Love at first fight.

Chapter 4

Nandini's POV

                
                  "Both the teams are on the same score and the next team who'll make the goal will be the winner!"I heard the commentary as I entered the stadium.I was shocked at how many people where here to see the match.No doubt there was so less students in the class.Seems like this match is very important because I
thought I saw the principal of the college.I never saw him in person but he was exactly how chacha described him to be.He was tall and around 45 or 50 but was well maintained with lean body and spects on his nose.I quickly started to look around for chacha but it was difficult as the stadium was full.I searched for him and struggled through the crowd till I was near to the ground where match was going on.Now I was on the first row and then I spotted him.He was on the opposite side of me and he too spotted me as he waved his hand at me.I gestured him to come to my side as I didn't wanted to go through the crowd once again.Chacha smiled and gestured me to wait as he started making way through the crowd.After a lot of struggle Chacha was finally three seats ahead of me.

                He was tired and was shaking his head in no.He bent to his knees and was out of breath.I don't think he had any idea of how full today stadium was going to be.Still it was his worst decision of till now.I felt pity for him and gestured him to throw the bracelet so that I'll catch it.He wasn't far from me so I guess I can catch it right?

          Chacha looked at me hesitantly for few seconds but he did it anyway.Just as he threw the bracelet it came  flying to me and the moment I thought I got it the girl beside me hit it with the cardboard which she was using for cheering.I looked at her angrily and within seconds I bent down and started searching for the bracelet.I heard a few gasps and Ohhh's and stadium went silent for few seconds.Looks like someone was about to loose the match.I got up and looked at Navya who was watching the match with so much interest and I wondered if even she knew on who's side she was.I ignored her and again started searching for it and the stadium was suddenly echoed with a lot of cheering from the audience.

             But I still didn't found it..seems like luck wasn't on my side.I just lost my lucky charm..my bracelet.The last time I lost it ...it gave me a nightmare for a lifetime and now it seemed to be running away from me.This made me question myself was it even lucky for me?I looked at Chacha with defeat who was already looking at me with pity and guilt in his eyes.What's happening today?I sighed and thought to myself as I dragged myself and Navya out of the stadium.

Manik's POV

                  "This is one hell of a day!"kabir shouted as he came running beside me.This was a record in itself as we were on same score as "SMASHERS".Yup that's what they called thier team while we were "FAB11"."I know!" I replied to kabir in same loud tone as his.Never had our college scored against them as they always kept us on start while they finished the match.We never had a chance against them.But today was different. This is our day.

                I took control of the ball with my legs as I started to run defending myself from the two players  who were trying to snatch it from me.After I was at safe distance from them I looked at the cheering crowd and I stood there for a second with my right leg on the football while my hands gesturing them to cheer.The next second I started to run and slipped over something that made me fall to the ground.This earned

gasps and ohhh's and silence fell upon the audience as the opponents took this as perfect opportunity to take the ball and just like that...GOAL!!!
