That One That Never Got Away

Not gonna lie saying those days were the best of my life, cause i know that best days are yet to come. College is still ahead- if this pandemic will let me see it for real in once in this life. But yes, i still got hope that college would be million times fun than school. Or is it just an excuse to miss school little less?

IDK but not even a day passes by when i haven't dreamed about or think about your yellow and red facade . Green vast grounds. Broken taps. Damaged furniture. I never forgot smell newly arrived books in library. The lovely taste of canteen's food still make me crave for it. While going on my morning walks i still wish the road to be one of your corridors taking me to my classroom. Filling my water bottle before heading for workout, i always care to remember how all of us would intentionally not bring our bottles to school, how whole class would trust that one guy, to bring water for all of us. Doesn't matter even if had cold, and am sure none would have hesitated if he had COVID too!

Daily i dream about my time spent with you. 12 years . We were together for 12 long years, how am i supposed to forget you in a year? I am ready to attend all those drop dead boring lectures. All those suspensions for breaking furniture, or someone's arm am ready to take. Ready to do burdensome homework. I promise, i will not miss the lab classes. Will not watch videos during computer lab. I will not feed my leftover food to kittens. This time i will not argue with teachers. Please this time , lemme have those back, just for once.

I miss you. The much i try to not the much i end up missing you more. The badminton court where i spent hours and hours, i still want to spend some times with you. Still mornings seem lifeless. though i hated waking up early, though i hated wearing that uniform, though i always pulled a face while eating my breakfast, i want all that back now. Cause now i wake up @6 daily, eat breakfast daily, somedays even put on my uniform again, to see if it still fits. I often make two braided pony tails, to feel like a 16 year old, but i turned 18 yesterday only. Nothing feels like 16 anymore. Neither me nor my friends.

We are way too young in our school lives. It never occurs to us that these are exactly the moments we'd crave in future. We are still in the blooming phase. We are learning daily, even our first love we find in school. There's nothing as exotic as school. Drinking the first time, partying the first time, coming first for the first time, kissing and some loose their virginity too. But the fun fact is these are days you will end up remembering the most. TRUST ME!

My school days were harsh, but dear lord fights are equally important as fun. This is what i learned. Its the daily drama which ads up to your life. Its your dumbest of friends who are so missed at the end. Its everything . enjoy it before it turns to nothing.

This is to the teens still enjoying their school life. Do not bunk school to smoke in the backyard. You are gonna miss it like hell. These are really the best days of your life. Time will pass by, you will be making great achievement. But no achievement can feel like winning a race or painting competition in school. Do not waste a single moment of your school. School is everything when we realize its very late. Doesn't matter how harsh or bad your school life is, you will always miss it, once you can't go that place anymore. Thus squeeze the best out of it. Because you will for sure miss your friends, and would wait for them to call, which doesn't happen much. So talk to them now, let go of all those petty fights, mate, you are in your golden age now.
