CHAPTER 1: THE ONSET OF A NEW LIFE

Start from the beginning
                                    

Neil: (standing at the door of my room) HERE I AM.

I was shocked. I couldn't believe it, okay okay first let me tell you guys who he is. Neil is my best friend since we were kids, we grew up together and went to the same school and we have seen each others ups and downs. So yaa, this was Neil, my bestie and i am glad he made it

Anyways back to the present. I hugged him very tight!

"thank you so much you came here yaa" i said while still hugging him

"anytime, now open your laptop and check." He reminded me and i parted the hug as my heart pounded harder

He made me sit on my bed, while he went to my desk to grab my laptop.I crossed my fingers hoping everything was going to go well.

but what if it doesn't? I spent my entire life dreaming to get in here.

I guess the tension was visible on my face. Neil came near and sat next to me as held my hand

"i know you, don't worry, it's all gonna be okay!" he said boosting up my moral

His words gave me the comfort I needed. With my shivering fingers I typed in my ID and password and logged into the site!

Those few moments where the site was loading my result, i closed my eyes and held Niel's hand very tightly, i couldn't even try to open my eyes to check for myself until Neil screamed "BRO U MADE IT".

I opened my eyes and saw the screen said " CONGRATULATIONS" it was true, i wasn't dreaming!

"Oh my fucking god yesss" I screamed and the tears of joy rolled down my cheeks, i hugged Neil. He wiped my tears

"why are u crying? Lets celebrate, we only have a month and then our lives will be changed forever" he said and i smiled and closed my laptop and cleaned my bed

I looked at him and smiled. He was such a kid, always happy and excited for everything. He kept blabbering about what all we had to do and I just nodded in agreement to what he said.

Me and Neil had a booked a house near SPRINGFIELD and decided to move in together and i am glad that we made our dreams come true. I informed everyone, by calls or by texts and my insta stories. By that time, Neil turned on the TV

In the news:

Reporter: hello and welcome back, we are glad to announce that the results of SPRINGFIELD HIGH have been declared, I believe it was the most awaited moment for all of us. The VC would soon join us to share the news of who topped their courses and which students are to be expected. Stay tuned while we connect with the VC, lets show you the headlines

Meanwhile, while Neil watched all of this with all curiosity, I got some pasta that mom made before she went to her office for the urgent meeting.

I video called mom and told her about the great news, exactly as she predicted! Just as i saw her face, i screamed "mom i made it"

"See i told you, you would make it" she said with a big smile on her face and i nodded. She then hung up and i went back upstairs to my room.

As soon as i bring the pasta inside, the aroma filled the room "i smell that aunty has my favourite PASTAAA" he said as he imitated sniffing like a dog and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Yes yes she left with a note saying thats it for the two kids she is proud of and for their big day  and here you go" i said giving him his plate

"so what are you watching on the news" i said as i sat on the bed and blew on some pasta so that they dont burn my tongue

"they are gonna announce toppers of courses" he said and took a direct bite and then jumped as it was hot

"Careful! Its hot"i said and i laughed "such a kiddo you are! You should eat carefully and that topper thing, that's interesting" i said

AUTHORS NOTE:
So hey guys, here is the most requested chapter! I am sorry for keeping you all waiting for along time. The thing was that this chapter demanded different attention, And somewhat while writing this I felt that many of you would not like it, so i sent it to my friends for their opinion and that's why it got kind of delayed

I have tried a sort of experiment so do let me know if you like the chapter and that would make me continue in the same writing style or if you would want me to change it do mention that too!

Also I think you all need a clarification, so here are some of things i have planned

Firstly, I am thinking of keeping the next few chapters that will follow up to have Aashna's POV. Since Sanket would be introduced later in the story. (As they enter and mingle into highschool world)

Secondly, In the story you all might have seen the course toppers are going to be declared in the next chapter, the course toppers is something fictional which I thought of and that is solely on the basis of in which course, which student has the highest percentage of previous school results. Like okay, i explained badly but , i hope you all got it

And lastly, i am thinking of playing a game, i will post a question of the day(QOTD) on every chapter i post and you guys can reply in comments. Cool. So here goes:

QOTD:  what is your favourite movie?

Next chapter would be up, after i see the response to this one, so that i know which way to focus on!

PS: what I have written actually sort of happened with me during my college admissions, so it's kind of a depiction of what actually happened with me

I HOPE YOU ALL LIKED THE CHAPTER, PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR FEEDBACK AND ANY SUGGESTIONS, CHANGES, IDEAS  ETC IN THE COMMENTS OR FEEL FREE TO  DM ME.

ALSO KEEP VOTING GUYS🌸

LOVE YOU ALL
XOXO
