40.0 Sleepy Hours, Boys, Love & Fun

We had our physics class on Sundays. When it comes to Sunday, my energy was over for the entire week. So, most of the time, it was very difficult to travel there even. Sometimes I have fallen sleep in the class because of this reason. It happened unintentionally and, I could not control it though I wanted. If there were no friends, I have fallen asleep and, finally attending that class also useless. 

One day when I was writing in the book, I heard someone laugh as a dream. So, I woke up and, looked around without turning my head. Oh my god... I wrote the question and, I thought the teacher was explaining the answer. Though I was sleeping, I thought that why he was reading too fast. Lol... After that, a few paper rockets came towards my head and, it was a shame for me. When I was going out after finishing the class, one boy said that 'You are not waking up even after hitting a rocket...Lol... 

In that exam era, I went to a night class and, those days I stayed in the boarding place. There was a walking distance. That class was a group class, and there were about eight students. It started at four o'clock and ended at eight o'clock. There were a few students who came from different locations and, that's why the teacher started the class at four o'clock. 

That class held near our school and, I had to pass the school first to go there. It was a rainy day and, I left the boarding place to go to the class. Suddenly, a boy who also was going to that class came under my umbrella. He said that he could not bring the umbrella. He came in front of our school and, I was shocked for a moment as we had certain disciplinary rules. When we were wearing the school uniform, we could not share our umbrella with a boy. He asked 'Is that fine with you? I did not reply to him back though I did not like to breach our school rules. But I could not ask him to go out as well because of the rainy climate️. So, I went with him a few miles. 

After a few minutes, he said that 'I'm not coming to trouble you if I don't have books in my hand. Those are getting wet. That's why I came. I felt very angry with him. Same time I saw our class teacher at the bus halt and, she did not look at me. So, I asked him to go out by taking the books in his hand. I would not ask him to go out if he did not have that big head. When I was going to the class, he looked like a wet bird. He did not look at me even and, he wiped his head using his handkerchief. At that time, others were kidding and laughing at him.

After that incident, he did not look at me at all and, I think he got angry with me. I did not go to school on the following day as my class teacher was on the bus halt when this was happening. So, once I went to school, she smiled and asked 'Are you not well because of the rain? According to the way she smiled, I realized that she noticed the incident made by that idiot. Same time I thought that she would see the entire thing. Otherwise, I would be in the principal’s office on that day.

Learning in a tuition class was a different experience for some students who did not study in mixed schools. Those who have studied in a boys' or girls' school had to mix up in the tuition class. It was a pleasure for most of them. Though I studied in a convent at that time, the rest of the other schools I studied were mixed schools. So, it did not bring me a different exposure. Those days, most such students started love affairs. In some cases, there were fights as well to protect their love affairs. Some boys tried for one girl and, such situations made a crisis among them. 

Some boys also faced the same situation when several girls were trying to get their attention. We also had a pretty friend among us and, most of the boys followed her for her love. Sometimes it was a headache for her. Some boys waited and followed her when she was going somewhere. As we were her friends, we also had to give her details and convey their messages with our friends. So, though they did not follow us, we also had to share the details carefully and, we did it as per our friend's instructions. 

So, it was a punishment for a few friends including me. Sometimes I told whatever came to my mind. However, there was one situation where we communicated different details for the same question they asked. So, we all decided to get the exact answers from our pretty friend to answer the questions of her followers. One day one of our friends saw that one boy was waiting for my friend to convey a message and, get some details.

However, that friend could not get the instructions from our beauty queen on that day and, she was clueless. So, what she did was, she ran away in another route to avoid that boy. However, she could not close the eyes of that boy and, he also ran and followed her. She could not run a long way and, she had fallen on the road. The funniest thing was, that boy was the one who helped her to stand up. The other people also came to support her. So, he did not ask anything from her. After that incident, he did not ask anything from her. Though she got rid of that problem, he got the details from us as usual and, we communicated the details as per the instructions of our beauty queen.

In the tuition classes, we met friends from different nationalities as well. It was a good experience we all had and, some of them are still good friends. Those friendships have a strong bond with each other like siblings. I think it's a bit difficult to find out honest friends when you are an adult. Just do a small analysis and see who are your actual friends. Then you can see still the remaining best gang is coming from your childhood or school days. 

So, I hope we can build up a strong relationship among different nationalities if we have schools without religion-wise or gender-wise differentiation. One good example is one of our father's friend who is coming from another nationality. He is one best friend from my father's childhood. 

He was the one who supported my father when he was not well. In one year, there was a flood in our area and, our house also severely damaged because of that situation. At that time, he brought food for us. He swam and brought it to us. It was not an easy task to swim in that cold water as he was not a young man to struggle with the water. My father said that the job he did won't do with his own brother even in that situation. We were very emotional at that time. I think we can build up such a strong friendship among the different nationalities via the concept of a mixed school which can bring different people under one roof. 

Otherwise, we would see them as aliens, once we have to move with each other as adults.
