Sweet Explosion

Part 1 : It all Begins Here

Just like every other student struggling through the devastating result of grade 11 and then intrinsically and extrinsically motivated to score decent marks in grade 12 .

" Boards are coming up! It's a DO or DIE situation "

These were the only few words i used to hear from everyone around me and hearing these words again and again had triggered me to score well in exams. Of course unless I met him.

"Good Morning ! I am Ranveer Rai "

he said , followed by a firm handshake . As i introduced myself , the teacher entered the class and all students sat in their respective places , which the teacher had assigned so that there wasn't much commotion in the class regarding sitting with friends . Well, i sat on the last bench , with Ranveer. I told him about all our subject teachers and the colorful notebooks and the respective subjects they held.

Soon , it was the recess.I showed him around the school and we ended up sitting under a shady tree which was in our school premises , referred to as the " Green Area" . It was the most beautiful place in the school , kind of a path full of trees on both sides and had some round concrete tables , for sitting . I always used to go there and sit under the tree dreaming about my future, even sometimes tried to climb up unless the teacher on duty came and pulled me back down calling me a "monkey".

Ranveer began to tell me about his life and an astonishing fact that it was his first time in any metropolitan city.He seemed to be just like me , who used to dream about owning a Lamborghini but studying like he didn't even deserve a Maruti 800 . We started discussing about our passions and interests .

" I love to produce music " he said .

"Produce Music ?? " I asked . "Yes ! Electronic Dance Music " he said .

"Oh! That sounds interesting . Mind sending me some of your tracks ?"

" Yea , sure " he said with a wide smile on his face .

Well , our days in school passed just like this and he learned about my interests in theater and music and also about how much i loved to help people . The Summer Vacations were to begin but just before the start of vacations , he told me about a website which worked as an online therapy and where i could go and listen to different people and help them .

"Woah ! This platform sounds amazing ! I'll surely give it a go today "

 "www.7cups.com" he wrote on a parchment of paper and slid it inside my pocket 

The school dispersed and now we all were to meet after a month and fifteen days !
