The New Girl : A Thread
When I 1st saw her , I was 15 years old.
To this day I remember that moment vividly , like it was yesterday.
To this day I remember that moment vividly , like it was yesterday.
She got admitted to our school on 22nd April and I was absent that day because I had a fever , so I went to my friend& #39;s house that evening to know what all had happened in the school and I got to know that apparently I had missed my interview with the VP for a prefectorial post
also he told me about a new girl who had come to our section , and how everyone was having a crush on her , the usual basically but I wasn& #39;t too keen on hearing that stuff because I was sad I had missed my interview.
25th April , I went to school , I was talking with my mates when in the periphery I saw a girl walking into the class , she was the new girl , and I was blown away , didn& #39;t know what that meant till that day. I was in complete awe of her , its like the time froze on me.
Never believed in that shit , but well it was happening to me.
I never had any issues with striking up a conversation with anyone , be it be a girl or a boy but for days I couldn& #39;t muster up the courage to go and even ask her , her name.

Though things around me were moving pretty fast , I don& #39;t know if its a Delhi thing , but there were guys who were already making plans to ask her out. It wasn& #39;t even 15 days since she had come.
Things happen for a reason in your life.I had given up on the thought of being a prefect but my principal had other ideas. On May 11th,Principal called for me in the mid of my class,I was shitting my pants because I thought I was going to get a scolding for missing the interview.
My heart sank when I entered the room. There were 5 people sitting in the room. Our school& #39;s chairperson , director , principal , vice principal and disciplinary incharge. I thought , shit , its all over. They are rusticating me for missing the interview.
I was about to cry and go down on my knees to beg for mercy but then the VP said , A this is your prefectorial interview. Introduce yourself. My interview went on for some 40 mins. Apparently I gave one of the best interviews ever because somehow eveyone knew about
but as fate would have it , I had blacked out and I don& #39;t remember shit.
May 18th , we had our prefectorial ceremony and I was the prefect in charge of the middle block (8th-10th standard). I was very proud and happy.
But , things changed.

This girl , whom I had been avoiding because I didn& #39;t have the balls to talk to , came up to me , I could make out she was as awkward as I was but she congratulated me and truth be told , that congratulation was a bigger deal than becoming a prefect.
But the very next day , it was our summer vacation. And we didn& #39;t have any contact till the school reopened.
We were back to square one and that awkward brief conversation , felt like it never took place

Our class teacher rearranged our seats and once again through divine intervention , here I was sitting right behind her.
I am an ardent anime fan , an anime otaku if you may & I was talking about Naruto& Bleach with my best friend at the time , and she suddenly turned back and here it was , the 1st girl whom I knew shared the same passion as I did for anime and we couldn& #39;t stop talking after that.
Never thought in my wildest of dreams , that anime would play such a part in my life because anime otaku are often looked at as loners , who are low on self-esteem , well there goes your prejudice.
I still watch anime when I get time and I cry like a baby and get inspired by their fake struggles supported by their inspiring music so yeah don& #39;t give two fucks about what people think about your interests. It doesn& #39;t matter.
July 20th , those wannabe boys , who were after her took notice of the long conversations I used to have with the new girl in between classes or free periods and one of them , after school , came with his friends to challenge me that he would propose her in a week& #39;s time
Basically what it meant was that I had a week to win her over.
I didn& #39;t think I had it in me to do that , but it used to be the best times when I used to talk to her about anime , how normies wouldn& #39;t get the difference between cartoon and anime

and why anime are so much better than those overrated sitcoms. I couldn& #39;t afford lose that
26th july , after 5 days of intense thinking , not eating properly , not sleeping enough , I thought fuck it , what will happen? She will be weirded out and will stop talking to me? Yeah didn& #39;t matter to me (of course it did , I was shitting bricks by that time)
26th July 1:33pm,I had told my friends who she used to talk to after school was over,to stop her from going to her bus and engage her till the time I came bc I had stupid prefectorial duties&of course, it fucking started raining out of no where,but I just about made it in time.
26th July 1:40pm , With alot hesitation , embarrassment , fear , I somehow confessed my feelings to her ( at this point we were Infront of the staff room because it was raining and it was the closest dry place around , talk about not having balls).
All she had for me was a big "OK"&she ran frm there as fast as she cud.I cud see the entire flashback of my life Infront of my eyes. i couldnt believe it.Was I rejected?I cud hearing that bastard (that kid who challenged me) laughing at me , in my head.Yep , as brutal as it gets.
But
Its been 8 years , and we are still together. That& #39;s still the best decision in my life that I have ever taken till date.

The very aspects of my personality that I thought would never lead me to a meaningful relationship , got me here today and I cannot be any more happier and grateful.
