raha hai, Mykal?" Rakki ne greet kiya.
"Maine suna tum transfer student se mili thi.. Tumhe kya lagta hai?"
Kya woh mere bare me baar kar rahe hain?
"Umm... Woh pretty hai aur thodi noob bhi."
Mujhe khush hona chahiye? Unhone mujhe compliment diya aur insult bhi kiya. Iska kya matlab hai?
Yeh line itni dheere kyun badh rahi hai?
"Hahaha.... Tumhara matlab kya hai?"
"Woh Section E ke room ke instead hamare section mein chali gayi thi."
Sab zor se hanse lage, Rakki ki classmates bhi. Kitna embarrassing!
"Woh toh bohot embarrassing raha hoga."
Bilkul! Aakhir line aage badhi aur main casheir tak pahunch gayi. Maine do meals kharida kyunki mujhe pata tha mujhe energy ki zaroorat padegi. Maine Piattos, Nova aur Cheappy ka ek bada pach bhi liya.
Maine sab takeout karne ko kaha kyunki main Section C mein apna chehra dikhane ka plan nahi kar rahi thi. Bahut hi embarrassing hai!
Maine apna khana liya aur jaldi se cafeteria ki door ki tarah badhi, lekin main ruk gai jab mera takraav Aries se ho gaya. Mera cousin.
Mujhe dekh kar uske bhauhein sikud gayi main vahin jam gayi. Main toh phas gai!
"Hey Aries! Idhar!" Rakki ne aawaz lagayi.
Lekin hum dono mein se koi bhi nahi hila.
Mujhe mahsoos hua koi hamari taraf aa raha hai, jab tak....
"Jay-Jay? Tum yahan ho...." Rakki ne mujhe greet kiya. "Guys, yeh transfer student."
Rakki ne mera kandha pakad kar mujhe cafeteria mein logon se introduce kar diya. Ab mere pass mana karne ka time nahi tha.
"Yeh hai Jay-Jay... Jiske bare mein main pahle baat kar rahi thi," Rakki ne mujhe introduce kiya.
Maine bas apna sir jhuka liya. Maujhe samajh nahi aa raha tha ki mujhe zyada sharam kiske saamne aa rahi hai --- yahan ke logon ke samne ya Aries ke.
Aries chala gaya jab usse pata chala ki main uske saath rahne wali hoon. Humara relationship accha nahi hai kyunki Maine past mein kuch galtiyan ki thi.
"So Jay-Jay.... Section E ke saath tumhara experience kaisa hai?" Ek ladke ne poocha. Shatad uska naam Mykal tha.
Main jawab nhi de paayi. Main yeh nahi batana chahti thi ki poori Section E mere saath panga le rahi thi. Aur main yeh bhi nhi chahti thi ki Section E soche ki main unki shikayat kar rahi hoon.
"W-Woh theek hain... Woh mere sath acche hain." Maine zabardasti smile ki.
"Mujhe lagta hai yeh jhooth hai. Section E bilkul barbaric hai. School ke andar aur bahar dono jagah unka record kharab hai," Rakki ne kaha.
Maine jo suna uss par bhav chadhaya. Barbaric? Thoda zyada extreme nhi hai kya?
"Tension mt lo guys.... Jay us section me acche se fit ho jayegi," Aries ne kaha.
Maine uski taraf dekha. Mujhe samajh nahi aaya ki woh kya matlab nikal raha tha.
Mujhe pata tha ki agar main wahan thodi der aur rukiti, toh sirf khud ko embarrass karti. Maine dheere se Rakki ka haath apne kandhe se hata diya.
"R-Rakki..... Mujhe jana hai. Sorry."
Maine unke jawab ja intezar nhi kiya. Main jaldi se cafeteria se nikal gayi. Pata nahi kyun, par wahan ka atmoshphere bahut ovrrwhelming lag raha tha.
Mujhe Aries ke aas-paas bhi sharmidagi mahsoos ho rahi thi.
Main apne purane school me troblemaker hua karti thi. Tooti hui family se aane ki wajah se, mai rebellious ho gayi thi. Meri grandma ne mujhe apne paas rakha, better life dene ki umeed mein, lekin cheezein sahi nahi ho paayi.
Phir meri grandma ko heart attack aaya, ek fight ki wajah se jisme main phas gayi thi. Meri aunts mujhse naraz ho gayi, siwaye Tita Gema ke --- jo Aries ki mom hain. Woh hi ek thi jisne mujhe mahsoos karaya ki sab kuch sirf meri galti nahi thi.
Sharmindagi mahsoos karte hue, Maine wahan se chale jaane ka faisla kiya. Tita Gema ne mujhe apne ghar mein rakha kyunki unki koi beti nhi thi. Maine haan kaha aur apni grandma aur baki sab se promise kiya ki main apni zindgi sudhar loongi.
Jab main unke ghar pahunchi, mujhe laga tha sab theek ho jayega, lekin Aries mujhe dekhte hi gussa ho gaya. Usne kaha agar main nahi gayi, toh voh chala jayega. Tita ne kuch nahi kiya, isliye Aries chala gaya, aur tab hum phir se mile.
Tita Gema ke liye yeh sab bahut mushkil raha hai. Main mehsoos kar sakti hoon, chahe wo kuch na kahe. Kaash Aries ko pata hota ki main badal chuki hoon.
Mujhe pata hi nahi chala ki kab main Section E ki building tak pahuch chuki thi. Ruko! Main abhi andar nahi ja sakti. Mujhe pakka pata hai woh log phir se mujhe pareshan karenge, aur main theek se khana bhi nahi kha paungi.
Maine idhar-udhar dekha. Maine decide kiya ki ek theek-thaak table aur chair pakad kar wahin laga kar kha loon.
Maine pahla meal khola jo maine kharida tha.
Maine apni blouse per ek tissue bhi rakh liya. Main chahti thi ki uss per khane ka daag lag jaaye.
Hamari uniform simple si blouse hoti hai, black necktie aur ghutne se do inch upar tak skirt. Necktie hamare year level ko dikhati hai. Us par white stripes hote hain. Kyunki hum fourth-year students hain, isliye chaar stripes hain.
Maine pahla meal khatam kiya aur dusra kholne hi wali thi tab tak kisi ne use mujhse jhat se cheen liya. Flash se bhi teez.
"Main yeh le raha hoon!" Woh classmate chillaya jisne mera khana cheena.
Main kuch nahi kar sakti thi. Doosre classmates uske aas-paas jama ho gaye, aur khane ke liye giddhon ki tarah ladne lage.
Maine dekha Keifer deewar se tek laga kar khada tha. Woh bas hamare classmates ko khane ke liye ladte hue dekh raha tha.
"Share karo!"
"Humein bhi do!"
"Yeh mera hai!"
Woh bhookhe jaanwaron jaise hain. Kya unhone lunch nahi kiya?
"Sorry unke liye, woh bas bhookhe hain," Kisi ne kaha.
Maine uski taraf dekha jo ab mere paas baitha tha. Yeh kaun hai? Achanak kahan se aa gaya?
Woh un ladkon mein se ek tha jinse main pahli baar baat kar chuki thi. Jo Keifer ke saath tha. Uske baal brown the.
"By the way, mein Felix hoon..." Usne apna haath aage badha kar introduction diya.
Lekin maine use ignore kar diya. Yeh kya samajhta hai? Pahle mujhe galat room mein bheja tha na? Rahne do!
Maine apne bag se Piattos bada pack nikala. Main use kholne hi wali thi ki kisi ne phir se cheen liya.
"Hey, ruk jao!" Maine chilla kar kaha.
Chor hamare bhookhe classmates ki bheed mein gayab ho gaya. Inhe kya ho gaya hai?
Mere classmates ko kya problem hai? Giddh hain kya? Khaana cheenne mein toh yeh eagles se bhi bure hai.
"Hahaha.... Aur khana mat nikalo," Felix ne kaha.
Maine use gusse se dekha. "Tumhare classmates ko kya ho gaya hai? Bhookhe mar rahe hain kya?"
Woh meri baat par hans pada. "Hahaha... thoda sa."
Mujhe laga jaise main apna sara khana kho chuki hoon, sirf isliye kyunki main apne classmates se irritate ho gayi thi. Unhone wrappers aur bacha hua khana bas floor par idhar-udhar phenk diya.
