First Day of Tenth Standard

I woke up at 8:30 today. My bus came at about 9:10 although the school was from 11:15. I thought that the bus wasn't going to pick anyone after me but I was wrong. It pick up about 5-6 boys from various parts of the city thru a very complicated route in 40 minutes. When I reached school I had to wait outside for sometime as the CBSE exams of 12th were going on. After that we entered the auditorium from where we were directed to our respective classes. Our sections were didn't change; so I am in class 10-B-2.


 

Our class teacher teaches math. He took our attendance and unexpectedly started teaching. Unexpectedly because this is the first time we were taught on the first day. Next was physics in which also we were taught, followed by Arabic in which we did nothing; after which was recess. We had Economics and English after that. In all the classes the teachers told us about the importance of tenth as they did in ninth, eight and in every other class. The school ended as usual at 3:15 and I was at home by 4:15.

The Results

Yesterday my father woke me up before 11 and asked me to get ready. After some time we went to take pick up my mom from the university. By 12:30 we were on the way to Jeddah. Once there we had some light lunch at a south indian restaurant. Then we went to our paternal cousins home. My mom went to sleep there but I watched a movie called 'Alvin and the Chipmunks' and played on PS2 till 7 when we went to get the results. There was some traffic near the school but not much. My stomach started physical exercises as I was climbing the stairs and increased in frequency once I was in the class. There I was sitting behind a another boy who couldn't stop his nonsense chit-chat. But because of that nonsense the fear seemed to be draining out of me and made me feel less tense. In about 15 minutes my chance for the result came. I started walking towards the class teacher hearing my heart stomping loudly, sweating but feeling very cold and my stomach making push-ups. I did pretty good, not great though. It was less than I had expected. I got 86%; I was expecting at least 90. I got the second rank in the class. It was my best result this year and was not at all worth the tension. We went to the the bookshop also to get the books. It was a small shop but many people had thronged into it. Then atlast by 10 we were at home
