It was the beginning of the board exams, the culmination of months of hard work, sleepless nights, and endless group discussions.

The tension in the air was palpable, but there was also a shared sense of determination among Ayush and his friends. This was the moment they had been preparing for.

Ayush's phone buzzed on the desk, and without looking, he knew it was the group chat. "Spilling the Tea" had been more active than ever, filled with last-minute questions, motivational messages, and occasional freak-outs as the reality of the exams set in.

Ayush grabbed his phone and saw a flood of messages from his friends.

Spilling the Tea

Ansh: "Guys, anyone else feeling like they're going to forget everything the second the paper starts?"

Kiara: "Ansh, breathe! You know this stuff. Trust yourself."

Neha: "Same here! I've revised like 20 times, and now I feel like I remember nothing 😩."

Sanya: "Maths is tomorrow. Why does it always feel like doomsday??"

Aadhit: "We got this! Just focus on doing your best. We've prepared as much as we could."

Ajay (from Surat): "I feel you guys, even from here! Distance isn't making this easier 😅. But let's stay strong. One paper at a time!"

Ayush chuckled at Ajay's message. Even though Ajay was all the way in Surat, he'd been as involved as ever, never missing a beat in their group chats.

It was comforting knowing that no matter the distance, their bond stayed intact.

He quickly sent a message to ease the tension:

Ayush: "We've all worked super hard. One exam at a time. Let's crush this!"
