Chapter Three
Khushi stood infront of the mirror looking at herself in shock. What the hell had she gotten herself into? She was wearing helmet and pads [ sort of like this http://bit.ly/JGc5Pu] which were way oversized making her look more tiny then she actually was. She was feeling suffocated and the heavy uniform was clearly leaving bruises on her tender skin not that she cared that is... for her this was war...
"I look like shit"
Yash was silently laughing " sorry kiddo this is the smallest size we have got"
Khushi grumbled... theres no turning back now Khushi... you can do it... just try...
It wasn't actually a shocker that when she stepped out into the field almost half of the school was present there. They wanted to watch how a tiny girl could challenge the mighty Arnav Singh Raizada. Most of them were cheering Arnav. Traitors!! Just because he is hot... wait did I again think that he is hot!!... what is wrong with me... arch- nemesis ... arch nemesis... oh god I'm looking horrible wearing this... he is probably laughing his butt off... what is the matter with me... why do I care what he thinks about how I look... ewww
She is looking too cute... aww so adorable... if she can look so hot in that oversized tent... HOT!!!! CUTE!!! did I just think of her as hot, cute...Arnav!!!! she hates you... she dishes about you infront of the whole school!!! maybe it's because I haven't gone on a date for a long time !!! I need to go on a date... thats it
Arnav approached Khushi..." there is still time to back out Khushi, it's a ruthless game , you can get hurt"
Her brain was telling her backout!!! backout you dumbo!!!! but her pride didn't let her... "why you scared??"
"what the!!!! Fine lets play"
...
The match finally begin
Khushi tried a lot to score but she was not able to... Arnav was blocking the way clearly without putting any effort at all... no Khushi you can't lose no matter what... she thought of playing a little dirty...
She rammed into him hard which actually made her fall to the ground but nothing at all happened to him... Arnav was clearly shocked... "what the f**k are you doing?"
"I'm body checking you. It is clearly allowed by the rules"
"You tried to shove me with your body!!! are you crazy???? seriously!!! look at you and look at me!!! you are half my size??? "
"yeah well I tried to catch you by surprise"
Arnav gave her his hand to pull herself up but khushi had different plans... even though Arnav had let go of his reflexes khushi knew the game was still going on... she pushed him, got up and made a dash towards the post... momentarily shocked Arnav's anger knew no boundaries...
He caught up with her in moment and so lightly body checked her... he hadn't meant to hurt her, he only wanted to stop her from making the goal but Khushi toppled over...
her breathing hitched... it felt as if her arms had been torn apart from her body, her eyes filled with tears of pain..that she was sure was going to form multiple bruises on her body... luckily she was wearing a helmet and it was not quite visible... Arnav ran over to her "Are you alright? Did you get hurt? didn't mean to shove you so hard? Do you want to call it quits? it's fine by me if you do...
Never, she said getting up and tried to get past him again. She was stopped soon.
The next 40 minutes Khushi tried as hard as she could..she toppled over, fell on her face and back.. she shoved, pushed, tricked but nothing happened... and the worst part was Arnav wasn't even trying... it was looking like he was playing with a kid... NOTHING worked... Arnav on the other hand had scored already scored 5 goals very easily...
...
The last five minutes left now...
...
Khushi was getting desperate... she knew this was a lost case now but she'll fight till the end... she'll score atleast one goal... she had observed the way Arnav played the whole game... she now understood his reflexes better...
Khushi positioned herself so that it looked as if she was going to the right side... Arnav moved that way... before Arnav could even grasp what had happened Khushi quickly made a dash for the left... she knew that she was very far from the post and it is an impossible shot but she still tried it... and it was a GOAL...
The whole crowd cheered... although Khushi had lost her determination and never say die nature got her into everyone's heart... the crowd clapped and cheered... Arnav's team mates got up and cheered for her... Gooo Khushi!!!!!
Khushi looked towards Arnav... he was staring at her... as soon as he saw her he smiled a big smile and gave her a thumbs up... Khushi smiled back...
...
Soon the crowd reached her... Arnav's team mates patted her on her head, back... others cheered... Khushi's journalist friends were busy clicking pictures of her disheveled state... drenched in sweat mixed with mud she was looking awful ... NK came to take her interview treating it like a real match...
While she saw Lavanya go to Arnav to take his interview... she was laughing and flirting with him... Arnav was also laughing with her... suddenly he looked up to see her staring at him... she turned her head around
Yash came up to her... putting an arm over her shoulders, pulling her to him he said "great job, kiddo. You sure rocked today. Everyone is at awe with you"
Khushi looked at Arnav to see him staring at her this time... yash also followed her gaze and slightly laughed to himself...
"What's so funny?" she asked
""He is and you are" Yash replied...
Khushi didn't understand his sentence and decided to leave it at that
...
Hope you liked the update... please like and comment guys... really want to know what you guys think about it
Okay one thing I want to add seeing the comments... KUSHI didn't win but she played exceptionally well against the mighty ASR...she scored a goal whilst Arnav scored five... everyone cheered because of her never say die nature... and scoring against ASR is not that easy...
