The last day of school in my last school

“No, this is not the beginning of a new chapter in my life; this is the beginning of a new book! That first book is already closed, ended, and tossed into the seas; this new book is newly opened, has just begun! Look, it is the first page! And it is a beautiful one!”  ― C. JoyBell C.

Well said.
It was the last day of school, my last exam when i realized that it was all going to end then and there and that was the moment i knew. I was going to move away to a new city, new world leaving behind me my past and its turmoils.

As i wrote the last answer on my answer sheet a silver tear slipped out of my eye. This was the place i had spent my childhood and grew up in. I had enumerable amount of good and bad memories. Worst of all i was leaving behind my friends. But why?

I had to remind myself that it is all for myself. It was for better opportunities and better study features.That consoled me a bit. It was going to be so difficult for me.

I gave my answer sheet after revising it thoroughly. I waited outside the exam hall for other to finish and come out. Slowly everyone came out. But no one was discussing the paper. After all i was not the only one for whom it was the last day.

In the past few months everyone of us had come closer. The fifteen of us may never see any one of us ever again. Maybe this thought had created a scare in everyone's mind and this provoked us to come together under one umbrella and maybe just maybe be friends forever.

What had happened to me? I never imagined  would shed even a single tear for any of them. But here i was crying my eyes out on the shoulder of the girl who had once ditched me and hurt me to the extent that i nearly went into depression.

As i saw their faces for what was probably the last time, those two years flashed before my eyes that i had spent here. Something weird had come over me. The place i hated suddenly became my paradise in an instance.

I hugged as many people i could and probably these were some of my best hugs and the most passionate ones. For some i could not even manage a proper goodbye. And for some even saying a few words become a difficult task for me. And now i feel guilty about the unsaid goodbyes.

Maybe it is too late to tell them how everyone had suddenly meant so much to me, how suddenly everyone acquired a special place in my heart. Maybe i was never on my best terms with them but then again i guess this is what friendship and school life is all abut.
