Those 2 girls

🍂 Start with Sweetness – My Final Year

When my senior year began, it felt like everything was slowly coming under our control — a sense of responsibility mixed with the joy of being at the top. It was a little happier, a little heavier, but truly ours to own.

Our third-year classroom felt like home. I still remember when my close friend’s birthday came around — we celebrated it outside. She brought me KitKat fillings and chicken strips, the smallest surprises that felt like the biggest gestures. That day, we laughed a little more and our bond grew a little closer.

And then there's that one unforgettable birthday of my friend in my second year, back in March. We went to Srirangam, and she bought me something sweet while I gave her chocolate in return. A simple exchange, but full of love. That same day, our Tamil mam invited us to her home and served us a delicious lunch — mutton biryani. It wasn’t just food; it was care wrapped in spice and warmth.

Those two girls — they became my comfort zone. The kind of people who don’t ask you to be anyone else but yourself. I don’t want to forget them. One of them in particular… she’s just so loving — and that kind of love doesn’t happen every day.
