- Selene's POV

"Hi... welcome to my story.

It's me, Selene.

I live in a joint family of seven -
me, my mum, my big brother, my uncle, my aunt, and their two little kids: a four‑year‑old girl who never runs out of questions, and a one‑year‑old baby boy who somehow cries and smiles at the same time.

Home is crowded, loud, messy...
but never lonely.

People, though?
That's a different story.

I've always been a little unlucky with them.
Never had real friends.
Never really fit in.

Apparently, I was "too boring" because I didn't care about makeup, boys, or whatever other "girly things" everyone else pretended to love.
I was the quiet one, the plain one, the odd one.

That was until 10th.

Today... I'm stepping into 11th grade.
Science stream.
New class.
New syllabus.
And maybe - hopefully - new friends.

Only 25 students.
Only 14 benches.
Feels small... close... almost comforting.

If only I knew.

If only someone whispered in my ear that 11th would become the worst year of my school life -
filled with hurt, betrayal, and a loneliness so sharp it carved its name inside me.

A year that would leave a wound I still carry.
A wound that never healed.
A memory I can never forget.

A year that changed everything. "
