2 Three Combo

While thinking about the long queue, Elsa saw her old friend during her school days waiting for his turn. She went over and poked his shoulder and when he turned around, she smiled and said ," Hey!! I didn't know you joined here." He shrugged saying ," Well.. i was lucky enough to get selected . How have you been?."

" I have been good. My exams sucked big time and I hope i get to meet new friends. " She blabbered on as usual and He smiled saying," You are still the same as ever."

"No.... I have changed, I am not the same as how i was during our school time... You could say i have matured a teeny bit, Fazil." Hearing this, Fazil mocked saying," You.. matured?!.. haha..." He was laughing so bad that tears came out from his eyes.

Elsa pouted and joined the queue. Fazil shook his head," You are still the same.. Joining in between the queue, and you said you have matured?"

Elsa ignored him and shouted to her dad to go inside and wait for her. As soon as she got inside, her dad got the details of where the orientation was and walked off in that direction.

As Elsa was walking towards the hall, she saw few of her schoolmates waving at her. She smiled and waved back at them while continuing to find her seat. As she sat on her seat, She noticed that the girl in front of her was similar ,when that girl turned around to look at her, She gasped and called," Elsa?"

Elsa was shocked seeing her but she was uncertain if she recognized her as the same person she knew. So she called out, "Gina?"

Gina smiled and said ," Hey Elsa, Long time no see."

They talked for some time and figured that both of them were in the same department . They stopped their chat as the orientation began and because they had ample amount of time to catch up.

Gina was her school mate from kindergarten till fourth grade. They were in the same class during fourth grade and knew each other. Elsa knew that she changed her school after fourth and hasn't seen Gina from then.

While looking around, she recognized another familiar figure in the crowd who was rushing to find her seats. Surprisingly, she saw Gina waving her hands at her and then she realized that after Gina changed school, she went to St Thomas which was were the familiar figure was from. Elsa forgot the name of that familiar figure as it's been four years since she saw her from her tuition classes.

Later, when the orientation finished, the class teachers urged the students to enter the classroom for few minutes so that they know where their classrooms and who their assigned teachers were.

As she got to her classroom, the classroom was neat ,filled with desks and benches capable of seating three or four people. She found out that the girls took the right side and the boys to the left. She saw where Gina sat and hurriedly occupied the seat next to her. Elsa was getting nervous as she wasn't used to this environment and chatted continuously with Gina.

Later, she found out that the familiar girl from before was also sitting on the same bench. Gina introduced us and Elsa got to know her name was Adina.

Adina was a very chubby girl and the reason Elsa remembered her was because of her marks. She always used to get full for tests and that had left me shocked during those days.Whereas Gina had the same characteristics of how she was in her fourth grade -slim, pretty. Her smile was the same as before. She was stylish and mature now that Elsa was at awe to know a mature person at her age. Gina was emitting a confident aura and many would envy her confidence like Elsa.

Elsa was a bit shy and had no self confidence. She remembered how she used to dance till fourth year and later stopped. As much as she tried to remember, she cant remember the reason why she forgot . So, she envied her confidence to do anything and longed to become a confident girl .

They couldn't talk much as their class teacher came in.She was a young teacher and Elsa was surprised to hear that she had a kid of two years. She soon introduced herself, took our attendance and later, reminded of the do's and dont's. She happily made us leave saying that," Tomorrow we can get to know each other more."

As they were leaving, Elsa realized that she hadn't looked at any of her other classmates and looked around. That's when she figured that every other girl's had made their own groups, as girls have the tendency to make little group of friends wherever they go, while the boys mingle with everyone.

She soon smiled at her new found friends and said," Lets be friends." Both Gina and Adina nodded their heads .. and that's how the three of them became friends.
