The mean girl

“Do I want to do something? I mean people out there are doing this and that. Achieving success and great heights what am I doing. Just fooling around, sleeping, wasting my life. “the girl was just done with procrastination today. She had so much work to do. She has to solve physics; she has to complete inorganic revisions. She had so much to do. She was preparing for JEE (Entrance exam for engineering colleges in India) and this was her drop year. I don’t know what I will do if I couldn’t clear it this time. All her friends were already in some places. Some were in IITs, some in NITs, there were at some places. And no matter what she never found the motivation to get anywhere or do anything. She just wanted to be powerful. So capable and no matter what the way she couldn’t figure out away. That perfect career opportunity.

You know that perfect career that will give her all the power in the world. Who knew what went through that girl’s head? She used to rant a lot in her diary. The diary she brought way back when she was 11. She never finishes it. Despite always writing in it. The diary always had some pages in it. And it always has had some pages in it. It didn’t even get thick. Well, the girl believed in magic and things so she never questioned or told anyone. She thought one day she would find the secret behind it and win a noble prize. If anything happened, she would write in that diary. And she would write it till she felt light. I guess once she started ranting on that diary she didn’t know how to stop. She just went on to write and write and write till there was nothing left within her to say.

 At times when she was upset and she didn’t want to write anything or felt just super alone. There had been a question in the diary. “How are you doing?” “Are you good?” “I miss you; do you want to write?” “How was your day?”. And she would just write an answer.

Life was really good like this. She was so frustrated with the government giving so many attempts for JEE. Man, It fucks up the results. Topper kids just skyrocket the cutoffs at times. And it's damn not good. So this is was just a bad day for her. The news, the classes, and the mean girls of Allen. Man all of them were so competitive. So much jealous if you get the right answer first. They would do anything to shoot you down. And then there was Shivani. She was so good. She was a friend.

OH, sorry I forgot to mention our girl's name, well her name is Avantika. So Avantika has her exams today, She was so happy that she prepared last night. She is gonna show that bitch vertika that she is better she is gonna score more this time. Ha. “ I will wipe my ass with your test score”. She had said this her last time. Not in front of her though in the group and then she left the group. Since that day and today. She and vertika were rivals. And the person who was enjoying this battle the most were Shivani and Avi’s Diary. Man, she would write the meanest of things about Vertika.

This hard jealousy between Avantika and Vertika was new and no one remembered what caused or when. But this one time, Vertika send Avantika a love letter with a boy’s name on it. And said that you have to come yesterday, in blue. If the answer is yes. Well, guess what? The entire batch that day had bets. There were many losses, many wins, but there was a lot of laughter and a lot of fuming or noses.

Avi’s Diary had specific details and notes about all these events. And while Avantika wrote all that in anger and frustration. When Shivani read them secretly she couldn’t stop laughing. Though she had to hide all this from Avantika. Otherwise “She may try to wipe her ass with mine marks too, well that would sting her a lot because I score 111 last test” She would giggle a lot discussing with other mean girls. When Avantika wasn’t around.

This was the D-Day. This was the day everything was going to be decided. This was the day asses has to be wiped. This was the day.

So the exam was going on and Vertika hissed. “ Avi. Avi .. listen na “

“ What ???” Avi looked at her furiously.

“Aaj blue hai pani pani pani pani.. Aur din bhi sunny sunny.. “. (Hindi rap song , Water is blue, and sun shining)

Avantika burned from inside. Vertika’s day was made. She was giggling too much with other people. And Avantika, well she was, she dug a hole in OMR sheet, she had to get a new one.

Well, the rest of the exams, some pens were sacrificed, some lines were cut, some equations were mocked, some laws were mutilated then the exam was over. And then. When everything was over.

Vertika came to Avantika with a puppy face “Avi, I am sorry, I won’t be able to submit, I don’t feel good about it”

Avantika thought “ Ha, water under the bridge.”

“Why, You think you will score less than me? “ Avantika said mockingly.

“NO” Vertika answered.

“Then what.”

Vertika waited for some time. And said “ This is my answer key you wanted to wipe your ass with it. Here you go. Pls do I just don’t want some poor girl to not have proper hygiene just because of some bet”

Everyone was like “ OMG”.

Avantika jumped on Vertika. Shivani stopped her, though two more people were needed. Avantika was shouting “You bitch I will kill you”

Vertika was like “Why would you kill me, toilet paper finished that’s why, or there’s a water shortage in your Area”

Three more people were needed to hold the very Angry Avantika.

Avantika came home didn’t even check the scores and wrote everything in her diary. And calmed down and slept. Shivani her roommate, as usual, read everything and laughed herself to sleep.

Next day was the results. It was there on the board. Avantika topped the class. She scored 259 marks out 360. Well, Vertika wasn’t that much far behind she scored 255.

Avantika was so much happy she was at the top of the world. She just wanted to tease and make fun of her Rival now. But Vertika was absent. From the class the next day.

“ Hide, till when you are gonna hide “ thought Avantika.

Next day too she was absent. And the next day and the next day and the next day again.

After a week Vertika came, and she was Avantika in front her with the biggest smile on her face.

“ Ya, you won. Congratulations. “ Vertika said. Trying to force a smile on her face.

Avantika knew that smile. She has had it for a long time. Though Avantika didn’t know what Vertika was going through. She gift wrapped something the very next day. And kept in Vertika’s bag the next day secretly.

When Vertika went to her hostel she found it, it was not named, it just had a diary. And a pen, it was the same Diary, Avantika had. The magical diary. And there was written in capital letters, you are not alone. You will never be. How was your day Vertika? She poured everything into that diary. And everything was just sucked out of her body. She knew someone cared for her in her class. She had to find her.

Avantika bought herself a new diary. This didn’t question things but this one listened too. She didn’t have a problem with it. She wrote some frustrating things in this one too. But Shivani didn’t read it this time. Not because she didn’t want to, she didn’t read just out of respect. She saw Avantika being made her diary packed and sliding into Vertika bags. “She will always be there for this girl”. Shivani thought. And hugged her extra tight that day. Though she didn’t say anything.

Next day, Vertika came with a gift and she gave to Avantika. Avantika in excitement opened it. She thought Vertika might have seen her gifting her the Diary. It was though old blue pom.

“ This one’s silk, good for ass “.

Everyone again was like “ OMG”.

Vertika looked at this angry Avantika, with so much love. Shivani had told her.

Though she tells Avantika. This girl so angry with controlled by four people looked so cute.
