The school was beautiful, far bigger than Noah had expected. A large green field stretched behind the classrooms, and the morning sun reflected off the shiny windows of the office and the library.
"Wow," Leo whispered. "This is not a normal village school!"
Noah glanced around — there was a library filled with books, a computer room buzzing with activity, a seminar hall, and classrooms that smelled faintly of chalk. Everything felt alive.
Athoi, noticing Noah's amazement, waved him over. "Come on, we'll show you around," she said. Ayesha, Achiya, Rita, and Shyama followed, laughing and teasing each other.
As they walked past the classrooms, the girls pointed out everything — the computer lab, the library with stacked books, the principal's office, and the seminar room where older students often practiced speeches.
By the time they reached the green field, Noah realized he was already smiling. The school didn't feel intimidating anymore. It felt like a place where something unforgettable could happen.
Leo nudged him. "This is going to be fun — I can feel it."
