Destined To Be

Chapter 2

Ankita's P.O.V.

I looked at the principal with my eyes widened. I have to go on stage? He looked at me determined and said, "You will do it! You don't have a choice!" I frowned with my knees trembling with fear and anxiety. "Sir...can't someone else do it? I can arrange someone," I said. "Ankita, you are coordinator, I admit, but I am your Principal and I am saying that you will be doing the honors that means, you are doing it!" he said. I didn't have courage to argue with that. Vicky came running to me and stopped in front of me panting. "What's wrong?" I asked. "You have to come with me right now!" he said. I immediately got worried and asked with fear, "But what happened?" He held my hand and pulled me with him quickly saying, "I don't have time to explain. Come quickly!" He pulled me through all the people until we reached the game stall. I looked and saw that everything was normal and turned to him asking, "Will you tell me why you brought me here?" Trying to catch his breath, he said, "I need you to take over the stall for a while." I dropped my shoulders and looked at him with a frown. Punching his arm, I said gritting my teeth, "You dog! You scared the life out of me!" "I'm sorry but I have to do some work of Mrs. D'Mello's so I have to leave the stall for a while. Can you fill in for me?" he asked. "Yeah, sure," I said, "But you could have told me this by the stage also, why did you scare me?" "You can tell me what you want later. But I really have to rush," he said. He ran away leaving me shaking my head. I went and stood inside the stall. I began collecting the playing fees and sending them to another person for the rings to play. While doing this, I began to think about Princy's words. How can I go on stage and present those gifts? My fear began to turn into annoyance with all the noise and chatting around me. While in my world of worries, I began to drift away from myself. I was brought back to my senses in a sudden manner with a huge shock. Someone dashed a huge amount of water on my face, soaking me completely. I stood in awe not being able to comprehend what had happened and before I could've, I heard a voice saying to me, "The next time you think about wetting my sister's designer dress or anyone else's, remember this."

I had an idea of who did this disgusting job. I was already annoyed and now, it has turned into anger. I opened my blurry eyes and looked at someone walking away. As he vanished into the crowd, I looked around and found all eyes on me. This was so embarrassing. I looked down at myself and saw that my entire body was dripping with water. Who the hell was that disrespectful and most inconsiderate devil? Preeti came to me and looked at me with her mouth in an o. "What happened to you?" she asked. I gritted my teeth and looked at her complaining, "Some stupid and mannerless fool did it!" Trying to calm me down, she rested her hand on my shoulder saying, "Don't worry. Go and get dry before Princy calls you on stage to present the gifts. I will take care of here." I nodded as my heart sank with remembrance of the task Princy gave me. I was walking to the washroom to try and dry up myself when I noticed someone from the corner of my eyes. It was the same guy who I bounced into earlier. I'm damn sure that he knows exactly who did this to me. I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists as I began storming up to him for answers. As I was proceeding towards him without moving my stare off him, someone came and pulled him away from there and began pulling him further away from me. I pushed my way through the crowd but unfortunately lost him. I stomped my foot on the ground with disappointment. "No worries you devil! I have an entire night to find you. I will get you!" I said and looked down at myself. I frowned and rushed to the washroom. I stood in front of the mirror and stared at myself. "What do I do now?" I asked myself. I began freezing with the wet clothes against my skin and trembled. Someone came into the washroom and went into one of the stalls but I really didn't pay attention. When the toilet flushed and she came out, she stood next to me washing her hands and I could feel her stare on me. "Serves you right for spoiling my dress," she said leaving me taken aback. I then looked at her with my eyes widened. Turning to her, I said, "Oh! So this is your payback?"
