School bell rings! Time for lunch. I stayed in seat looking outside the window. Curious eyes wander at the scene with gentle spring time wind blowing up on his face. I smiled then my attention breaks with a noise. Everyone enjoying and laughing with their friends. Such a wonderful day. A tap on my shoulder made me to turn around. All of my friends were standing behind me and waving to join. I get up and join them. Getting along with everyone having a laugh. My attention shifted, a student who rarely comes at school is present. There were no one around her, even in this crowd she was sitting alone eating her lunch. My mind started to fly all over, exploring all possibilities of why such thing is happening. Is it her appearance? She looked a bit shabby and long hair covering her face. Is it because she rarely comes to school she has no friends?
My buddy put up a plan to go out and eat in the ground. Everyone but me agreed, I told them I was not feeling well. A lie of course. Slowly the whole class emptied, it was just the two of us remaining. I took up my lunch box and moved to next bench to her.
"Hi, i am Siddhartha".
She looked at me then looked around and with questions in her eyes she replied.
"Serene davis, and I know your name".
"Well that's wierd i am not popular or anything"....
