Well do I remember that day, June 3rd, 2009, when I entered that IX-A class, without having any interest, scolding in my mind the teacher who had done the promotion, basically because my two best friends were in another class, but still there was a cousin of mine and another friend. The teacher who came to our class added to my already low spirit. How I wished I was in IX-C or at least B. Its easy to say "Make friends", but practically difficult to find a person who matches your wavelength. I was always grumpy in my early ninth. I convinced myself that I was happy with the friends I got.
Gradually the time came when my teacher decided to change my place. I found no obvious difference. After two days or so came Aishu sit near me. That day myself and another friend kept giving her puzzles and riddles to solve. To my utter joy I got a person who shared my view on tuition. Not only her, but now the entire last 3 benches had become close now, thanks to mainly our catcher-killer games. I can never forget those games. Then came the jinx called "Annual exams". After a weekend of summer holidays we were back to school for the special classes. We got places keeping watch not to break the 'last 3 bench group'. We loved special classes more than normal classes, because there was no attendance and no time restrictions. They were the best. Then came the so called vacation. Going to Black Thunder was the only eventful thing that happened then. As soon as school reopened the scramble of tenth started.
I don't know how time passed. I was happy that I got good teachers for all subjects (excepting the language teacher, who often reminds me of Gilderoy Lockhart). I was not afraid of practical classes. But I really can't reason why my hand always shivers when I pour anything into anything in chemistry lab. The consequence was the pouring of concentrated sulphuric acid on my hand on my first chemistry class (still have the mark on my left hand). I learnt not only my subjects in X-A but also lessons life offered me. Those joyful lunch breaks, never ending talks still ring in my ear.
Finally the D-Day came. March 22. I had no seriousness that I was about to write the Board exams. I had been more serious for school exams. Probably because we were given too many holidays in between. And then after it seemed ages, came the day, much looked forward to by most of the students - April 11. We (the famous last 3 bench group) all went to a friend's house to freshen up, went to Arun unlimited, back to school to take some snaps, back home then. Everything went well that day except for Aishu who hadn't joined in the celebrations. Time seemed to run very fast that afternoon.
Finally when I was back home I felt sorry that I was leaving that class. We are now a family. I don't know when I started liking that class, but now I am too sorry to leave it. I never thought I would like this class when I entered it on June 3rd, 2009. But April 11, 2010 is a day which will remain evergreen in my memories. The X-A family rocks forever.
