Awkward friendship - 1 - Getaway Geeth

From the time we are an embryo in our mothers uterus to the time we can frame proper sentences we are stuck with people we are familiar with and know. That is your father, mother, brother, grandma, grandpa, milk boy, fish aunty, aunty who comes to take care of us, the neighbor aunty, okay you see where I am going with this? SO when I was highly bored with them and quite frankly started regarding myself far superior to be hanging out with them, that’s when my parents decided to put me in a school. And to cut the story short, I hated that god forsaken place. The classrooms smelled like old spoiled milk and the desk and benches smelled of stale lunch boxes, with a lot of scribbled pencil marks. I loathed school, but that’s a story for another day. We are here to talk about my friend, lets call her Alpha. After few weeks of hating school and being dragged with two hands and feet running through the sand by 3 teachers inside the classroom while the school principle looked on with the most disgusting face anybody can keep, I was made to sit with this angel of a person. Our connection was unique and spontaneous. She gave me her spare pencil when mine kept breaking and I gave her a wry smile at first. During recess we will sit and talk about life and boys((no we did not), and then eventually one thing led to another and we started sharing sketch pens too. The relationship went to a whole new level when people started noticing our friendship and even started teasing us. I still remember somebody pronouncing her name wrong and I screamed at them with my fat red face. I was precious, right?

You know there can never be a happy ending without a villain coming into the picture. It was none other than Alpha’s father, Gama. That’s right he decided to take her away from me by making her join a “better” school. “There is no school better than this Alpha!”, I screamed and pleaded.

But she stopped coming to school and she lost my number which i am pretty sure i wrote it on a paper with such difficulty. Anyway i kept stalking her through all my life and i came to know from someone that she is coming back to join the same school i was coming to join for my high school. I was elated and all i wanted was to meet her and hug her. I am sounding more weird, i know. She was two months delayed in joining the school for some reason. But the day she arrived, I waited to see her till lunch break and she was exactly how i imagined when i saw her for real at first. And i was convinced it was her because of the name tag stuck to her uniform blouse “Alpha Gama”. This is it, I am going to meet my buddy and i was shievering with excitement and nervousness. I went upto her and this is how the conversation went, well almost.

It may seem to be trivial in unica-web.com purchase generic levitra the beginning when your impotence is obvious in bed, but such medicines are fake and can harm you badly. Firstly because it can be easily remedied through medications such as overnight cialis tadalafil, cialis successfully treat ED in many men. You can get the greatest deals on both the medicine forms together with free services super cialis cheap offered by the recognized masters of Google AdWords and would type the premise from which I’d begin to develop PPC understanding. Taking note of trials and discount viagra errors is how many webmasters have learned to market a service or product appropriately.

ME: “Hi” *Smiling like a lunatic*
AG: “Hi” *awkward smile back*
ME: “You are Alpha right?” *Smiling lunatic alert*
AG: *looks at her name tag* “Yes”
ME: “I am Lakshmi Geeth” *Whole wide teeth smile*
AG: “Okay” *Awkward stare*

My whole world went crumbling down. I turned back and walked so hastily that few of my other friends followed me back to our building block in the school, probably thinking i was crying. But all i wanted to do was go to the girls washroom and dig a hole in the ground and make a underpass directly to the room in my house. From that day onwards it was difficult for me to acknowledge people, if i met them outside. If i see someone i know, my immediate action is to hide someplace they cant see, like behind the tree, or cover face with basket or behind my mother or dunk to the floor of my car. I even had a situation when one of my friend from college saw me hiding and came to me and i was like “heyyy i was just looking for the potatos, how are you?”. But nothing awkward compared to my so called friendship with Alpha. I used to still see her here and there in school, eventhough we were not in the same class. But whenever i saw her I found myself taking a few steps back. I am sure she is a fantastic grown woman now, but for me she will always be my aplha whose spare pencil still holds dear to my heart. I am pretty sure its still under all the junk at my home.
