Talent parade wasn't an easy prizefight. It was a battle between best dance groups from Mumbai. The competition was divided into three levels. First level where we had to compete in our college after that second level between groups from other colleges like an inter college and finally the grand finale where finalists from selected colleges would perform. My gang was happy that we had given our name forward for it. I was worried about tough competitors as from our own college it wasn't easy to be chosen over Aksi and Anara to reach second level. What if we lose against her? No, I need to be positive.

It was just one night before this nervousness was slaughtering me inside. I tried to calm myself with music but where was my iPod. Damn it's with Reyaansh since two weeks and I didn't even asked it back from him. "Kria, what are doing on study table? Come here." Taani called me.

"Tanu just coming" I left aside my books and went to bed where my gang was comfortably lying down. We had a night stay at our place to discuss last minute execution of the performance. I lay down on Urvi's lap.

"What do you think guys? Will we be able to do it?" Taani said.

"What if we lose over that bimbo?" I said.

"Shut up guys, we have worked on it a lot n I'm sure we'll be able to overcome our first hurdle" Sharon said being confident enough. I guess she was right we had worked a lot for the coming day now we can only wait for our performance. "Hmm, let's forget about it right now and have some ice-cream" Urvi said, Taani got the ice-cream from the fridge and we forgot about the nervousness in delicacy of ice-cream.

The next was a big opportunity for us either could be in next level or the gossip of being losers. Just an hour was left for our performance. I was green room getting dressed up with other participants. There were quite a number of groups who had given their name. "Kria close your eyes" Taani (her look) said. "Taani eye makeup zaada loud mat karna plz"

"Tu tension mat le teri costume designer jo ki main hi hun wont make you look bad."

"Hmm" I closed my eyes as per her instruction but there was sudden noise in the room. My eyes were open immediately. It was Aksi who threw the makeup box on the ground turning it into pieces. "What the hell is going on? I'm just fed up now of sharing a single room with the other participants and this stupid makeup artist. I want Rey here right now." She shouted on her makeup artist and other back stage working students. Poor souls! They had to bear all this.

I shook my head seeing her drama, "We all are adjusting here Taani why can't she?"

"Rich brat" She said.

I knew she was quite rich but that doesn't mean she can treat everyone like slave. "We can do nothing about her behavior. These kids don't know how to live a normal life as they've millions choices of everything from clothes to cars in-front of them anyways you close your eyes let me complete your makeup" Taani completed and words were correct they don't know the real meaning of living a normal life.

Reyaansh wasn't able to come to solve Aksi's problem instead he sent Swayam for help. None of the student complained it was only her who found problem in everything. "What happened Aksi? Baby, are you fine?" he said.

Swayam also had the serial number in which performances were to be held. We were waiting for him to announce the order the performances but Aksi's drama wasn't coming to an end. Sharon was getting highly irritated due to it, "Aksi and Swayam end this for god sake. We're waiting for the list plz announce the sequence" she said. "Can't you see Sharon Aksi is upset, wait for some time." Swayam was obviously gonna support Aksi after all it was order from our G.S Reyaansh Singhania but Sharon couldn't wait for longer. I just hoped she doesn't hit him or Aksi.

Sharon went to Swayam and snatched the file from his hand. "What are doing Sharon?" Swayam said.

"Shut up, I'm not talking to you"

She pasted the list of performance on the bulletin board. "Guys, here's the list. There are eight performances. You all can check your performance number from here and Miss Aksi you have the second performance. Leave your drama aside and get ready if you wanna perform"

Well done sister! Swayam and Aksi were left in shock and everyone was thankful to her for pasting the list on board or else hours would have gone waiting. Our performance was scheduled to be the last. First performance by the Soham and his group was choreographed well second performance by Aksi and Anara's (costume) performance was also nice but to be honest it was flaunted by the short dresses and sexy moves if we give a clear look it wasn't a great performance.

We saw every performance on the LCD screen placed in the green room. Participants before us were quite talented now it was our turn. Taani gave a last check to our costume then walked out to till stage. Host was announcing the name of our group. I slightly looked at the crowd from behind the stage and it made me highly strung. Few students assigned with the work were there and amongst them stood Reyaansh, he slightly smiled. I looked in the other direction not being sure of whom he was smiling at?

"Good luck" he came to me and forwarded his hand. My hands were shaking after seeing the crowd. "Nervous?" he asked.

"No... ah Yesss." I stammered.

"Hey don't be nervous, have faith in yourself." He gave a sideward hug. I was having Goosebumps on my skin due to his touch. It was just a friendly gesture, not even a proper hug but still I was shuddered. He walked to my group and shook hand with them too wishing good luck to them also.

"and presenting before you all Crazy angels" Host announced.

I hugged my group tight then Taani went to the DJ cabinet to control music. Sharon and Urvi climbed the backstage stairs which forwarded to stage. I followed them giving a glimpse back where Reyaansh stood. He gave a calmed smile.

Imagine Neha as Sharon and Vishakha as Urvi

"Oh gawd" I mumbled.
