The First

A sea of black, brown, golden brown, red bobbing up and down in front of me. I sat there quiet and alone. My thoughts ran and the emotions got overwhelming. So many questions and no answers. Someone was speaking in front of everyone else. Nothing made sense, nothing I could understand. Everything seemed new to me. The surroundings were made up of people and more people. The furniture was wooden and old. The transparencies flashed again and again. The speaker standing in front carried on till suddenly..everyone stood up and there it was again, the display of colourful tresses. Then there was a familiar tap on my shoulders. It was the familiar face. All settled down again. So it has begun. The first day of school.
