Chapter 2 - Rosabel Grace

Wait,what! Eleonora is late today! She's quite famous for waking up very early despite not having insomnia.Even though we're not on the same floor, but it has been my daily routine to visit Haze before starting the daily schedule for doing my hair,no matter how late we're gonna be! And that's how I always be the one who gets to know about Ele's first image of the day after Hazelin, her dormmate.

The first bed anyone will notice after visiting Ele's dorm is her #BED; yeap it's her Hashtag BED. Oh my god!

-"God! Help me,please!" Rae mumbled. Both of her hands are on her head gripping her brownish black hair.

Maybe I'd do the same if I were Rae. Her mosquito net is still tung with the bedstands. My eyes moved to her table and the next moment I felt like if she were here right now I'd kill her at this instant. Atleast 10-12 books and different notebooks are piled up on her table and not to mention,all those created a big mess. Gosh! That pile of books and notebooks will just fall off at any time.

-"Let's start cleaning her mess", It's the first sentence I uttered after waking up today, with a deep sigh.

I started arranging her table and Rae is trying to clean up the mess on her bed. Haze is finding space in Ele's locker to put her shoes inside that. But OMG! She gotta be really beaten up by me. Oops! Sorry! Though she's better at fighting than me. Whatever, I really want to kill her right at this moment after seeing her casual movement even at this crucial moment!

I saw Ele coming all dressed up,yet to wear shoes and do hair. Though she never needs to do her hair cause however she ties her abloosh black silky hair,those are bound to get messed up within half an hour at best.

Well,she got up late,I understood. But why the hell is she blushing out of nowhere! Literally she's getting on my nerves now. I noticed that she didn't even thank us! Maybe Haze and Rae didn't even get to notice as they were too busy to clean up her goddamned mess.

It's already 6:15 am. We're too late to join the fallin now. But still, we took the risk! Whatever, the main thing is we 4 somehow managed to escape from being enlisted for punishment. And that's what matters for us! Even if we were to be enlisted we'd never regret just because it was one of us who would cause that! That's how we are!

Being able to escape from being listed means being able to escape from bone-breaking punishments! Like it's never easy to roll at front,back and side continuously for 20 minutes under scorching sun and then without a break, doing 50 push ups and then 30 reach-ups followed by that! But HELL NO! after all these it included running around the college premises (49 acres).Every teen here wants to change these goddamn rules, but ends up sighing heavily every time they commemorate the rules.

Till now,I was trying to stay normal and acting confident ,but I couldn't.

-"You all! I'm super nervous! Today's the competition ,OMG", I feel my legs shaking.

-"What! Today is your competition!!!" Ele said and I could see the exclamation on her face.

-"You dumbhead! How could you forget it?"Rae shouted before I could.Though I am not in a situation to shout over these silly things. I was never this much nervous about any competition maybe I am because I already lost a match on the first day of volleyball competition.

-"Don't you dare to worry about today's competition", they all shouted on me and then we all laughed together thinking how we think alike.

Among us, I mean in our squad, what we don't have!Rae could be a great hiphop dancer only if she got the opportunity.Haze is a blessed singer though she insists on being a bathroom singer whenever someone praises her.And Ele! I guess she isn't familiar with the term 'stage phobia '.Stage seems to be empty without her speech,I can't remember any literature competition she didn't participate or win.Let's just stop here cause I can't really put on a full-stop if I start talking about her qualities.

LAST DAY OF VOLLEYBALL COMPETITION!The scorching sun was totally focused on the ground.Audiences are taking their seats in the pavilion to cheer for the players. The scoreboards are set behind the respective volleyball courts.Today Rosabel is going to compete with 'Redpeers High School' volleyball team.

I see the audience taking their seats.I was trying to find any three of them out of the crowd.i was chewing the blue gum to overcome my nervousness.

"The match of 'Redpeers High School' and 'Versheeyank High School' is going to start in a few minutes.

We lost the toss and the opposition team took 'serve' and we took 'side'.The game started with the tuneless sound of the whistle.

The Redpeers started with their serve and we couldn't receive the serve because of my team's mental breakdown after losing previous match.It was really an easy serve to receive!The first point was added to the scoreboard under the tittle 'Redpeers High School Volleyball Team'.Then somehow we missed a receive and my time came.I was the first server of my team. First of all, I was super nervous moreover the luck of team depends on my serve.Maybe words are not even a bit enough to state my nervousness . I don't even dare to look at the scoreboard even though we were at the lead and we won the first set with great difference.

2nd set started after a short break of 5 minutes.

GUESS WHAT!!!!...

This time I'm afraid to look at the scoreboard cause we're quite sure we'll get to know beforehand that our team will get out of the ground with our heads down.Like seriously! I could never think of match from which I'll get back without a medal!

I don't know how to control my tears at this point in this situation where I feel like everthing is shattering. I hear a familiar voice; Oh! It's Ele announcing," We see, the scoreboard in the 1st ground stands 24 in Redpeers Team and 23 in Versheeyank's Team".The serve is of Redpeers now. Gosh! I am losing my last ounce of confidence now.I'm dying to share this nerve-racking experience with anyone but I am running out of words as if someone is obstructing me to talk. I don't even know how I'm still standing on the ground with a player -like-attitude .Suddenly I feel like it was not the "Rosabel" I knew about.It was a stubborn but a afraid-to-lose Rosabel whereas I never knew how to get out from the ground as a member of a losing team.
