How does it feel not being able to confess your love to your crush?
Ella has always been in love with her senior from the moment she laid her eyes on him. Now that it is his final semester at the college, she has no way but to gather her courage to...
"Alex, Vipin, Gokul..." I read the names of those who got selected and stopped for a moment.
I looked around and saw Cinderella at the edge of her seat.
"And...Cinderella..." I added her name at the end.

Everyone got an irritated look while Cinderella looked like she's on cloud nine.
She has a big goofy smile on her face.
"The people who got selected can sit here and other's can leave," I announced and the other people started to move, muttering and not too happy.
I turned to the 10 plus "1" member in front of me.
"I am going to split you into two groups now, its two members per team, but since we have an extra member, one team will have three-" I stopped as they all rose to their feet and started to shuffle.
And before I knew it, they all were sitting with their partners, that is-except for one.
Ella.
I didn't know what was going on as everyone was moving around.
And then, it felt like I am the only one who is sitting at the front.
I turned back slowly, Sure enough; there were 5 pairs behind me.
Michael cleared his throat, "one of the groups will have one more member," he said as all the five pairs ignored me pointedly.
"Shreya-"
"We are planning to discuss the project from my part-time place, I don't think it will be convenient for her," she said.
My eyes popped out.
My Mama will kill me if I go around for the project.
"Vipin and Alex-"
"We can't, it's hard enough to find a time that is free for both of us,"
"But I am free most of the time," I exclaimed.
"No offence, but no thanks,"
I turned around as everyone started to give excuses, nobody wanted me in their team.
"So what will we do about our extra team member?" Michael asked.
I folded my hands across my chest.
"I don't want a team, I can work independently." I said stubbornly.
If they don't want me, I am not going to beg them anyway.
"That's not possible," Michael said, "one of the teams has to accept-"
"Isn't it obvious? She's too stupid to be included in our groups, she's going to be a trouble than help," Angela said.
