first day outside the class

That was my 1^st day in 6^th standard.I was in a happy mood for meeting friends after a 2 months gap.I was wearing a new frock which my big mummy bought from usa,a black coloured with a small white design throughout , with a wide neck and 2 knots on both side of the frock to tighten the dress.When we met,we talked about the letter which meera posted us during the vacation time.She posted the letter to me,keerthy and remya.That was the 1st personal letter we were receiving  so were in an exciting mood to discuss about that letter.During that conversation meera asked me ‘where did you buy the dress?’.I told her about the 2 trolly full of dresses that  big mummy bought fo me.She was wondering and told in general-‘God always gives new dresses to those who have many and not giving to me like poor people.I felt a little uneasy and i prayed him in mind’God please don’t listen to her,give me again’.

We were standing outside.We saw a teacher coming targetting to our class.The last bell to enter the class rang.We entered quickly and i seated at the 1^st side bench.Keerthy was sitting next to me.Meera got into the 2^nd last bench with remya.We didn’t get the time to arrange the space to sit together.The teacher entered the class-‘Good morning teacher’ the whole class wished her.The bell rang for prayer.After the prayer she took the attendance and we were told to keep quiet.Then she started talking about the curriculum we were going to cover that year.She introduced herself as our new malayalam teacher.She was good looking,fair with long hair.Her voice was too noticable that it was so blared.I saw a dark line at the middle of her nose like a boundary line that seperates the wider and thinner part.While i was thinking about how that line formed at the middle of her nose,i noticed her left eye blinking.I told this to keerthy.We together started staring to her eyes.When she walked towards the side bench facing us,we saw her left eye closing while her right eye was looking us.That was the symbol of love for school students.We laughed hiding our mouth portion.The teacher saw us laughing even we covered our mouth portion with hands.she told us to stop laughing.That teacher didn’t like me.She looked at me each time with a dissatisfaction.She might have understood that we were whispering about her.She got seated , asked the class to keep silent and she enterd into some work.I tried to imitate her voice with a purposeful left eye blink.Friends seated near to me laughed ,a sort of satisfaction was there on my face that everybody liked my performance.Teacher looked at our area from where the disturbance was occuring.Without thinking much she told me to stand facing the whole class.Everyone stopped laughing.I got out from my bench and stood infront of the class.Teacher commented on me”Did your parents drop you here due to your disturbance at home?”.Hmm i stood silently.I looked at meera’s bench since i heard a sound from that side.I saw meera’s effort to stop her laughing.She filled her mouth with her handkerchief to control her laugh not to be heard by the teacher while looking at me.Meera liked teacher’s comment on me.A sudden smile came to my face while seeing this.I bent my head.Teacher saw me smiling again.She stared at me from bottom to top and commented’sheesh what a dress’in a funny tone.A loud laugh heard in the class then.That was meera.She lost her control.Her handkerchief jumped out from her mouth,a non stop laughter.Even she was caught she continued laughing as if she was out of control without listening to teacher or the surroundings.Teacher told her to stand outside the class.While standing outside she looked at me,we both passed eachother a soundless laugh with love.
