Anjali just came back from Germany after her shooting for her album. She got her album videos and showed them to Raj and James while she went to refresh herself. When she returned, she saw Adam.

Anjali:Hi..u're Adam right?What are you doing here?

Adam:I'm here as i got the job for the Student Mentor after being interviewed yesterday.

Anjali..Ohh..icic...you are quite lucky as the job vacancy had an all-low application status. Anyways, congratz!!

Adam:Thanks!!

Anjali:By the way Raj, where's Fresca? She was supposed to be here yesterday..

Raj:She has extended her stay for another week as....as some choreographers are on the way to see her

Anjali:You don't sound so convincing after all...Will you tell me precisely what's happening?

Adam:I will tell you

Anjali: Adam?Great, so tell me!!

Adam:What Raj said is half the truth. I had requested James two days back, to actually try and extend Fresca's stay in Paris for at least a week. The truth is that I love her and wish to impress her somehow and win her heart....Thatz why I need the time.

Anjali:Wait a second!!You love her??Aren't you the same guy who broke all ties with her like 5 years back? What makes you think she's gonna be impressed by you?I mean...how dare you even think of putting a girl's reputation at stake like this and especially when she's never been there before and when she's alone there? Wait Raj, I am not done yet. Adam, can you guarantee that nothing will happen to her????

Adam:I was just....

Raj:Hold it right there Anjali. You have no right to talk to him like that!!!

Anjali:Oh yes I very well do. And why do you guys have to act like this? Temporary impressive acts and winning hearts and after attaining her heart, what next? Can't you guyz just express your feelings just the way you are? Such superficial and shallow behaviour!!!This is definitely NOT the right way to express your feelings. Try to be yourself and express,no girl will be able to ignore your feelings!!Try for once!!Look Adam, you better do something before the situation gets out of control or before I lose my anger!!!!

Anjali leaves, Naina comes in and says hi to anjali but she gets a mundane 'hi' from Anjali, which surprised Naina.

Naina:Hi guys and welcome to HOF, Adam. Hey what happened to Anjali? Is there anything wrong?

Raj:Erm yeah sort of. Hey, James!!

Addy: I'll tell you what the matter is.

Adam tells Naina of his and Raj's idea of extending Fresca's stay by purpose and Adam's love for Fresca.

James felt disturbed while Naina turned away from the guyz.

Raj:Hey Naina, what's wrong? Please say something..

Naina(turns to Raj): What do you expect me to say? What is it that you don't understand about what Anjali said? She talked from her perspective. Now hear me out. What you guyz did was totally unacceptable for any girl, even me and if Fresca knew about this, she'll be utterly disappointed and shattered. Look Adam, there can be lots of ways of proposing to a girl other than playing some tricks to win her heart, alright?? And I have made a decision => Raj, you'll go and fetch Fresca from Paris and there'll be no more discussion about this. I'll book your ticket right away!! And Adam, if your classes aren't starting soon, I hope you'll make time to talk to and cheer Anjali up. Raj, please meet her before you go.

Addy:I think I'll talk to her right now!!

Raj:Naina, are you ok?I'm extremely sorry for hurting you. I didn't expect this outcome to appear!!

Naina:Then what were you expecting?Look Raj, I believe you too agree that this isn't the right way!!Then why??

Raj:I just thought of helping Adam and nothing else

Naina:You had overlooked the fact that Fresca is out there alone!!Don't you care for her??

Raj:Of course we all do but not as much as Anjali, I guess

Naina:Anjali doesn't want to lose another friend just like how she had lost Ari. Have you any idea how shattered Anjali was at Ari's death?In fact it was Fresca who gave her great comfort and affirmation to hold onto life with a positive attitude and to chase her passion and turn in to reality!!

Raj:Oh gosh...I'm so sorry Naina...I totally screwed it up. Didn't even think about that...

Naina:Hey, I got a SMS..your flight is at three hours later. Go and get ready!!

Raj:Thanks naina..you're such a sweetheart for helping me realize my mistake. Let me get ready.

Naina:Hey Raj, I totally forgot!!Don't mention anything about this to fresca,alright?? And I...I love you!!

Raj:Lurve ya too babez

Anjali was dancing with her class in preparation for the Dance Carnival which was less than 2 weeks later. Anjali was interrupted by Adam's presence and gave her students a good 20 minutes break.

Adam:Hi, you look beautiful as you dance so gracefully!!

Anjali:I guess flirting is ur hallmark

Adam: And so is sarcasm your hallmark!!

Anjali(smiles): Look I'm sorry if I did offend you or hurt you. Reallie am trying to control my anger..

Adam:Your anger is justified. By the way I am here to clear your misunderstanding. In fact it was raj's and my plan to make Fresca extend her stay for another week. James wasn't involved at all, he was in fact, against it!!!And raj's packing to go to Paris to fetch Fresca right away!!So please forgive all of us, especially me!!!

Anjali:Hey stop kneeling down. I have forgiven all of you. I need to meet Raj and James. I'll talk to you later.

Anjali couldn't meet James but she met Raj before he left!!

Raj:Hey Anjali

Anjali:Hey Raj..haha said it in chorus...hey i m reallie sorrie for being so rude...

Raj:No you weren't. Both of us spoke our minds..And just imagine if any1 falls in love with ya and he was like me, as in, the conversation we had tdy..it'll be reallie hilarious...

Anjali:Jokes apart..Look I just spoke my mind and itz not like what you are thinking!!I talked for a great friend of mine and I wasn't being overprotective of her

Raj:How in the world do you know that..Even Naina figured that out!!!I screwed it up ,rite??I am sorrie too...

Anjali:Looks like you'll be leaving soon. Don't want you to miss the flight,k??

Raj:Won't you give an Anjali-special hugg??

Anjali:Aww...

Both of hug hugged each other, while Anjali whispered to Raj to see Naina before leaving or she'll feel bad.

Both of hug hugged each other, while Anjali whispered to Raj to see Naina before leaving or she'll feel bad.

Anjali gets a call and went upstairs to the rooftop while Raj was romancing Naina.

It was James. James had called Anjali.

Anjali:Where the heavenz are you James?I had been looking for you to say sorrie. Adam told me everything!!!

James:Hey i wanted to say sorry....

Anjali:You didn't even do anything..Instead you protested..and I am ever so proud of u!!! I am sorrry that I misunderstood you

James:I know that Addy said in such a way that anyone can misunderstand me at that point of time!!!

Anjali:Where are you?

James:In your room!!I thought of surprising you in your room but you had locked the room

Anjali:How did you get in??Aha...what's cooking behind my back,James???

James:Look I really thought you were in the room and thatz why I came to cheer you up but I saw no one. That means you didn't come, then who did???And after that, the person locked me up in your room....

Anjali:Gosh..I am coming!!!

Anjali reached her room and opened the door.

James:Thanks!!

Anjali:I really need to know who's behind this

James:Not right now cuz we have a party to organize for Fresca's return together with the 4th anniversary of HOF, which is tomorrow.

Anjali:Oh yeah thanks for the reminder. I just want to thank you for being such a dear friend.

James wonder how Anjali could hide such a big secret from him.James got to read her entire diary to find out more. Meanwhile, James decided to keep that diary away from Anjali and distract her.

James and Anjali went to the guesthouse that Fresca had bought with her savings for all of them to use every now and then. The party was going to be a big surprise for Fresca for she would not have the slightest idea of the fact that they were gonna organize a pool party cum HOF carnival for all students and choreographers and for the first time it was made open house. So, there will be a huge crowd tomorrow at London's HOF!!

The next day, the anticipation of welcoming Raj and Fresca grew to a large extent. Everyone were at Fresca's guesthouse for the pool party. Eventually, Raj and Fresca came and all cheered loudly for both of them.

Anjali and Naina brought fresca upstairs to change into the pool attire but to no avail. Fresca received a phone call and excused herself to attend the call; went into the bathroom and went to change while Anjali and Naina walked outside.

Anjali was in conversation with Naina, not realizing that Fresca has changed and was eavesdropping on their conversation.

Naina:Don't bring up this matter, at least not in front of Fresca. I thought we have settled this matter so why are you bringing this up???

Anjali:It's not that. I don't feel quite right keeping this matter from Fresca. Why should we hide this?After all, she has all the right to know.. Would you tolerate it if Raj did that to you, just like what Adam did??Adam purposely extended Fresca's stay with the help of Raj...Oooppss(gestures to Naina about Fresca's presence).

Fresca, being her natural self, pretended to talk to someone over the phone and left; wiped her tears and went to socialize with her fellow students.

Anjali feels so stupid. She felt that Fresca might have heard everything.

Naina:Do you think she heard us???

Anjali:I don't exactly know. Well if she heard everything, she would have confronted us or else she might be in deep thoughts in some corner but instead, she's socializing with her students. So can i imply she didn't hear us???

Naina:I don't know babe..We've got to watch her..

halls of fame-part 35

Meanwhile, Anjali saw James and went to talk to him.

Anjali:Got any idea of who locked you up?

James:Whoosh...sorrie..you just scared the hell out of me!!Erm, apparently it's not Raj. I have a doubt on Adam...

Anjali:Same here but can't say for sure.....hey, you look great today!!

James:Ahem, okay...Thanks for the compliment!!!You are looking oh-kay today....haha jk...Fresca's looking hot by the way

Anjali:Excuse me....you are not supposed to be using that for a good friend of yours!!!

James:I know but I can't help it!!!Lol...I think itz time to hit some songs and involve every1 in the party..

Anjali:You're right!!Letz hit it!!!

There were great dance numbers being played and all the choreographers and dance teachers mingled and gelled greatly with their students. Fresca enjoyed herself thoroughly, and quickly went to change back into her sleek vaulter-neck dress and got keys of Halls of Fame institute to go there and carry out further preparations together with the help of Raj. Before she had left, Anjali introduced her to Adam Kerry as the new student mentor. Fresca was truly surprised and gave a fake smile to both of them and left. Adam and Anjali didn't recognize the faked smile but they were quite confused by Fresca's attitude.

Fresca drove to the Halls of Fame institute, thinking. She just went for a couple of days and quite a lot have changed. Even her friends have not considered interviewing Adam appropriately with his portfolio. Furthermore, it was entirely out of Fresca's perception that her good friend, Adam would stoop this low in order to get what he wanted; Fresca couldn't fathom how Adam could turn out to be truly selfish. Indeed, with time people do change.

Fresca changed the entire set of stalls and rearranged them. Furthermore, she added a slam-dunk game section too. Fresca got a brilliant idea and decided to manipulate it. It's time for some sweet revenge-taking; Fresca smirked!!

Fresca called to check on the entire unit and if they were already on the way to the institute. Everything was going as planned. Fresca recollected how Raj wanted her to not misunderstand Adam and how he was beating around the bush and how she had heard the conversation between Naina and Anjali. Without Fresca's realization, her friendship was gradually growing apart and things were changing at a pace that Fresca herself couldn't take control of.

Just then a postman delivered a bouquet of a wide array of flowers to her. It was from a guy named Jaggz. She wondered who that was. However before she even started thinking, everyone came in and settled at their individual stalls and brought the rest of the guests and parents in for the Halls of Fame's 4th anniversary bash was carried out as an open house annual event, where parents of students poured in to have fun times with their students.

Fresca started off by welcoming all the parents and guests and appreciated their belief in her and her group of colleagues in bringing the best of their loved ones, and promised to continue so as long as Halls of Fame exist. She further announced the fact that Halls of Fame has been acknowledged as amongst the Top 5 Dance Institutes in UK. In addition to that, she welcomed Mr Adam Kerry as the new student mentor of the institute and all the students cheered for him. Fresca was pleasantly surprised at the magic Adam has created in all the students'hearts..Fresca assured the parents that each of the students will be able to shine in every event that will be taking place in the soon future especially in the Dance Carnival due two weeks later.

After a concise speech, every one danced to the various hits and dance numbers. Furthermore, there were individual videos of the choreographers and the fun moments spent with the students. It was indeed memorable for all who were present at the auditorium.

Everyone were at the slam-dunk machine. All were shouting for Adam, who happened to be the first guinea pig to be participating in the game section. Fresca decided to seize this opportunity and take the fun all out on Adam, by hitting bull's eye several times, immersing Adam in the cool water until he got a little sore. Fresca stopped and left to check on the other stalls while Adam thought of leaving after that but poor boy, he was held back by his female fans!!

The evening ended on a great dedication made to Fresca by all the students and choreographers, leaving Fresca with tears of happiness!!!

After every1 has almost left, Jaggz entered the institute. Jaggz had turned out to be a handsome guy and unexpectedly Anjali's great friend. At first sight, Fresca felt that she had seen his face somewhere but she couldn't exactly recall. Fresca got caught up talking to Sameer about some medical reports and Aditi's and Jay's marriage. Just then Jaggz interrupted them and brought Fresca to a corner to talk to her.

Jaggz:Hi Fresca..you received the flowers??

Fresca:Hi Jaggz. Firstly pls don't do this ever again. I barely know you,alright? And secondly, you didn't have to send me the flowers in the first place. I don't know why you are doing this but anyways I truly appreciate it. Thanks!!

Jaggz:Don't you recognize me???

Fresca:Sorrie. I have no idea!!!!

Jaggz:Hi Fresca..you received the flowers??

Fresca:Hi Jaggz. Firstly pls don't do this ever again. I barely know you,alright? And secondly, you didn't have to send me the flowers in the first place. I don't know why you are doing this but anyways I truly appreciate it. Thanks!!

Jaggz:Don't you recognize me???

Fresca:Sorrie. I have no idea!!!!Excuse me..I've got a call!!!

Fresca:Hi, Fresca here. Who's this?

Himani:Heyy...this is RJ Himani from Power FM. Do you recall of HOF contest last week?I called to ask if the winner of the contest, Mr Jaggz has arrived or not. I hope I have given him the right address.

Fresca:Thank God you called, Himani. I totally forgot about it in the midst of my hectic schedule. I just arrived from Paris today. He has arrived. I'm quite sorry Himani but I can't exactly recall the reward that I had mentioned for the winner of this contest.

Himani:Oh..it is one-month free dance trial at HOF and I just wanted to ask you if there is any vacancy for Events Manager post for he has experience in it. The thing is that Mr Jaggz is someone whom I know personally. He was an ex-convict; he was accused of killing his girlfriend but the real murderer was caught red-handed by Jaggz and the police officer in charge two days ago.I am quite worried of his future and I thought of helping him with whatever I can so that his future does not get spoilt. If you can trust me and possibly him, please think about it and let me know about your decision as soon as possible.

Fresca:Hhmm....I see....Can you possibly drop by tomorrow 10 am?I need to discuss something very important with you.

Himani:Sure, 10 am is surely fine with me. Ok then I'll see ya tomorrow. By the way happy 4th anniversary bash for HOF!!

Fresca:Thx!!Will see ya tmr!!

Fresca headed towards Jaggz and gave him an appointment tomorrow at 9:45 am and went to talk to Adam in the presence of her other colleagues.

Fresca:Mr Adam, you'll have to report to me at 10:45 am tmr sharp as this time round, your schedule will be changed and more intensive.

Naina:But why a change all of a sudden?

Fresca:Well, I have decided to put some people to the test; that includes Naina, Adam and Anjali who will be responsible for every participation of HOF in the Dance Carnival two weeks later. And since you want to know it now itself, let me tell you, Adam, that you will be in charge of three classes instead of one. You are here for professional experience and exposure; so start getting used to it.

Adam held Fresca's hand but Fresca got his hand away from hers and told him outrightly,"Don't you even dare to hold a girl's hand without her permission". Adam was totally shaken by her tone as he had never seen this face of Fresca's.
