Chapter-V

"Hey Yash! You have failed in four subjects and destroying the reputation of our school. I also heard that you are bunking classes. If you continue like this you'll be suspended from school" my principal shouted.

My parents were called and every teacher complained about me.My mom was crying so much that I wasn't able to see it. Inspite of what my school said, my parents supported me and didn't scold me but they treated with me love. I was ashamed.

How can I be such a jerk? Well my parents supported me even when the whole thing was my fault! So I decided to study for them and I really did study hard of course. I stopped going to the net café from that day. In fact, I forgot Fiona!

It was almost three months and the public exams started. I studied day and night before the exams and hard work really did pay off! I got 90 percent in my board exams. My parents were really proud of me. The teachers who said I won't even pass were not ready to look at me.

During the holidays, my parents got me a mobile phone and started looking for a college. Since I was idle at holidays, I remembered Fiona and thought of messaging her from my phone.

I installed Facebook, when I logged into the account, I saw that I received lots of messages from many friends, but Fiona didn't leave a single message. "She must have waited for me to chat" I thought. So, I left her a message and after sometime I received a message.

"Do I know you?"

"Hey Fiona this is Yash. Don't you remember me?"

"Sorry! I don't know"

"We met in culturals remember? The guitarist guy?"

"Oh ya! Sorry I forgot Yash"

"Well it's ok. How are you?"

"Ya awesome"

"What about the public exams?"

Ya passed all the subjects"

We started chatting often during the holidays. My Parents got me a seat in KIT, which is one of the leading institution in Coimbatore. All my friends got a good institution. My close friend Roshan left to study in Loyola College at Madras, so I couldn't contact him much.

It was the first day of college and I was really so excited. I waited for the college bus at the stand. When I saw my bus I was astonished!! It was like a super deluxe A/c bus. I sat in a seat which was empty. After sometime, a pretty girl came inside the bus. The senior students in the bus were whispering that she was a first year! "Well, I must be her friend somehow"

The college was not very big as I had imagined, but it was neat and well-maintained. Lots of boys and girls were chattering at top of their voices. They looked at me in a weird manner, but most of them smiled. I went inside my class and saw that there were more number of girls compared to the boys.

It was really new for me since I had studied in a boy's school for more than ten years. I saw a guy waving and smiling at me. I went near him. He introduced himself as Maradona and asked me to sit near him and we both shook hands. He's the first and also the best friend of my life! We both had fun in college did crazy things together so everyone in my class liked both of us.

My life in college was very much similar compared to the school except for girl domination. My class had a strength of fifty students in which thirteen were boys and the remaining girls! Somehow I got to know everyone in my class.

After a week, I went inside the college bus and was most astonished to see a familiar face sitting inside.
"Holy Comoly! That's Fiona!!"

That whole day, I was thinking about her inside the class. When college got over, I saw her walking outside my class. I rushed behind her.
