104 Magazine Sorted

These days alongside the internals and other exams new events are coming up. New events like Cultural fest selection and practices, tech fest and web magazine publishing. I was highly interested in the last event.

I can write and draw more or less decently. The best part was Sky was ready to support me. Although I gave him a rough draft, that idiot read out in such a funny and loud manner that I was dumbstruck. This time I truly desired to dig a pit and stay there and not to come up. Lacy on the other hand was tense about brother Henry's result which was going to be out today. One thing after the other was occurring.

In this heap Husky added a bit more salt by asking me to read his story and to translate it in English.

Actually he is proficient in his native language which I knew as well but I was more or less decent in English. I nodded. Sky started his amusement park of jokes.

He started, "Cool down Sonnet. Cool down just like your father said. "

"One more thing Sunny, Why didn't you add an extra line " I sat beside a b**ch on the first day of college. " "

I exclaimed, "Sky, I know you are pointing at Lacy but she wasn't the one who sat beside me that day. "

Lacy didn't listen thankfully, otherwise another civil war would start. Although he made fun of my writing it gave me points where I could improve upon. Actually I was writing an article on "My First Day of College. ".

I don't know whether my writing is strong enough to win against others and occupy a place amongst the writing panel of the web magazine but I definitely won't give up without trying.

I edited and re-edited the writing and focussed on the parts he emphasised intentionally or unintentionally. Snow was having fun by having her lunch. I still didn't get the reason why most of the days Sky doesn't bring his lunch. It worries me like hell but I still do not have enough guts to ask him.

As time passed classes continued. In fact there was an extra mathematics class. Lacy bunked the class. I and Sky and a few others stayed. For this reason I caught the next train and reached home late. I made up my mind to complete the task on that day itself.

I wrote and rewrote and finally sent Sky a message. I wrote, "If it's convenient for you can you please review my writing? "

"Send it, I will review it. It might take time but I will definitely review yours.By the way, is reviewing necessary? "

"No It's your wish. I asked for your help only to honestly tell me how you feel. "

"Okay"

I sent him the mail where I sent the document. I was thrilled to see his reply .He texted, "I found it very interesting, especially the Annie and Lucy part. Send it to the committee and chill just like your father said to cool down... On a serious note, It's really good. "

The last line was the best. And I had gained my confidence to submit the paragraph. I texted, "Thanks a lott... "

His reply was like a prince wishing, by texting, "My Pleasure. "

But one thing I was confident that he read everything. His comment proves it. This gave me an urge to submit the main file. I submitted it and finally got relieved.

But I was tensed about the selection. I really want my little writing to be showcased. But I was still afraid that It might get rejected. Whatever their wishes I hope a little space is still left for the story to be published. After All It's a matter of our hard work together!
