I have never ever written before but reading the awesome stuff you guys write here, I too felt like writing. So a big thank you to all the writers for inspiring me.
Please give your sincere comments..whether you liked/dislikes/suggestions/improvisations anything and everything is welcomed.
So here you go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lincoln High School
The school is bustling with activities. The basketball season is coming up. The annual day is right around the corner. Every corridor was weaving talents together.
In the basketball court:
Stacey: Come on Mel you can do it...tackle Naomi yes yes yes...there you go girl
Zoya:Wohooo Mel you've become a lot better at your game hun. Keep going and nobody can stop us from winning the cup this year.
Melissa: Aye aye captain...the cup belongs to us.
Zoya Farooqui is in her senior year of High School and is the captain of the basketball team. They have been winning since the past 2 years and this year too they want to win since it's their senior year.
Coach: Okay girls lets wrap up its time for your class. Well meet again after class
The girls proceed towards the canteen to grab a snack before class.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the canteen:
A bunch of students of the school band are working on a tune.
Ayaan: Asad this is our senior year. This time we definitely have to win dude...since the last two years we've been runners up. This year we'll do whatever it takes to be winners.
Asad: Yes Ayaan don't worry. This time nothing will stop us bro.
Asad Ahmed Khan and Ayaan Sheikh are best friends and are in their Senior Year too. They are a part of the school band. Ayaan plays the guitar and Asad is the lead singer and he too plays the guitar.
Just then the girls' basketball team entered the canteen. They are the star of their school. Dressed in white jerseys and red shorts, they make every guy go weak in their knees.
Zoya heard his mesmerizing voice and immediately looked for him. She spotted him and was rooted to her spot. She kept staring at him. He was singing "Fix You " by Coldplay- Zoya's favourite band!!!
Asad was unaware of Zoya's gaze on him. He was engrossed with the song.
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
He suddenly looked up. Their eyes met. He sang the last line of the song looking at her.
And I will try to fix you
A blush crept on Zoya's cheeks. She smiled at him and walked away hurriedly.
Asad: Holy crap the color on her cheeks makes me wanna smash my lips against hers. Ugh he groaned. I need to do something.
Ayaan: Dude prom is only a week away. And guys have already started asking out girls. You need to hurry up before someone else asks her.
Dixon: Yeah bro I've heard Ross has the hots for her and is gonna ask her out soon. And she obviously won't say no to the captain of the football team.
Max: Oooh they'll make a hot couple at the prom- Captain of the basketball team and Captain of the football team. Superb.
Asad: Shut up all of you. I won't let her go with anybody except me.
Ayaan: Hahahah that's what you said before the last prom too.
Asad: Glaring at him. This year I will make her mine.
Dixon: We'll see bro.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zoya: Hey Stace so who are you going to the Prom with??
Melissa: Mike has asked her out. What about you Zoe?
Stacey: Yes Zoe who do you want to go with?? You already turned down Jimmy and Tyler and rumour has it that Ross wants you to be his prom date.
Melissa: Omg that is gonna be so awesome.
Zoya was hardly listening to the conversation. She was constantly looking at Asad. She wants to go to the prom with Asad.
Stacey: Zoe where are you lost. Omg Zoe this year too you're expecting him to ask you out??????? Dream on babe I think he's gonna chicken out this year too. You should say yes to Ross you guys make a hot couple.
Zoya: Shut up Stace. I'm not interested in Ross or any other guy. I only have hots for Mr. Asad Ahmed Khan. He is the one who rules my dreams. Haaa! she looks at him dreamily. And if this year he won't ask me out then I will go and ask him to be my Prom date.
Melissa: Zoe you are impossible. Only you can think of doing such things.
Zoya: Okay it's time for my history class I need to rush. See you girls at practice.
Plastering a huge grin on her face she went for class. History was the only class she and Asad had in common.
Zoya: What the f**k why has he not come for class. Stupid stupid stupid guy. We have one common class but no he can't even come for it. Idiot. Huffing in annoyance.
5 mins later Asad was standing by the door panting. Zoya's face lit up but she faked anger.
Asad: Mr. Fitz can I please come in.
Mr. Fitz: You're late Mr. Khan. Please take your seat.
Asad: Sorry Mr. Fitz.
All this time his eyes were plastered on Zoya. He smiled inwardly seeing her angry. He took his usual seat next to Zoya.
History class was the only place where Asad and Zoya communicated. Not through words though...but by passing notes.
Asad: Grinning like a fool he wrote a note and passed it to her.
Zoya read the note "Sorry. You look cute when angry". She smiled inwardly and thought of playing around. She wrote something and passed it to him.
Zoya: Who said I'm angry and sorry for what?
He smiled
Asad: I am familiar with every expression on your face.
Zoya: (trying hard not to smile) Is it?
Asad: Yes. How was practice?
Zoya: Good. I heard you sing in the canteen today. I'm sure you'll bring home the cup this year.
Asad: Thanks. I hope so too.
Zoya had not changed her clothes and her seeing her sitting in those red hot shorts next to him made it hard for Asad to control. He groaned inwardly seeing her creamy never ending legs.
Zoya: Is something wrong?
Asad was busy staring at her.
Mr. Fitz: Mr Khan it seems your attention is lost somewhere.
Asad was still lost.
Zoya: Asad what are you doing Mr. Fitz is calling you.
Asad: Uh um I'm sorry professor I was just uh...(allah miyan kya hogaya mujhe..ab to detention pakka hai)
Mr. Fitz: Answer my question Mr Khan.
Between which countries was the Hundred Years war mainly fought?
Asad didn't have any clue as to what was going on in the class..he was embarrassed and looked here and there.
Zoya quickly wrote the answer on a paper and passed it to him.
Asad: France and England
Mr. Fitz: You got lucky Mr. Khan but next time you may not so please pay attention.
He was writing a thank you note to Zoya but she hit him on his hand and mouthed "Pay attention".
He smiled and said okay. He held zoya's hand under the desk. She was shocked as this was the first time he did so. He himself was appalled by his actions. He kept smiling but looked straight ahead.
Now it was Zoya's turn. She was lost and kept staring at him.
Asad: (looking at her) he mouthed "pay attention".
Zoya was flustered and looked ahead smiling.
Soon the class got over and Asad immediately left Zoya's hand and started to leave but Zoya held his wrist.
Zoya: walk with me. Please?
Asad: Sure lets go. You uh wanna go out for a coffee um in the evening? I mean only um if you um are free?
Zoya: Oh I'd love to but I am going Prom shopping with my mom at the mall.
She cursed that her mom had to take her shopping today of all days. She so wanted to go with Asad.
Asad: Oh no problem. Some other day.
He got an idea. He too decided to go to the mall. He smiled inwardly.
Zoya: Um okay I have to go for practice. I'll see you tomorrow. And please don't be late.
Asad: No I won't bye. Flashing his dimples.
See you in the evening Ms Basketball he said to himself. Ruffling his hair he walked away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the Mall:
Zeenat: Zoya look at this dress it's so pretty. It will look very good on you.
Zoya: No way mom it's pink and frilly. Look for something sober.
Zeenat: Theek hai. Ye kaisa hai showing her a few more dresses.
Zoya was distracted. She was least interested in buying dresses. Her mind kept wandering to Asad.
Her phone vibrated. It was a text from Asad. Her face lit up immediately.
Asad: Im in the mall. Are you still there?
Zoya was so happy that he was here too. She was thinking whether he came to mall just to meet her. She replied back.
Zoya: Yes Im in the dress section.
Asad: Okay see you.
Zeenat: Zoya kyu entrance pe baar baar dekh rahi hai. Koi aa raha hai kya?
Zoya: Nahi ammi wo bas aise hi. She saw Asad and flashed her dimples.
Zeenat: Acha tell me how is this dress? She put a peach dress against Zoya.
Zoya was feeling conscious because of Asad's presence. She looked around and found him standing in a corner. Asad saw the dress and indicated his thumb in downward direction.
Zoya: No ammi not this dress. Show something else.
Zeenat: Acha what about this red one?
Zoya looked up at Asad again for his opinion. He rejected it. Zeenat kept showing dresses and Zoya kept looking at Asad for his opinion. He rejected most of them.
Zeenat: Ya Allah Zoya tumhe kuch pasand hi nahi aa raha hai.
Zoya too was annoyed. Just then Asad saw a beautiful lilac dress and pointed at it.
Zoya: Ammi ye dekhiye kitna pretty dress hai and she held it against her and looked at Asad. Finally he showed thumbs up making Zoya blush.
Zoya: Ammi I'll buy this dress.
Zeenat: Shukar hai tumhe kuch to pasand aaya.
Zoya: Ammi you pay the bill I'll be there in a minute.
She hurriedly went to meet Asad.
Zoya: Hi thank...
Asad: Before you say something please let me speak. He took her hands in his and looked into her eyes.
Ms. Zoya Farooqui will you please give me the privilege of taking you to the Prom as my date?
Zoya was ecstatic. Finally she will be able to go to prom with her.
Zoya: Of course yes!!!!!!!!!!! Im so glad that you finally asked me OMG. You know I had decided that in case you wouldn't ask me this year then I would come forward and ask you to be my date. Thanks for saving me from the embarrassment.
Asad: Oh had I known that I wouldn't have asked you. I would have been on cloud 9 knowing that the hot captain of bb team wanted me as her Prom date. Mischief clearly seen in his eyes. He was smirking.
Zoya: Hitting his arm Allah Miyan Asad you are such an ass. Hmpf she turned away.
Asas: Ow Zoya this is the second time you've hit me today.
Turning her around and cupping her face he said
Asad: Zoya I was just kidding. I wouldn't have let anybody take you to prom this year. Flashing his dimples.
Zoya heard her mom calling her.
Zoya: Uh Asad I need to go now my mom's looking for me. Btw thanks I'll see you at school tomorrow. Bye.
She turned to leave but Asad held her wrist.
Asad: Stay please.
Zoya: Uh um ok I'll call my mom and tell her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Asad: So Zoya tumhari to shopping ho gayi. Now it's your turn to help me shop.
Zoya: Tumhe kya chahiye?
Asad: A pocket square to go with your dress.
Zoya: color crept on her cheeks. Ok let's go get you a pocket square.
They both went and bought a matching pocket square. They were walking hand in hand and both couldn't stop smiling.
Zoya was on cloud 9. She was already dreaming about the prom. Her first dance with him. Her first kiss...yes she had saved her first kiss for him. A blush crept up her cheeks thinking about the kiss. She looked at him and smiled.
Asad too was on cloud 9. He was happy that he had finally found the courage to ask her out. He would make the prom night very special for her. He would by the corsage for her. He had already started to imagine Zoya in that dress. He too blushed and looked at her with affection.
Asad bought her an ice-cream and she was eating in his car. They reached Zoya's house.
As Zoya was getting out of his car, Asad held her hand and she looked at him.
He leaned in and kissed the corner of her lips. Making sure to not touch her lips, he licked away the ice-cream.
Asad: That was the best ice-cream I've ever had.
Zoya blushed hard and ran out of the car. She went to her porch turned around and blew him a flying kiss.
Both flashed their dimpled smiles at each other.
