Not My Type

I was nervous as hell... Not because I was late but because I had to face new people and the struggle of being unfit to fit in the world is way too much time and energy consuming.

As the car was approaching to its destiny, I leaned against the windows, put on the earphone, played my all time favourite "All You Got", closed my eyes and let the wind do the magic.

I was so into the blissful moment that I forgot I was going to the high school and it was my first day there. Veronica gently tapped my shoulder and said,

Are you planning to attend the class here, my love?

Amm no...I was just lost in the moment and then I drifted off, I yawned.

Oh-my-forever-lost-in-imagination-friend, oh wait, not lost but trapped, said Veronica giving her sheepish smile.

I smiled faintly and put on the spectacles and hood over the head and was about to grab my bag from the backseat when Veronica stopped me and asked with a scared voice,

Don't tell me silly Cilli that you are again planning to be in your "I-am-nobody-and-I-am-invisible" zone!!

That is correct, my lady. - I said giggling.

Nooooooooooooooo!!!! - exclaimed Veronica

Can't help it. - I said faintly.

Why you have to do that. You can live the life in the way you wish to. You don't have to hide yourself behind that spects and hood. You are one of the incredible person I came across and like me, world should know that too.

But you guys are my world. I don't think anyone else should know and see the real me.

Besides you know I gave it a good try in the past and you also know what I got. I am just sick and tired of hearing taunts and judgements of people. It's best I turn invisible to people. - I said calmly

Huh, your invisibility cloak makes you more interesting in some way to many people. You do realise that people find it adventurous to approach the unapproachable!! - stated Veronica.

Ohkay what do you think I am?

I am not Jennifer Aniston for whom the whole world is mad.

Not madam curie. Not an ancient Indian bluestocking like Gargi and Maitrai, in short nothing is extraordinary about me and you do realise that I am intimidating and stubborn person. So... Don't waste your time convincing me the impossible and and and miss Veronica  Stockholm, we don't want to miss the maths class, do we!? - I said and grabbed my bag before leaving the car.

Hey hey hey, wait for me silly missy! - Veronica shouted.

I thought I wouldn't come across the people from my junior high, specially in maths and physics class, but I was wrong. When we were heading to our classroom I heard a familiar voice from behind,

Well, well, well... Look who is here!

I didn't know they give admission to garbage. Now the whole place is stinking - said the person.

Celia didn't have to turn around to see who it was. She was Grace Wells, daughter of the Mayer of the city.

She was born with the diamond spoon in her mouth so she treats people beneath her status like dirt.

They both shared the same junior high school and when Grace was famous for her status, looks and her heartless demeanour, Celia was praised for her good grades, calm, humble and kind nature.

Grace never liked the presence of Celia because she can never stand the fact that anyone is above her in any matter so she always found ways to insult and humiliate her for her own amusement but most of the time it backfired on her.

Just when Celia was about to retaliate against the insult Grace was throwing on her, Veronica took the lead and said,

Seems like you hadn't had your morning fragrant hot bubble bath that's why the whole place is stinking.

Oh wait! It's not your body but your character which is stinking. Alas! It's such a shame you can't do anything about that. Poor girl!!

Youuuu!! - Grace stammered furiously

Cutting her out in the middle, Veronica said, poke your nose in the books instead of others life. Don't tell me you haven't have better things do other than insulting others. We aren't kid anymore. Grow up and get a life!!

Grace was shaking furiously because no one ever dared to talk to her like that. She has the power of ruining anyone's life in a blink of an eye. So people always do as she pleases. Earlier in junior high, Veronica and Celia were in different sections so Veronica never came across the situation like this and Celia never told her anything about her previous encounters with Grace. Although Veronica got to know these things from others and just when she used to go to teach Grace a lesson, Celia would  stop her. But Veronica couldn't let this happen to Celia again, at least not when she was around.

You are so gonna regret it, Stockholm!! - said Grace while gritting her teeth.

Go ahead, Wells. Do whatever you wish to do. But if you ever dare to say or do anything bad to Celia, then remember, even devil will not be able to save you from me. - said Veronica intimidatingly.

Grace, I have done nothing wrong to you. Please live and let me live. - interrupted Celia in bored tone.

And Veronica, we are now 10 minutes late for the maths class!! - stated Celia.

Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!

Run Celia - said Veronica hurriedly leaving Grace furious.

When they reached the class, professor was yet to come so they breathed a sigh of relief. They went to back side of the classroom seated themselves. They have already decided to be the backbenchers not because they wanted to have fun but it was Celia's wish to sit at the back corner so nobody could notice and interrupt her. When they settled down on the bench, Celia asked,

What was that?

What? - said Veronica innocently.

Even devil won't be able to save you from me crap? - Celia said while rolling her eyes.

Hihihihi.. That was savage no!

From the junior high I was waiting for this opportunity, how could I let that go so easily. Besides, that nutjob should have tested her own medicine earlier but you never did that so I did it for you and even it makes you mad, even it brings trouble in my life, I will do it again.. I will do it again and again for you for thousands of times. - said Veronica.

Celia's heart felt full at this moment.

She couldn't ask for more. She got very few people in her life and Veronica was one of them. They have each other's back and support. They both were inseparable. But fate has various ways to test the bond between two people and it was yet to disclosed.

Veronica was talking to others to make good acquaintances while Celia was going through her favourite novel "Eleven minutes by Poulo Coelho" she brought to read in her  free time. Just when she was about to get lost in the words, she heard a collective gasp. She didn't bother to look up and continued to read. Veronica shook her shoulder to get her attention and said,

Hey Cilli , look at the entrance!

Just look-

Before Veronica could finish her sentence Celia took a look at the entrance and sighed,

Not My Type!!!!
