Chapter 1 - CHAPTER 1 : PURSUIT OF BELONGING

Everything began in high school, A fifteen year old boy named Vikram who was fresh from his heartbreak from his one side love decided to be cold and emotionless to avoid such pain again....

From his childhood he had always been an introvert ,always less social ...and anxious before people.In his eleventh grade he decided to join a notorious gang of his class who felt like cool guys always having fun and always receiving attention from all teachers and girls....

Vikram was in desperate need of recognition and a sense of belonging . But the gang were already content with the members they had so they were reluctant to accept him as a member but he tried to get himself into the gang .He faced a lot of embarrassments ,insults in the process but the thirst for belonging never let him give up.....he would try to gain some secret information about a member from another member who has a big mouth ...which he could use at the right time and place to show he also knows stuff and belong here ....and to prove he was in sync with their wavelength

Eventually ,he was started getting included in the gang ...hanging out with them even when he did not want to.

A year passed like this and at the end of the year ,their school decided to organize a field trip to a nearby state . Vikram was happy to go to the field trip because he would get to enjoy with his gang do fun things gaining attention from girls and bond more with others in the gang. Although the start of the trip was to his liking ....it soon took a turn ....he was left out by everyone in the gang ....like he never mattered to them. When they reached a park everyone were taking photos and roaming together but Vikram was all alone . As he was roaming he saw two of the gang members going towards a view point to take selfies....As he started walking towards them thinking he finally got a chance to be in a photo with them , the two guys just pushed him away saying you are not needed in this photo . After hearing that Vikram was devastated.....he realized that he was never part of the gang ....he was always an outsider only included when they were bored . Vikram went back to their bus and sat inside alone .He then spent most of his time in the trip alone seeing all the others having the time of their lives .

After returning from the trip he never wanted to be a part of the gang anymore .He started being quiet and isolated again for half a year . But just as he began to lose hope on being seen and belonged again , A miracle happened in his twelfth grade

The class teacher began changing places of the students in the class for the new school year and A girl named Sarah was made to sit in a place before Vikram .Both of them have been studying in the same school for a long time but they were always just classmates till then .

That day ....for an unknown reason something forced Vikram to try talking to a girl again after being cold and isolated for a while .Little did he know it was an important point of time in his life
