'The day which I couldn't forget, the thought of it still makes me smile'

A whole two weeks pass as classes has begun as usual. I am promoted to 11th grade and have chosen humanities, although I like science more.

'I still regret choosing Humanities.' The thought still speaks in my mind whenever I am alone with my notebooks and pencils.

Anyways, here I am sitting with my open Economics book which is full of theory, theory, theory and THEORY of Economic HISTORY of our dear INDIA. I wanted to study today because the boys are out for their medical checkup and Sutapa mam is just sitting there doing what teachers do.

However, it is quite an impressive thing to say that mam's presence in the class is enough to shut up 91 students into pin drop silence. But, since most of the hounds are out of the classroom, everything is almost silent like night in dark woods,

EXCEPT,

"AAAAAAAAA!!!! SERIOUSLY-"

BESIDE ME,

which only results in hindering my focus on this damn economic history. I was trying my extreme hard to concentrate but because of the so-called discussion going on my right side, I haven't understood the simple difference between capitalist and socialist economy eventhough I have read it three-three times.

"Twilight!!!!!! I love the book!!!! Really!!!! Kyaaaa!!"

Abhipsa squeaks again. They are trying to keep their fangirling down, but I don't think that is helping at all. All I am getting weird stares from every corner of the room, which I decided to ignore for today.

"You know, the book is much better!!!! Uuummmaaa!!!!" This one is from Baydahi, who is my current seatmate.

"Aaaaaaa!!!!" I flinch again when Abhipsa shouts.

Somehow, they are having a 'discussion' over 'Twilight' which I assume is a series of books and the romantic type, which I usually don't like. I look around myself only to conclude that I am surrounded by many of the girls who are eagerly participating in their group discussion.

'I didn't know Twilight is this famous...'

As I observe my two classmates, fangirling over 'Twilight', I notice Nabamita heading over here.

'Oh god, another one...'

"Hi~ What's happening?"

"Nothing much, we were discussing over Twilight..hihi-"

"Omg, really??? I love it too!!!"

Somewhere in my mind, I kept thinking 'why I am actually here to begin with'.

I observe them talking about the characters, and going all 'AAAAA' and 'KYAAA' over it. But most significant thing is that the girl who is sitting in front of me totally change her image of what I have thought in my mind these years.

Yes, the girl I am talking about is Abhipsa. Earlier, in my mind, her image was like a sedate girl who is totally focused on studying and getting high grades in exams. Well, most of the teachers' children are like that....'serious about studies'. But, now,

it took a ninety degree turn of what I have imagined.

"Ey, 10 CGPA!! Why are you so quiet today? Oh~ you're studying~~as expected of the genius..."

I want to reply back with a good jab, but didn't do that because she is nice....well, she is quite nice & different from my other friends with whom I've studied till 10th.

Without speaking anything, I just closed the book with a slam. 'I've studied enough today, I'll go see it at home.'

The three of them look at me with raised eyebrows while I hear Baydahi comment "I knew it, you wouldn't study anymore."

'IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU ALL!!!' I shout in my head and the feeling of irritatedness came up on my face. Baydahi just ignore that on purpose.

"10 CGPA~" My seatmate teases. 'Please, can someone tell me what wrong have I done by obtaining 10 CGPA??? '

"Baydahi, I don't want another Rana sir as my seatmate, you get it? I don't want it, absolutely not." I tell her two times as a sign of warning.

"Hahahaha" Abhipsa laughs.

"Arrrey, ok ok, fine...kukuku" She laughs on purpose to make me more angry. And I promise I won't get stupidly angry over it.

"Anyways, you can talk about what you were talking earlier." I change the topic, otherwise if this keeps going on, I'd have to blast them away.

"What? Twilight?"

"Yea, something like that..." I speak not giving any interest in the book.

".......wait, don't tell me you don't know about T-W-I-L-I-G-H-T????"

'Should I just agree to her?'

I lick my lips, take a deep breath and begin, "Ah....you know, it's not like that I haven't heard about 'Twilight'. I have heard, I have heard."

'Wow, what a great liar you are.' I comment on myself with satire. Well, I have only seen a fanart when I going through Google+ and the top of the picture it was written 'Twilight', so you see it's not that I am totally unaware of it. Hah!

They look at me with a expression that says 'I-don't-believe-you'.

"Well, I am more of a Manga and Anime fan, what you call an Otaku, rather than Twilight."

"Forget her, her whole life is Anime." Baydahi says.

"Yah! Anime are much better than this reality... Obviously, better than your book Twilight. Ha Ha Ha." Although I only know the name of the book and still can't say how much good it is, but since she is insulting me and my anime, I can't keep quiet.

Feeling a pair of eyes staring at me, I turn towards Abhipsa, "Did you just say....Anime?"

"Yea...Wait, DO YOU WATCH ANIME!?!" A small flame of interest ignites in me. 'Wow, that'd be great. I'll find my first friend in Class XI who actually watches anime!!!!!'

"Uh, not really though. I just started watching from May '17. I don't know much about it." Her smile was sheepish.

"Oh" was all that comes out from my mouth.

She continues, "But, I love kdramas more than Anim-"

Baydahi cuts her off, "LIKE DESCENDANTS OF THE SUN???"

"Yaaaaaa! Omg!!! You watch kdramas too!!! Aaaaaaa!!!!"

"Seriously, you guys watched it too??!!" Nabamita asks them with excitement.

I am so much into analyzing what she said just now that I don't notice that they start squealing again, but this time it is over 'Descendants of-' something, what they refer as a kdrama.

Suddenly, an idea pops on my head.

I take Abhipsa's name and she turns with a huge grin sticking on her face.

"....ah, you said kdramas, right?"

"Yea? Why?" She becomes confused.

"........you.....heard about......K-Pop...?" Hesitation overflowing in my voice, I ask her.

.

Her face lightens up like 100 watt light. And I can feel she is totally surprised with my question. Her mouth widens and she slowly yet tightly covers her mouth with her both palms.

Seeing her expression, my mouth formed a huge- huge grin and everyone can tell I was crazily smiling.

"Abhipsa, you know A.R.M.Y??" I ask unable to hide my overloading felicity.

Her eyes widen and she grabs her handkerchief from our table to cover her mouth.

"BTS!!!!!!!!!!!" She immediately replies.
.

.

.

.

.

"Ohmigod, you too!?????!!!"

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" We scream, regardless of Sutapa mam still sitting in the classroom.

She coldly glares towards our benches.

'I'm sorry I am sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I am sorry I am sorry I am sorry.'

Eventhough she didn't make us stand up or scold us and went on doing her own work but, everyone stared at us, especially me and Abhipsa like we've seen a spirit or something.

I don't have any time to feel awkward because of the stares, I have found my first co-ARMY friend. I am in such a bliss that I can seriously jump off a cliff right now. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

We glance at each other and both of us are covering our mouth preventing to esape any other squeal. After a few seconds, we remove our hands.

"Ok, ok, calm down..." She gestures.

'How can I just calm down!?!!!!!!'

No words come out from my mouth. A series of emotions are whirling inside me, from shock to surprise, from happiness to astonishment, everything. I am so happy that I want to jump all over the world.

'Can you believe it? I found my fellow A.R.M.Y!!!! I have thought that again I have to spend my whole life without a friend with whom I can share my feelings and experiences, just like when it happened with Anime. I had no one who would understand my love for Anime!!! It was so frustrating. Finally, Finally, I found her!!!! Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!'

And my happiness know no bounds. It is like I have two big wings and can fly at any moment. Baydahi and Nabamita look at us strangely. We are gasping hard and with each passing second we are becoming more crazy!!!!!

Finally I start, "Abhipsa, so you....an official ARMY?" I am trying to keep my voice alongwith my excitement down but, but that only is resulting me to hop on my bench. I am literally sitting and hopping on my bench at the same time.

"OF COURSE! I AM!" And again we get glares from around the room. Bidisha is also looking at us and she mouths 'What is actually happening there?'. I bit my lip and waved a 'Nothing' at her.

"Aaaaaa!!!" We squeal together again, but in a whisper.

"Omg! Omg! Omg! Omg! Omg! Omg! Omg! Omg! Omg!" I chant continuously.

We are both fanning ourselves. I am sooooooooo GLAD. I feel my body heat rising as I keep squeaking out of the blue.

"Anyways, ABHIPSA!!!!" I slam my hand on my desk, which caused Baydahi, Nabamita and her to squinch on the sound. I don't care about others! Just ignore others' stare.

"Ya???"

"TELL ME, WHOISYOURBIAS? WHOIS YOURBIASWRECKER?" I spill it out in one breath. The other two girls obviously got confused and Baydahi murmers, "What's that?"

Neither out of us pay attention to her question and my co- A.R.M.Y answers,

"Well~ My bias is.... ..Jung....Jungkook!! Aaaaa!!" 'Omg omg omg omg!!!'

I see her flushing while she takes his name. 'Iyaaaaaaaaa!!!!! She is flushing!! Oh gawd!!'

"Andwhoisthewrecker!!!?!?"

"It's Sugaaaaaa!!!!"

"Waaaa!!!" We jointly yell.

'My god! She has the same biaswrecker as me!!!!!!'

"Seriously, SUGA BIASWRECKS EVERYYYYYONE!!!!" I whined loudly.

"Kyaa!!!!"

"Anywayswhoisyourbias!?!?" She questions.

"Oh gosh, that's a tough question. I like every one of them. It's hard to choose a bias."

"Oh~~ you are hiding...ummaa!!!"

"Shut up! I am not sure, but I quite admire one of them"

"Who's that!!?!"

"Whyareyousocurious??" I whisper a yell.

"JUST TELL MEEEE!!!"

"OH god!! Fine! I quite admire him. It doesn't exactly the same as having him as my bias. I can't call him as my bias right now..."

I look at her and she says, "OKAY OKAY!! I UNDERSTAND, just tell me the name!!"

"It's....actually...uh-"

I observe her carefully. Abhipsa looks like she's going to win three dollars if I tell her his name.

I showed her a ✌, while looking at the other way.
.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

"Huh?............

...... AHH~HAA!!!! So, he i-"

"Don't take his name here!" I interrupt her sentence.

On the other hand, the two girls who were sitting silently raise their eyebrows at me and,

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, tell us tell us~~~"

"What? No!! You don't have any interest in them, na? So you don't need to know, shoo- shoo- "

"It's Bwiiii (V)!!!!!" Abhipsa showed a teasing smile.

'WTH!?'

"What?? Abhipsa, you!! You betrayed me."

"Did we make a promise?"

'No, but it isn't fine, but she's right too!!! Haaaaaaa!!!!!!'

I frowned.

At the same time, we hear the bell ringing and- no, it's ECONOMICS now. I haven't studied a bit........ but.............

........ I found a new friend, an ARMY. That's quite better and.......... unexpected too.

I take out my Economics notebook and my pencil box.

"I can't even think of you liking something other than ANIME" My Seatmate spoke as she moves aside so I can go to find our Economics classroom.

"Me too, I was also amazed when my whole personality changed. I didn't know I will start screaming out of nowhere."

"LOL!!"

"Hahaha. See ya later." I tell her and come out of our XI-D.

'Who would have thought Rana sir's daughter is an ARMY? That's wonderful in a strange way though.'

I take a turn near the staffroom.

'Maybe more interesting things are still waiting for me.' A smile forms on my face when I think about that.

While I walk forward, I see Abhipsa jumping and waving her hand at me to come there.

I chuckle at her childish behaviour and ran to her.

'She surely is a jewel who made me change my mind.'

'Now, I certainly don't regret choosing Humanities.'

(A/N time)

To, Nihyun-chan,

So, here you are with my story 'A Jewel'. Thank you so much, Abhipsa. @NamNihyun You truly are a precious friend of mine. I didn't think I will have such great memories of class XI. But when I met you, the first thing I thought that you are the one I'm looking for. I dedicate this story to you and you only. Although, I don't exactly remember the actual conversation, but I've tried to put it into the story. I can never, sorry, I can't even think of forgetting this day ever. I seriously became a happy camper when I got to know you love BTS!!! The moments of our fangirling over them, sitting at last bench and singing 'I NEED U' and 'Not Today'. The day when we went to the Social Science exhibition, I literally facepalmed myself when I saw you talking about Kpop while explaining about the files, but still I was smiling like crazy inside. And when we sang Not Today together, oh god!! I still remember it was totally out of sync. Everyone stared us like we are total maniacs. I like the Japanese version more and you like the Korean version. But I assure you I am learning Korean day by day to catch up with you. Anyways, thank u a lot for always being with me. It's a wonder that we didn't knew each other till XI but when we became friends I found you so similar to me. Our problems, our thoughts, our likes and dislikes are so same. It was a feeling that I know you since you came here. To be honest, I even asked god why aren't we twin sisters. Hehe~😂

Thank you a lot for becoming my friend. I Jhope that we can meet BTS one day. I wish that Jhope's aura shines on us and makes our one and only dream to come true. And one last but not the least thing, don't keep your problems to yourself...always remember that you've Rawka, Your billa, Simmy, Bidissssa, Kankta, Nali and me with you...we are always here to listen and you can rant anything to us....because when you keep things to yourself, I get worried more and my mood becomes bad....🙁. To sum up, I wanted to write a 'thank you' but ended up writing a whole essay. Hope you don't mind this. 'DNA!!!!' 'GO GO!!!' Let's learn the dance together sometime.

💐THaNK you!!!!💐

Yours,
Otaku-chan
