ok guys, i was reading this book, i really loved this story, so thought of sharing it with you all, its on sajan, do read an comment
--------------------
It all started two years ago at the beginning of the last semester at high school. I was 16 years old and my middle name was > geek < . Guess what ? I had thick black wavy hair that stayed behind my ears, braces (which people made fun of them) and glasses.
I used to make part of the drama Club and as always the club decided to make an end-of-the year play. As I had been a member of this group for over five years the drama teacher, Tamana gave me the leading role which was Cinderella. We were going to play the classical story, Cinderella, but with a modern edge. I was hoping that Prince Charming would be played by someone I knew as I used to be easily intimidated by people who weren't my type.
My friends were congratulating me for being given the main part when suddenly the door opened and in came Samrat shergill! What the hell what was is he doing here? I thought to myself. (Not knowing samrat shergill one would be asking who he is. In short I will tell you. He is the hottest guy at school, basketball captain and dating head cheerleader) .
Going back to the real world from my thoughts I looked at him as he approached tamana and handed her a paper.
She nodded at him and they headed towards us. "I would all like you to hear what I am going to say," she said. All our eyes turned to look at her and Samrat who was standing next to her. "You all know Samrat from your classes, he is going to be making part of this and take part in the play. With discussions with the headmaster we decided to give him the second leading role, Prince Charming."
When Tamana finished what she had to say, all eyes turned to look at me. I was looking at Tamana with my mouth open. ME of all people.. Chosen to work with HIM? The most intimidating person of the school was going to be my partner! I couldn't refuse my part and he seemed somehow inclined to do it, which was rather something unusual as he always look at people like me as if we were nothing.
I saw Tamana handing him his script and talking to him. He looked as if he was asking her something and then she turned and nodded over at me. When he looked at me his deep blue eyes caught mine and I started to blush. I was such an idiot!
"Come on guys. Make a circle and everyone will read out loud his part so to know what we will be doing." Everyone obeyed her and in one minute there was a circle formed and we were reading out our parts. I read my lines perfectly all way through and then when we were at the last pages of the script some words caught my eye : [Cinderella and Prince Kiss and curtains fall]. I was gob smacked when I read this. Did I really have to kiss Samrat?
When all the script was read Tamana told the others to go in groups of four and try to memorize their lines together and meanwhile she called me and Samrat next to her.
"About the kissing scene-", she started, but then she stopped when she saw me and Samrat not facing each other. "Ok, about that scene we will talk later. First you have to get to know about each other. You have to talk and get comfortable . OK?" she asked. "Fine," Samrat said and I just nodded. "Go and take two chairs and start talking a bit. At the end of the lesson I will talk with you."
We walked slowly to get a chair and we went to the corner. We stood there facing each other and saying nothing. I started to look at the ceiling and play with my hair when I heard him clear his throat.
I looked at him, "So you are gunjan'" he said "Yep, that's what the say" I said to him back. I didn't know how I was going to look at him.
He was looking at me like I was a freak and I was getting really uncomfortable. "Are you good at memorizing lines?" he asked me. "Yes," I replied back, shortly. "Do you think that you can give me a hint how I can memorize lines? I'm really bad at this stuff," he asked. "Ummm.." I didn't know what to say.
"I can come over your house if you want and we can practice together," he said before letting me think. "Sure, "I said and smiled at him. He smiled back. He really was gorgeous!
We started reading our lines together and bit by bit I began to memorize them but he was a sad case. He stammered and read slowly and I helped him as much as I could.
Everyone was leaving and when we were ready we got up to leave. " Gunjan and Samrat, come over please," said Tamana. My heart was in my legs as I knew why she was calling us. We walked slowly next to her as if we both knew what she was going to tell us. "I'm going to talk straight and plain. You both know that at the ending you have to kiss each other and it has to appear real so both of you have to practice and find a how to make it look real. OK?" Tamana said plainly.
"Sure" we both said in unison. "You can both leave now. See you!" she added. I said bye to both of them and went out quickly. How would I kiss him? How would I feel? Will it be really hard to get it right? I just didn't have an answer for them.
In the first two weeks Samrat came over my house and we practiced our lines together. We were doing really well and we didn't practice the kissing scene. We were going pretty well with each other and we talked about common things but that was all.
On Monday afternoon of the third week we were starting the proper rehearsals as the play was only five days ahead. When we entered the drama room Tamana made us try on our clothes and I got to wear an adorable dress which was pretty much cute.
When we all tried our clothes, the play started and everything was going really well ,but when we arrived at the end me and Samrat just stopped the play by dancing and didn't kiss each other.
"What are you two waiting?" Tamana asked indignantly "I think that I have made it really clear that you two have to kiss at the end." "Yes Tamana mam," I replied quickly, "Saturday night we will do it and it will be good. OK?"
"Fine, but make that you work it out OK?" she replied. I turned to look at Samrat and he looked sort of puzzled. "We will talk about it Friday night. Is it fine with you?" I asked. "Sure," he said, and smiled at me. Weird!- he smiled at me.
That week he didn't come over at my house because we knew the play by heart. Friday afternoon was the last dress rehearsal as the play was going to be on Saturday evening. As always we did our play perfectly and when the play ended everyone started to leave to go home.
"Gunjan, wait a sec. We need to talk." It was Samrat. I looked at him and waited for him to come over. We said goodbye to the few people left and Tamana and we started to walk towards the door
He broke the silence halfway through the long hallway. "You know about tomorrow we have to kiss each other'" he started looking a bit nervous. "Yes, I was going to talk to you about that. I heard of some ways that we would look like we'll be kissing," I told him quickly. After all I knew that he wouldn't like to kiss the geek of the school.
"But how? I don't have any idea!" he replied. We had arrived at the end of the hallway and he opened the door for me. When we were outside it was really dark and windy. I looked at my mobile to check the time. "I'm not really sure that I can stay talking for much longer because I have to catch the 8.30 bus so not to arrive late at home."
"Want me to give you a ride home? We can talk in the car meanwhile," "Sure," I replied quickly.
Who would miss a ride with Samrat? He was so damn attractive! Athletic body, hazel eyes, spiked black hair and the cutest smile ever. OMG! I was soooo into him!
It was just a crush and I surely he didn't like me back! You would think that I have a low-self esteem of myself but, I'm really ugly and no would ever take interest in me [excluding math geeks!].
We walked to the car and he got into the drivers' seat and opened the door next to him for me. I got into his car slowly and put on the seat belt. He started the engine and this time I started talking. "So, what did you want to know?" my heart couldn't stop beating since I got into the car. "How am I going to look as if I will be kissing you. I don't have an idea how we can do it," he replied slowly.
"You will just have to bend your face next to mine but your head will have to be facing the audience. Then we'll sort of move that it would look real. It's not that hard."I started to feel more comfortable second by second and by that time I started to talk to him normally as if it was nothing.
"As you say it looks really easy. We will see how it will go tomorrow. We'll just hope for luck," he replied. His head was on the road and he didn't look at me once.
"How come did you come to the drama club? I never thought that you were a fan of drama," I said trying to make conversation and fill my curiosity.
"I'm not a fan of drama. I have been coming because I got into a fight with another guy and I took all the blame. As a punishment the head told me that I had to interact with different people and so I had to choose between the choir and drama club," he replied looking a bit embarrassed.
"Hmm..I see," I replied. We stayed quiet for a minute or two. "You can stop now," I said and he stopped the engine. "Thanks for the ride. See you tomorrow!" I said and I got out of the car quickly. I walked up to my door and when I looked back he was already gone.
When I entered in the kitchen I found my mother looking happy. She had been supporting and helping me in the last three weeks so that I would make a good impression on stage. "Gunjan' I have great news for you," she started saying.
She was looking really proud as if she had done something really good. "Tomorrow we are going to the orthodontist'" she started, "Againn!!??" I replied.
My mood immediately changed.
"Wait a minute.! Give me chance to speak!" she replied smiling.
Why was she smiling? I looked at her confused...
"Tomorrow you will be removing your braces!" she cried happily.
"WHAT?"... I couldn't believe her!
"For real??" I replied in a loud voice.
Mum nodded her head and I started jumping up and down allover the place.
"Wait a second Gunjan, mores' left.."
"More?" I replied awestruck.
She nodded, "Yes.. Tomorrow before going to the dentist we are going to the hairdresser and you can dye you hair, cut it and straighten it. I know that you always wanted to change your hair so I thought that you would want to look like a real princess tomorrow," she said with a huge smile on her face as if she was going to burst with happiness.
I couldn't believe her, I jumped on her and gave her a big hug "I love you Mum! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! ... but is it all right with dad?" I asked then thinking of my strict father.
"Yes everything is OK. Now you better go to sleep as tomorrow you have a really long day!" she told me and quickly I hugged her and went running up in my bedroom to sleep.
The next day was really busy. At five o'clock in the afternoon I was another Gunjan - the new Gunjan-. I had no braces and glasses (contacts), my hair was cut into layers and straight.
No more waviness at last! I also dyed my hair,Brown. I found myself looking pretty for once and I was really looking forward for that night. I thought how would Samrat's face be once he saw me.
At half past six I was at the school. Tamana mam and my friends were really amazed by my transformation and they gave me a lot of compliments. I went into my own dressing room as I was the star of the play and there was sonia, who did my makeup.
I was dressed in a cute little dress and my hair had small curly hair. It was amazing !
The play started and I hadn't seen Samrat once that night, but I really got into the play and loved doing my scenes. The scene of the ball arrived. After I have been changed by my fairy godmother in my beautiful dress *Bibidi Bobidi Boo!* I went to the ball and there was the prince.
Samrat looked unbelievably gorgeous! When he saw me he looked astounded. His mouth fell open like a goldfish and I looked at him waiting for him to start his lines.
Tamana was saying his part slowly from backstage so that he could hear her. When he heard the first part he began his line and went on really well. He asked me to dance and he couldn't stop looking at me.
"Are you Gunjan?" he whispered in my ear. "No, I'm an alien! ,"I said sarcastically. "Well you look really like a princess tonight," he said. I could feel my heart beating and I was afraid that he could hear it.
He told me that I looked good for God's sake! "You look good too," I replied back. I felt as if I couldn't let him go. His hands pressing on my hips were giving me shivers down my spine. But then like Cinderella, the clock started to chime midnight and I had to run away!
After I ran away from him and dropped my shoe the scene changed to me back in the kitchen scrubbing the floor and dressed in rags -the Last scene! I was really excited to see how it was going to end!
I was cleaning (as usual!) and then the doorbell rang. I went to open and Samrat entered. After being shooed away by my stepmother, my stepsisters tried on the shoe but it didn't fit them. Then I moved myself forward and asked the prince if I could try it.
I sat on a chair and he bent on his knees as he put my shoe on. When he saw that it fitted me he looked at me and smiled. "You are indeed the one I had been looking for.. will you marry me?" he asked me. "Yes, indeed," I said and I smiled at him. He then looked at me and winked. I could feel the butterflies in my stomach. He stood up slowly ,took my hand and leaned forward to kiss me'
