Hey everyone 😃,

Hope you are having a wonderful day. Thank you for the awesome feedback on my last blog. You guys are the best. 😄

This blog is a continuation of it on how I reconnected with my best friend from school. You can read the first part on my profile. 

So Daisy and I prepared for the board exams. We completed all our projects together. It was a long and tedious task but we completed it. On the last day of school I decided to take my phone to click some pictures of my friends and classmates as I wanted to remember all of it for life. I know it sounds cheesy but that's how I felt then. 

Many of my classmates had bought their phones. We clicked a ton of pictures that day and had a lot of fun.  At the end of the day our class teacher sang a beautiful song for us which was a surprise because she was really strict with us during the rest of the time. The next day was our farewell ceremony. It was marvelous. Our juniors had done a great job organising it. We clicked many pictures here too. 

After all of this was done we had our board exams in a month. I studied for the exams with Daisy and regularly attended my coaching classes. On the day of the first exam my anxiety had gone through the roof. Apparently the papers were going to be difficult that year. Daisy was nervous too but we managed to calm ourselves down and complete the first exam. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. In the same way all of our papers were done and school was over. 

Our results came out in the month of June. Daisy and I had scored good marks. But since Daisy was opting for commerce we had selected different junior colleges. We both got into our desired college. Some days after the result Daisy stopped talking to me as much as we did before. She had found some new friends who were going to be in the same college as hers. I was sad but the thought of making new friends in college helped me overcome my sadness. 

Eventually we completely stopped talking. I tried not to show it but I was miserable because it is really difficult for me to open up to somebody and the person I had opened up to had left me. I made some friends in junior college but never really talked to them as freely as I talked to Daisy. 

In twelfth grade I realised that these ‘friends’ of mine were never really friends after all. After the board exams when I told them that I was moving to a new place for my university they didn't seem to care. So I stopped talking to them. That time was really depressing for me because a lot was going on and I had no one to talk to. 

Then university started and in one of my classes I had a group assignment. For this all of the members in my group decided to have the discussions on messenger. I installed the application on my phone and when I was going through my old messages I found Daisy's chat. I had stopped using messenger a long time back so I had forgotten about it until now. I don't know what happened in that moment and I texted Daisy a ‘hi’. 

When she didn't reply for a few hours I regretted sending the message because I thought she must have completely forgotten about me but the next day when I woke up I saw many texts from Daisy. I was pleasantly surprised to see this. Somewhere at the back of my mind I was happy that I texted her first and she actually replied. At first we were chatting formally but in some time we went back to being our old selves. Daisy asked me which college was I attending, I told her I had moved to a new place. She was still continuing her studies in the same college she was in. 

We also exchanged phone numbers and I called her. I was really happy to be actually talking to a friend in a really long time. We talked for 2 hours straight and didn't realise it. This happened in January last year. I told her we'll plan to meet when I come home for the summer. 

Sadly we couldn't meet because the covid pandemic began and lockdown was imposed. But we regularly text and call each other. We're back to being best friends and tell each other everything. I'm gonna go home next year during the summer break so we'll meet each other then. I wish I get to see her soon.      

Hope you enjoyed today's blog. Please leave a like if you did. I'll be back with a new blog soon. 

Till then stay safe, stay home and wear a mask 😄.
