Chapter 3
The Contest Begins

So it was the start of the next day and after the usual jog and dance routine for the boys and girls respectively, followed by the breakfast in the mess, the students gathered in the main hall for the Principal's announcement. The principal said that in the coming week, the process for the election of the new Junior HeadBoy and Junior HeadGirl would begin, through various rounds of tests, to find the most suitable candidates for each post. And for these two candidates, there would be responsibilities as well as perks if they performed well and maintained the reputation of the school, while the current ones would go on to become the Senior HeadBoy and HeadGirl, respectively.

The rules were briefly outlined as follows. There would be two choices for each position, one would represent the majority voted by the teachers, and the other the majority voted by the respective student groups. The teachers choice would depend on the academic performance, the skills, the leading capacity of the student, while the students choice would reflect the popularity of the student along with the ability to communicate effectively. The junior girl group would have an opportunity to choose their representative, in a similar fashion as the junior boy group. All four candidates would then be interviewed by the headmistress to pick the most appropriate choice.

Vibha was excited as she was not the one to shy away from the position of power. Yes, it would come with an added sense of responsibility and extra care to keep the mischievousness within control, but she was prepared to take it on. She was already confident that she would get the girls' vote, as she'd already befriended everyone in her room and also gotten along with the girls from the seniors' dorm. Not that the latter would matter for getting nominated for this post, but it definitely aided in her popularity and credibility. Parth on the other hand was least bit bothered, this announcement to him was as useless as someone trying to make small talk with him. Though he didn't care as to who got elected in the end, he most definitely did not want to waste his power to vote by choosing the wrong guy. He most certainly was not popular among the juniors, let alone the seniors, as he never made an effort to speak to anyone, nor did he look up and smile. He was a true loner.

So the aptitude tests began later that day, and it sure does go without saying that Parth aced the test. He was the brilliantly unsurpassable combination of persevering hard work and sheer intelligence. He was a true bookworm. And Vibha was not far behind. Yes, she did spend a lot of her time doing vher girly things that included gossip, talk about boys, fashion and pranks, but when she set out to achieve something, she gave it her all! She may not have been the school topper like Parth, but she surely had always been in the top few.

The rest of the day classes continued as per the usual routine and a further announcement was made to showcase talents in a couple of days time. Vibha instantly knew what she was going to do. Dance! But there were so many songs to choose from, film songs or traditional ones, both had countless titles, dating back several years. Parth thought of taking part in a timed boxing match, but for that he would need to find a partner. It had always been difficult for him to ask anyone for anything.

It was the next day. The teachers had been observing the students in their own ways to mark their favourites. The students, today, had to put down what it was that they intended to showcase as their talent, so that the necessary arrangements could be made. Luckily for Parth, there was an opponent, the most popular boy in school, well, at least amongst the juniors, Rahul. He was the strong, good-looking playboy from a humongously wealthy family. The girls loved him and wanted to be around him. Vibha obviously didn't need to do this, as he always flirted with her and she gave it back to him sometimes. After all, she had known him since childhood. Now obviously, Parth didn't know this. He was in for a shocking surprise. The list was read out and he found out that he was going to box against Rahul, the only contender. And just as he was preparing to leave the classroom, he heard Rahul speak, and had he not said her name, Parth would have been gone by now. But he stood by the door and kept eavesdropping. Rahul said 'Hey Vibha, so who are you going to support? This new freak or me?' And quick came Vibha's reply 'Of course you Rahul, after all, hum bachpan ke dost hai!' Rahul was excited and said 'Now that's like my girl'. Vibha held his hand to take it off her shoulder and nodded to show she never was his girl, and never could be. And just that very moment, a surprised Parth turned around and looked at her. She felt like someone was watching her and looked up, whilst still holding Rahul's hand, and saw Parth by the door. And as their eyes met, Parth looked away and the next second he was gone. Vibha paused to think what possibly could have happened to Parth to stop and stare at her, but his coldness and his weird behaviour made her force herself to think of better things.

It was a rather cloudy morning the next day. And as Vibha woke up earlier than usual with the noisy, roaring clouds, she decided to walk along the corridor for some fresh breeze. She instantly thought of getting changed and practicing some dance moves in the room, as everyone was fast asleep and the thought of no one disturbing her made perfect sense for a rehearsal routine. But as she walked along towards the corridor leading to the dance rooms, she heard random noise coming out of the Gymnasium. She tried to peep in through the window but was unable to see past the exercise machines. She walked towards the doors and opened then ever so slightly to see a serious looking Parth hitting away at the boxing punch bag. He looked determined and focussed. She slowly let a smile spread on her face as she appreciated his hard work and determination. But he felt the breeze hitting his body and looked around to find Vibha through the slightly opened doors. He couldn't help but give her a piercing glance, which immediately wiped off her smile and made her uncomfortable, not because she was scared of him, cause she was not, but because she felt he didn't like that sort of attention. So she hurriedly closed the doors and walked away. He resumed doing what he did best, roll his eyes, nod his head and then back to punching!

She turned on the music and started listening to songs and danced along, stopping every now and then to think of steps to include and make her movement more graceful. Dancing soothed her nerves, it took her into a different world, where she could express herself without needing to talk, she could be happy without needing to smile or laugh, she could be peaceful yet emotional, and where she could let herself go even by being fully in control. She closed her eyes and she imagined Parth staring at her. She quickly stopped and opened her eyes to find no one around. 'Why did his image flash in front of my eyes if he really wasn't here?' she wondered. 'But I know I'm not going crazy' she thought again, 'So he must be around her somewhere'. She checked around the door, the window and also walked down the corridor. It still didn't bring peace to her mind, so she walked back to the gym to see if he was still there. She tried to look inside from the window yet again, but can't see anything beyond the exercise machines, just like the last time. So she stood near the doors, pausing to think whether or not to open the them and disturb Parth one more time. She listened to her mind and opened the doors slowly, and leaned in. And just the very moment, she felt two quick successive taps on her shoulder. She was startled and turned around and looked visibly shocked, it was Parth!

Vibha: Parth? Tumne to mujhe dara hi diya.
Parth: Sorry.
Vibha: Tum yaha...
Parth: I was going to ask you the same thing.
Vibha: Zyada smart mat bano... Waise toh bade hi chup chap se rehte ho... Aur chori chori mujhe dance karte hue dekh rahe the?
Parth: Kya?

He was genuinely confused. Everytime she came back to say something to him, it was always out of context, and always led him to question her sanity.

Vibha: Ha, bolo, kaha the tum? Koi answer nahi hoga tumhare paas... Kyunki mujhe pata hai ki tum...

He couldn't bare to hear more of her accusations, so acting out of character, he put his hand on her mouth to stop her from saying another word, and pointed towards the sign that read toilets. And as he let go of his hand, he could see the fire in her eyes turning into guilt for throwing false accusations at him.

Vibha: Woh... woh mujhe laga ki...
Parth: Its okay.

And as he said that, he started to walk off, but she ran and stopped him.

Vibha: Arey, meri baat abhi khatam bhi nahi hui ki tum chal diye?

Parth gave her one of her cold looks with wide eyes, almost as if to show that it was a chore waiting for her to complete talking, as her talks just never seemed to end.

Vibha: Woh, sorry! Pehle ke liye bhi, aur abhi ke liye bhi.

He realized that she was referring to disturbing him earlier and for misjudging him now. He accepted her apology by batting his eyelids as per usual and walked away. She turned around and was about to go, but stopped and looked back at him. 'Why did I see him when I closed my eyes?' she thiught, 'perhaps cause he is so strange and seems so mysterious'. She gently tapped her head for being carried away and went back to dance.

This ff is too good. I'm glad you've created new characters rather then using old ones. I like the idea of Rahul being Vibha's childhood friend. So his from a wealth background and is attracted to Vibha. I'm loving the chirpy Vibha, she's cute. If Vibha hadn't been a teacher in the show, would have loved her character to be as such.

Can't wait for the next part!!!
