4 CHAPTER-4

Place – class 11 A

My heart was beating hard, next 3 minutes will put my career at set or put it on stake. I was siting there holding Yoona's hand. Mr. Lee continued further, "So, let me tell you'll out of 40 votes, 10 votes were for kris which are not valid. 2 votes for twins but they weren't candidates so that's invalid too. Now, let's talk about our candidates." Even before, Mr. Lee could complete the sentence, class began to scream with Tan's name which made me very upset. Somewhere in the heart I could feel my defeat.

"Students, don't make unnecessary noise. let me announce first! Lian, you got 3 votes and Tan got 35 votes. So, our new class president is 'Tan Kabra'."

I couldn't hear anything after the word 3 votes. I began deaf for some time. All I had was sense to see happy people around and nothing else. My whole dream flashed in front of me. tears gathered in my eyes like clouds before rain.

"If I hadn't felt ill last years my grades wouldn't be so less and I wouldn't had to become class president now. If I fail to get at least 790 /800 this year I wouldn't go to S.M university next year and my dream would stay incomplete. If I fail to complete my dream …. I will." I said to myself.

My senses were back and I could Mr. Lee giving the class president batch to Tan. I would have been there if Tan wasn't in my class. Mr. Lee then looked at me and waved to come out. I came out of my place and walked towards him. He handed me a batch. I looked at it with curiosity. 'ASST. CLASS PRESIDENT 'I read half relieved and tensed. I forgot that I and Tan were only the candidates so If I won't become Class president, I will become Asst. Class president. Asst. Class president also gets 50 marks extra in terms but only when Class president would sign the approval letter. I was feeling better but also, I was thinking about Tan. Will he give 50 points? I have to do my best so that he would sign it at the end of term. This was the only way for me to increase my grades and get admitted to S.M university. 'I have to seize this opportunity!' I said to myself smiling at Tan who was just standing beside me.

Now, it was only one thing I was thinking; How to impress Tan. I looked at him attentively. After some time, school was over. Today, was half day; so, we left early. I was walking out of the school when we heard that same pale boy calling with my name. I asked him the reason and he told us that Tan was waiting for me on the school terrace. I was surprised as to why that piece of cheesy smile was waiting for me on the roof top. I and Yoona headed towards the terrace. When we reached the terrace, we were a bit astonished. Mr. Tan was doing his fan meet there. There was a nice table and chair arranged with juice and breakfasts. When Tan saw us, he waved some tin got other boys and they began to take all the girls surrounded at the terrace for fan meeting out of terrace. One of them even, tried to take Yoona away but I scolded them. Within 5 minutes, terrace was cleared.

"Please, have seat Ms.." he said.

"I am Ms. Lian Dias." I introduced myself.

"Oh! Yeah. Ms. Lian. I am Tan Kabra."

"And you are?" he added looking at Yoona.

"Yoona! "She screamed with excitement.

"So, MS. Lian I have called you here to tell your duties." he continued further.

After 45 minutes of intense meeting, I came to know that Tan was just a brat kid and nothing else. Literally, he had told me ever duty of class president to be done by Asst. Class president. He was the totally brat off course he knew that at the end of semester Class president has given evaluation for Asst. class president, so I can't even deny him. But there is no other way for me, then to agree with everything he says to me to be done. I and Yoona left from there straight after the meeting.

"Yoona, did you see how he treated us there?" I said to Yoona.

"Yes! He's a true gentleman. He had arranged everything to make this meeting comfortable. Now, I have started liking him more." she replied.

"I was talking about how he told me to do ever work and not about how he arranged everything!" I explained to Yoona.

"So what, it's your duty. You are getting extra marks because of Tan at end so you need to do at least this much for him ." she answered still taking his side.

I don't know what should I do of my friend – Yoona. She is not understanding my problems and just fangirling that stupid, 'JUST OK' looking guys every time. She wouldn't be like this if Kris didn't reject her. Actually, before Tan joined to J.Y.J High school; Kris was the one who Yoona used be Kris's fangirl but she took this far and proposed him a dot rejected. After that she didn't came back to school for next 2 weeks and when she came; she turned herself into his hater. According to some people, Tan was a new popular boy other then Kris and so Yoona started to fangirl him. I afraid for that day when Yoona will propose Tan and he will reject her.

I reached back home, after a long terrifying and tiring day. Since morning whatever I thought happened exactly opposite of it. But then to I am happy that I am at least Asst. Class president, so that I can still get those 50 marks. I went back to my bed after changing. I was in a good sleep until I heard the door bell. Since, I was alone at home there was none other who can go and open the door. I wake up from my bed somehow overcoming my laziness and headed towards that door. I opened the door and there one lady with a huge box wrapped in gift paper in her hand. I looked at her face, she was smiling towards me.

"Hello! I am Grace."

"Hi! I am Lian." I wished her back.

"Actually, we just shifted in your neighboring apartment. So, I came to greet." the lady answered back politely.

Our neighboring apartment was empty since many years and recently somebody bought it; I heard my mom talking to former owner.
