Pete

Honestly, I don't even know where to begin.

I met Pete 2 years ago through my best friend Rex and ever since then, We've been inseparable. I met him on a day when I skipped class. I was with a bunch of other people at this common hangout spot for Josephites called Hashtag and since I was the only person there from a different college, I stood out like a sore thumb.

Rex showed up and we were heading somewhere when he introduced me to Pete.

Pete is a properly built dude. His hair was and is the same to this day, Always short. We were walking through Church Street when we started speaking to each other and we hit it off instantly. We hit it off in a way where it felt like we had known each other for years. That day was fun.

After a week, We met again, And this time we met at a cafe called ThirdWave. We shared a few conversations and we started vibing over how good black coffee is compared to coffee with milk and we did all this while sharing a single cup of Espresso. We also discussed our workout routine if I remember correctly.

I got a text from Pete after we had just received our 2nd PU results and he informed me that he would be moving temporarily to Mangalore to continue his studies. I felt low at the time because we had bonded with each other considering the very little time we had to spend. But nevertheless, I was happy that he would be living life on his own and I was proud that he had gotten into a good university.

All this even though I was bummed out that I wouldn't get to meet him as often as we did.

We went out cycling every time he came back to Bangalore for his holidays. We would get coffee and smoke a couple of cigarettes at the Airlines hotel before we headed back home and I will always look forward to this when he comes back to Bangalore again.

Pete has become more of my brother than a friend and this year we made it possible so that I could meet him in Mangalore and we sure did have loads of fun over there. I felt sad that I had to come back to Bangalore but the time spent with Pete was absolutely worth it.

Friendship is all about making memories that are everlasting and with Pete, It never fades away. 

Pete, If you're reading this, I love you.
