Happy Reading! :D :D
20th December, 2000:
And finally, the trauma is over.
I cannot believe that after nineteen humiliating days of practicing an art that has no practical relationship with me from any aspect, I finally got through with it okay-ish. Atleast I'm happy that I didn't ruin it for Ranveer, although I'm sure that had someone else partnered with him, he may have actually come second or even first. Atleast third isn't bad. Although call it fluke.
Sometimes, I really don't understand why Ranveer made me promise about participating in that stupid dance competition when he knows pretty well that I can't dance! Like seriously, that's not fair! All I asked for was the amalgamation of our names for the day he publishes his book and he made me pay such a big price for it. Now I'll see how he doesn't make the amalgamation. In fact, I'll see to it that my whole name is amalgamated as his pseudonym now! Huh!
Yeah okay fine, we came in third, so it's a win-win everywhere. But still, it was thankfully just a school competition so atleast Ranveer's reputation wasn't in any real risk. Mr. Prefect Perfect. Ahem, that just sounds ridiculous, and full of envy. May be I am, but you can't blame me! Nobody can be this perfect at everything he does. Name it and he is - prefect, yes; first ranker, yes; student of the year, yes; school representative; yes, best participant in all forms of the creative and literary arts, yes; best in all academic subjects, yes. Damn it, he's a whiz kid! He's supernatural, I swear.
It is as though all the teachers expect me to follow his footsteps at school. This happens with siblings, not best friends! Okay, I can atleast happily say that I'm the first ranker of my entire year and have been the student of the year for my batch for the last three years. I'm good at my subjects and thoroughly average at the creative and literary arts. Sometimes, it just feels awkward to be forever under Ranveer's shadow at school. And I'm sorry to say, but the teachers practically drool upon him for being so diligent and for being such a model student.
The only thing my teachers drool at in case of me is my ability to speak non-stop. They practically have to ask me to shut up atleast thrice per lecture. They know I'm good at studies too, but unfortunately, I'm always hidden away behind Ranveer's sincerity and dedication. I wouldn't be surprised if I openly catch one of the teachers drooling at my Perfect Prefect one of these days. I know I'm being a bitch but it's not cool at times.
Peer pressure.
So now you can imagine the expectations of the school riding upon Ranveer when we were participating for this inter-school dance competition and you can imagine how much the teachers must have expected from me. Ranveer was never the problem - I was. Atleast I can safely say that my teachers were genuinely impressed with me for upholding the school's name and for a good performance. You personally ask me, I'm glad that I didn't faint on-stage in fright.
Well, but apart from my foolish jabbering, I think I need to kiss Ranveer (well not literally, duh, but you do get my point) for just bearing me for those nineteen days and managing to actually do the Herculean task of making me dance. Not once has he ever scolded me or even so much as raised his voice at me when I wouldn't get the step right. And boy does he have the patience of a saint. Had I been in his place, I would have certainly given up on me as a lost cause by now, but not him. He's never learnt to give up, not that guy.
Now you must be wondering how on Earth we even did come 3rd in the first place. Well, now let me explain the fortunes of luck that God bestowed upon me today. We were ten pairs participating in the competition. Now unlike what Ranveer said, I found most of the performances okay-ish and that too in my terrible haze of stage fright. There were only two pairs that actually danced well and they deservingly came first and second. The remaining six were useless and I'm not boasting or exaggerating when I say this but I honestly danced better than all the twelve of them combined.
The only true competition we had was Pair No. 8 because I think we danced at par. And both them as well as us made the same amount of mistakes, I think. The girl dancing on Team 8 got stuck in her hoop when trying to twist it around her waist and I nearly got entangled in the loop formation that Ranveer was supposed to effortlessly free me of. Loops and hoops both backfired treacherously, but for our good fortune, our dance was a tad better than theirs. Atleast I could return home with my head held high, if not entirely guilty.
And that's enough of this dance competition. Apparently, Ranveer seems too happy about coming third in this competition that the idiot has enrolled the two of us into the upcoming inter-state competition in May. Just wait till I manage to crawl my way out of it. Wasn't one competition bad enough that he's set me in for public humiliation now? Git. I swear I'll have my revenge upon him for it.
But revenge can wait. It's just tomorrow and we are off to Manali! I've been waiting for it for so long that it seems like a dream come true for me! And the best thing is that even Ranveer is going to accompany us! I've already bought myself new coats, boots, scarves and gloves - it's -2 over there, you know. Keep this between us, but half of my accessories are going to Ranveer. I'd asked Kaka about it a few days back and he told me that Ranveer didn't have the proper wear. Obviously Ranveer won't be willing to take them from me, but I've always got a solution to all problems like every time. Just wait till my plan works. He won't be able to refuse in any way.
You know, it has always been my fantasy to visit a hill station in the wee months of winter just for the thrill of it. And it's been quite a fascination with me too. Ranveer, ofcourse, is just as excited and surprised that Papa is taking him along with us on the trip, but he's also apprehensive about the winters. He hates them, you know, much more so than I hate dancing. Well, to be frank, he hates anything cold. But he's still excited.
Now for this trip, it's just going to be Maa and Papa, along with Gauri, Devarsh, Prateik, Disha, Ranveer and myself. Sharman bhaiyya would have made it too had it not been for a Christmas celebration at his boarding school that he's been made in charge of. Well, I'll really miss him loads. He's too studious and stuck-up at times, but I know how fun he can be too. He would have really enjoyed this trip. Curse those boarding school people. But that's okay, I hope that he'll be back home atleast for the New Year celebrations.
Speaking of celebrations, the news is unofficial, but my Science teacher tells me that there is a high chance of me making prefect next year. Isn't that exciting?! Wait till I tell Ranveer about that! He's been rubbing it in my face for so long by being known as one of the best prefects we've had at school in this whole decade that I actually want to see his face when I tell him this. Although on second thoughts, there isn't anything to be all pompous about because the whole school knows that Ranveer is going to be made Head Boy next year. Huh, so much for my flying kites.
And that again reminds me, why are boys so much in love with Makar Sankrati? There's still quite a month to go for it and Ranveer's already whooping to take on the kites and he's already approached me about being the one to catch his reel. Like seriously, what is wrong with him?! Doesn't he know how dangerous that is?! What if I cut my hand or injure myself? What if he injures himself? I'm heard my friends narrate such nasty incidents about their brothers and fathers at the hands of the manja that it gave me two straight sleepless nights with terrifying images forming all through them.
Honestly, if Ranveer loves being a daredevil, I'm going to be putting my foot down this year. I'm not going to risk his life for something as stupid as kite flying. Okay shush, nobody should know that I just called 'kite flying' stupid because Papa and Ranveer will both disavow me. But still, it's dangerous. That kite cost Amir and Hassan a lot in The Kite Runner and goodness knows I couldn't even imagine anything happening to Ranveer.
Oh Lord, I've totally deviated from the point now, haven't I? Okay, coming back to point, let's take one thing at a time. And Manali is numero uno on my list right now! But wait, someone's coming. Oh good Lord, it is Ranveer! I'll get back to you as soon as he leaves.
-x-
Okay, he left. Seriously, I'm going to smack him one day. Why does he have to be so rigid? Just like I planned, I asked Papa to hand him over the accessories for his stay, and told him to blackmail him into taking it if Ranveer put up a fight, but Ranveer is a special kind of genius. He not only downright refused to accept the accessories, but also came to know that I must have put Papa up to it. It was bad enough that I'm so exhausted right now after all the dance and anxiety without him putting up such tantrums.
He came to give me a long speech about how he doesn't deserve it and how he'd have to pay for all this from his salary, but I think I gave him one instead. I told him that he didn't have to be so stuck up about it and it wouldn't hurt if he just accepted something for a change thinking of it as a gift rather than charity. I think it might have upset him but I can't help it. He was being unreasonable.
Great, I already feel bad about it. Hmm. Now I'll have to go and make his mood proper, and somehow convince him to accept it. I think I will need to put up a practical argument that he'd freeze to death instantly at -2 if he doesn't have any accessories on. Idiot; sometimes I really wonder where does his common sense go?
Oh yeah, in loops and hoops, ofcourse!
Constructive criticism will be more than welcome and sorry for any typos. :D :D
