story.....

We are planning to go for a movie on Saturday. How many of you woul
be interested?" one Thursday end of the day, our class rep asked this.
All of us raised our hands except Nethra. He said, "Okay, interested
people, please bring 120 bucks tomorrow so we can book the tickets as
fast as we can" All of us tapped our desks with joy. It had been two
months since we joined college and we knew each other in the class by
their names and our friendship' gang started to build up. There was
lot of fun during class and off class hours. All of us started to go
out for movies, restaurants, birthday parties etc, except her.





Nethra used to be alone and aloof always. She used to sit in the last
bench and never spoke with anyone. All the other students were scared
to talk to her as she was grumpy and a cranky person. She had
displayed her anger many a times with other students. She was good
looking but I think she would look beautiful if she smiled because no
one had ever seen her smiling. Her pet name was "Miss. Long Face".
None of us in the class liked her but she used to do her assignments
and record works promptly and had a good name among the lecturers. She
was good at studies too and class topper while I used to rank from 4
to 7.

One day as usual all the boys in the class were discussing about the
girls in the college; when the topic went on her. One boy said, "I
pity her husband he is gonna have tough time with this girl". Another
boy said, "The person who makes her smile will be an extraordinarily
talented person because she is such a bad tempered girl" One jumped up
and said, "Is there anybody who is ready for a challenge?" Everyone
asked "what will be the challenge and the bet?" He said, "1000 bugs"
"What's the challenge?" everyone asked. He said, "The challenge is to
befriend to Miss. Long face". Since the bet and challenge was
attractive I was interested in trying it; so I took up the challenge.
