Halls of Fame part 10

The next day, Fresca was late for her classes and had missed a big opportunity. She had badly wanted to take part in the auditions of the Wilde Berry Productions new series-Halls of Fame. The script evolves around two people who met by destiny whose opposite attitudes slowly change as they get to know each other and stick up for each other forever despite various controversies that occur in their lives.

Adam had jumped with joy when he saw that he got selected by the crew and disseminated it to Fresca. They were both really excited for Adam.
Adam:But I wanted to do the series with you
Fresca:Some other time Adam!Now I'll get more chances to tease you.Haha!!Oh yes may I ask you why in the world you nominate dme for the Best Friend of the Month award for??
Adam:I thought you deserve it for our friendship.It is a great title!!By the way you are welcome!!!
Fresca:Thanks a tonne. Anyways I have a badminton tournament this weekend at the Samtas hall in our college. You might wanna come.
Adam:I think I am busy .Sorry!!
Fresca:It's ok. Hey I will catch you later as I got an appointment with Mr Smith.
Fresca left.
Adam: Well I m not gonna leave this opportunity. I will be there for you no matter what!!I'll support you till the end!!

Adam received a call at night. It was James. James had called to inform him that Adam has gotten a main lead in wilde Berry's new series and therefore he has to spend more time with the crew from tomorrow onwards.James further told him that this was a clear message from Eddy-the personal assistant of Wilde Berry.

Just then Adam realized that Fresca's badminton tournament was tomorrow.

Halls of Fame part 11

The next day, Adam had woken up early and went to the college to see fresca and gave her a cap written:You Rock Fresca and went to Samtas Hall to see her play!!

Little did he realize about his play and that practically everyone was waiting for him. When he reached the drama theatre, the room was quiet. Not a single person waited to hear his apology. Only 5 words greeted him:You are so screwed up!!

Monday of the following week had not been easy for both Fresca and Adam. Fresca was extremely angry with him for not prioritizing. She kept chiding Adam but Adam is so quiet.

Fresca:Now what Adam? You have really lost your chance to fame.
Adam(kept his finger to Fresca's lips):Sshh…Gosh you talk too much. Now you listen to me!!I did not want to miss your tournament as it meant a lot to me. It showed your passion in winning and your determination just made me feel so small. I didn't even realize how time flew so damn quickly and I didn't feel bad for missing the play!!

Fresca just felt so strange with Adam's soft tone and how he left the cafeteria just like that. Fresca thought deeply about what Adam was trying to tell her subtly but the more she thought the more confused she became

The college prom night was held every year for all students, including the fresh students out there about to progress into the senior year like Adam Kerry and Fresca Jones. Fresca was sulking at this prospect and found it real crappy with a waste of time in sheer entertainment. On the other hand, Adam thought of it as an opportunity to fame by flirting around and looking more glamorous,aiming for the Hot-O-Meter based on how hot a couple looks on the night itself.

Fresca was amused by Adam's thinking and left for her classes.

Adam, on the other hand, has been trying to impress the girls in his batch. One after another—he was determined not to give up. Adam finally decided to have a bet with Fresca and James.

Present moment-in lecture theatre

Adam:Stop laughing. You both don't know how easily girls fall for me
Fresca:Yea rite..we know about it since we have not observed you for the past two to three weeks
James:And almost none could say 'no' to you indeed!!
Adam:Let's have a bet—The next girl who comes into this lecture theatre will be my other half for the college prom night.
Fresca:Let's see who the lucky girl is

OMG!!!Fresca, James and Adam were frozen with shock!!

Halls of Fame part 12

OMG!!!Fresca, James and Adam were frozen with shock!!

It was none other than Presca Bynes!!Much as Fresca and James wanted to maintain a shocked expression on their faces, they just rolled on and started laughing. Adam looked at them as though Fresca and James were alien to him

Presca went forward to Adam and asked him for the college prom night. Adam had an expression-which conveyed BINGO!!Presca went to her seat and had already started her gossipy talk with her two best buddies who are no doubt, damn irritated for both had been eyeing Adam too but just couldn't muster the courage to ask him out. Either that or the fact that they feared rejection and the fact that Presca might know shook their guts out!!
Fresca and James just couldn't contain their excitement for Adam!!

Fresca:Finally you've won the bet Addy. But seriously Presca asking you out even after the detention incident?Guess she hasn't known about it,yeah?
Adam:No one knows it that I was behind it so just shut it and James you are coming to the prom night,right??With whom??
James:Sorry Adam.I won't be able to make it as I'm spending the day alone, cherishing my true friend's love and memories!!Wait a second..Who are you going out with,Fresca??

Both James and Adam were looking blankly at Fresca!!
Fresca:What??Did I say I m coming? Look,frankly speaking, I have no dates and perhaps I won't/
Adam:Now since I have won the bet you'll do what I say and you will come to the prom nite and that too with someone!!Thatz it ..no more arguments!!

Fresca:But Addy!!
Adam:No buts!!

Fresca is ever puzzled and annoyed too, thinking of where to get a guy who's likely to entertain her for the night.

Fresca tried all means to coax Adam into taking his words back but to no avail. In the mean time, James tried to warn Adam.

James:Listen Addy you never know she may come with anybody in the nick of time
Adam:James, she won't be able to.I am certain of that
James:What if she did?Then you'll be h itting yourself with your own trap!!
Adam was silently regretting but tried to reassure him and James that nothing of the sort will happen!!

Halls of Fame part 13

Fresca was at home and she was about to go out but she had someone at the door. Fresca was totally shocked!!It was her cool buddy whom she had studied with since childhood but she had lost touch with him for the past eight months. He looked so charming with his shoulder-length hair with a great array of colourful flowers for Fresca.

Fresca welcomed Frank, her childhood mate into her home!!

Frank had been working 24/7 at his own restaurant in London, earning recognition for all kinds of Western food but what caused his success was Fresca's idea of introducing special Indian dishes beginning with appetizers and then with spicy pakoras and tea-time foodies. Now Frank is taking a long break from his work, which is being handled by his partner and his love, Jolene.

Fresca spent her entire day with Frank. Frank was all-smiles and intrigued by her self-motivation to think wisely and move ahead in life. Frank mde dinner for Fresca and both had a ball. James came back, tired after a football match with Adam.

Fresca introduced Frank to Adam, who was apparently irritated by Frank's presence. James had a great time with Frank as usual but Adam was the least interested in their conversation on national crises and left after eating dinner, sulking across the journey to his home. James pretended to be oblivious of what's happening and conversed ahead with Frank.

James had headed back home early that evening and Frank talked with fresca for hours about her school and life. Just then, Fresca stopped mid-way and asked Frank about the prom nite.

Fresca:Hey I was just wondering if you were free next week as I m haing a prom nite and I need to go there with a guy and right now I have no dates..
Frank:Aha,I have known you for ages. I would love to come bu I had agreed to go out with Jolene as we had not gone out for months and I decided to shut her complaint box by going out..But I m sure some guy out there will be your lucky charm for the nite!!I will take your leave as it is pretty late already!!
Fresca:Alrito Frank.You have my handphone number and make sure you contact me and keep in touch!!See ya..
Frank:Hey I enjoyed the dinner we made together
Fresca:Yea perfectionist I enjoyed too and had a blast..See ya
Frank:See ya too!!

Fresca had been quite sad as she had not even gotten a date yet and the prom nite is next week. But soon she realized that she could actually coax James to go with her. However she realized that James will not want to go with her as James wanted to be left alone as he wants to cherish Ari's love and their fond memories. Fresca decided to wait for the right moment.

Halls of Fame part 14

The next day, a famous journalist came over for an hour to share his experiences when he had first embarked on his career two years back. He had brought up an exciting offer of a volunteer to be chosen randomly at that spot to work with him for three months which was a rare yet fantastic an experience not to be missed out. And he chose Adam Kerry. Fresca was so elated and excited that she had come forward and kissed Addy lightly on his right cheek. Adam had gone blank at the spot and just gazed at her with true love for her subtle gesture, assuring himself that this time, he will not let neither her or himself down and started beliving in himself.

After the talk the journalist looked for Fresca and he called her out from her Journalism class.
Fresca:Nice talk, buddy. Didn't know that you have transformed so much and by the way you look really smart too
Zac:Thanks Fresca. Oh yes, I will like you to know that Adam will definitely work with me. I want you to be assured that Adam will soon rock in journalism as both me and you see the growing passion in his eyes.
Fresca:Alright Zac you might be busy so I will see you some other time
Zac:Hey wait.Just hear me out!!By the way I sent you the anonymous CD with your song shoot and poems.I really loved your energy and zest when you expressed yourself.
Fresca:Ah..now I get it. Your sister, Ari used to tell me a lot about you and how you admire my style. I m glad to have met my crush and the support you have given me and James in times of need!!Thanx buddy!!

Zac and fresca hugged and parted, with smiles on both of their faces. Adam was speechless after hearing them out.

halls of fame

The week was filled with disappointed hearts as the Dean announced that the prom nite will be delayed for another 3 months as a particular trend was observed that students performed better if there are no silly or trivial matters disturbing them before the exams. And Fresca was the saddest of them all as she's gonna miss Addy instead of the delay in the prom nite.

As days passed by reluctantly, the students were busy preparing for their promotion into the third year. While Fresca prepared, she had also sent tonnes of emails to Addy, with details on how boring her days have become without being able to tease or play pranks on him.

The exams were approaching but Fresca was also preparing for her final badminton tournament;she's finding it difficult to cope with her studies and tournament and what more can Fresca suffer as Presca bynes had to team up with her and play against the Wonder Girls of Burbury College, one of the tough teams Fresca had ever played with.

James had tried his optimal best to motivate Fresca to continue with the tournament but Fresca just can't be bothered with the "oomph" of Presca who thinks she has it all, looking down upon Fresca. Worse still, Presca had to shove Fresca during trainings. Fresca couldn't tolerate any further .

Fresca:Do you mind Presca?We have to cooperate in order to win this tournament.
Presca:You don't have to teach me a single thing. Get out of my way!!
Fresca:I will not go so easily. Think about it PResca!!You can't play this by yourself!!
Presca:My girls are with me and so you don't have to worry for me
Fresca:And where are they??I don't see them
Presca:They were here..a minute ago!!Erm..they have gone to get me refreshments
Fresca:Look Presca!!It is the college's reputation that is at stake!!
Presca:Hey you..i am the best player around and the coach has chosen me!!
Fresca:Let me tell you one thing clearly..In any sport, it is not any individual but the team work and rapport that is significant. And not the damn superiority complex of yours!!
Presca:Get the hell outta here..I don't even think you are worthy to make our college proud..You're such an idiot!!

Presca shoved Fresca out of the hall. Fresca packed up and went somewhere to spend some time peacefully and headed for home, preparing for her examz!!

Frustration became a part of Fresca's life. James and Frank noticed it and decided to get it out of her life. They brought Fresca for badminton practices in between her breaks during her studies and work. She had a blast, having the frustration bid goodbye to her.

Examz were finally over and the tournament had begun. PResca was playing well and it is not surprising that her co-player is not there but cheering for the college from the podium. Presca was aware of her mistake but her egoistic nature stops her and proceeded with the tournament and won it marginally.

The entire tournament was taped and Fresca was watching it. She was feeling bad that she wasn't playing with PResca especially when she needed her support. She started to feel miserable but she felt proud of Presca as she realized how difficult it must have been for Presca and the reserve players to achieve victory by a small margin of points. She silently thanked Presca,"Presca your ego has won and gained us fame.Thanks!!

She silently thanked Presca,"Presca your ego has won and gained us fame.Thanks!!

She went to bake a cake when she heard the doorbell. It was James and Frank. Frank took over and decided to bake a chocolatey coffee cake and celebrated the victory with Fresca and James. All decided to just chit-chat till late night with some DVDs.James suddenly realized and announced that Zac and Adam are coming back tomorrow.

The next day, Adam and Zac were welcomed with open arms and the entire day the students were at the all attending no lectures. It was truly a big day for the college.Adam was rought to the stage to talk about his experiences for the past 3 months with Mr Zac Milton.

Adam told the girls who were crazy over him that he had missed all of them but most importntly he had almost died of the tortures he faced mentally at Johannesburg. In spite of him losing his wallet, he was mesmerized by how a family of three whom he was working with, depended on each other, toiling day and night who had no time to worry over them being ridiculed over matters considered BIG for us who are living in the hustle and bustle of daily life.

In the means of narrating his experiences, Adam was looking at Fresca who had her eyes welled up and a sincere smile on her face. Just then, Zac told Fresca something and Fresca just left the hall.Adam stopped there abruptly and the Dean took over, announcing that oce Adam had tarnished the reputation of the collegeof his act but she is ever more proud that Adam had learnt various modes of life through a fully utilized opportunity!!

She had also announced that the prom nite will be scheduled three days after and Fresca and Zac were given the responsibility to arrange the hall within the short span of time.

Fresca and zac, meantime are wondering what to do within these three days.James and frank came over and decided to help them out. James decided to cheer Fresca up with his romantic and melodious collections as well as his latest remixes and volunteered for DJ-ing the entire night with Frank and Jolene.

Fresca seized the opportunity of asking Zac to the prom nite and Zac promptly saud yes, provided that FReca wore the attire that she wore for the song shoot as in the CD he sent her. Fresca was elated,did a elated jig but clumpsily fell in Zac's arms when Adam arrived

halls of fame-part 17

Fresca balanced herelf and welcomed Addy.Zac went off and Fresca made a drink for Addy. James had come with addy.

James:Didnt I tell you?Now do i smell ashes of jealousy??Just relax..itz just a dance
Addy:I dont care;i want you to make things in a way that I can dance with her and tell her my feelings!!
James:What will I get in return?
Addy:My happiness...Isn't that good enough??
James:What a good cheeky try of yours...Try with someone else but not me!!

James left and Adam was feeling miserable seeing the progressive, blooming relationship between Zac and Fresca.

Itz da prom nite.....

Zac called up Fresca and told her that he wanted to tell her something personal. Fresca kept her flat dark and the curtains drawn. Zac came through a side door form behind.

Fresca:What's the matter Zac?You sounded strange yesterday, today you look so disheveled and unkempt. What's the matter?
Zac:I went to Bradford Road for an important meeting on the edition of the articles for tomorrow's paper and after the meeting, I bumped into your step-dad and mom who were so lethargic and famished. They did not know who I am, except that they were showing your picture and wandering around. Suddenly I heard some gun shots and I brought them away from the site and into my editorial firm nearby. I received a call and excused myself as I couldn't hear properly. After my call, all I saw was my site being bombed and I realized your parents were stuck in the printing section and I couldn't save them,Fresca!!
Fresca:Noooooooooo!!!!!This just can't be...OMG!!!!

Fresca kept screaming but Zac tried to stop her. He slappd her tightly across and hugged her, asking for forgiveness that he couldn't save them and extremely guilty. Just then the phone rang. It was James, asking if Fresca is coming for the prom nite or not.Fresca answered yes and quickly hung up, leaving James in thoughts.

Fresca cried and wwept. After two long hours, Fresca and ZAc were equally disheartened and a sudden, bleak stmosphere transformed into an unexpected phone call whereby both fresca and Zac are startled. Fresca wiped her tears and went to refresh herself whereas Zac picked up the phone. James talked to Zac who told him everything which was meant to be a secret.

Fresca got changed, with a red-black seductive dress which Zac bought for her and a fancy necklace by James. Zac told her his plans where Zac will be accompanying her and perhaps linger for about 15 minutes and secretly leae as he got inside information that his life is at great risk since some "unwanted creepz" as defined by Zac as those to whom he fought against, are after him and Zac will be approaching his secret hideouts. Fresca hugged him and Zac kissed her tears, saving them from being lost to the Earth, telling her that he will always fight for his friends and the truth to the optimum till his last breath. Fresca kissed him on his cheek, telling him that she will always pray for him.

Fresca had recollected her memories of Adam and everyone till now.

Fresca had recollected her memories of Adam and everyone till now.

Fresca was searching for Adam but he was nowhere of sight. James bumped into Fresca

Fresca:Are you alone?
James:Nope, actually I had come with a stranger but I guess she must have gone to mingle with others so yeah..Zac told me everything..You ok??
Fresca:He did?Oh ok..James this is indeed the second time I feel my world crashing down on me..
James:Adam is here..You wanna talk to him..
Fresca:Nope;not now.Zac is here.I need to talk to him.Bye!!

Adam said ""Hey" to Fresca but it fell on deaf ears.

Fresca went ahead and danced with Zac intially, later all the couples are called to the dance foor for dancing. Fresca conversed with Zac for a last time.

Zac:Stop crying Fresca.This is not the right moment. I am only going to fight the battles of my life through truth. Right now, I wanna see the cheery, bubbly face that I often admire and boast to my colleagues.

Fresca(smiles a bit): How do you and your sis manage to mke me laugh in the worst of situations?I just don't know if I'll ever see you again but easier said than done,I will try not to miss your friendship and love that you showered upon me. I m always proud of you Zac-ey!!This is my first dance with you, which will remain special to both of us!!

Fresca kissed him one last time and was about to leave but Zac held her hand and brought her closer, forced up Fresca's chin in order for her eyes to his's, and Zac whispered to her that he will not let her tears ruin her future or his hope in her. Fresca smiled and her eyes sparkled like shining stars. This was exactly what Zac wanted to see before he left.

Adam witnessed everything and felt extremely bad that he somehow felt as if he was being jilted indirectly. He decided to leave the place before he felt even worse. He walked through the exit behind which led to a private spot known as Lil Peace. Adam didn't know which way he was going but he kept walking as he had learnt that there is such serenity in this path that no decisions ever taken in life's journey is wrong. He had so much of hope of his love growing but as he talked about his pain with the wind, he slowly realized that he was never there when Fresca is totally shattered or when she even needed him to share and talk things out. Adam slowly lay his card and his flowers by his side on a bench, reminding him of Fresca.

aaww so much work and no one commented i;ll read soon 😊 im sure i'll love ur work 😃 😆 😆
