Daisy's pov

Keeping thoughts to myself has always been a speciality of mine. Sometimes I wondered how my future will be and how far I'll drift apart from the people I cherish, I was never a people's person but somewhere in my heart, I held them close. I also hated when people made the wrong impression on me though, it always found a way to linger and this was what was affecting me. I didn't like most of my classmates. Including Yash, they always found me a reason to create doubt, they never failed to make me know that it was one man for himself. And this only made me distance myself more.

Sincerely speaking, I wasn't beautiful, I looked normal, I was short and of medium weight, my face was round but it wasn't round enough, I was just the normal average looking girl you'll see just about anywhere, but, I had an eye for beauty, I always knew when something looked gorgeous. Don't get me wrong I don't always choose the best things I choose the awkward ones because... I found potential in them, I knew they would create magic.

This was the case for humans too, I knew who was the prettiest person just with a glance and that is how I happen to get attracted to both Ajy and Yash, they were the prettiest there and it just happened to attract me. This was cool, but funny cause I have the same effect on male teachers.

They always have a soft spot for me and this bothered me a lot in this class. Since I wasn't that close to my mates I had to be close to someone, though I prefer to be alone. It always attracted attention, people always asked me what was wrong whenever I was alone, it made me look like someone sad, but I wasn't, I just didn't know how to tell them.🤔

Once one of my teachers told me he liked me, I looked at him with displeasure and he tried to make it less awkward, by telling me how different I was and some other sort of garbages, the one you knew wasn't exactly true but was being told constantly. This didn't bother me much as I never liked the teacher, although I couldn't see through his facade I knew better to stay away from him.😖

He might have thought I was young and could be taken advantage of or maybe he didn't even think at all, that wasn't any of my concern, I knew what I had to do, but... I decided not to, I had second thoughts. Maybe he just liked me like everyone else and I was just overreacting, one little mistake and it might cost his job. I was in a dilemma but soon my problem was solved. The school had issues with him and he left. Good riddance to bad rubbish.😝

Life at school was beginning to have effects on me. There was a lot of pressure from different angles. We had external exams and we couldn't afford to fail, we were drilled daily for these upcoming exams so much that I began to have frequent headaches. I slept less, ate less and almost didn't have any social life left. Weeks to the exam, I began to have exam fever, I began to doubt myself, what if I couldn't make it? what if I fail? I wasn't exactly the best and I also wasn't a genius. The things I knew were a result of effort and hard work but what if my effort wasn't enough? I began to seek guidance from God and soon he answered my prayers, though not in an all pleasant manner. There was a disease outbreak and the exam was postponed until further notice. The only problem I had was that now we all stayed home and had to prepare ourselves.

I was relieved. Before going home, I exchanged emails with one of Yash's friends; Ral. He was the only junior that attracted me, Yes he is handsome but that wasn't why, he saw me like a sister and treated me like one. It would only be fair if we checked up on each other during the holiday.

Ral decided to share my email address with Yash😶... just in case we wanted to communicate, but Yash was very passive about it, If I didn't know better I would say he was happy and was trying his best to cover it up. But I knew Yash, he was just trying to mock me, He said:" Does she even check her mails, I mean if I perchance message her she probably won't even check it". The blow was fatal, it was indeed true, I never check my mails, but I have a reason for that. Would you check a new oven for baked bread,?

Of course not, so why would I check my mail when I know no one had the address and I'm not expecting anything from anyone. But now that he has my mail, I might check PERCHANCE😏 he sends me a message. I didn't ask for his though, I knew I wasn't going to message him first either way.

The first few weeks of staying home weren't that adventurous the next day after we started was Kara's birthday, we had planned an elaborate one but... I believe it wasn't meant to happen. I started preparing for the exam which I didn't know at that moment was happening in seven months and life was pretty smooth.

I decided to check my emails one evening and behold, Yash messaged me. What are the odds?

See ya,

Love ya.
