I was walking down the corridor, books for my next class in hand. Even in all the commotion, I didn't hear a thing. It was as if my ears didn't want to respond. And that is when I heard a faint voice. "Stella!" Someone was calling me. All of a sudden, I came out of my trance and the chaos around became alive for me. I started looking around and I found Musa and Hawk racing towards me waving their hands.
"What? Do you need a hearing aid? We have been calling out for you you been? We were looking for you." Only after Musa's breakdown did I realize that I had completely zoned outyou mean, Hawk?" "I mean that you have been lost since that incident. It has hit us all badly but I don't know why it is affecting you so much. We will figure out what happened but until then you will have to continue with your daily routine. You can't just zone out like that."
Hawk was right. I don't know why it has affected me so much but I have to find a way out of this 'zone out' process. I need a distraction and what better than my friends.
Hawk, Musa and .... I mean, only Musa and Hawk. They have been my friends from childhood. They know me all too well. We live in the same apartment, used to go to the same school, played in the same playground and now here we are, The Imperial College of Engineering.
Stella - I know Hawk and I will try my best, I promise. Anyways, why were you looking for me?
Musa – Okay, listen to this very carefully. The ICE Annual Cultural Fest is due next month.
Stella – Uh okay ... So???
Musa – Did you just ask me 'so', "SO"? You're unbelievable, Stel. Ughhh!!!
Hawk – Calm down Musa. Let me explain. What Musa means to say is that you have to give a brilliant performance for the fest and don't deny the fact that you can put up a great show. So, what is your take on it?
Musa – I am not going to hear a 'no' from your side. You need a distraction or else you will blow up your mind and ours also, for that matter of fact.
Stella – Okay but on one condition ... this year WE are going to do this and not me. Take it or leave it.
Musa – Count me in! And what about you Hawk?
Hawk – I don't think I have got much of a choice against you ladies. Let's do this!
