Meera stood in front of the mirror in her room, her eyes fixed on her reflection as she practiced reciting the school pledge. This week, it was her turn to lead the pledge as part of her duty for the Red House, and the thought filled her with a mix of nervousness and determination.

Taking a deep breath, Meera began to recite the words of the pledge, her voice steady and resolute. With each repetition, she felt a surge of confidence welling up within her, pushing aside the doubts that had lingered in the back of her mind.

As she continued to practice, Meera focused on projecting her voice with clarity and conviction, imagining herself standing in front of her classmates with confidence and poise. She knew that this was her chance to prove herself, to show that she was capable of taking on leadership roles and fulfilling her responsibilities with grace and dignity.

As Meera continued to practice the pledge in front of the mirror, she couldn't help but engage in a silent conversation with herself, a way to bolster her confidence and calm her nerves.

"You've got this, Meera," she whispered to her reflection, her voice firm and reassuring. "You know the pledge by heart, and you've practiced enough times to feel confident."

"But what if I mess up?" another voice, tinged with doubt, crept into her thoughts.

Meera shook her head, banishing the negative thoughts from her mind. "No, I can't afford to think like that. I've worked hard for this, and I won't let fear hold me back."

With renewed determination, Meera straightened her posture and met her own gaze in the mirror, her eyes shining with resolve. "I am Meera, and I am capable of anything I set my mind to. Today, I will lead the pledge with confidence and grace."

As she spoke the words aloud, Meera felt a sense of calm wash over her, her earlier nerves replaced by a quiet confidence. With one final glance in the mirror, she nodded to herself, ready to face whatever challenges the day may bring.

Despite her nerves, Meera was determined to give her best performance, to show her classmates and teachers that she was more than capable of rising to the occasion. With each repetition of the pledge, she felt her confidence growing stronger, until she stood tall and proud, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

In the school

As Meera stood on the stage with her fellow students from the Red House, preparing to lead the school pledge, she felt a wave of nervousness wash over her. Despite her earlier practice and pep talk, the sight of the assembled students and teachers made her heart race with anticipation.

Taking a deep breath, Meera focused on calming her racing thoughts, reminding herself to project confidence and authority. But just as she was beginning to settle into her role, she caught sight of him making his way towards the stage, and her nerves intensified.

"Why is he coming here?" Meera wondered aloud, her voice barely a whisper as she watched Lakshya approach. The sight of him only served to heighten her anxiety, his presence a stark reminder of her own insecurities.

But even as doubts threatened to overwhelm her, Meera forced herself to remember that Lakshya was also a member of the Red House. It was entirely possible that he, too, had duty responsibilities today.

As Lakshya joined the group on stage, Meera stole a quick glance in his direction, her heart fluttering at the sight of him. She couldn't deny the rush of excitement that surged through her veins, even as she struggled to maintain her composure.

With a silent prayer for strength, Meera squared her shoulders and cleared her throat, ready to lead the pledge with confidence and determination. Today was her chance to prove herself, and she wasn't about to let her nerves get the best of her, not when Lakshya was watching.

As Meera made her way back to her classroom after successfully completing her assembly duty, a sense of pride swelled within her. She couldn't help but feel a rush of satisfaction at how confidently she had led the pledge, her nerves from earlier replaced by a newfound sense of accomplishment.

Lost in her thoughts, Meera barely noticed when Rani fell into step beside her, a mischievous twinkle in her eye. "You did great up there, Meera!" Rani exclaimed, patting her on the back. "I told you there was nothing to worry about."

Meera smiled gratefully at her friend's words, grateful for the encouragement. "Thanks, Rani. I couldn't have done it without your support."

As they entered the classroom, Meera's gaze instinctively sought out Lakshya, who was already seated at his desk, engrossed in a book. She couldn't help but admire his studious demeanor, a silent testament to his dedication and focus.

"He's always so immersed in his studies," Meera remarked to Rani, her voice filled with admiration. "Have you ever noticed how good his English pronunciation is? It's like he was born to speak the language."

Rani nodded in agreement, a playful smirk playing on her lips. "Oh, trust me, Meera, I've noticed," she teased, nudging Meera with her elbow. "You're not the only one who's impressed by Lakshya's talents, you know."

Meera felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment at Rani's teasing, but she couldn't deny the truth in her words. Lakshya's intelligence and charm had not gone unnoticed by anyone in their class, and Meera found herself increasingly drawn to him with each passing day.

But as she settled into her seat and prepared for the day's lessons, Meera couldn't shake the feeling of contentment that washed over her. Today had been a good day, and she was determined to savor every moment of it, regardless of Rani's teasing or the butterflies that fluttered in her stomach whenever she was near Lakshya.

As Meera and Rani settled into their seats, Rani couldn't resist the urge to tease Meera a little more about her admiration for Lakshya.

"You know, Meera, I think you have a little crush on Lakshya," Rani whispered, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "First, you're impressed by his English, and now you're praising his stage presence. I think someone has a soft spot for him."

Meera's cheeks flushed crimson, but she couldn't help but laugh at Rani's teasing. "Oh, stop it, Rani," she replied, playfully swatting her friend's arm. "I'm just stating the facts. Lakshya is undeniably talented."

Rani grinned, clearly enjoying her friend's discomfort. "Well, speaking of Lakshya, did you hear the news? He's supposed to have an announcement today during class. I wonder what it could be."

Meera's curiosity was piqued at the mention of Lakshya's announcement, and she couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement in her chest. "I wonder what it could be about," she mused, casting a quick glance in Lakshya's direction. "I hope it's something good."

Rani nodded in agreement, her own curiosity evident in her expression. "I guess we'll just have to wait and see," she replied, turning her attention back to her books.

As the teacher entered the classroom and began the day's lessons, Meera couldn't shake the anticipation building within her. Whatever Lakshya's announcement might be, she knew that it would undoubtedly be met with eager anticipation from everyone in the class, herself included.

........................................................................

Lakshya stood at the front of the classroom, his voice projecting with authority as he addressed his classmates. The room fell silent as all eyes turned towards him, eager to hear what he had to say.

"Attention, everyone," Lakshya began, his tone commanding the attention of the room. "I have an important announcement to make regarding the upcoming math Olympiad."

The mention of the math Olympiad sparked murmurs of excitement and curiosity among the students, who leaned in closer to hear Lakshya's words.

"As you all know, the math Olympiad is a prestigious competition that challenges students to showcase their mathematical prowess and problem-solving skills," Lakshya continued, his words resonating with confidence and assurance.

"I am pleased to inform you that our class will be participating in this year's math Olympiad," Lakshya announced, his voice ringing out with pride. "It's an opportunity for each and every one of you to put your abilities to the test and represent our class with honor and distinction."

A ripple of excitement spread through the classroom as Lakshya's words sank in, the students buzzing with anticipation at the prospect of competing in the prestigious competition.

"But participation in the math Olympiad is voluntary," Lakshya added, his gaze sweeping across the room. "If you are interested in taking part, please provide your name to me by the end of the day. I will be compiling a list of participants and coordinating our preparations for the competition."

With his announcement delivered, Lakshya stepped back, allowing his words to sink in as the students processed the information. The classroom hummed with energy and excitement, the prospect of the math Olympiad igniting a fire of determination and ambition within each and every student.

As the class erupted into a flurry of activity, with students eagerly discussing their plans to participate, Lakshya couldn't help but feel a sense of pride at the enthusiasm and determination of his classmates. And as he watched them eagerly sign up for the competition, he knew that together, they would rise to the challenge and make their mark on the math Olympiad stage.

As the anticipation for Lakshya's announcement grew, Meera leaned over to Rani, a determined look in her eyes.

"Rani, we should definitely sign up for the math Olympiad," Meera whispered eagerly. "It would be a great opportunity to test our skills and represent our class."

Rani nodded in agreement, a smile playing on her lips. "You're right, Meera. Count me in!"

With a shared sense of excitement, Meera and Rani turned their attention to Lakshya, who was busy organizing his papers at the front of the classroom. Meera hesitated for a moment before nudging Rani again.

"Go on, Rani, tell him our names," Meera urged, a hint of nervousness creeping into her voice.

Rani took a deep breath and approached Lakshya, her voice filled with confidence as she spoke to him. Meera watched anxiously from her seat, her heart pounding in her chest as she waited for Rani to return.

When Rani finally made her way back to their desks, Meera couldn't help but pepper her with questions. "What did he say? Did he take our names for the math Olympiad?"

Rani grinned, nodding enthusiastically. "Yes, Meera, he did! And he seemed impressed that we were interested in participating. Looks like we're officially signed up!"

Meera couldn't contain her excitement at the news, her face lighting up with a smile. But before she could say anything else, Rani leaned in closer, a mischievous twinkle in her eye.

"And you know what, Meera? I think Lakshya was a little surprised that we wanted to join," Rani teased, her voice barely above a whisper. "Maybe he didn't expect us to be interested in something like the math Olympiad."

Meera's cheeks flushed with embarrassment at Rani's words, but she couldn't help but laugh at the playful teasing. "Well, he clearly underestimated us, didn't he?" she replied, a hint of determination in her voice. "Let's show him what we're capable of."
