Anvika was getting ready for her first day at Vedha Ventra Matriculation Higher Secondary School. After returning from her hostel due to health issues, she had transferred to this school to continue the same academic year.

"Anvika! Anvika! It's already time! Come here, let me braid your hair. Your sister has to get ready for college too, so be quick!" her mother called from the hall.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvnM1MigTv
"Coming, Amma!" Anvika replied.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxfNWPKH9N
As her mother neatly braided her hair, she smiled and said,
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdf68Rkutp
"Anvi, study well. Don't get into any trouble. If anything happens, tell Appa or me immediately, okay?"
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1SuBI2Wq2
"Okay, Amma," Anvika replied.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wx4DsHtOM
Although she answered, her thoughts were elsewhere.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8COVOWrFpY
How will this new school be? Will everything be alright?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgCKrOndUB
She let out a deep sigh.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVVzMKJHpC
I escaped from this place once... and now I'm back to the same prison. Once again... Tiruppur.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5kADHr4Oz
Oh God... help me survive this. I don't even know if I believe in you, but I still hope you'll protect me.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyX4latqtQ
Her father dropped her off at school on his bike.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgqE44XUJ4
"All the best, Anvi," he said with a reassuring smile.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDetB9gT7A
She forced a smile, adjusted her backpack, and walked towards the school gate.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGkR6fD3B4
Standing before the entrance of Vedha Ventra Matriculation Higher Secondary School, she took a deep breath.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozdO3bNXUN
"Here we go..."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2U40Lw9lR
The principal welcomed her warmly before introducing her to the school's Discipline Coordinator, Mr. Karan.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsIGC2Fr4O
"Mr. Karan will take you to your classroom."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfpE5i9HvZ
Karan nodded with a smile and led her to Class XI-B (Bio-Maths).
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIchfZNnQnd
As they entered the classroom, every student's eyes turned towards the new girl.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLR9KMUPc3
"Good morning, everyone," Karan said.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtTTzUZQvA
"We have a new student joining us today."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0tgBEZ99z
Anvika stepped forward nervously.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxggfgnyg23
"Good morning, everyone. My name is Anvika. I recently transferred from a school in Erode due to health reasons. It's nice to meet you all."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw7FTChXf7
The class greeted her warmly.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5l9GBd3Wf
She quietly walked to the first bench and sat down.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jQEm6uqvI
Although every face around her was unfamiliar, she tried her best to maintain her composure.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv1mviZx3K
The girls sitting beside her smiled warmly.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2cmg3qo6Z
"Hi, Anvi! We're happy to have you here. If you need anything, just ask us."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvfrwqIh9N
A small smile appeared on Anvika's face.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vK7KwnZEH
"Thank you."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfByieBEpl
Before another conversation could begin, Karan sir returned.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrON9zxR6m
"Everyone, please stand up. We have an important session on Mental Health in the auditorium."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7QnNtsWlc
Anvika blinked.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS6zqQcAcO
Seriously...? First day itself, a mental health lecture? Maybe the school already knows I'm the problem.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWLCps6Ucs
Trying not to overthink it, she followed the class towards the auditorium.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAwwPLp9Eh
As she entered the large hall, she quietly found a seat.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ4puGQN4a
Please don't fall asleep, Anvi...
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChlPxAs2fX
Sleeping during a lecture on your very first day would be the most embarrassing thing ever.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jFMwjj4Lo
Stay awake... just stay awake...
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVPwDJldRA
The session continued for nearly an hour.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUGKWVVEvm
As everyone walked back towards their classrooms, Anvika suddenly slowed her steps.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sId1JDSOf
A few familiar faces caught her attention.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGiXV6uj9R
Wait... aren't they my 10th-grade classmates?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTdZrd8ptO
Her eyes widened for a brief moment.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdj9OW43Oc
What are they doing here...?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1jp2maVEX
They had already noticed her.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzsnpxDr99
Yet...
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF6ZLHOKf6
None of them smiled.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuHWd6tjIM
None of them greeted her.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NdfK0xDyr
For a brief second, their eyes met.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquO8e1zjBn
They're... pretending they don't know me?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVAouTrz2e
Not wanting to make things awkward, Anvika simply looked away and walked past them as if they were strangers.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy7w0TxX4h
One question refused to leave her mind.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHEkrAIu8R
Why did they pretend they didn't know me?
