The Daydreamer

Chapter 6

As Rhea steps inside the campus, she is elated to begin her new journey with new twists and turns.

"Excuse me! I am Rrrhea Sharma. The I-card and the ccclass schedule will be allotted here right?" Rhea enquired at the admin office.

"Show a copy of your fee receipt" said the lady at the window adjusting her spectacles.

After verifying the particulars she handed over the I card and class schedule to Rhea.

"1st class is about to start in 5 minutes. Where will be room 108!" Rhea talked to herself while searching for her class

After searching the corridors and asking people...

"Ah! There it is.."

Just as Rhea was rushing into the room, she bumped into someone and they both fell on ground!

"Wtf! Are you blind or what?" said Sid angrily

"Oh hello! You also impinged... can't you watch your sssteps!!"

"Look you..."

"What are you two doing outside? Come inside or I'll mark you both absent" the professor shouted

Giving each other a look of disgust, they both got into the class.

While leaving the room after the class..

"Hi! I am Priya. What's your name?"

"Hey! I am Rrrhea."

"I didn't understand half of the class yar! I don't even have a guitar. I am a sitar player but they've given me guitar lessons as an add on! Can you help me with the lessons please!"

"Sure. I have a guitar. And it'll be fun to learn together" said Rhea

"Cool! Arey we have 20 minutes for the next lesson. Want to check out the cafeteria?" asked Priya

"Of course! I am hungry too. Let's go"

***********

In the campus ground an announcement caught their attention..

"The most prestigious college fest is here! Anybody... Literally anybody can sign up for the audition! Solo/band, classical/pop.. All kinds of participants are welcome! Top two winners will be given a chance to record their album! Register now..."

"Hey! This looks like something exciting. But, we are just freshers. How will we able to compete with all those top notch singers. Let's go." Priya was about to leave when Rhea pulled her back and said, "I want to ppparticipate in this!"

"What?? Are you mad? It's not a cakewalk. And we don't even know the basics, forget about performing!"

"Ccclassroom teaching will help in the basics. But rrreal music comes ssstraight from the heart. I never sssaid that I will win.. But if I dddon't give it a try then I would never know whether I cccan win or not!"

"Rrrhea Sharma" "Siddharth Mehra" the two of them shouted simultaneously to get their names registered.

"You again! What will you do in this fest? It's for those who have talent! Not for the weak babe" mocked Sid

"Weak or ssstrong.. We'll see on ssstage in the cccompetition." Rhea said smiling with confidence

"Oh right! So how are going to introduce yourself on stage... like I am R-R-R-Rhea" Sid laughed and hi-fived one of his friends

Rhea took a deep breath!

Relax Rhea. You have to face such people. You can't let him mock you!

"Why are you so bbbothered about my performance? It seems you are ssscared of this ssstammering girl!" Rhea answered his rudeness with her smartness

And both of them parted their ways...
