MY TEENAGE DAWN (POST 1)

MY TEENAGE DAWN - SATWIK YELIKE

Hey guys, hope you'll like my first novella 'MY TEENAGE DAWN'. It's a story about Denn and his teenage crush Dawn. POST 1 :

That was the first day of my Intermediate(High school). My friend Nest and I planned to join in this same college and we did. It was a huge campus and the classes already started to take place. The next day I got to know that Nest and I would be sitting in different sections. I was scared as I knew no one. It was a co-ed college. Girls there were so good looking. 

The next morning, I went to the class so early thinking I could make some new friends.

 The total strength was around 50 and only 20 of them were girls but all of them were so good looking.  I sat in the first bench. 

Right beside my bench then came this beautiful, beautiful girl. She immedialtely got my eyes on her. During the introductory class when she was about to introduce herself, one idiot called me to ask something and I missed knowing her name. She soon started talking to other girls so effortlessly and I understood that she already made some good friends but the only thing I was sad about is that I didn't know her name. I didn't look at other girls except her. I felt so homely when I first saw her. I forgot to tell you it was a boarding school. I was very shy and scared to talk to girls then. 

My ears caught her beautiful voice as there was not much gap between our two benches but only three feet. Of course boys and girls were not allowed to sit together. It was a typical Indian college.

I was not so good looking then. I had an opinion that beautiful girls only talk to charming boys. I used to look like an innocent puppy among all those big, tall guys.

I made some good friends on the first day itself. It was a good day. That picture of her face was still moving in my eyes. My teenage heart began to fly. Nest and I took a room together in the hostel along with three other guys. We all began talking to eachother and I already knew that they were good.

I couldn't sleep properly as it was my first day there in the hostel. Well, it was air conditioned. Nest and I got up early. We had our breakfast. The food wasn't so good but I lied to my parents that it was good just because I didn't want them to get worried. Of course, nothing beats the taste of our home made food. 

I was on my way to my class but I could spot my angel walking even though she was in a crowd far away. I was so desperate to know her name. Then a girl from the other side screamed "Hey DAWN!!".

Wow! That's a strange name but I loved it. 

Yay! I got to know her name. That morning's class was the one I could never forget because that was the first time I got stars in my eyes. She was looking through the window which was on my side. I turned towards her involuntarily and I don't know how, she too looked at me and we both got our eyes locked for five seconds. That literally brought stars in my eyes. I'm telling you, STARS literally! It was quick though.
