The Universe Conspired For Us To Meet 112 Fresher's Party

"Sure! Thanks Daniel!" Jayne said and walked in.

Adam Clive met Jayne on the way. "Hi Jayne! All set for today?"

"Hey Adam! Yeah almost done. Let's see how it goes. How's it going with you?" she asked him.

"All fine Jayne! So you'll be staying for the after-party right?" He probed.

"Most probably yes Adam!" She said.

Adam Clive did a backflip in his mind with joy. "Okay then you carry on Jayne. I'll see you backstage!" He left.

Jayne was busy with her practise after she went. Soon, it was time to get ready. She headed towards Shirley's office.

Shirley was also helping her students with some last minute modifications with the dress.

On seeing Jayne, Shirley took her to her private design area. "Hey gorgeous, let's get going then. You change into your costume."

Jayne went to the cupboard where all the dresses were stacked. She pulled out her dress which was wrapped in a cover. She was flabbergasted on opening the cover.

The pure white dress was all soiled now. It was torn beyond recognition. The beautiful layering was all gone. Jayne's face turned white as sheet of paper.

Tears welled up in her eyes, "Sh-Shirley!" she stuttered.

Shirley was dumbstruck too. Her days of hard work was spoilt in a jiffy by somebody. She looked at it closely. "Whoever has done this, very well knows that your dance can't be performed without this dress and there's just one dress of such type here. They've very tactfully targeted your dress Jayne." she tried to find clues.

Emma and Ella Dalton who were secretly watching this shrieked with happiness that their plan was executed successfully. They ran towards a public phone and placed a call to Katherine Bradford to inform about it.

"Even the ballerinas were torn." Jayne felt helpless. The biggest problem was that they didn't have the time to design another dress.

Mrs Jessica Parker came over to inform that the event would begin in half an hour and everybody should come over to the backstage. Since Jayne's performance was a welcome dance, second in line after a welcome song by another student, she'd to get ready sooner.

Jayne hid her tears and smiled at Mrs Jessica Parker. "I'll be there soon ma'am!"

Soon the Fresher's Party began. The non performing students started getting into the auditorium adorned with their best dresses.

Finally, the Chief guests of the evening arrived in their respective limousines.

Amidst the youthful music playing in the background by the Music department students, the host of the event, a joyful student from the Filming Department got onto the stage. He had worn a black tailored suit with a white shirt inside and a black bow tie. He got on the dias with an youthful smile bubbling with energy.

He began announcing. "Goooood evening! Respected Princ.i.p.al, Trustees, Chief guests, beloved lecturers and the main attraction for tonight, our lovely freshers and my dear friends, we welcome you all to the Fresher's Party for the new academic year." He began rambling with an welcome speech.

There was a huge round of applause.

"Firstly, I'd like to welcome the Chief guests for tonight, Ms Mahira Arora, the brilliant dancer, actress of Indian cinema and most importantly a wonderful human being." A bouquet of the best flowers were presented to her.

Ms Mahira Arora was wearing a youthful long gown to match up with the university students. She  elegantly took the flowers and waved at the students.

"Next, I'd like to welcome the top most bureaucrat of our country who's the current youth icon. He's an  inspiration to each one of you here. He's done so much towards the betterment our country. Today, he's here with us in spite of his busy schedule. Dear friends, give it up for Mr. Ronnie Roy."

Ronnie who was wearing a black suit designed by Shirley Symonds for the occasion got up revealing his handsome face. His jet black eyes full of pride that his wife would steal the show tonight. There was a subtle smile on his face which made him the centre of attraction. He waved at the crowd.

There was a deafening round of applause to him.

"Well, well, well, hold in dear students. There is also a surprise for tonight. Write in your names and drop in the box. Two lucky student will get to dance with our Chief guest, that is, one girl student with Mr Roy and one boy with Ms Arora." The host  announced.

The entire crowd erupted into a joyous mood. Everyone enthusiastically dropped in their names.

Katherine Bradford who was seated right behind the guests thought, 'It has to be me who'll dance with Ronnie Roy. My dad will be pleased if he gets to know about this. In that way, I can get close to him favouring dad.'

"Well then, let's begin our event for tonight. Let me call upon Clara Sebastian to welcome you all with her song."

Soon an elegant girl wearing a floral print knee length gown stood before the microphone. Accompanied by the music of the Music Department students, her melodious voice filled the room.
