Being Enthralling

15.Umm Hmm

Something is definitely wrong with Blake.

It's been a week now since he last showed up at the ground.

For months he used to come there regularly and now he stopped just like that?

And on top of it, he is ignoring me like a mosquito!

I don't know why but I feel like April has something to do with this.

But why he is doing this? It is clear that he is going through something and I wanted to know. 

Whatever situation he is in he doesn't want me to know.

And that shit hurts.

After attending all the lectures I wait back to give my interview for the drama club.

I hope this will go well.

"Hello, I'm here to give an interview for the drama club."

"Yes, please just wait a moment."

"Sure"

I wonder how much this student council head is busy that she has to keep an assistant.

"Miss Forbes please go to the Main auditorium for your interview."

Now, this is giving me anxiety attacks.

Why the main auditorium?

Why auditorium?

Isn't this a simple interview?

At least they could have said to me about the auditorium thing beforehand.

"You okay?"

Taking few deep breaths I nodded.

"Okay, should I show you the way?"

"I know the way, thank you."

My heart is thumping so loudly that the sensation can be felt in my ears too.

I stopped in front of the auditorium door.

I can do this.

I'm a good actor.

I'm good at this.

Be confident.

One more time taking a deep breath I pull the door and enter the auditorium.

It's not the first time that I'm coming to the main auditorium I've participated in many events and have done few skit plays.

But the difference is, in that I was always in a group and here I'm alone.

Though in many of the events I took the lead, there is a difference between presenting your group and presenting yourself.

Everyone around me thinks that it's easy for me to stand up and say anything which comes to mind because I'm an extrovert.

However, very few people understand that how much courage I need to stand up for something.

I know I am when it comes to public speaking, but there is a thin line between giving your opinion and representing yourself.

I can give my opinions without any fear,  when it comes to representing myself I get nervous.

"I remember you."

I was so busy with my inner thoughts that I don't remember how I ended up standing in front of the council head, with a smile she continued "Diana, You've participated in many of the events and in skits too."

Say something don't stand like a fool.

Say something!

"You are also an active volunteer of Carrington  Foundation right?"

"Yes"

Seriously? I managed to say only a yes?

"I've seen your documentary in carnival fest too it was mind-blowing your acting was very fine I liked it."

"I'm glad you liked it." With a smile I said.

"You don't even have to give an interview I know your skills you are a perfect fit for the club"

I don't have to give an interview?

Was my skit so good?

Wow, I don't know what to say now.

With an awkward smile, I said or asked  "Thank you?"

"So what made you think to join the drama club?"

"I wanted to do something constructive and joining drama will also help me to enhance my skills so I made my mind to join in."

"Great!"

After a few seconds of pause, she said "Just do one thing Mail your documentary or any short film that you've worked in so that I can show it to the club members."

Wow, that's it? No more questions?

"So am I selected?"

"Of course you are!"

Huh, I was panicking for nothing.

"Okay, then I should take my leave thank you so much for giving me the chance."

"You deserve it, just mail me your documentary and I'll send you the details regarding the sessions."

Whatever self-deprecating thoughts I had vanished for a moment.

I did it.

I got it.

Wow.

I was heading towards my home when I got a call from my mom,

"Hello mommy"

"Where are you?"

"Within 5 minutes I'll at home.

I know I should have informed you earlier that I was going to wait back at college, but I GOT THE SHOT MOMMY I'm in the drama club now!"

"Hmm, I told you you'll get that honey."

Wait, did she just said honey?

"Okay Mother what you want me to get for you"

"Okay please get milk and some vegetables and if possible-"

"I don't have enough money to bring much"

"Ummm hmmm, no problem just get milk BYE!"

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

After 15 minutes I was at my doorstep with the milk carton in my hand so that my mother won't force me to keep it in the refrigerator myself.

I don't know what theory she has to make me do all these little chores so that I may lose some weight.

I rang the doorbell and was waiting for her to open the door.

The door opened.

But the person who opened the door isn't my mother,

"What the fuck are you doing at MY HOME?!"
