Music recommendations : don't blame me by Taylor Swift.

Next morning. I woke up from harsh knocks on my room's door.i opened the door and excited naina stepped in. From where does she borrow this much excitement at this time ?

" What are you wearing?" She asked, excited.

" What am I wearing ?" I dramatically thought." Will clothes be okay or I should try leaves ?" I asked. She pursed her lips at my bluntness.

" Don't you know what's today ?" She asked sounding obvious. My eyebrows furrowed as I tried to gather data In my almond sized brain.

" Today is skirties. " She answered when I didn't.

" Shit." I muttered and she tilted her head thinking how I forgot about it. Skirties is the day in a month when everyone has to wear a skirt and has to dress super cute and those who don't follow this rule are bullied. Seniors made this useless rule. In my first month, I didn't know it and I almost got bullied by them.

" What are you wearing ? " I asked naina, opening my wardrobe.

" Black top and a white knee length formal skirt. " She said, dreaming about how she will look.

" Naina." She was my bestfriend and hiding a thing like this is not right. It was feeling heavy carrying all this alone.

" Hmm. " She said without looking at me. " Aaru, you can tell." Her tone suddenly assuring and soft. I told her everything about what happened with nishit.

" Woaahh !! aaru !! You catched the goldfish. " She exclaimed, clapping.

" Shut up !! He is just bullying me, nothing else."

" I've never seen a bully gifting his victim a kidney prized smartphone." She said in a duh tone. " Oh my god !We have to dress you super cute for the tutoring session." She said pushing me to the side. She ruffled in my wardrobe for few minutes. I refused sone outfits. She would make me wear swimsuit if she could.

After like 15 minutes, she chose a blue denim straight skirt with a white full sleeved knitted v neck top.

" No, naina !! "

" Hell yeahh." She said, her voice finalising the decision.

After taking a bath. I steeped into my clothes. I adjusted my skirt to make it a little longer. I did my hair half up. I didn't do any makeup, outfit was already enough. I just applied lip and cheek tint and left with my bag. I knocked on naina's door and she stepped out in a black top and a white knee skirt. She let her light brown staright hair down.

" Naina, come inside quick. " I stepped in and she followed me. She took a thin necklace with a black butterfly pendant matching hers . She put it around my neck and we both looked at the mirror. " You're phenomenal." She said and we smiled. After locking it, we both started walking in corridor.

Girls were in cute skirts, some were high enough to show their hips if they bend. Some were taking pictures or we can say most of them were. All girls were in heavy makeup. We stepped in lunchroom.

I yawned, leaning on the chair putting both my hands behind my head. Three of the boys were busy with some girls. Girls approached me also but they disgust me. Their short skirts, heavy makeup screaming pick me please. I don't think so, she will wear one. But I would have liked her seeing in one.

I was about to leave the lunchroom when a girl came in my sight. Adjusting her blue denim skirt, ruffling her hairs, smiling. My jaw automatically fell seeing her in this attire. Wow ! My nerdy looking hostage is not so boring. She looked at me for a brief second when she brushed past my shoulder. I sat on my chair back and she sat infront of our table.

After few seconds, her useless half boyfriend joined her on the table. He looked at her and muttered something which I assume is a compliment. She blushed. Why is she blushing ? At his words ?

He started taking her pictures and she posed. Heyy, Mr. ? Did you ask me before doing that ? Three of them stood up and naina passed phone to a a random boy to take the picture of three of them together. After few minutes, naina started taking pictures of them. Ahaan put his hand on her waist. My teeth gritted. That was it. I stood up.

Sound of Chair creaking made everyone look at me. I walked to her, everyone's eyes on me while mine fixed on her. I pushed ahaan to the side and put my hand on her shoulder. Everyone gasped including Her. I raised my eyebrows signalling naina to click one. She clicked and I left the lunchroom.

What did he just do ?? I wasn't even taking a glance at him so girls dont bully me and he did this ? Infront of everyone ? Ahaan started to follow him, maybe to fight but I stopped him. I didn't want anymore issues. I looked at the people who were already looking at me. Girls were gossiping or maybe they were making a plan of my murder. Most of the people were giving me harsh looks. Tears started to weld up in my eyes. Naina grabbed my hand but I refused and left for bathroom.

Girls in the bathroom immediately recognised me. A group of senior girls formed a circle around me. Oh my god ! Not here also.

" So, what do you think you were doing ? " A girl spoke. I couldn't say anything. My breaths became heavy and I felt sick.

" Why he came to take a photo with you ? He refused us."

" May-be he is-- just bull-ying me ." My voice weak and nervous. Aahhh!! This past trauma.

" Let us show you what bullying is." One girl tried to grab me but I escaped from the gap and ran as fast as I could.

I was running. My eyes were blurry because of the tears, my breaths heavy and I was looking back.

" Aah ! " A gasp left my lips as I collided with a firm body.
