~Colors Of Friends~

Shouvik's P.O.V

'The world seems so lifeless, the moment you stop your music' removing my headphones I thought as I stared at the sky which was so blue and bright. Bright enough to blind me and blue enough to steal the colors of my little world where I live in, peacefully. For others, the day was lively yet to me, this was just another day I have to survive. This is me, Shouvik, sharing a little bit of my world to others in this story. A gamer, introvert and a music lover.

I heard the bell rang, as I jumped off the roof top of our school, descending the stairs with my bag pack to leave, headphones found it's way back to my ears again. "Hey Shouvik!" heard a faint sound, behind me. Turning around, pulling an earplug out I stared at my friend to have him continue saying. "Wanna go to gaming center today?" This 'gaming center' always gets me man.. I need to stop being an addict to this and have my way with others. Try to socialize but it feels like someone always drowns my energy out. "Sure" I replied and as I was about to put my earplug back into my ear, I was stopped by him again saying "Oh May will be tagging along".

Hmm.. this girl named 'May', is not much of an threat to my personal world, it's just that she somehow managed to talk with me and it surprised me as well 'cause as an introvert, I'm very shy towards people. I like talking to people but not a lot of them, and well yeah, she is good enough. " 'kay" I replied to see May coming in this direction but I decided to leave. My world was calling me after all. Listening to my playlist, riding my bicycle I was heading to my home while living in my own world.

To be honest, the present me is a lot better from back then. Back then I used to think often that I will never be happy with the way I am now. But I'm humble towards my friends for changing me. The heat from the sun, the blue sky, the fragile yet strong wind does not bother me now. The people around me does not as well. 

I can live with whatever the way I want in class, not too much attention to me, just enough to my liking. I don't feel that the colour which I painted my world with, will turn into pitch black by others interfering into it now. And even if they do, I will have my friends re-paint it. I'm not alone to paint it all from back then, I have my friends, I have their support. But you know, we all have good and bad in a person, I get sad sometimes when my friend is mean to me, as I think put others before myself.

Soon I arrived at home, got changed into my casual clothing, repeating the usual schedule of everyday.

Surfing through my net, I found myself question, "But for how many years, months, weeks or maybe days will my world around me live on? The world which is so comfortable for me.. No the problem is- Will I be forever homesick for this place that only exists in my mind? a place which doesn't exist in real world?..." Tch..

*ring ring ring* 

My phone saved me from my demon suddenly, saw my friend calling me and then it hit me that I promised them to go gaming center today. Picked it up, said will be in a minute, got dressed and zoom, there I go to my place, the place which helps me to escape from reality.

Arriving there, I entered the room, just to see my friends playing and May welcomed me. Without further ado, I got myself a PC and started playing with others, shooting, slaughtering, having fun with my own pace and world with friends of course. May was a solo player so she stayed out of this. This is the only time I feel safe, not only but, lately yes, it is. But, 'Do you ever feel that you are not friends with some of your friends-' 

"Wha! what happened?" I found myself shaking furiously by a familiar pair of hands. It was my friend again. "Baby boo! I got 45 kills! Ha! You have to treat me now!" I stared at him wide eyed, only processing what he was saying. I smiled, replying with a "Yeah sure".

No one knows, when and who will save you from my demons. You don't know who will save you and they won't know when and how they saved you. But I can say at least, that they will save you, just like my friend did to me. I used to think that I won't ever be happy- no it's like I somewhere confirmed myself that I won't ever be, but if I think that I can be happy, I will become happy even on the smallest thing. And to pursue my greater dreams, to reach my desired level, my friends will be my support. 

Having friends isn't so bad, give it a try.

P.S : Oh my god, I'm so bad at writing stories now, I'm so sorry for this horrible short story, T.T and also for not writing lately. I have my exams going one after another as a result I'm only getting maths', chemistry formulae in my head swarming around. Im sorry!!
