Class Spirit

-
"We need everyone to be in on this," Sharav said.
I looked at the class. No one seemed to have the class spirit I was looking for. I thought back to my FIS classmates, during the lockdown and online classes. I wasn't with them, but I kept in touch with them through Zoom chat. I remembered that time when the whole class was enraged with the math teacher, who never explained doubts and always went too fast while teaching. She also lectured the kids when they asked doubts, telling them that interrupting the teacher was wrong, when it was actually her who was wrong. My friends stayed silent during her class, but ranted and raved about the situation ing the class group. Then, Om and Athira, who were part of that class, actually had their parents write the complaint. The complaint was taken, and the teacher never did anything wrong to my friends since then! And the best part? When the whole class heard about the news, the celebrated like kings, and virtually slapped each other on the backs. Most of the kids in PPS never did that. Like Sharav said, they'd be playing games all day.
I wondered when they would.

Never Tread This Way

-
Whoever's reading this, Please pay attention, What is in this poem, It will make you safer, I must mention. What isn't yours, Can never be yours, But if you try to poke yourself into it, My friend, Trouble may brew out of it, You see,  Let me tell you a story, I once tried to solve everyone's problems, And tried to stop a boy, But then, I became a potential target, And the problems weren't solved, Now, he hates me, but I don't, I just want him to know, I make mistakes, perfect I'm not, And those who are reading this, I'm sorry for all the terrible burdens I brought, And I'll make a wrong right, And I suggest you, too, Never tread this way, It will give you a worse plight. And yeah, also, those who are reading this and now are actually going to think I'm crazy, I hereby declare a mention to: Aarav_The_Kejiriwal

ASP: Aman, Sankalp and Prithvi

-
Aman, Prithvi and I, being selected for the show in the Top 13, become best friends immediately. We do everything together. We study together. We play carrom and Ludo together. We have food together. We even take baths together. Yeah, I know, the last one will make you all laugh, but trust me, I never had any strong bond like this. It makes me feel like I belong, instead of how I felt back in Jalandhar, where my friends saw me as an all-work-and-no-play fellow. Here, with Aman and Prithvi, I know that people work hard to keep their place in the show—and even strive for the trophy.  We have to also decide on a group name, as Aman puts it.  “Every awesome group has an awesome group name to go with it,” he says during dinner. We are serving ourselves food from the buffet line. I scoop some  daal  into a bowl, and pick two  chapattis , all prepared by the hotel. The food makes me miss Mama’s food even more.  When we go to our table and sit down, Aman prompts, “...
