‘Being a cupid is hard especially when the two persons u r shipping definitely like each other but have no idea about their feelings.’ 

Yess I knew
and probably even Tania 

They make it so damn obvious anyone would know 

And even if Reyansh knows his feelings Ruhi will not realize it any time soon but….. It would work with some sparkles by the cupid. 

That's exactly what I wanted to do,
sprinkle some glitter in my bestie’s boring boring life.

Yesterday I teased Reyansh a bit… definitely he found out I know something. 

The recess got over and there was still no word from him. 

I guess I should team up with his classmate- Shaan.

Maybe he knows something. 

But before I could talk to him, Reyansh pulled me aside and whispered "You know?"

I wanted to laugh at his face but I controlled.

"About what? "

He knew I was just teasing him

So I told him very clearly 

"It is so damn obvious that half of the school knows."

"Omg really? does she know?"

"Nah she is dumb in this case" 

I laughed at him so much he really thought he was hiding it pretty well.

The whole day he was so blank I couldn't help but laugh.

Now it was time for the cupid to start shooting her arrows but she had no idea how to make the absolutely dumb Ruhanika understand what was going on around her.

Anyways I just needed to find a perfect group for a perfect start to mission Ruhanika and Reyansh.

Candidates for mission Ruhi and Reyansh 

No.1 – Tania :

Who other than the cousin would know Ruhi’s true feelings( me of course I'm her bestie but the sister factor was here necessary ).

No.2– Shaan :

Just a fun factor in the process nothing else.

No.3– Ved :

We should add Reyansh’s best friend too…..just a formality.

And last but not the least Ruhi’s bestie 

Me - The Erica.

Now I just had to talk to them.

                                   A week later

“Do u guys realize we are not ready with anything yet…. The fest is in 3 weeks we have limited time with us we have to perform a total of 7 songs and 4 songs are yet to be decided.do u even understand the seriousness of it ????” I screamed at the top of my voice while everyone stared at me demented.

“Now no more fun during practices and nobody is going out today unless we finish 1 song completely, now instrument people get ready with our instruments and the rest can practice their vocals we are starting in 5 mins.” I continued and walked out of the room and sat on the stairs beside the room and drank a bottle of water at a gulp.

“Erica, u okay?” Ved came out and asked.

“Well do I look okay?’ I asked him politely yet rudely.

“Well well calm down don't get ur anger out on someone else

Tania said.

“Well it wouldn't have happened if this guy's friend did not come and pick up a fight with me,” I said implying it to Ved.

“Woah woahh he is not my friend he is just a captain nobody likes Don't worry he is just a blabbermouth” Ved replies.

That wasn't the point the whole point was I did have a fight with the captain of Ved's school and he just stated facts about our group doing badly at rehearsals and that made me mad and I just did not know how to handle them since I cannot say anything cause they are my friends which makes us reach nowhere around other groups who have already completed everything and are moving on to perfection.

I wanted to say all this to them but kept quiet and smiled.

“Come on we have plenty of time for practice but when are we going to do anything about Ruhi and Reyansh?” Ved asked.

“Oh shit I totally forgot about that part,” I said.

“Don't worry she was going to come with us to u rn but I told her to help Reyansh to set up everything instead
I did well right.” Tania said.

We all smiled and went back inside.

It was like we were all in it without even discussing it.

“Chocolates anyone?” Reyansh asks everyone to change the environment.

He usually had tons of chocolates in his bag and no no no he did not buy it himself to give it out to us but it was given to him by all his fangirls(tons of them).

We all ate chocolates and started to have fun as usual forgetting our practice……again. 

But in the end, it's just me who goes “Oh no we did not practice .... Again ”

But ya days went by
we started having fun and banged our rehearsal performances too shutting down all the well-wishers.

A week later

“But ma'am 4 songs are already rehearsed and practiced the rest 3 songs will be preceded with the minute you approve it,” I said to the head coordinator and I don't think she was very happy.

“Ok ok but the other groups are already done with their full performance when will you be done just 2 more weeks left and the interschool sports events have to take place too there wont be much time on your hands u need to prepare everything in 3 days or else your group is getting canceled from the events,” she replied and walks off.

The team members were trying to listen to our conversation from a distance and as soon as she left they came to me.

[awkward silence]

“Yes, I got chewed out…..again,” I said  

Another minute of awkward silence

“You’ll going to say something ?” I asked

“I don't know are u going to chew us if we say something?” Ved replied in a humorous way

Tania gives him real death stares and says no time for jokes and pulls me inside the practice room.

And we all sit quietly thinking about what to do next.

We all decided to sought out the songs and get them approved today itself.

Reality hits it hard on everyone thinking how would we get everything done in 3 days.

“We will have to meet after school too I can see no other option,” Shaan said.

“Wow, dude how did a guy like u come up with such a good idea?” Reyansh said making everyone in the room laugh.

“Well well sometimes this brain works too” he replied humorously again making everyone roll on the floor laughing.

No matter how hard, sad or tragic a moment is we would always start laughing.

“So guys it's lunch break head coordinator is only free till the next period what to do?” Ruhi asks

‘Let's just take time…half of us can sought out the song and order first and the rest of them can eat the other half will eat the next half and vice versa” Tania said.

“So fine Ruhi and Reyansh do the work first since the rest of them are hungry you guys will manage right?” I asked slyly

“ yaa but only the two of us….” Ruhi tried saying something but I cut her saying okayy then buh byee and I pulled everyone out of the room and everyone laughed and ran away.
