If I could turn back time...

I've never taken a bus in Pakistan before. I never had to. All my cousins had taken the bus all the time to school, college, and university, which made me feel privileged. As it should. It was my first time on a bus, and as I made my way to Quaid-e-Azam university. It seemed daunting. I had confided in two of my cousins, Maheen api and Mayra. They encouraged me to take at least a few bus trips to university. So, here I was, in the middle of the middle swaying back and forth in my chair with different sets of people just sitting and minding their own business. I wanted the window seat, so that was a bummer. I promised myself that things would be different. I'd be more confident and more easygoing. My stomach turned into a knot, and I looked in front. I sighed. I wish I never grew to this stage of my life. Then I saw a lady, old and decrepit. She looked like she wanted to sit. But what was she doing on a Quaid bus? Maybe she's an elderly teacher? I sighed. I don't help her, I'll feel guilty, and we may have to reroute to a hospital, and I'm not in the mood for a horrible start to university. I got up with my bag. I motioned for her to sit. Naturally, she refused. I insisted, and she sat. I gingerly grabbed at a pole as we moved on. Again, I had withdrawn myself without realizing it until the bus stopped. It was my stop. "You know, you're a kind soul. I want to reward you," the old lady said, then to the door. "Give me a wish, and I'll make it come true." "Sorry, I don't do magic," I replied as I tried to get off the bus. "Come on, now," she continued, "Just tell me." Just to make her shut up, I said, "I wish you could turn back time to my first day of sixth grade and continue from the day, on the condition that I have the hindsight that I have today and the ability to control my body." She nodded and smiled. "Well done, Humna! Good luck!" I got off. Witch, I thought. I brushed it off. I looked at the department I was going to study in. I smiled as I walked inside to call Ammi to tell her I was at Quaid.
