  Chapter-1 
  “Nothing has changed “thought robin as the bus pulled up beside her old home. After 5 years spending in the boarding school robin has returned home to her grandma. She still remembers the circumstances that had compelled her grandmother to send her to the boarding school. It was very hard for robin to part from her granny after she lost her parents. It was Christmas time and the house was full of celebration when the terrible news of her parent’s death shattered all happiness surrounding her. Her grandma understood it would be very difficult for her to cope up with the situation and hence after a few months she had sent robin to St. Vincent’s boarding school. It was equally hard for her to part with her only granddaughter. But there was no choice. And now standing before her old home all the memories attached to this place flashed back in robin’s mind and she realized that the place where she had spent most of her childhood still retains the same welcoming and enchanting spirit .once it had. As robin was recollecting these memories .Mrs. Kent came out of the house .her eyes were full of tears, tears of joy .robin also seeing her grandmother after so many years couldn’t keep herself from being sentimental. She hugged her grandma and whispered “I am so glad that I am back”. Her grandma smiled “I know my child have kept your room and all your books that you loved as a child clean thought you would feel happy having all that belonged to you.” 
  “Oh! Thanks so much, granny. It really feels like being in home” 
  “so make yourself comfortable and I will prepare the tea “saying that Mrs. Kent went to the kitchen .robin went upstairs to her room. she looked around hers elf ,her room was just the same ,the toys in the shelf(though she didn’t have any interest in playing with Barbie dolls and all that),her books on the table ,the window through which she used to gaze outside every evening watching the sun setting down ,the twinkling stars and lastly the cuckoo clock that her parents gifted her on her ninth birthday. She started arranging her things in order. 
  Chapter-2 
  That evening robin spent her time talking to her granny recollecting many events, talking about her experience in the boarding school and many other things. Mrs. Kent could understand robin’s sadness and how pained she was to return to this house after that sorrow full incident that proved to be the turning point in her life. Robin saw that her grandma was staring at her. 
  “You are thinking how I feel coming home isn’t it? But granny I know that you had sent me to the boarding school for my own benefit and as I told you I am really happy to be back.” 
  “I know my dear and I also know that though you try to hide your pain I can understand you are sad but my dear grief passes with time and in this case also it will pass but it will take time to you will have to wait.” 
  Robin could only mumble “yes, May be. You are right granny. “She was really missing her parent after arriving home.Mrs.Kent saw the clock struck ten. 
  “My dear now I think you should go to bed .it’s quiet late and tomorrow is your first day in the school .go goodnight.” 
  “Good night granny “saying that robin went upstairs and put the light off. 
  Next day the sun shone brightly as robin headed for Maryland School. She hoped everything turns out all right today. Entering the class room, robin sat on the corner bench near the window which gave a wonderful view of the Santa Loop hills. The students were staring at her. Robin knew it was an obvious fact as she had faced similar situation on her first day in the boarding school. 
  “This is your first day in the school I presume?” said a red haired girl with green eyes .she had freckles on her cheeks and her hair was curly. She was wearing a red T-shirt with black jumper and blue trousers. 
  Robin answered in affirmative. 
  “Well I am Tracy McKinney. What is your name?”The girl asked. 
  “My name is robin. Robin Kent.” 
  Glad to meet you robin.” 
  “Nice to meet you too, Tracy.” 
  The girl was going to ask some more questions when a boy with sharp eyes entered the class room. He was tall and thin but certainly muscular. He looked at robin for a few moments and then went over to his place. 
  “That’s Roy. He is one of the best students of the class “informed her new friend Tracy. 
  “So there are others too?”Robin asked. 
  “Oh yes! There’s Roy as I have already told you. Then there’s Eric, Altair, Neo, Xander and York. They are all the cool ones amongst us. And if you want to know about the girls then they are Loraine, Christie, Amber, Price and many others.” 
  “So you are also among one of them? I mean among Roy, Christie, Eric and others, the ‘cool’ ones?”Robin asked. 
  “Well yes. We are a group of friends. Some of us are a bit serious you know .they talk less and don’t engage themselves in any funny activities and like that you know. But how did you guess that I am their friend?” 
  “Firstly, I should tell you that I don’t guess. You said yourself that some of the guys are cool and you used the phrase “amongst us” which clearly implies that the group includes you too. Simple!” 
  “Wow! That’s good observation .hey look there comes Eric, that brown haired boy with sharp features. Did you see him? And that’s Loraine.” 
  “She is beautiful .isn’t she?” 
  “Yes .she is beautiful” replied robin. 
  “Hi! Loraine. What’s up?” 
  “Hello Tracy!” waved Loraine as she came towards them. “Oh I see you are a new student I hope?”She asked pointing towards robin. 
  “Yes .her name is robin.” 
  “Hi! Robin.” greeted Loraine. 
  “Hi”, answered robin. 
  The group of three was joined by three more girls. Tracy also introduced Altair and the so called ‘coo’ guys.” 
  While introducing Altair robin found Tracy quiet excited .she understood that Tracy liked the boy. 
  While robin was enjoying company a tall thin be spectacled gray haired man entered the classroom. Robin recognized that he was Mr. Lucas, the principal of the school. Robin knew him to be his grandma’s friend but knew him only by sight. 
  “Robin Kent?” 
  “Yes, Sir “Robin replied promptly. 
  “Please come with me.” 
  Robin sat down in the chair. 
  “So your grandma is Mrs. Kent of snowflake lane?” questioned Mr. Lucas. 
  “Yes” answered Robin. 
  “Well I heard your parents died in an accident and then you went to a boarding school.” 
  “Yes sir. After the death of my parents’ grandma thought I would be better in a boarding school than at home.” 
  Mr. Lucas could see that the girl hadn’t still recovered from the shock of death of her parents. He didn’t blame the girl for that.”  But he was impressed to see that the girl was very self composed without showing any sign of sadness or being sentimental. He wished her best of luck and robin went back to her class. Mr. Lucas became very interested in the girl’s nature and therefore called up Mrs. Kent. 
  Going back to her class robin found the teacher had already stated teaching .he was the math’s teacher Mr. Danvers. Robin went back to her seat. Mr. Danvers was explaining about algebra and graphs. 
  “So you are robin. New here?” asked Mr. Danvers. 
  “Yes sir “replied robin. 
  “Okay .sit down.” 
  “Now class Mr. Danvers continued .can you tell me how to draw the graph of x sin x.This is an extra topic .if anyone knows please come and explain it here on the board.” 
  Robin knew the answer to the question .it was very easy. She loved math. Even though no one had taught her this part she knew about it as she had studied it herself.
