Salman's POV

             I was directed to my classroom by an office staff, she gestured at the closed door and told to excuse myself inside.

             As she left me there all alone I gave a slight knock on the door. I heard a voice calling out "come in". It was a new place and I was kind of nervous.

           I tilted the handle of the door gently, peeped inside and mouthed an "excuse me". All the students who were seated facing the white board in the front of the classroom immediately turned behind to see who was at the door. There were female and male students. The teacher was already present in class. I felt awkward.

           I stood there till the teacher permits me inside. She was already informed of my arrival, so she welcomed me with a warm smile "come and have a seat" and she gestured to an empty chair in the last row.

             I thanked her after closing the door behind me and took my seat. Fortunately it was a guy who was sitting next to me. I am not used to intermingling with girls because previously I went to a boys school. This is the first time in my life I am studying with girls in the same classroom.

           The teacher was seated in a chair along with a desk in front of her. She was looking like she was in her late twenties.

         I sat quietly and spoke nothing when the teacher called out to me and asked my name. I stood from my seat and introduced myself "Um.. I am Salman" Since I was at the last row all the heads had to turn behind to look at me. There were only few girls in this class, the guys were more in number. The girls were seated in the front row in the other corner of the class. They didn't even bother to turn behind and look at me, they seemed to be nerds.

             Behind the girls there were a few guys, they too seemed like busy in their own worlds talking to each other not bothering what's happening in class.

             It's just the guys who were seated near by me who turned around to look at me. Fear stroke me if I would be isolated and if I wouldn't have any friends.

             This is when I observed the classroom, cutting off my thoughts the teacher replied "Great Salman!" Which made me turn my attention on her again "I am your Science teacher Miss Rozani, and I am in-charge of your class too.." she paused, and continued "If you have any problem you can come and speak to me... I am always there to help you son.."

           Her kind little words calmed me and I was at ease. I thanked her and sat as she gestured me to do so.

          After a few random conversations I heard a bell ring as the teach- Miss Rozani stood up to leave. All the students stood up and greeted her "good morning miss" she closed the door behind her after replying "good morning children"

          Not even 5 minutes passed by, the guys who were seated in front of me and the guys who were seated in my row came and stood around my desk. I never expected them to. I was kind of shocked.

         I heard a guy saying "hey" I stood up replying "hi"

"What's his name? I forgot.."

No one remembered. So I told "Salman"

"Welcome to our class Salman"

"Nice to meet you"

Were some conversations which took place. They seemed to be cool guys. I honestly liked them. They were very friendly. They looked like they were a group of best friends.

They started introducing themselves to me.

"I am Omar, 'the king of our gang'..." winked Omar.

All the others coughed dryly in unison and bursted out laughing.

"Omit the last sentence he just stated.." told a voice.

"Anyways he tries to be our boss" told one whole rolling his eyes, to which Omar turned and gave a shot to the shoulder playfully.

"I am Edgar.."

"He's our clown" told another.

"I am Harry.."

"The nerd" told everyone together. Harry looked down out of embarrassment. I learnt that although in reality he was a nerd he didn't like him being called so.

"I am Kaym.."

"Oh god! Kaym is like the assistant of Omar. He does only what Omar says. He never takes our opinion into consideration". Stated one while receiving shots from Kaym which made everyone else laugh.

"I am Freddy.. mostly called as Fred. I prefer people calling me Fred.."

"He's our silent killer.."

Fred replied shyly "No! am not.. I do talk right?"

"Yeah yeah... you talk.. but... most of the time your silent self is revealed, your naughtiness is hidden inside you which comes out when necessary..lol"

We had a few more conversations, lame ones, funny ones and so on.

There was a knock on the door and the door opened. A tall thin lady with a long plaited hair entered carrying some books in her hand.

All the students went back to their places, greeted and sat down. The teacher replied and sat.

"Take out your English books children"

We took our books.

Observing the class she said "Who is absent toda-... I see a new face.. who is that?

"He's a newcomer Miss"

"Wow great! What's your name darling?"

I stood as I replied "I am Salman, Miss"

"What?" She didn't hear me, She looked like she was in her late 50's.

I repeated louder. This time she heard me, with no more longer conversations she started the lesson.

It went good. She was a nice, kind teacher.

After the bell rang another teacher entered as this teacher left.

That was our Languages period. We had to choose between two main languages which is taught in Sri Lanka.

We had to choose between Sinhala and Tamil. A very few students had chosen Tamil Language. This whole clique had chosen Sinhala.

It was up to me to choose if I would study Tamil or Sinhala. Anyway I didn't know anything in Tamil except that I could speak. But Sinhala, from my childhood I've been learning it. It would be easier for me and most of my friends have also chosen it.

My choice was Sinhala. I was seated in class with the other Sinhala students. The Tamil students went to the Tamil room to study Tamil.

The Sinhala teacher was looking very strict and rude. She didn't speak much to me except that she asked my name.

The lesson was ok, as she left when the bell rang, the Tamil students  came inside.

My friends told that it was the break now..
