“Walk the line , girls.”
A teacher bellowed and the prefects echoed.
“Walk the line ladies.”
“Walk the line sissies.”
So on and so forth. Every day the same cry after school assembly, as they were herded back into class rooms, like cows.
Anju felt she could strangulate them with bare hands, someday.
“That is not gonna happen.”
The kind , round face of Preethi poked into her reverie.This girl is a serious psychic.Thought Anju.
“What?Why?”
“Because in two years, you will be there,” she jerked her head towards the dais , quickly brushing off hair from her eyes,” yelling at the rest of us.”

The prophecy came true.Two years later.
“Walk the line , everybody.”
A full throated cry. Anju , on dais, met Preethi’s eye, and smiled , wistfully.
Preeti gave a thumbs up, and disappeared into the crowd.
