Consolidation and Presentation: (Write in Hints mode)

• The story "The mystery of the Cyber Friend" is woven around a thirteen-year-old girl named Shree. Shree's parents wanted her to learn computer, so they were happy to see her using a computer and spending time on it.

 

• Shree's aunt also resides with them; she takes care of her while both of Shree's parents worked. Shree's aunt prepares delicious food for her most of the times, which she often discusses with her net friends. Shree's net friends made fun of it one day, and thus she blocked their contacts. When Shree regretted for having blocked them and was about to apologise, she had a friend request from an unknown person named Chaitra.

 

• Shree was impressed with the profile picture of Chaitra and accepted her request since the picture belonged to a girl of Shree's age. The problem began there. Chaitra's messages on friendship began to create a magical spell on Shree. Shree's thoughts were around Chaitra and her exceptional friendship messages. When Shree asked about Chaitra's school, she said it was close to hers, which was not true.

 

 

 Chaitra slowly created a strong friendship bond between them and offered Shree a camera mobile. Also, Chaitra asked Shree to come alone to collect the mobile from the Katpadi railway station. When Shree messaged Chaitra that she hadn't seen any school near her school, Chaitra went offline without replying.
