Chapter 7: The Opportunity

We reached college earlier than I expected and Riya and Nikhil went to their respective blocks as they had an early morning class leaving me and Reyan by ourselves. I decided to show Reyan around till we meet Mehr who messaged me that she would reach by 9 and it was still 8:30. I showed him some classrooms, labs and the faculty cabins. We reached the area where the notice board was and I saw a crowd gathering in front of it. I stepped forward curiously towards the board when someone tapped on my shoulder. I turned and saw Mehr, she looked different, her hair once shoulder long hair were in a bob cut with red highlights on the tips of her hair. She wore a green sleeveless top was hugging her figure showing off her tanned athletic figure and she wore her dark blue pencil fit jeans and brown ankle boots.

"Have a look at the board, and don't hit me afterwards." She said giving me a push.

Why would I hit her, I looked at Reyan with a confused expression who was more confused than me, I motioned him to wait till I return and explain him everything and he nodded.

I pushed through the crowd of students towards the board, as I reached in front I saw the notice was regarding the Annual Presentation, it was like an annual function we had in schools but more like a fest. The notice said something about various activities and events taking place in the presentation, besides that , there was a notice from the drama club, they were the results of the script writing, costume designing and lyric writing competition; I started looking away from the board when my eyes stopped on my name on a list.

It said I won the script writing competition; bewildered I quickly made way out of the crowd and returned to where Reyan and Mehr were standing.

"What's up?" Reyan asked curiously,

"There is a notice saying I won the script writing competition" I said still dazed by the fact.

"Oh wow, congratulations!" He said with a big smile.

"Yeah thanks, but I never participated" I said still confused.

Then I realized what Mehr said about not hitting her, I turned towards her.

"What is it all about?" I asked her.

"You won't submit the story so I did" She said proudly.

"Why?" I asked her "It was not meant for the competition" I whined.

"The story was too good and you know that, anyways it looked like a play to me so on the last day before vacations I stole it from your bag and submitted it to Anika." She said as a-matter-of-factly.

"Gosh and I thought I lost it. I wish I had." I mumbled. "Why Mehr, I don't want to do it." I whined again.

"You will. Come on, you have to come out of your shell one day and this is the best opportunity. You are so talented why not show everyone." She pressed.

Mehr was right, but writing was just a hobby, I never thought I could get selected and then I realization hit me I got selected for the annual play. My story got selected to be performed!
