THE GIRL OF DREAMS
CHAPTER 3: The smaller chapter - Kindergarten
Another year
passes by and now daddy thinks it’s time his girl gets out of the house and
explores another world. They send her to kindergarten. Mommy is secretly happy
about the free time she will now get ;). Well, you can’t blame mommy, the girl
really tired her out. Oh, and the girl, she is confused again. She is excited
about going to school because she has grown up listening to phrases like “When
you go to school sweetie, I will buy you the new bag”, and “You can use this
water bottle when you go to school”. From the past one year, almost every
sentence she heard began with “When you go to school…”. Now, she is determined to
figure out what this school is after all, but somewhere, there is also fear
attached to the excitement. She has never been away from home without mommy and
daddy. Obviously, she being the person she is, excitement defeats fear and she
lets her daddy drop her off to that colourful looking place. She enters the
classroom, there are some boys crying and she finds them dirty. Whew, she turns
to another side; some girl is pulling another girl’s hair. She doesn’t
understand what is going on. Why are the kids so weird, but she doesn’t realise
that every other kid in the room has the same question in mind (Don’t you
remember that’s how it was in kindergarten. You thought you were the best kid
around and you always went back home and complained). Suddenly, she is pushed.
She turns to see who dared to do that, and she finds this boy with a red bag
and a yellow car in his hand and he is apparently driving the car and now finds
it funny after pushing her because he thinks that it was an accident with his
tiny car. She is so irritated that she could snatch his car and stomp it onto
the ground and crush it into pieces. Of course, she doesn’t do that because
this boy is still laughing. Now, even she finds it funny. They both start
laughing loud, loud enough for her to hear the echo of the laughter even 20
years later. That’s it, they become inseparable after that. They sit together,
eat together, play together but they can’t stop fighting. Oh and the other
girls better beware, because playing with that boy could mean getting scratched
by his dear friend (We will never understand the characteristic of
possessiveness among children, but we know it exists in a very strong flavor).
One year passes by
before anyone realizes, and it’s time to change schools, she doesn't know why
mommy and daddy say that now she will go to the real school. Okay, she is just
happy as long as it is called school. She doesn't realize then that she will
miss the friend she made, because again the excitement of a new school is more
overwhelming than the boy with the yellow car and actually, the truth is that
she really has forgotten him over the summer vacations (Life was that simple
then!), but yes, he really has made an impact on her life and will remain in
some corner of heart, unseen most of the times but not unfelt.
