Vidya POV

I got up and looked at Preity. "I'll get over it. I don't need Sagar nor do I want him. I could care less about him. That's the end. Why should I like him and hate him at the same time? But you know what I'll get over it. A person like him deserves a person like him, like Suhana. Arrogant, rude, selfish and inconsiderate, that's what they are. Why should I be sad for things that they do? They are nothing to me. I am not going to mope around like this. But I need to vent my feelings about my memories with my parents that I don't have." I stood up confidently. I turned around to the mirror and put on my game face. "I'm going to try out for the soccer team, it'll get my mind off of things" I stated. She smiled and hugged me. "That's my girl. Fearless, not letting anyone get to you." She let go and I ran out the room with a thumbs up from her.

I went inside my room to see Sagar standing there. "Oh you're here" he said adding the disgust to his voice. I looked at him and you know what I should say what I think, what's on my mind. Why am I being pushed around for nothing? "Excuse me? I share this room with you. You know what I think I need to say a lot of things. Now take a seat!" He looked at me confused. "Take a seat!" I gave him a look a real tough one. "Yes mam" he said and sat down. "What do you think? That I'm going to let you push me around. Let you trouble me for no damned reason? What have I done to you? Nothing that's all. I didn't want to help find your Cinderella because I didn't know who she was and you thought I did? If you haven't noticed I don't have many friends so how would I know. I came here to learn to be educated not to be stuck in a drama that I was never a part of. You found your Cinderella without my help yet you still trouble. Well guess what I'm not going to let that happen. I could tell the administrators and head about what you're doing. But I'm not, so from now on you will not at all disturb me nor will you talk to me without reason. If you do anything then I will file a complaint. Don't' underestimate me and don't doubt me or my intentions. And as for what you did to my pictures. You're wrong I can't take those pictures again with my mother? How am I supposed to? Dead people don't come back alive" I stretched the last part a bit because I knew my eyes were welling up. I turned around so that my back was facing him and I let the tears fall because I knew these were the last of them. No more Mrs. Nice girl. "Sorry" was all I heard. It was hardly audible and after that I heard the door shut. I changed into my soccer clothes and left for try outs.

There were many girls trying out and everyone said nobody in their first year of college made the team and I am going to change that. The coach had paired us up and made us do dribbling exercises. We then did some stealing exercises. The coach lined up again.

No POV

Coach blew her whistle and looked at the girls.

Coach- I'm choosing 15 girls out of the 40 that tried out. I already have girls from last year so we may have some bench-warmers but you'll get your day. I've seen the way you can work out in defence, I've seen they way you dribble and handle the ball. I've seen you're techniques but I have to see if you can score. Now thankfully we got the goalie from the boys team who will not at all go easy on you, in fact he's going to go real tough. You have 2 chances to score. If you get both in sit down on the bench to the right, if you get 1 then the one to the left and if you don't get any in go back where you came from.

The coach looked down at her list.

Coach- Deepika mitul you're first. Show us what you've got.

Deepika walked to where the soccer ball was placed. She looked down and shrugged her shoulders and jigged around a little. She looked at the goalie and kicked the ball with the inner side of her foot. Her cleats touched the foot. She had technique but the Goalie saved it. Deepika went for the second time and kicked the ball getting it in. The coach smiled.

Coach: left bench! Alright the next person is Suhana.

Vidya's face shot up to see Suhana. Suhana glared at her and walked over to kick the balls. She looked at the goalie and winked and the goalie just rolled his eyes stuck up his middle finger. Suhana gasped and then rolled her eyes. Vidya smiled and noticed that the Goalie smiled at her. She smiled back at him. Suhana tried to kick the first time but it went way far from the net. She tried another time but it ended up hitting the coach.

Coach-Out! Please go before more people end up in the hospital and before the devil comes for you.

The coach called several girls down. Some got to the left bench some left but no one got two goals in to be on the right bench.

Coach- Last person, Vidya and hopefully you can get 2 goals. I'm counting on you.

Vidya smiled she went to the middle gracefully. She dribbled the ball first then let it down.

Vidya: I'm ready

She hit the first ball with her inner foot, her cleat hitting against the ball. As she kicked it, it made a swift sound. And Goal!!! The Coach smiled. She went to the other one and looked up to the Goalie. She noticed him moving so she kept eye contact with him and kicked the ball and Goal!!! The coach seemed relieved.

Coach: Finally! Thank you god! Thank you.

The coach lined up the girls again.

Coach: Congratulations you've made the team. Here are you're uniforms (http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/5FIY01n93Hd/Women+Professional+Soccer+Uniform+Unveiling/PAawRN8TpPh/Hope+Solo). Girls learn a thing or two from Vidya. I think If I'm right she's the first girl in her first year to ever be on the team since years from now. Last Girl was Ishika. What a player. I'd like to appoint Vidya as your team captain.

Vidya smiled not to the fact she was team captain because her mother was Ishika. All the girls left but Vidya stayed. She played by herself. Just shooting in the net. The coach came down and noticed her.

Coach: shouldn't you have left before?

Vidya: yes but I need the practice. Captain I means leading you're team but I have to work extra hard. Like my mother Ishika.

Coach: That was your mother. Thought I saw something in you that was in her. You know what that was, her drive. When mad or sad, happy or glad she'd be on the field dribbling a soccer ball. You're mother won us all of our games. She put her heart and soul into playing. She would never miss a day to play on the field.

Vidya: I miss her but by playing I feel like I'm closer to her. When I play I just don't play for fun or to win I play so that I can vent, so that I can get my head straight. I want to be like my mother.

Coach: I should call her sometime (coach is a girl, kind of left that out)

Vidya: can't call the dead

Coach: oh I'm so sorry. Wait here.

The coach ran off and came back with a soccer ball in her hands.

Coach caught her breath and looked at Vidya.

Coach: You're mother practiced with this ball. I always thought when we met again I'd give her this. It was her good luck charm. If she practiced with that ball before a game, that game she'd never loose. It was given to her by a famous soccer player in that time. Now I want you to have it, maybe it'll help you connect with her, maybe it'll give you the same luck. I just want you to have it, to practice with it. I know it's old but I've kept it alive. I know my ways. I have to go now.

The coach left and Vidya started playing with her mother's soccer ball. She kicked it far and she noticed a boy stopped it. He came dribbling the ball to her.

Boy: Hey you're the girl from the tryouts. Best player on the team.

Vidya: And you're the goalie from the boys team. I'm Vidya

Boy: I'm Arjun, do you mind if I play or no?

Vidya: I think you're no competition for me but if you think you can beat me then bring it on.

He laughed and they started to play. As they played it started to drizzle a bit. Arjun was going easy on her but she was trying her best. They stopped playing and sat on a bench.

Vidya: thanks for everything.

Arjun: It was worth it. Hey friends?

Vidya: Friends.

Arjun: we should hang out more.

Vidya: yeah we should

Arjun: you know I was going easy on you right?

Vidya: yeah right? Hey I almost forgot. I'm captain

Arjun: Well I should tell you too that I'm captain of the boys team as well. Looks like I've met my match.

Vidya smiled at him and left to go back to her room.

Vidya: See you later, maybe at the Cafeteria

Arjun: Tomorrow- sure. Bye

Arjun walked off the field with a smile on his face and so did Vidya but she took her mothers soccer ball with her.

Vidya POV

I looked back at the field and smiled as I saw Arjun looking back as well. He waved me a goodbye and ran off with me blushing. I'm so glad he's my friend. He seems very nice and helpful. I walked over to my room and went straight into the bathroom. I am extremely sweaty, ughh and I smell bad too. I quickly got my towel and brush and noticed the time. It was 8:00 and soccer tryouts were at 4:00 they only lasted 2 hours which means I spent the other 2 hours outside. I haven't even reviewed my notes. I stepped back into the bathroom and stripped free of my clothes. I stepped in the shower and let the water just fall on me. A lot of things happened. I let the water flow as my thoughts were going with them. I let them absorb everything that happened today. Suhana becomes my enemy- whatever, Sagar does some very mean stuff, I break down, I gain confidence, I show off Sagar and be strong, go out for tryouts, get on the team as captain, coach give me mother's lucky soccer ball and I become friends with Arjun. Lets see the score of good and bad. Bad: 3 and Good:6. Not bad. I got out and changed into my pyjamas. I got to my study table and started reviewing my notes. Suddenly the door slams and I see Sagar there with a blank expression. I looked back and started reviewing my notes ignoring his presence. I turned around to see him asleep on the bottom bunk. I closed my book and went over to him. He still had his shoes on, I went to his feet and took them off. I looked at him asleep he seemed so peaceful and innocent and now that innocence was gone. He shivered a bit. I guess I could pull his covers a bit. I started pulling them up as I got closer to him I noticed lip stick marks on his neck. I immediately stopped. I got on to the top bunk and I closed my eyes. "I'm sorry about your pictures and your mom" I looked down but I Sagar was asleep. Must be sleep talking. Mom used to say when people are guilty they have bad dreams, they start sleep talking and a lot of other things happen too. I closed my eyes.

Dream

I looked at daddy and then mommy. Dad had tears in his eyes as he looked at mommy. Mommy was looking a bit sad. Daddy looked away from mommy and kept his eyes from hers. "Why do you have to leave. What are we supposed to do without you?" I took daddy's hand in mine. "Mommy please don't go, please. We need you we love you" I said. I could feel tears in my eyes. Daddy kissed my hand and kissed mommy on the forehead and ran out the room. 'Daddy' I called after him but it was no use. "Let him cry Vidu he needs to let it out" she whispered softly. I turned around from mommy but mommy took my hand and led me to lay down beside her. I did and I kept talking to mommy while crying to her, she held me in her arms and kissed me on my cheeks. "Mommy please don't go. Don't leave us. Daddy and I need you. We love you a lot. Tell God to wait. Please. I'm going to miss you a lot" mommy hugged me hard. "I can't do anything Vidu. I love you too and I'll miss you a lot. But I can't do anything. Dont' worry I won't be far from you. I'll be in the sky watching over you. Now I want you to take care of Daddy. I know he won't be able to handle this. You know Daddy big from the outside but only bigger inside. I love you. I want you too live your life with no sorrows, so please don't ever cry" mommy looked a bit alright but she seemed very scared yet confident. "But what if I need girl advice" I asked. She patted my hair a bit. "Just listen to your heart alright and if I'm not there I'm pretty sure you'll have friends to help you and if you don't have any friends I'll ask god to send them. Whatever you need just ask me and I'll ask god and I'm sure he'll listen. I love you-I-I" I watched as mommy started closing her eyes and started choking. Doctors and nurses came in sending me outside. I watched as mommy suffered and then closed her eyes .I screamed and fell to the floor. "I didn't get to kiss you goodbye" I whispered.

I woke up sweat smeared against my face, tears running down my cheeks. I need to go somewhere. I got out of bed softly trying not to wake Sagar up. I crept outside. I noticed a room with a piano inside of it. I went inside looking if anyone was there. I closed the door sat down and started playing. I let my fingers fall to place and started singing a song that was so relatable.

Sagar POV

I tossed and turned in my sleep. I kept thinking about apologizing to Vidya about what I did. It was kind of dumb but I should just let it go. I got out of bed and left my room. I walked around the corridors as I heard someone playing the piano to a familiar song. I went to the door of them room. Whoever this it may be is amazing at playing. I shouldn't interrupt. Then the soft music stopped. My hand rose to the door knob but I took my hand back as I heard her start to play again.

Na na, na na na, na na

I miss you, miss you so bad

I don't forget you, oh it's so sad

I hope you can hear me

I remember it clearly

The day you slipped away

Was the day I found it won't be the same

Oooh

Na na, na na na, na na

I didn't get around to kiss you

Goodbye on the hand

I wish that I could see you again

I know that I can't

Oooh

I hope you can hear me cause I remember it clearly

The day you slipped away

Was the day I found it won't be the same

Oooh

I had my wake up

Won't you wake up

I keep asking why

And I can't take it

It wasn't fake

It happened, you passed away

Now you are gone, Now you are gone

There you go, there you go

Somewhere I can't bring you back

Now you are gone, now you are gone

There you go, there you go

Somewhere your not coming back

The day you slipped away

Was the day I found it won't be the same no

The day you slipped away

Was the day I found it won't be the same oooh

Na, na na na, na

I miss you

As soon as she finished the song I caught my breath. I walked away amazed. That voice was beautiful, it seemed as if whoever sang it, sang the song from their heart. And they meant everything. I walked down to the lounge and sat their re-running the song in my head.

Vidya POV

I finished the song and I felt great. I let it all out and I guess it's okay if you're not here mom. I'm used to it and things have changed and I guess wherever you are, you're supporting me and thats all I need. I walked back to my room to see Sagar missing. Must be with Suhana, oh well, I could care less. I got in bed and closed my eyes with a smile on my face.
