Subsequently, the event that had a surge of excitement finally arrived that kept everyone waiting impatiently. All the students gathered in the hall carefully witnessing the vibrant poster mentioning- "Grab Your Mics! Cuz it's the time to showcase what you truly are on the stage! Get ready to bring out your hidden ROCKSTAR🎵"
And then attention of all the students delivered to Sophia in seconds who just arrived at the thronged area. Michelle, also known as the 'Class Clown' as well as the 'Golden Voice' approached Sophia encouraging her to participate in these curricular activities since she is a newbie in college. Therefore, she needs friends like sisters to inform and explore the college.
•SOPHIA'S POV•
I witnessed the vibrant themed poster pasted on the noticeboard of the college hall. Guess what then? I feel serendipitous. I was quite popular in my old school for my mellifluous voice and my professionalism in playing musical instruments. Music basically flowed in my veins. It's my oxygen. But then, Ethan came to my mind. "Is he also participating?" I thought. I tried to scan the whole area through my CCTV like eyes but my aim was defeated. I couldn't find him and a tiny smile of melancholy formed on my face. Michelle suddenly saw my disappointed face and approached me saying, "Oh heyy Sophia..I am Michelle" said while offering a handshake with a genuine smile. Obviously, I did shake hands with her in the same manner. She goes on saying, "Sophia, are you good at singing? Why don't you participate? Don't worry even if you have a rotten voice you can still play musical instruments. But make sure to perform on stage either singing or playing instruments." I replied, "Aww I am so melted, I do sing and I do play instruments. So it's a BIG YES for me!" After I said, Michelle winked at me while smiling and saying, "That's the spirit."

Eventually, all the students went back to their respective classes. But later on, someone arrived at the place where the poster hung.
•ETHAN'S POV•
It was that time of the year. One of the most popular and the biggest events of the year. The singing competition. Talents like these really mattered in our college. Our college not only wants bookworms but also the ones who have these talents. And yes I am definitely participating.. "Umm I am definitely not singing." Says Ethan with a calm yet deep voice. Adrian approached me saying, "Don't worry my bro! I gotcha! I'll do the singing part just play the background music, I am a noob in playing instruments." "Alright bro, then decide what you want to perform. We will start the practice from tomorrow onwards." Says Ethan while communicating with Adrian. Adrian nodded while mumbling his favourite lyrics of his favourite song-
Wanna be your setting lotion
Hold your hair in deep devotion
At least as deep as the Pacific Ocean
~Now I wanna be yours~
•FEW DAYS LATER•
This singing competition resulted in the radiant and sparkling atmosphere. Everything seemed so lively than the previous days. Everyone was busy giving rehearsals, practicing and playing various instruments. Some students practiced harmonies, some students practiced high notes while some pretended to be judges and gave authentic judgement for improvements. About Sophia? She was excessively confident and dauntless to perform on the stage, which would prove her calibre and charisma. She sang until she ran out of breath. Michelle and Sophia were duet singing. They both were destined to be partners. Each of them had their own unique extraordinary skills. Sophia was a skilled opera and high note singer. While, Michelle was a certified pop singer. And Ethan? A sexy and a versatile drummer. He played drums since his 3rd Grade. His expressions and body movements while playing drums were top-notch. Ethan sweated a lot while giving his best which made the girls lure over him. Adrian did the singing part perfectly utilising his peacock like voice.
Neither Ethan nor Sophia ever witnessed each other while rehearsing because they were too busy to care about other things while they cannot even complete their performances.
The decoration team enhanced the dull stage to a breathtaking stage. The whole auditorium was gleaming.
•NEXT MORNING•
•AUTHOR'S POV•
While Sophia was carrying a whole stack of books on her hands that consisted of singing notes which made her face to be hidden and therefore, she was unable to see the front. She walked looking sideways but fate had different plans. And the worst part came, Sophia had to walk down the stairs.
•SOPHIA'S POV•
"Ugh! I am so freaking tired and my hands are sore by carrying these dumble-like books." Says Sophia while rolling her doe eyes. I felt some gap between the floor and the realisation instantly hit me. There were stairs ahead of me. "Looks like I'll die before even giving my performance. Now God my bones and my life depends on you!", she says while murmuring to herself. Anyways I'll have to go.
•ETHAN'S POV•
I was busy having a normal communication with Adrian until I saw an angel carrying a whole stack of books which were heavier than the one who was carrying it. She was standing like a statue on the 3rd stair. In just a few seconds I reached the staircase but before I could step on the stairs to give her a helping hand, her foot stumbled and yes all the books fell on stairs and she began leaning down. Before I could hold her, she fell on me while hovering my whole body on the floor.
•SOPHIA'S POV•
I fell onto Ethan while my hand rested on his muscular chest and some of my hair strands falling onto his face. "I, for the first time, saw his refined and his sharp featured face from this distance. His eye colour? Hazel. His jawline? Like the blade of the cutter. His moles? Right above his left eye and two were on his cheeks. His lips? A well defined cupid's bow. Everything seemed unrealistic as if he jumped out of a comic book." I thought. I was so lost admiring him.
•ETHAN'S POV•
She was hovering over me. "I, for the first time, saw her graceful and soft featured face from this distance. Her eye colour? Chocolate Brown, just like her name. Her cheeks? Chubby yet elegant. Her moles? Right beside her heart-shaped lips. Her hair? Caramel Brown. Everything of her seemed so gracious as if she was drawn by an artist." I thought. I was so lost admiring her.
•AUTHOR'S POV•
But they couldn't stay like this for so long. Ethan cleared his throat and Sophia felt such a second hand embarrassment. She immediately, without wasting a millisecond got up from the floor and offered her hand to Ethan to help him get up but who knows what would happen after Ethan took a hold of her hand to pick himself up. Instead, it made Sophia to be pulled down by the force he put on her hands and consequently, their lips, collided.
