Ramya’s Story

Ramya lay on her bed thinking about her life. The past few months had been a rollercoaster ride for her. She had been too busy to even notice what was happening. It was all surreal. (Flashback)

Ramya walked into school gloomily. She had been forbidden by her family, especially her mother, to talk or communicate with her friends, Soukhya, Pravallika and Anusha. She had also been warned not to get into trouble again. She had been told clearly by her mother that what had happened with her had been entirely her fault.

“Why did you protest? If you had kept quiet, they would have left you and you wouldn’t have been shamed in front of every one!”

“But mom, I didn’t do anything!”

“Shut up! If had done nothing, why would you be made to show everything in the assembly? Huh? How dare you go to the Principal and make him angry?”

“Mom, I didn’t it was Souki who dragged me!”
