Chapter 7~Part 2~

~Part 2- The fairy god mother's story~

The two weeks went away very quickly. We had a whole lot of fun. Like when Brad and Robyn were fighting. And suddenly Brad rushed off to S-Sir and complained! Well, Robyn is no less either, she complained to Ms Avy! And very soon both of them were fighting again. Sheesh! Where am I stuck?

Or when the time when I handed my designs to Mrs Avy and she appreciated them, so kindly that she felt like an aunt whom I knew for ages! She was very sweet.

But not that embarrassment or red face I got when "he" caught me looking at him.

Not when I felt that he was so close yet farther away...

Not, when I felt I had some stupid feelings which needed to be ignored.

It was a day before the festival. Robyn came to my house that Saturday. We both were packing our stuff for the day.

'You know what...?' I began but changed my mind, 'no nothing...'

'C'mon, tell me...'

'Well, I feel, that something's gonna happen today...'

'hmmm...its', she gave a mysterious smile, '...no nothing...'

'What?' I asked.

'Maybe I know what... hehehe... But I am not gonna tell.' She stuck out her tongue. I gave up... My mind was still heavy...

'Uh... Um.. Melissa?'

I looked up.

'Will you tell me something...? Tell, as a best friend... What are you hiding? You have been behaving strangely lately... And especially for the past three weeks... Did anything happen?'

'Well... first you tell me if you like Brad...' I muttered out without even thinking.

'What?' I guess I saw her blush.

'No, seriously...as a friend...you can trust me...or if you don't...'

'why would you think so?' She sighed, and after a lot of persuasion, 'okay I give up... I did think he was... um... sort of nice... back some time... and he is so good to me.... indirectly I mean... so it was... well long back... but now I he...behaves differently now... so well...'

I smiled at her.

'Now your turn...'

I sighed. Okay, she is my best friend, and I am gonna tell her everything. 'You see...I really trust you, so...' I began.

After an hour~

'And so, now we are not even looking at each other, and my head is going crazy...' I sobbed. 'Hey, are you even listening?'

She looked at me strangely. Oh no! I recognised this look.

'OMG! Mel!', she said, all star-eyed like mom. 'Your life is a dream... I love it!!!'

I gulped, 'you too?' Then I sighed.

'Sorry, I get a bit dramatic sometimes...' BIT? I looked at her.

'Okay, more than a "bit". But know what? I think things will turn out good. You know, its not an assurance, I feel it truly...'

I nodded. Then I decided to change the topic.

'Hey, tell me more about the... dance...?'

'Oooo!' She jumped up in spirit. 'I love that part... You know it happens every 7 years, I am so happy its this year too! You see there's a legend in our school. See, many years back, our school had its annual dance. There was a girl, name unknown , in high school, just like us! Yea, our age too. Well since it was long back, they didn't have much cool themes, so they decided on a masquerade ball. Well, you know, she was that type, shying from outside but very different from inside. Well, this ball was a dream to her. She saw "him", and they danced... The ball ended and everybody went back. But she realised, she was in love... The next day she tried to search for her prince everywhere, but couldn't find him. Nobody recognised the handsome guy, with the softest smile and the shiniest eyes ever. She was left broken-heart. Days passed, she graduated. So many years already, huh? Then after some years, they had a get together party. They decided to have a masquerade ball again... With the no slightest clue what to do, she decided to sit under the great cherry blossom tree. There she was waiting under the moonlight, with the shining stars and the sweet sakura flowers. And suddenly there he was standing like an angel. She couldn't believe it... She was so happy. She sent this message to the school secretly and it got published in the school paper. Everyone liked it so much that they decided to have this as a theme. You know, our school gives us dresses and even wigs to wear, so that we all have a chance to be the angel. Nobody's allowed to reveal who they are. And if you find your angel, you search for him or her... And if you find her or him, you secretly submit a letter to the paper, in a magical way, just as the real one and its gets written in a special book. Just imagine, proof of love, forever bound.' She sighed, dreamily.

I couldn't help but think of "him", my him... The softest smile and the shiniest eyes. He was him! He was my angel... I shuddered and changed my thoughts. I am actually going crazy/

'K...'

'K? I told you such a tale and all you tell is K? Don't you wanna be called the 'secret princess'?'

She looked in my eyes, and somewhat understood.

'Oh... "him"...? I am sorry...'

'No... there is something... ah! Just forget it. Lets just think about tomorrow, k? Its gonna be awesome, right?'

'yea.' She pretended to change the topic.

Actually there is something I don't remember... But which is connected to the story... but what? I couldn't remember.
