Even though she hates her Maaya is getting lots of her attention, this makes me more jealous. “Here I looked message thrice and still not able to believe this, Amanda actually accepts this challenge.” I thought if I dare her to make Maaya fall for her, she will definitely call it off the dare with disgust. But now Amanda accepts the challenge & I am still not in the spotlight. I think I should try something so that Amanda notices me, not as a friend but more than that. I put my phone back in the pocket and left for the college. Maaya Pov

Freya stood outside, her heart racing with anticipation and a hint of nervousness. She had spent days preparing for this moment, perfecting her techniques and studying the judges' preferences.
