FLASH BACK

Chandu's point of view

5 Years back

I finished my football practice and was sitting on the ground. One of the girls came running and stood a little far away and shouted my name. " CHANDU ! " I looked at her confused. Then she said something in a little lower tone. " Satya ". That single word was enough to bring me on my feet. She gestured towards the building and I ran as fast as my legs allowed me to. I noticed that there were three students standing in the corridor. Two girls were standing beside each other and a boy was standing in front of them. The girls' backs were towards me. I started walking towards them. While I was still walking one of the girls slapped the boy straight in the face. He put his hand to his cheek. " There is no way I will let go of you this easily the next time ". I put my hand around the girl's shoulder who just spoke up. " She left it with a slap. But I would not. Better be careful next time ". 

I warned him in a low but serious tone. He left the place after that. " Tell me if you have a problem again ". " Thank you ". " No mention ". I replied on behalf of the girl I had my hand around and we left that place. The other girl walked away in the opposite direction. " Why did you do that ? " I know what she was speaking about. I just looked straight ahead and answered her. " Because you don't do a thing like that without a reason ". She stopped in her tracks. " He was bullying her and I couldn't help but do that. He was too arrogant for words ". I turned towards her with a smile. " I know. Now let's go before coach arrives ". So this is Satya. My best friend ever. My partner in crime. More like a soul mate and a sister. We both are friends since we were 5. We are classmates too. 

We were the star students in our school. Good at everything. Sports, academics, curricular activities, dance, music and pretty much anything and everything. The teachers loved us and the students too. Our principal sir also liked us a lot. And we were also the naughtiest ones. We irritated our teachers at times too. But they used to let it slide since we were the best students. We both were part of our school football team. Our school has the best football team ever. We won most of the competitions in state level.

There was a new teacher who joined our school that year and it was only a month since she joined. She taught Hindi to our class. Being the mischievous ones we both were we made a paper rocket and it went straight into her hair. Everyone in the class started laughing and she took us to the principal's office to complain about us. Once she was done complaining sir turned towards us with a smile. " Why is it you both all the time ? " " Sir we didn't do anything ". I finished Satya's sentence. " We just welcomed her in our style sir ". We both smiled at him when the teacher continued to shoot daggers at us. " You should be careful the next time. See that your classmates don't laugh when you do these kinds of things. Got it ? " " Sure sir ". We both nodded sincerely. " You can go now ". " Thank you sir. Sorry ma'am ". We both said in unison and left his cabin. Once we were out we were laughing like lunatics and high five each other and went to our class.

Third person point of view

The teacher was still angry. She couldn't believe the principal's behavior. " What is this sir ? How can you let go of them so easily ? " " You are new to this school. So you don't really know about them. Once you know them you will never complain again ". She just shook her head and went to the staff room. The teachers were chatting about something in the staff room. One of the teachers was saying about something. " Did you see the poems and essays they gave for this year's magazine ? They are awesome ". She couldn't help but question them. " Who are you speaking about ? " " Satya and Chandu. Even their paintings were really good ". They show her all the drawings and writings. She was surprised by it. Then she also found out that they were really talented students. She understood that they were as naughty as they were obedient. So she never even was going to complain about them.

Author's note :

FINALLY!!!!!!!!! The long awaited truth is out ! 🥳😅

I actually didn't plan on writing this note, but then people might feel disappointed that her best friend is not a boy. I didn't want it to be the same routine you can say, maybe. I think some of you might have expected it to be her boyfriend as well.😅 But it is a girl, who is her best friend. But I think at that age or time, I would be someone who would value friendship and sisterhood more. I don't mean to say love would not be right, but I didn't want it to be like that. Not just love even friendship can matter a lot. In fact it matters a lot. People might think I have some inspiration of real life or something, and to some extent it is true. I really like my best friend a lot, but she is alive, don't get me wrong. In a way I just wanted to show how much I love her maybe. I don't know. So please don't get any wrong ideas. And also........what else 🤔?! Haha, just a minute, I just forgot what I thought of saying................😅😂..............yeah, got it! This is the biggest twist ever in my story out of the whole thing. So please do let me know your views about it by commenting. I would like to know what your feelings are. I hope you guys don't get disappointed and stop reading or something. Please do read it. 😁🤗🥰
