The bus turned through the wide gate of Starlight Senior Secondary School, tyres crunching over gravel. Tall gulmohar trees threw dappled sunlight across the pale-yellow building ahead. The buzz of children's chatter rose higher as the bus slowed into the parking bay.

With a hiss of brakes the bus stopped. The conductor swung open the door and students spilled out, filing toward the school building. Some walked in twos and threes, chattering excitedly; a few teachers stood at the entrance, smiling as they greeted the arrivals.

Little kids clutched their parents' hands - some crying, some bouncing with excitement.

"Finally..." Vani stretched, adjusting the strap of her bag.

"Lagta hai sab abhi abhi aaye hain," Sachi said, watching the stream of uniforms head for their classes.

"Chal Sachu, chalte hain apne Class 12-A mein." Vani tugged her by the arm.

They entered the building, nodding good morning to the teachers at the doorway. The big corridor smelt faintly of chalk and floor polish. They took the left turn and started up the narrow stairs.

At the top, the door marked Class 12-A stood open. Inside, ceiling fans whirred lazily above a room already half-full of students. Krish sat on the third bench near the window, elbows on the desk, head bent over a book. A stray lock of hair fell into his eyes, making him look even quieter.

"Lo ji... hamara Mr. Serious waha hai.." Vani whispered dramatically to Sachi.

Sachi grinned, slinging her bag off her shoulder. They dropped their bags on their usual first-row bench and walked straight to Krish.

"Gooddd morninggg Krishhh!!" Vani sang like a jingle.

Krish looked up, a small smile tugging at his lips..."Good morning, Drama Queen... good morning, Sachi. Kaise ho tum dono?"

"Main to ekdam thik hoon.. kal hi to baat ki thi hamne," Vani replied in full drama.

Krish and Sachi both laughed at her antics.

"Areyy yeh hasna chhodo.." Vani leaned closer, eyes sparkling. "Krish. aaj kya hua pata hai bus mein.." She tried to control her laugh.

"Haa pata hai na.. Main to mohalle ki CCTV aunty jo hoon.." Krish said sarcastically.

Sachi snorted and started laughing covering her mouth. "Yeh achha tha Krish.."

Vani rolled her eyes dramatically. "Areyy sun to ek baar.. full filmy scene tha.."

Krish raised his eyebrows," Achha, Bata ab meri favourite gossip aunty.."

"Haa to.. ham bus mein the tab ek tall ladka aisle mein khada tha to maine thoda sa Sachi ko push kiya......thoda sa hh......pr iska dhakka usko laga phir vo ladka jaake gir gaya dusre ladke ki god mein sidha.." Vani said while between her laugh.

Krish raised his eyebrows, leaned forward and asked " matlab sidha landing god mein hui?"

"Haann.. Bhaiii itna funny scene tha na.." Sachi said laughing.

" Haann.." Vani said slapping Krish's arms playfully, " aur vo dusra ladka, usne uss ladke ko kamar se pakad liya.. pehle sab shant ho gaye phirr sab eksath 'oooooo' karke itna jor se hasane lage..."

Sachi buried her face in her hands, "Bas kar VeeBee..."

Saying this Vani and Sachi, both laughed hard while everyone in the class looked at them as if they saw some Chudails laughing..

" Aree Bass karo sab dekh rahe hai.." Krish whispered them but they were still laughing. Now Krish also joined them laughing openly.

"Bhaii wahh, aaj to tum dono se comedy circus hi khol diya bus mein.. School ka first day aur aisi shuruwat.. Sahi hai... " Krish said laughing.

"Haan.. main to vaha hass hass ke mar gayi thi yarr.. " Vani said controlling her laugh.

Sachi peeked through her fingers. "Aur vo tall wala ladka mujhe aise ghoor raha tha jaise maine uski izzat loot li ho.."

" Tum dono ki vajah se ab apni class TRP badh jaayegi lagta hai... " Krish said between his laugh.

Just then Sachi saw Kasturi entering the classroom, She called her

"Areyy, Kasturi..."

"Aree aa yaar!" Vani patted the bench next to them. "Idhr baith"

Kasturi came over, putting her bag down.

"Kya ho raha hai tum logo ko ? itna hass kyu rahe ho?" Kasturi asked them.

Vani leaned in, voice dropping into a mock-conspiratorial whisper. "Tere boyfriend ki breaking news hai.."

" Kya?" Kasturi blinked

Sachi tried to keep a straight face. "Madam, aaj se Rishi hamari bus mein aa raha hai. Subah hi dekha humne."

" Haan, bataya tha usne mujhe, usne aur uske dost ne pehle wali bus chord di isiliye tumhari bus mein aa rhe hai.. " Kasturi said, Vani nudged her

" Haan haan, tujhe to pata hi hoga... uski girlfriend jo hai.." Vani said teasingly, Kasturi's cheeks turned pink.

"Aaj pehle din hi entry mar di. Full hero style. Aur bonus mein humare bus ka action scene bhi dekh liya usne." Sachi said as if she was directing some action movies.

Vani started narrating the scene to Kasturi, as the narration finished, Kasturi also started laughing, Vani wiped her tears which came due to laughing.

"Ab to tum logo ka bus ride aur bhi entertaining hoga." Krish said with a smirk.

Sachi and Vani high-five.

" Haan " Vania nd Sachi said collectively.

" Vaise , Krish tum yeh kya padh rahe ho?" Kasturi asked

"Areyy vo Welcome speech deni hai to likh kar laya hoon bass vahi yaad kar raha tha.." Krish said.

Meanwhile in Class 12-B

The ceiling fan in Class 12-B squeaked lazily as boys slung their bags on benches. Devesh dropped his bag with a thud and fell on his seat, running a hand through his messy hair.

"Bhaii... pehla din aur itna drama," he muttered.

"Drama nahi, poora comedy show ho gaya bus mein" Rishi slid next to him, still laughing.

"Mere sath hi kyu hua bhaii.. Main seedha khada tha, woh ladki se dhakka mara.. aur main uss ladke ke god mein jaake gira.." Devesh rolled his eyes

"Bhaii.. tu uske god mein dulhan ki tarah baitha tha. Mujhe laga ab koi band baaja bhi bajaega aur gaana bhi gaayega 'Dulhe ka Sehra Suhana lagta hai'... " Rishi started cackling.

"Chup kar yaar!" Devesh threw his notebook at him. "Sab hass rahe the, mujhe laga abhi meme banayenge bus mein."

Rishi wiped a fake tear, still grinning. "Aur woh dono ladkiya... apni seat par baith ke hass rahi thi jaise Kapil Sharma Show dekh rahi ho."

Devesh snorted. "Haan.. ek vo to ladki jiska mujhe dhakka laga.. sorry bolte bolte bhi hass rahi thi.."

Rishi leaned in, lowering his voice. "Haann.. vaise tune notice Kiya ki vo dono Class 12-A ki lagti hai.."

Devesh shrugged. " Haan bataya to tha bus mein maine.. "

"Haa.. school ka saal lamba hota hai.. kabhi na kabhi to milenge na.." Rishi said with smirk.

"Haan.. sahi kaha.. Kabhi na kabhi to milenge.. Yeh to bass trailer tha picture abhi baaki hai mere dost" Devesh said keeping his hand on Rishi's shoulder.

"Ohoo dialogue-baazi shuru hh.." Rishi said slapping his shoulder playfully.

" Kuch bhi bol par maja bohot aya bus mein, mast comedy show free mein dekh liya." Rishi said with a smirk.

"Haan , par ab maja tab aayega jab agli baar main tujhe kisi aur ke god mein gira dunga, vo bhi sabke samne." Devesh glares at him.

They both burst out laughing, the teacher walking in just as Devesh mimed pushing Rishi off his bench.

"Heyy you, itne bade ho gaye vo.. phir bhi seriousness nahi hai tum'me" The teacher scolded them just then--

The sharp clang of the bell echoed through the corridor. Students started pouring out of their classrooms like a colourful river of uniforms.

"Chal chalte hain assembly ground pe" Vani tugged Sachi's arm, still giggling about the bus incident.

"Tum dono ka comedy show baad mein.. ab principal mama ki speech sunni hai." Krish said shaking his head.

"Haan haan, chalo." Sachi rolled her eyes but smiled

The three of them, with Kasturi trailing behind, moved with the crowd down the stairs. Sunlight streamed through the big windows; the scent of wet earth from the morning watering clung to the air.

Outside, the shaded assembly ground of Starlight Senior Secondary stretched under a huge neem tree canopy. The cemented stage stood at one end, the national flag fluttering lightly above it. Teachers stood along the edges, ushering students into straight lines.

"Aree kitna bada crowd hai " Kasturi muttered.

"Areyy aaj first day hai na isiliye sab aaaye hai.." Sachi whispered who stood behind her

They joined the line marked for Class 12-A. Boys and girls stood beside each other maintaining her respectful distance , trying to keep straight faces. Someone at the back whispered a joke and a ripple of muffled laughter went through the row.

On the stage the principal adjusted the mic."Good morning, students!"

"Good morning mam!!" The kids wished her back

Sachi glanced sideways at Vani who stood behind her and whispered, "Aaj lagta hai speeches lambi chalegi.."

"Chord na Sachu, at least hum ek saath gossip kar sakte hain." Vani smirked

"Chup kar, agar kisi teacher ne dekh liya na to pehle hi din punishment mil jaayegi.." Sachi said and gave her glare.

Soon the assembly started with morning thought, Pledge, current affairs and then came The national anthem. Everyone stood straighter, eyes on the flag. A breeze rustled through the neem leaves above, making the little tricolour flutter.

For a moment the whole ground went quiet except for the anthem - hundreds of voices blending together. Sachi felt a strange warmth in her chest; her first day of last year , and last assembly at school.

As the anthem ended, the principal launched into his welcome speech. Sachi zoned out halfway, sneaking glances at her friends and the other classes. Across the ground, she caught sight of Rishi and Devesh in the 12-B line. They were whispering and grinning about something.

"Dekha" she murmured to Vani. "Wo dono bhi idhar hai."

Vani's eyes flicked over, mischief lighting them again. "Haan.. aaj ke baad hamari bus aur bhi interesting ho jaayegi."

"Now, we'll hear few words from our Class 12 student representative, Krish Malhotra." A student announced as soon as principal mam finished her speech.

A ripple of whispers went through the senior lines.

Areyy Krish ki speech!" Vani whispered, eyes sparkling.

"Challenge dekhte hai hamara Mr. Serious stage pe speech kaise deta hai.." Sachi smiled.

Krish straightened his tie, and walked up the small steps to the stage. For a moment he adjusted the mic, his eyes scanning the sea of uniforms.

"Good Morning everyone," he began, voice steady.

A soft "Good morning" echoed back.

He smiled faintly. "Sabko lagta hoga ki main ab koi badi-badi baatein karunga... par main bhi aap logon ki tarah ek student hoon. Bas itna hi kehna hai ki hum sab ke liye yeh saal khaas hai - last year hai school ka. Is saal hum exams bhi denge, farewell bhi celebrate karenge, aur shayad sabse important, yahan ke chhote-chhote moments yaad rakhenge."

He paused, looking at the rows of juniors.

"Jo naye students hain, welcome. Yeh school sirf padhai nahi sikhata, dost banana, time manage karna, aur thoda thoda masti karna bhi sikhata hai."

A few muffled chuckles from the crowd.

"Bas, yeh hi kehna tha: apne teachers ka respect karo, apne dost ko support karo. Jab hum sab milke kaam karenge, tab yeh saal hum sabke liye memorable banega."

Krish nodded politely, stepped back from the mic and came down the stairs. The teachers clapped first, then the students joined in.

Vani was grinning when he returned to their line. "Areyy wahh!! Hamare Krish babu ne to full Hero entry maar di."

Sachi laughed softly. "Bohot achha bola, Krish"

Krish shrugged, trying to look casual, but a small proud smile crept onto his face. "Bas normal hi tha.... ab chup raho varna principal mam sun lengi."

The crowd of students slowly spilled out of the assembly ground, heading back into the yellow-painted building. Sunlight slanted through the neem trees, making dappled patterns on the corridor floor.

Vani, Sachi, Krish and Kasturi walked back together, still buzzing from the morning.

"Bass ho gaya aaj ka pravachan," Vani whispered dramatically.

"Chup reh VeeBee... Teachers sun lenge." Sachi laughed.

Krish just shook his head, but there was a hint of a smile on his face.

Across the hall they saw Devesh and Rishi heading towards Class 12-B, laughing about something. Kasturi glanced at them and quickly looked away, her cheeks turning pink again. Vani raised her eyebrows at Sachi, who smirked back.

Back in their classroom the fans spun lazily, stirring the warm air. The timetable for the day glimmered on the board in blue marker. Bags thumped onto benches as students settled down for the first period.

For a moment Sachi paused at the doorway, looking at her friends - Vani still chattering, Krish lost in thought by the window, Kasturi fiddling with her notebook. It hit her that this was their last first day of school together.

She smiled to herself, a small flutter of excitement and nostalgia mixing in her chest.

Kal se sab kuch normal ho jaayega shayad.. par aaj ka yeh din hamesha yaad rahega., she thought.

Outside, the bell rang for the first period. The Biology teacher's footsteps echoed closer down the corridor. The chatter in the room faded into a low hum.

And with that, the first morning of Class 12 had truly begun..
