Chapter 1 – Beginning of New Friendship
Sam's Mother – "This boy is again going to be late for school. Hey Sam, wake up! Today is your school day, and you want to get late again?"
Sam – "Are holidays already over?"
Sam's Mother – "Come on, get ready fast. Get up."
Sam – "Mother, is my lunch box ready? I am leaving for school."
Sam is an introverted boy, 17 years old. He has very few friends in school and often bunked classes. Sam is a handsome, short-tempered, yet kind-hearted boy. In this story, we will see a strange and unique love story unfold.
Sam's Mother – "Yeah, yeah, going to leave. Last year, you also just barely passed. Sam, when are you going to start studying?"
Sam – "I am already studying."
Sam left for school. He reached the gates of New Gen Public School.
As he entered the school...
Physical Education Teacher – Miss Taylor
Miss Taylor grabs Sam's hair from behind.
Miss Taylor – "Sam, why is your hair so long? What do you think this is, some kind of club? It's school. Tomorrow, I need your hair trimmed."
Sam – "I will, ma'am. Please… please release my hair."
Miss Taylor – "Go to your class."
Sam – "Aw... yes ma'am."
Sam reaches his class and enters happily.
Sam – "Hey guys, what's up?"
Student – "Hey Sam, how were your holidays?"
Sam – "Great. What about you?"
Sam suddenly sees a new student sitting alone in the corner of the class.
Sam – "Hey, is that new?"
Student – "Yes."
Sam – "Hi, my name is Sam. Are you new?"
Ethan – "Hi, myself Ethan. Nice meeting you, Sam."
Sam – "So you are new here. What is your major?"
Ethan – "My major is Biology. And yours?"
Sam – "Mine is Math."
Ethan – "Sam, can you tell me why I am in the Math students' class?"
Sam – "You'll study common subjects with us. Only your major class will be separate from ours."
Ethan – "Okay, thank—"
Sam – "There's no need for thanks in friends."
Now Sam and Ethan have become good friends.
The next day...
Ethan – "Sam, what's up?"
Sam – "Yeah, same as always. Why do we have to come to school every day? I'm sick of this daily school loop."
Ethan – "Don't be a boomer first thing in the morning. Cheer up."
Sam – "Cheer up for what? For getting scolded by teachers and getting bored the whole day in school?"
Ethan – "If you don't want to get scolded, then you should start studying. And if you're bored, then make more friends."
Sam – "Start studying? Don't be a mom now, Ethan. And as for friends, I don't care much about others."
Ethan – "There's your weird personality."
During lunchtime...
Sam – "So Ethan, who was in your Bio class today?"
Ethan – "As always, boring. What aspect of me? I'm a single boy in Bio class with 16 girls."
Sam – "What's so hard about that?"
Ethan – "Buddy, I can't even talk to girls. I've also become an introvert like you by staying with you."
Sam – "Yeah, yeah. Come on, eat fast. Lunch time is going to be over."
Ethan – "In what hellish time did I become your friend?"
Lunchtime ends.
During the last period...
Sam – "Finally, last period."
Ethan – "Always happy to leave the school."
Teacher – "From next week, your exams are going to start. Prepare well."
Suddenly, a virus started spreading throughout the country. The government enforced safety precautions, including wearing masks, using sanitizers, and maintaining distance among people.
One week later, during exam time...
After giving the first exam...
Ethan – "Sam, how was your paper?"
Sam – "I've done everything I can. The rest is up to the teacher."
Ethan – "Great. I hope you at least pass."
Sam – "In the examination hall, every student is sitting so far from each other because of the virus—I can't even copy from anyone."
Ethan – "Yeah, wearing a mask is also so exhausting."
Suddenly, Miss Taylor hits both Ethan and Sam with a small stick.
Ethan – "Aw… Good afternoon, ma'am."
Sam – "Aw... go—good afternoon, ma'am."
Miss Taylor – "Why are you both standing so close? What now, are you immune to the virus? Can't you follow the guidelines?"
Sam – "What? Ma'am, you are also standing close to us."
Miss Taylor raises her stick.
Sam – "Sor... sorry ma'am."
Miss Taylor – "Go to your home and study for the next exam."
Sam and Ethan say goodbye to each other and leave the school.
The next morning, Sam's mother saw on the news that the government had announced that schools, workplaces, and most public activities would go under lockdown due to the rise in virus cases.
She calls the school to confirm the news, and the teacher agrees, saying the exams are postponed.
Sam – "Yes! I can sleep the whole day now!"
Sam is very happy because he doesn't have to go to school anymore.
