It’s her birthday today, I got to look smart. I got dressed in my uniform half pants and shirt with a tie, hated that stupid uniform then too I somehow managed to look smart. I had a gift for her, I didn’t knew what she liked, so I got what like to gift her, that way it would be more precious to me and would add value to it, the gift was a small sticker shaped of a heart and something written on it as “friends forever”. I took my bicycle went to school early so that I get to her first to wish her. On the way I met with an accident to save a little puppy I step down and helped the puppy though I got some bruises I managed to go to school with my broken bicycle. I got late and missed the morning assembly, I spotted Mansi, as it was her birthday she was allowed to wear casuals for a day. She wore a pink frock with a glittered hair band. Our class teacher celebrated her birthday and asked her to distribute chocolates to everyone. I was afraid of her as I was shy, quite and simple. She approached and handed over a chocolate I wished her and said thanks. I was afraid to give her the gift as everyone was staring her so I thought of giving it later. Later in recess I found her surrounded with girls and I was too shy, to approach her. Later after school finished I went toward her and handed over the sticker saying that “I got this sticker as your gift happy birthday”.
Next Day
I was out of pencil, so I asked a girl beside me to lend one. She got her pencil box outside, I observed a sticker on her pencil box, heart shaped. I asked her how she got that sticker. She told that Mansi gave it to her, I was shocked. I ran towards Mansi and asked her why she gave her gift to someone else, she replied rudely “It’s my gift and I can give it to anyone who I like”. I turned sadly and walked away.
That’s the way we used to act so stupid and took small things very seriously, yes I was small I was in third grade, when this incident happen. I remember it cause of the accident and she was my first crush.
