The Girl in the Front Row

The stadium was packed. Thousands of fans screamed as colorful lights flashed across the stage. Meera Sharma was screaming the loudest.

 

“AAYAAAANNNN!”

 

Her best friend Riya covered her ears. “One day he’ll get a restraining order against you. “Meera gasped dramatically. “Love has no limits.” “Your obsession definitely doesn’t. “The music started. The crowd exploded. Ayaan Kapoor walked onto the stage wearing a black leather jacket and holding a microphone.

 

Meera nearly fainted. “Oh my God.” “He literally walks like a movie hero. “He walked from one side of the stage to the other.” “Exactly. “The concert began. For two hours Meera sang every lyric.

Every. Single One.

At one point Ayaan pointed toward the audience. Meera immediately grabbed Riya. “HE LOOKED AT ME.” “He looked at fifty thousand people.”

“BUT MOSTLY ME. “Riya sighed. There was no cure for this girl.

 

 The most embarrassing moment 

The Most Embarrassing Moment Ever After the concert, a lucky group of fans got backstage passes. To Meera’s shock, she won one. She spent ten minutes fixing her hair. Then another ten minutes fixing it again.

Finally she stood in line waiting to meet Ayaan. Her heart raced. Her hands shook. When her turn came, Ayaan smiled. “Hi. “Meera forgot how to breathe.” Hi.”

Silence. More silence. Even more silence. Ayaan waited patiently.

Meera’s brain completely stopped working. Instead of saying something normal, she blurted—”I KNOW YOUR BLOOD GROUP.”

Ayaan blinked. “What?”

Meera wanted the earth to swallow her.” I mean—not in a creepy way.” “Actually, that sounds very creepy.”

Ayaan started laughing. The staff nearby laughed too. Meera covered her face. “This is the worst day of my life.”

Ayaan grinned.

“For me, it’s definitely one of the funniest.”

For the first time, she made him laugh. Neither of them knew it yet. But that moment would change everything.

A Selfie Disaster

Meera somehow survived the blood-group incident.

Now only one thing remained. A selfie. She stood beside Ayaan. The camera clicked. At the exact second—She sneezed.

 

The picture captured: Ayaan smiling perfectly. Meera looking like a shocked potato Ayaan stared at the photo.

Then burst out laughing. Meera groaned.” I’m deleting my existence.” “Don’t,” Ayaan said.

“It’s my favorite fan photo ever.”

For some reason, hearing that made her smile. And for some reason…Ayaan couldn’t stop smiling either.

Unexpected Message

Three days later. Meera was studying. Actually…

She was pretending to study while watching Ayaan’s interviews. Suddenly her phone vibrated.

Unknown Number:

“Do you still know my blood group?”

Meera froze.

Then screamed so loudly that her mother dropped a spoon in the kitchen.

“What happened?” “NOTHING.” Her mother narrowed her eyes.

“Are you secretly married?”

“WHAT?”

Meanwhile Meera stared at the message. There was only one person on Earth who could have sent it. Ayaan Kapoor.

And her life was about to become much more complicated.
