Someone Somewhere Is Made For You

#11 She is stalking me

Michael.

I submitted my final year research work and walked out of the HOD's room.

I opened my phone and read the message from Cinderella in the Whatsapp group.

"Thank you!"

And there was a Smiling emoji below that.

"Yay! The princess is finally here, Cheers!"

The comment was followed by the face with rolling eyes emoji.

That was from Angela, of course.

"Looks like it's your first Whatsapp group." it was from Meera.

I sighed.

They are really childish!

I didn't even know that Cinderella was not added in the group until yesterday. I was surprised when Vipin asked the admin to add her. Looks like Angela deliberately left her out.

My phone beeped indicating a message and I opened it.

Did Cinderella send me a message?

I opened it.

It took me a few seconds to finally realise that she is asking me a doubt.

What am I going to do with her? Even her doubt is wrongly put!

I guess I should be relieved that at least she's trying.

Ella.

I pursed my lips and rested my head on the table in the library. Alex, Vipin and I were discussing the web-app before the Project class.

Alex and Vipin gave each other a look.

"What are you doing?"

"I really wonder how the heck we ended up in the same class," I said sadly. "Why don't I understand a thing you guys are discussing?"

Alex laughed.

"Take it easy, both of us used to participate in most of the tech fests," he said.

"Ooh! That's why you guys are such geniuses!" I said and got up. "Why do you take this very seriously?" I looked at them curiously.

They looked at each other again.

"Ella, Are you not serious about the project?" Vipin asked me.

Crap! I can't let them know that this is my way to chase Michael.

"Err...um, yeah, of course," I said quickly, realising the slip. "It's understandable since my grades are the worst, but you guys have very good grades,"

"Winning tech fests can add weight to our resumes," Vipin said. "We will have more opportunities and exposure,"

"Um..." I said.

"That's why we need to get this work done, Ella, Senior Michael will be leaving college this year and we won't have this opportunity again,"

"He is a legend in this field," Alex nodded. "He is pretty famous and has already been approached by many companies,"

"He is even known at the international level, He used to win every single time and most of the judges know about him,"

"Yea, he has a large fan base too," Vipin nodded. "Remember that girl from Singapore who asked for his number," he turned to Alex and both of them grinned.

"Don't remind me!"

That got my attention.

"What happened?" I asked them.
