The New Girl: A Thread
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 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 and he told me about a new girl who had come to our section, and how everyone was talking bout 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 friends when in my 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 happend. I was in complete awe of her, its like the time froze for 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 or what, but there were guys who were already making plans to ask her out. It wasn& #39;t even 15 days since she had come!!. The sheer desperation!
Things happen for a reason. I had given up on the hope of being a prefect but my principal had other ideas. On May 11th,Principal called for me in the middle of my class, I was shitting my pants because I thought I was going to get scolded for missing the interview.
I was so scared and then I entered the Principal& #39;s office and she said "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 it but I don& #39;t remember
Jackshit.
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 courage 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 happened.

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 , 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 key role in my life because anime fans were often looked at as loners, who are low on self-esteem(at the time, but things have changed since).
I still watch anime when I get time and I cry like a baby and get inspired by their fake struggles and 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 her 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 to 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?

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 because I had stupid prefectorial duties&of course, it fucking started raining out of no where & I just about made it.
26th July 1:40pm , With alot of 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 could.I could see the entirety of my life flashing Infront of my eyes. I couldnt believe it. Was I rejected?I could hear that bastard (that kid who would purpose her If didn& #39;t ) laughing at me, in my head.
But
Its been almost 10 years, and we are still together. That& #39;s still remains the best decision of 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 in my wildest of dreams, got me here today and I cannot be any more happier and grateful.
