Ch.04 : 30 seconds

After that day which Ollie saw the poster on the notice board of Bremingham, everytime she passed by there , she didn't forget to take a look at that boy. She had no idea how her heart was progressing right then. But she just didn't want to miss that chance to take a look at him.

One day as usual she was walking to school and she stopped by the Bremingham notice board and the poster she wanted to look at was gone. It was replaced by some another notice. She felt down as if her whole day was affected by this as it was the only chance to see him. But at the end even it ended up getting removed. So she kinda felt upset and sad.

That whole day she was feeling very down that she almost screwed up the experiment in biology lab. The friends felt that there's something wrong with Ollie and they asked,

"Ollie, are u alright? you look so good to us"

. But Ollie said that she just needed some time to be alone. After their biology period, they had to attend the PT period.

Their PT teacher had something to announce that day and he gathered the students around him and told,

"Everyone stop talking and listen, the sports club will organize some tournaments and matches for the sports day and you all have give your support. There will be some guest schools playing against us on the sports day matches. So everyone , Give your best! you heard me right, I need your best"

While he was announcing this ,Ollie's mind wondered somewhere else. She had no clue about what the teacher had been speaking about.

On the sports day, many other schools had been invited. Oliie came to school and realized that she had totally forgotten about the sports day. But it didn't really matter that much for her as she didn't enter her name for any sport. There were lot of sports organized; Swimming in the school pool, Volleyball in the court , hockey, air shooting, some relays, table tennis and badminton in the school stadium. Everyone was busy with their own duty or task. But Ollie really had nothing to do so she was sitting on a bench in front of the stadium. She heard, some were cheering, some were gasping and exclaiming because of excitement. One girl come out of the stadium with a tiresome look and she tried to call someone but there was no answer then she left a voice message telling that person to hurry and come over quickly.That girl looked so depressed, so Ollie asked her,

"Hey, are you alright, do you need some help?"

The girl said that the person who supposed to coordinate the tournaments in stadium seemed to be got absent. Ollie knew about this stuff pretty much and she offered her hand to help.

They both hurried to the stadium, badminton tournaments were about to begin. That girl handed a microphone to Ollie and she also got a one and said,

" I will be coordinating under 13 tournaments

and you go with under 16. You got that?"

"Yeah uh..of course "said Ollie.

There was a big crowd including the players and the audience. Ollie began to think that she had made a bad choice to help as she was racking with nervousness. She gathered all her courage and went up the stage to announce the next round of under 16. Then she had to stand beside the court and announce everything about the players, which one scored and which wasn't. This was making her exhausted. Then there was a little break and after that she had to coordinate another one. She announced scores over the microphone,

" Hufflepown middle school scored 27 for the 2nd round of under 16 and let's see how Bremingham scored.."

and she turned back to look at the scoreboard.

Her eyes met someone. That person was also starting at her. Their eyes met. None of them turned back but stayed for like 30 seconds looking at each other. That was the boy from the entrance exam , the boy who was on the poster, the boy from Bremingham. He was there standing. He must had been there whole day for the tournaments. But she only saw him now. They gazed at each other straightly for like 30 seconds which somehow looked like a heavenly made coincidence.

After announcing each score that the each school get, Ollie gave back the microphone and tried to find him. But he was gone. There was no trace of him. Again she missed the chance to talk to him. She looked at the scoreboard again and noticed that from under 13 tournament Bremingham scored the highest among the other schools and she knew why was that.
