Friendship Cause Heartbreaks Too

Chapter -11

After the event, we took the exams. 

And because I didn't study all those days, my result was 50%. My parents were mad at me and disappointed too. I was hating it, but couldn't do anything about it. I just had to face it.
I promised myself to work hard next time.

And this time, Ms. Josie too, was assigned to us. She had masters degree in Chemistry. I started working hard, in every subject. She was unknowingly helping me.
And at the same time, I kept my focus on extra curriculum too. I was learning to manage my time and focus simultaneously. My interest in studies was back.

Suddenly, one day, Ms. Josie came to the class and announced there was a 'Mono Acting' contest and she looked at me, and said, "You're participating". And I was like, "Really? Am I?" I didn't say it, my expressions did.
And after looking at my face, she said it again with more emphasis.

Trust me when I say, I didn't even know the 'A, B, C' of Mono Acting. I was completely blank. I told her this and she said, "I'll tell you everything and I'm the in-charge for it. Don't worry"
That was all it took me to say, "Okay"

There was an organisation that used to organise all these contests for school fellows. Everyone under 19 years of age could participate. There were so many contests, Mono Acting, Dancing, Singing, Writing, Declaration, Painting, Sketching, Crafting.. and many more. It usually goes on for almost a month, and the announcement is made 2-3 weeks before.
It's purpose was to discover the hidden talent of the students and to give them the opportunities to move ahead.

Ms. Josie told me all about it. One person was supposed to play all the roles mentioned in the script. Change of tone, pitch, expressions, every detail was important. 
I was given the script with only one role, though. It was the role of 'Earth'.

I was the earth. Angry at human beings for destroying her. Angry at them for making her suffer. She was in pain and humans were to be blamed, nobody else. I really liked the script. It was intense and very emotional. All the dialogues were powerful. 

And the props to be used were red color for the human blood that was spilled, and a flower that was to be crushed by my own hands, with a little crazy, angry and devilish emotions and expressions.

The script was somewhat like this...

"I am earth. The beautiful, rare, exquisite earth."
(I was wearing white clothes, with bright green colored scarf. Flowers in my hair. I had a calm, serene and content expressions. I was reminiscing the good times, swaying a little and twirling, showing my flowers off.) 

"Or at least I was."
(And then, my calm expressions slowly turned into a frown, as if bad memories coming to my mind. My expressions turning painful.)

"I was known as heaven. Was? Yes, was!"
(Those painful expressions turned furious. I was mad at everyone.)

"Because, YOU, OH HUMAN! YOU!"
(The judges were sitting right in front of me. I pointed at them with furious glare and yelled at them.)
