ray- a drop of golden sun...

Oh, it was nothing physical, but a sudden rush of joy on seeing the perfect combination of the golden eyes of the fawn in front of her and the white crysnathemums in the flower pot near her...Ummmm.. in life there are some moments, some situations which make us inexplicably happy. When every sense is hieghtened and all we can feel is unadulterated joy.Well this was exactly how daisy felt at this moment.She went home humming and then sat down at her study table, trying to reconstruct the beautiful feeling she had experienced in the form of words.

Well, i wont tell u what she exactly wrote( u see that comes much later) but when she showed it to her parents, they were very pleased.Specially her dad with whom daisy shared a relationship that was mainly dominated by fear at least from her side.This my friends was the begining of the second new relevation in daisy's life.That she could write....not just boring assignments and school essays but poems, stories, just like the dog eared ones she used to read at night under the covers. Hmm... daisy's life seemed to be taking a bright turn.She had a new best friend now, her emerald green diary.It contained snippets of her world, records of those rare and satisfying moments in life, as well as those grief filled ones in which she was sure that she would die in the next ten minutes of heart break.
There is this invisible social ladder everywhere we go. Well it was there in daisy's school as well. And guess what, she was rapidly climbing up. The moment the pen released the rush of words in her head , by some magical connection she bacame fluent as well..Teachers who hardly used to notice her started to appreciate and the effect on daisy was somewhat akin to the effect of summer rains on daffodils. She bloomed and became a source of joy to everyone around her.
Rhea remained her best friend and they used to sit together always. Weekends, they used to stay over at each others houses.
Thus it was on a lazy sunday afternoon at her place that daisy met Ron, rhea's cousin...

doe- a dear, a female dear..

daisy had her own favourite-st corner of the whole class, from where she could admire the patterns that the sunbeams made on eucalyptus leaves jst outside her school window. But today the familiar face which she had met yesterday- rhea, waved to her "come sit with me". Daisy who normally didnt like to be seperated from the classroom window much was confused but then she liked Rhea so.... That was the first day Daisy had human company for lunch. But then she saved half of it as usual for the birds and squirrels in the school garden. (she was 2 sweet 2 forget her old friends u see...).
"by the way, daisy i think you really look pretty without your specs "said stickly legs( ooh.... for the record, this is daisy's ultra-thin classmate who used to pointedly ignore her. we wont bother with her name coz she is not going to pop up much in the story). Now that was something ... nobody had ever called daisy pretty before, that is nobody except her grandma who used to lovingly braid her hair with pink ribbons. Embarassed and thinking she was being teased Daisy was jst about to retreat into her enchanted world again when rhea joined in " yes, i think she is right. you do look very cute." hm mm..... there was this disturbingly delicious warmth in daisy's cheeks( my guess, is that could be a blush). The first vestiges of female vanity stirred in daisy's mind.. After that it was mostly peaches and cream... except for the fact that she never wore her specs to school again ...(she used to hide them in her school bag and wear them before she went home).Daisy made many new friends in her class and one of them was the boy sitting in the bench next to her.( now this was someone whom daisy disliked, mainly because he used to stick chewing gum in her hair) We will call him jimmy because he is his perfect for this name. Well, jimmy used to help daisy with her maths so her grades slowly improved.
And then suddenly, one day as she was walking in the park watching the deer play , something struck her hard...
