Here we go again. Class 5-B.
Dagny had been accepted to a private school. It wasn't anything special and there were better schools that offered to accept him for free. But there was somebody he wanted to meet here.
Emir. He was Dagny's best friend in his first "run". They had the same dream and whilst Dagny failed, Emir went on to create a famous programming company in England.
Dagny admired his friend's success. Emir had offered him a job in his company but Dagny felt as if it was cheating. So when he died, he tried to avoid him and build his career by himself. But Dagny missed him. Over fifty years without his friend had taken its toll on him.
It was at the Introductory Camp when he decided to approach Emir. He was having a hard time putting his feet in front of the other. He sat down at the table Emir was sitting with a friend.
"Excuse me?" Emir asked.
"I am a Dagny. And you are Emir, right? We are in the same class. I thought I would come by and introduce myself."
"Oh, nice to meet you?" Emir said awkwardly.
"And you are?" asked Dagny, turning to the other boy on the table.
"Ege," he said in an annoyed voice.
"Well, what were you guys talking about?" Dagny asked.
Ege was annoyed. Who was this kid barging in on their conversation? What if they were talking about something sensitive?
"What's it to you?" Ege asked.
"Well..." Dagny couldn't figure out what to say.
" "Well..." What?"
"I will take my leave then," Dagny said. he had forgotten about Ege and how harsh he could be. He walked off and sat on another table.
I need a way to talk to Emir. I didn't think it would be this awkward. They must think I am an idiot.
He started browsing on his phone to free his mind. After sometime Emir walked up to him and sat next to him.
"I am sorry about Ege. He can be rude sometimes." Emir apologized.
"No, I deserved that. I shouldn't have barged into your conversation." Dagny said. He noticed the wallpaper on Emir's phone. It was a game they talked about when they were in middle school. "So you like AMIW?"
"Ye-ah," Emir answered, embarrassed. AMIW was not much liked by the people their age and some were bullied for it.
"I love that game. Did you watch the theory about..." Dagny started talking. Their conversation went on for the rest of the day.
They exchanged numbers after the camp ended. They promised each other to continue their conversation another day.
On the way home Dagny realized again, how much he missed him. He felt like he was the only one who understood Dagny in the world.
His eyes turned crimson and a drop of tear ran down his face.
I promise you, Emir. I will make sure both of our dreams come true.
