The first day of school was filled with excitement. The hallways echoed with laughter as students reunited with old friends and introduced themselves to new classmates. Some were nervous, while others couldn't wait to begin another year.
Among the crowd was Parv, a cheerful and kind-hearted boy who had transferred to the school that year. He took a deep breath, adjusted his backpack, and smiled to himself.
"A new school... a new beginning."
At the same time, Miv, the school's quiet and popular student, walked through the corridor with his friends. He wasn't interested in meeting anyone new. To him, school was just another routine.
As Parv hurried towards his classroom, he accidentally bumped into someone.
Books slipped from their hands and scattered across the floor. "I'm so sorry!" Parv said immediately, kneeling to pick them up.
Miv looked at him with an annoyed expression.
"It's fine," he replied coldly, taking the books without even thanking him before walking away.
Parv watched him disappear into the crowd.
"Who was that?" he whispered with a small smile.
For some strange reason, he couldn't stop thinking about the boy who didn't even spare him a second glance. He adjusted his backpack and walked toward his classroom.
As soon as he entered, a few students smiled at him.
"Hey! You must be the new student," one of them said cheerfully. "I'm Rohan."
"And I'm Aryan," another added, extending his hand.
Parv smiled and shook hands with both of them.
"I'm Parv. Nice to meet you."
"Come on, we'll show you around," Rohan said.
Within a few minutes, the three were laughing and talking like they had known each other for years.
Just then, the classroom door opened.
Miv walked in with a few of his friends.
"Hey, Miv!" Rohan called out.
Miv walked over to them.
"There's someone we want you to meet," Aryan said.
He turned toward Parv.
"This is Parv. He's new here."
Then he looked at Parv.
"And Parv... this is Miv."
Parv's eyes widened for a second.
"It's him..." he thought.
He smiled warmly and extended his hand.
"Hi, Miv. Nice to meet you."
Miv looked at him for a moment before shaking his hand.
"Nice to meet you," he replied calmly. After a short introduction, Miv walked back to his usual seat with his friends. Parv also made his way to his desk beside Rohan and Aryan. As the bell rang, the chatter in the classroom slowly faded, and everyone settled into their seats, ready for the first class of the day. To everyone else, it was just another ordinary first day of school.
But for Parv and Miv...
It was the day destiny quietly brought two strangers together.
