Just another day

Hey fatso, don't walk this much else you will disappear. Just one of the taunts by her class mates as she was walking towards home after school got over. Pallo was now attuned to these body shamers, and many a times she want to get back to them and call them names as well. But most of the times keeping a straight face and holding her head down she walked home. It was not until she opened the door of her room the tears would flow and she would bury her head in her pink pillow. She hated school, although a good student and an above average performer didn't help her much to be the popular girl in the school. Being accepted for what she was also looked like a far fetched dream.

Pallo, are you home? Her maid didi inquired, as she heard the door close. Should i serve the lunch. What is there today didi, Pallo asked from her room. Well well, I have cooked your favourite today - Pav bhaji. Instantly her mood got uplifted. If anything in the world could make her happy it was food. And food cooked by her maid didi, she was the best in the world. Pallo got up, cleaned her face and went to nourish more her mood then her body with pav bhaji and a generous helping of butter over it. As she slurped away the last of the morsel, her mother called.

When will you be home mumma, Pallo inquired. She was feeling a little lonely today, and not in a mood to go to her tuition classes. Darling, we have a meeting in the office which is going to run late, and your Papa has an emergency at the hospital, so we wont be home until dinner time.
Pallo, let out a sigh and disconnected the phone. She hated her parents working late until night, where as other children parents are generally home by evening time. Fighting tears she went to her room and threw herself on the bed. Her overworking stomach made her drowsy and she soon slumbered away.

Get up CHUBBY CINDRELLA, someone shouted in her ear. With a jolt she got up only to see a bespectacled face of Harsh. What you want she shouted back?
Why you didn't come to the tuition today, had a lot of food you fatso?
Well atleast i have a better face you chasmish, and with that she threw a pillow at him.
Harsh caught it mid air and threw it back. He had a better aim then her, thanks to his four eyes and it hit her on her head. This didn't get down well with Pallo and she got up and sat on Harsh.
Listening to Harsh shrieks the maid didi came and rescued him. You two out of the house now, she yelled!
