Chapter 1:
Life can be strange sometimes. It can give you happiness in a moment, but it can snatch away all the happiness in a flash as well. Life gives you smiles, joy, laughter - but it all comes with pain, sorrow, and tears. This is my story - it'll make you smile, love, cry...A mixed array of emotions. It all begin at a raas tryout meeting ...

[I find this opportunity to introduce myself to Jahnvi who seems to be a nice girl. Little did I know, she would soon become my biggest nightmare].
Rhea - What a flirt!
Jahnvi - Lol. Don't tell me you've fallen for him.
Rhea - Nope not at all. Haha.
Jahnvi - Uh huh sure not your type! But must say he's damn good!
Rhea - He's been on the team for so long. What do you expect?
Jahnvi - True! Well I'm excited I hope I make the team.
Rhea - Me too!
[The tryouts continue. Everyone shows their routine to Jay and Nisha.]
Nisha - Alright so we have judged each of you individually. And within a week the results will be announced as to who made the cut and who didn't.
Jay - And just know if you didn't don't be disappointed. There are still many opportunists awaiting you in life! So keep smiling forever! =)
