The boy, begins his life at his college after a hellish period of more than a year of preparation. Thinking back, it was quite exhausting to him. The study materials, the exams and the constant tension made him tired but he still fought through it. Now the result of the culmination of his hardwork landed him in a reputable college in the 1st allotment itself.
The boy was glad, his efforts paid off, even though he doubted himself, he still got a fairly good result for his hardwork. He thought he was too hard on himself but let go such thoughts as it's unwanted now. His college was going to start and he needed to focus on it.With many ambitions and aspirations he made his step into the college.
The college wasn't like his school. It had a large classroom which can even hold 250+ students compared to a maximum of 40 students per class in his school. The 1st allotment already produced around 140 students, which was close to 4 times his usual class strength.
The boy was feeling overwhelmed. Many unfamiliar faces and no one to actually click with right away. He was good at striking up a conversation. He was bold in a way that, he didn't have any rsservations or fear to initiate a conversation towards others, atleast that's how he lived till now. But, the sheer volume of students overwhelmed him to the point that he began questioning himself :Can he pull it off like usual?
His fear also factored due to another cause. In his school he was always the cream of the crop. He exuded brilliance and was always shining brightly but in the college every one of his classmates were all cream of the crop of their respective schools and he wasn't feeling the shining brilliance he once had in his school days.
He still steeled his nerves and striked a conversation with a fellow classmate beside him. Turns out they went to the same coaching institute and this caused them to ease their tension. They hit it off well and their conversation grew. The fellow classmate introduced himself as Ployt.
Ployt exuded the aura of an extrovert, not only was he easy to talk to, he actually commanded the course of the conversation. He was like the soul of the party. To the boy who is clumsy at communication, Ployt was a huge lifesaver. Through Ployt, the boy gained the confidence to strike up conversation with rest of his classmates and in a day or 2 Ployt and the boy began to be known quite well in the class.
Perhaps it was due to the infulence of Ployt or perhaps due to the hyperactive nature of the boy, he was seen as bocal, the one who voices the problems and queries and even bridges the queries of seniors to his classmates. To some, the boy was a great guy, one who bridges everyone, to others he was outspoken and to others he was just arrogant. The boy however was oblivious to it all.
The boy began socializing with his classmates. It was one of his wish to be friends or atleast be amicable with everyone. Fate played in mysterious ways, his act of socializing actually made him found a girl to whom he gravitated to. A girl who wasn't a typical a beauty or an eyecatching model. She was just like any other normal girl but something about her really sparked with the boy. He felt as if her aura around her was calminga nd soothing to him. He felt that he was getting drawn to her and they share a mysterious bond. Realizing this, the boy approached her.
His intentions were not to ask her out. He doesn't know anything about her and acting on just a feeling doesn't fit right with him. But the same feeling compelled him to have a connection with her. He introduced himself and talked with her like to any other classmates. True to what he felt, they clicked right from the get go and were actually having a great communication despite the boy's lack of skill in communication. The boy at last asked for her name to which she replied
