Hayat was walking from the washroom back to her class. It was lunchbreak so there was a load of noise, but that didn't seem to bother Hayat. She walked slow, one step at a time , staring at the balcony which was there due to the quadrangle in her school. Rain drops were falling, drip drip drip. Hayat started humming a song in her head, she often did that when she felt 'This would be perfect with music'. She was in her own world , and for a second there, she actually felt good. It was all sad and gloomy but Hayat loved the presence of the rain. It was like a companion. A small smile hit her face, and she felt a little bit of an ease , she felt a little bit happiness in a long time.
Suddenly someone tapped her shoulder from behind. Hayat flinched a little and turned back, disappointed that she was disturbed from this nice feeling.
"Priya Ma'am wants to meet you , she is in the staffroom."
"ohh okay ..thank you ." Hayat replied as her fellow student walked away.
She started walking towards the staffroom, with only one question in her head "What now?"
In the politest way possible.
she knocked the staffroom door, and asked if she could enter . A tall , thin lady with a light smile on her face looked towards Hayat.
"Priya Ma'am you wanted to see me?"Hayat said looking back at the lady
"Ahh yes come" the lady stood up she took Hayat to the side and handed her out a paper.
The lady proceeded and said "Hayat I'm not sure what's wrong.....I have taught you before when you were younger , and I know this isn't like you....I checked with the previous year's teachers , they said your marks were not good.....from what I taught you before, it's clear your marks degraded and compared to last year , the first test this year,....these test marks ..are way better ....but you are gonna be a senior next year...if you keep this up it will be really hard for you......please ...I don't wanna scare you, but you need to know"
Hayat looked down at the piece of paper, and then looked back at the teacher
"I understand ma'am , I will do better next time..." Hayat replied.
"Mmhhmm I hope to see more improvement " the teacher replied and let Hayat go.
Hayat walked out of the room, another problem on her list.
