What is a protagonist?

When we hear the word 'Hero', what comes to mind? A person wearing a fancy and cool dress with or without a cape, hiding their real identity, saving the world, etc.

‘Protagonist’ Now, when we hear this word, what do we think?

If you enjoy fantasy stories, then you will think about a person who is higher than the average person. He or she may or may not have some kind of secret power, which may be, for some reason, overpowered, or that person may be some kind of genius.

And if you enjoy normal stories, you will think of someone who is normal at first but, under certain circumstances, will gradually rise to the position of protagonist.

Lastly, if you enjoy romance-comedy stories like me, you will think of someone who meets their partner of their life either in awkward situations or in some hilarious way.

Now, you may be wondering, Why am I asking these silly questions? Well, that is something even I want to ask myself. It doesn’t matter anyway if I ask these types of questions or not, or whether you answer these questions or not. What I am saying is that this is a story of mine in which there are main characters and their potential future partners engaging in their day-to-day lives, either enjoying their lives or getting themselves into some kind of trouble. We will also see their friends, because they also play some kind of major role in their lives at some point.

Now, you may be wondering: What is my part in this story? Am I a main character? Definitely not. Am I a friend of the so-called protagonists? Who knows? I may or may not be one. All that I know is that I am not the protagonist of this story. Why, you may wonder? It’s because I was never that type of person to begin with. I live a normal quiet life, you may even call me as a mob character or a background character. Well, I say I live a quiet life, but that is only applicable when I am in home. When I am outside it’s not quiet at all, the daily travelling through bus, meeting some new people while travelling.

It’s quite exhausting. And it will get more exhausting from now on, that’s because I have started my college this year. I have to commute 1 hour daily to reach my college. Sometimes I wonder why on this earth there are no colleges nearby my house, only if there were any, I could have saved extra time. And with that extra time, I could have played games. What did you think? That I will use my extra time for some useful work, nope I refuse to do so. I love playing games whether it's on mobile phones or on computers, so I want to utilize as much of time for games. Most of the time, I play Single player games. Why? Because I have no friends. Yes, folks, you heard that right. I have no friends for some reason, when I say it myself it does a whole another level of emotional damage. But this life gotta suck it up and move on.
