PRELUDE

Anya: Hi. I am Anya. Anya Raheja

Aaryan: Hello people! I *pause for dramatic effect* am Aaryan Gupta

Disha: And I am Disha Soni

Aaryan: Who are we? Well, Anya here, is a neurologist in some hospital I don't remember the name of...

Anya: St. Mary. The name has literally four letters.

Aaryan: Yeah, that. As for me; Well *smiles and looks down to prevent eye contact in a dramatic way* I am quite a few things actually. To begin with...

Disha: He's a programmer and a graphic designer and has a keen interest in being dramatic.

A moment of silence.

Aaryan: THANK YOU DISHA! *looks at her with enraged eyes* Which brings me to this devilish woman, she is a nano-biologist which I think is another cool thing to be

Disha: It is, but it's not as fun as it sounds. Anyway, before I digress and start elaborating on my opinion, I want to tell you that we're here to tell you a story.

Aaryan: Right. *deepens voice* This is the story about our life. More specifically, why it ended. *dun dun dunnnn* And if you're reading this, you're one of the reasons why! *stares intensely into the camera screen*

Disha and Anya: AARYAN! That is distasteful!

Aaryan: Just kidding, this isn't 13 Reasons Why and neither are any of us suicidal... YET *DUN DUN DUNNNNN* *stares again*

Anya: It's not funny!

Aaryan: Ok ok... chill. Anyway, so yeah, we're here to tell you our story. The story of how three very different people ended up together, split apart, had some more complications. Pretty much your clichéd teenage drama. But like any other Disney movie, everything came to a good ol' happily ever after *smiles* Until all of us became SUICIDAL *DUN DUN DUNNNNN* *stares most intensely*

Anya: He is not going to speak anymore, otherwise we'll get in trouble. Readers, we're not trying to make fun of this subject. He is too dumb to understand how delicate a topic this is. *puts her hand on Aaryan's mouth*

Disha: Anyway, before he can create more nuisance, here's how it began *puts her hand as well*
