I can't get the image out of my head. Yes, I really just can't. Even after years out of school, it is still hovering in my head! It was our first day at school after mid term.
With our dirty rolled up sleeves and rugged school bags, my friend and I were unlocking our bicycles from the school parking. Sweating after a whole day's game of cricket we were planning for some refreshments on the way home.
With our dirty rolled up sleeves and rugged school bags, my friend and I were unlocking our bicycles from the school parking. Sweating after a whole day's game of cricket we were planning for some refreshments on the way home.
I
spotted a pink Ladybird bicycle few rows in front of us and thought 'Looks like
a brand new one, must be some new girl in school'. My friend was already
shaking my shoulders. When I raised my sight he was pointing at a girl
standing right next to that bicycle.
We
could only see her backside. Her long plaited hair, her fair glowing hands,
her cool backpack, the brand new lunch box, her titan watch and her pearl
earrings... As we were admiring whatever our eyes laid on, off she took her
bicycle and rode out of the school.
We
both hurried. Whatever we saw from behind, flattered us. We were very eager to see her
front profile, her pretty face to be precise. We unlocked our rides and came
out, looked at both the sides swiftly. I yelled 'Dai! There she is..' We
pedaled as quick as we can, even without seating ourselves. We reached right
behind her few feet away and slowed down.

Realized
how sweaty and messed we looked, we wiped ourselves with our sleeves. We
knew this would make our mothers very unhappy but do you think we would bother
about it at that moment? Nah..! (Surf Excel ads were not on air those days :P) The final touch was combing our hair with the
fingers as we raced past her in style.
Just
when we both looked back at the same time in ultra slow motion to see her face..
*Kling Klong.. Screech.. Dash.. Duh.. @#*%&+ç BANG*- with all sorts of clinking
noises we both were on the road over our bicycles. We boys looked at each other
and snickered, as she pedaled past us throwing an odd look. What we saw was
never spoken.
The
next morning, I entered the class and my friend was already sitting at our
desk.'Dai! I can't get her image out of my head da...’ I whispered and he chuckled ‘Neither could I...’. As we were getting ready for the
class, we got shocked to see the same ‘Ladybird’ girl entering into our class and took her seat right in
front of us. My friend and I looked at each other, ‘Oh Noo..’ and we ducked.
Moral of the story: Don’t expect any moral from this story. Basically, don’t look back
(especially at a girl) while you are riding a bicycle. He He!
P.S: What we did was stupid enough to laugh
even after 15 years. Me and my friend are still waiting to see that girl without
her ‘soda buddi’ (extra thick goggles) and ‘clip’ (shiny silver braces) on her
raised teeth. :P
