I aggressively hit the ball with my hockey stick in field, the level of my anger increased. I agree girls are no less than boys but in this case it was hockey, not a cake walk. This year's inter college hockey tournament had some changes. The new rule concluded that girls and boys would have combine match.
Our college had an excessive population of Bimbo heads, so I was carefree as no girl would opt for it and only guys would be there but today evening coach informed a girl would be joining our team. A single girl in team of guys.
Almost everyone had left, I too packed my things to leave. "Let her come, I'll see for how long she can handle Hockey."
Next morning we all waited for her in the field, I was pretty sure she would be Bimbo who is just here to give a chance and will leave before first half. "Where is she Now? why can't girls be on time. I'm sure she would be adjusting her make up." I said to Swayam.
"Dude chill, aah jayegi. Why are you being so hyper?"
The coach gave a look at his watch, A girl(look) came running in the sports field. It must be her. "There she comes. So boys she is Kria Ghai, State level winner of Uttarakhand(Dehradun) and Kria, He's Reyaansh our team captain."
She forwarded her hand, "Hi Reyaansh" I shook my hand with a smirk, " So Miss Kria didn't anyone inform you that a sports person must be on time."
"My reporting time was 7 am and there are still 4 minutes to 7 so I guess I'm here before time." She answered me back, How dare she? No one has ever dared to answer me back.
"So Boys and Kria.. lets start." Coach said.
I had thought she would be good only in words but she was an Amazing player, I mean she was good on the field and too fast in attacking.
"So Reyaansh kaisi lagi?" Swayam said in sports room when I came out of the washroom. "Kya kaisi lagi?"
"Kya nahi kaun... I mean Kria kaisi lagi?"
"She's good." I hesitated in appreciating her. "Bus good?" he said with weird expression. "I know you are impressed by her but its not so easy to impress me. Got that."
"Got it Bro."
My prediction said that she won't be able to adjust with boys and again she proved me wrong. She didn't only adjust but was very comfortable with my gang which I never liked. My best friend Swayam was like her best friend now.
The team was preparing itself for the first level of match in the ground, I was Goal keeper. Kria's(look) position was near the goalpost, her dressing sense was getting on my nerve day by day. I was trying hard not to look her her. She ran towards the goalpost to hit the goal.
Her slender legs and perfect waist were driving my attention towards them, "Focus Rey" I said to myself but it was too late before I could come out the view, Ball had already hit the net.
In break she was sitting with my friends serving snacks prepared by her mom and I sat in a corner. "Reyaansh wahan akela kyu baitha hai. Come here." Swayam called. "No dude. Im fine here" Kria got up from her seat and came to me.
She kept Snacks and coffee in my plate, "Do try them." She said. I didn't pay any attention to it till everyone was present there but when everyone left I took a bite. It was so yummy, I made sure not a single piece was left on my plate.
Getting annoyed from my changed behaviour Swayam asked at once, "Why are you so rude to Kria?"
"Please I don't wanna talk about her, and im not being rude."
"Don't Lie, jab se wo ayi hai you've changed. Your always in irritated mood. Brother what's the matter?" I threw my towel in a corner, "You are asking me this? You also know uske aane se sab change ho gaya hai she took everything from me, even you Swayam. Tum kabhi mere bff the now you are only her friend not only you whole gang is her fan now."
She was perfect in almost everything in studies, hockey, cooking and really pretty also. Her perfection irritated me a lot as it took away everything which was mine once. I hated her to core. Her performance was rising by every match.
A day before our final match, when I entered the common room everyone was hooting for Kria. Now what great achievement she has secured. "Congrats Kria" Vicky said. "Ya! Kria you have done it." Nilesh continued.
"Coach is really impressed by you Kria, finally you are our Captain." Swayam said. *Captain* word rang in my ears. She was our captain? No one told me that I've been removed from the captain's post. I couldn't take in anymore and simply went inside.
"Hey Rey, tumhe pata hai Kria..." I didn't let Swayam complete. "I heard it and what he hell is going on. Asking is a later thing you didn't even told me about this" I shouted. "Rey, We were waiting for you to come.. and aap.." Kria said. I cut her words.
"Shut up... just Shut up... this is all because of you. Jab se ayi ho you've made my life hell, pehle you took away my gang then my best friend. Now you've taken my position also of Captain, these were all your tactics to be ther center of attraction right? Cheapster"
Drops of tears fell from her eyes, I left the room and went to Sports room to take my stuff. While packing my bag got stuck in the locker, I hit the locker Almira. A diary fell from the locker in the last row, Kria Ghai was written on it.
I was about to throw but then thought of reading it maybe this could help me to expose her ideas so I kept it in my bag. On reaching home I locked my room and took out her diary.
It was my first day in St louis. I reached there running but luckily got there on time actually 4 minutes before time. It was nice to meet all of them except one Reyaansh who was the cutest among all. His choclate brown eyes and that smile but he wasn't so polite with me... I hope with time there's a change.
I don't know what problem he had with me, he was always so rude with me. I always tried to be polite with him as he's my secret crush. I tried to impress her with my hockey skills but didn't appreciated me even once..
With time nothing changed so I thought of making a change by making a change in my dressing sense. I wore little shorter clothes thinking that his eyes will spare a look at me bt no use... then I used mom's cooking skills to impress him but he hasn't even had a bite when I served...
Finally I got back to my own hockey skills to leave an impression on my love Yeaaah my LOVE... I had fallen for him head over heels. After semi finals Coach made me his assistant I mean Assistant Captain. I'm so excited to be his assistant as he's the best Captain we could ever had and best player also... I hope he's happy too after listening to this news... Now I'm just waiting for tomorrow..
Ohh my gawd...What mess I've created, She was chosen as my assistant. All this while I was thinking she is trying to snatch my ownings but in reality she was trying to impress me. She took all the pain just to make me fall and I stupid took them as her tactics. Moreover she was so excited to be my assistant and I shouted on her without even listening... I have to clear this out.
Next morning I reached college for the final match. Team was near the bus but no clue of Kria, "Where is she guys?" I asked. "She has refused to play this match and all because of you. She never wanted to be the Captain, She was appointed as your Assistant" Swayam said.
"I know.. I know.. Where is she?"
"Sports room" Vicky said. "I'll get her."
I move to the sposrts room to get her, She(look) was sitting on the bench weeping. Don't know why? But I was hurt seeing her cry. I went near her, "Kria" She looked at me, I gave her my handkerchief.
She looked other side, I sat in front of her and wiped off her tears. She took handkerchief from my hand any cleaned her nose then gave it back in my hand. I laughed mentally at her cuteness. "Kria, Please I'm" but she started speaking.
"Rey, I'm sorry for whatever I did. Truly speaking I never wanted to take your place. I just wanted to be a part of your team so I was trying my level best to be your friend but I didn't knew it would hurt you. I was happy to be your assistant and..." She went on and on...
Getting restless I kissed her on her lips, my lips tingled between hers with my hand tightening grip on her waist. After some time we broke taking some air, she looked down blushing. "Kria please will you play today's match. Its not possible to win without you."
She nodded. "Aur haan Kria, jacket pehen ke aana, I don't want other players to drool over you." It was all her hard work which made us win as I was busy looking at her. Shouting victory Chants we came back to college.
Everyone from team was present there so it was the perfect time to say, I held her hand and kneeled down. "Miss Kria Ghai, Im apologizing for my rudeness, my nasty behaviour, shouting on you,hurting you that day. All I wana say right now is Im sorry for creating that mess... And I LOVE YOU"
Hooting began around us making her blush, She pulled up saying a "I love you too" in my ears. Volume of hooting increased as she said those words. I pecked her lips and took her in my arms.
