“The school staff has discussed and come to a decision to make you the head boy of our school.” Said the Principal.

“Wow, I don’t know what to say.” Kevin said astonished.

“Well if you want to accept, then a yes would do. So do want to accept?” asked the Principal.

“Well absolutely. Thank you. I am really grateful.” Answered Kevin joyfully.

“Go to Vashali ma’am. She’ll explain your work and you’ll be needing to give a speech on Monday’s assembly.” The Principal said pointing towards the door.

“Sure, thank you very much.” Said Kevin getting up moving towards the door.

Strange shiver was flowing up and down Kevin’s body. Finally seeing his dream coming true must have caused it. He loved his school and the people in it. Whether it were teachers, students, or workers everyone was fond of Kevin and he was fond of them as well. He was shown love due to being an orphan.

So, Kevin headed towards the teacher' lounge. He knocked and peaked through the door. Seeing Vashali ma’am he asked “may I come in ma’am.”

“Yes, please do.” Answered Vashali ma’am.

Kevin sat in the chair kept in front of ma’am. With extreme excitement in his eyes.

Seeing his excitement Vashali ma’am said “Congratulations Kevin. How does it feel?”

“Really, really great.” Replied Kevin.

“Well I can see the excitement shining in your eyes.” Said Vashali ma’am.

“Is it? Asked Kevin. “Wow, it’s that visible”

“Well, I am glad you were selected. You seemed the most appropriate choice amongst them all.” Said Vashali ma’am. “I am very sure you will make us proud.”

“Yes, ma’am I surely will.” Replied Kevin. “So, ma’am the Principal said that you’ll tell me my work.”

“Well I presume you know most of what you have to do. So, I don’t have to explain it. Here’s a file. It has all the important information. Give it a read today.” Said Vashali ma’am.

“Yes, ma’am.” Replied Kevin “So is this all?”

“Yes, that’s all. You can go to your class now.” Said Vashali ma’am. “And remember you have to prepare a speech for tomorrow.”

“Yes ma’am” Kevin replied leaving the room. “Thank you.”

Kevin had never felt this excited in school. He walked towards the corridor where he saw Ayush waiting for him.

“Hey headboy” Ayush called out with a grin.

“Yes vice headboy” exclaimed Kevin.

“Really? When did that happen?” Ayush enquired.

“Hmm…now. I being the headboy get to choose my sub-ordinate. But some other big is going down. Something that has to be stopped using this power.” Kevin answered.

CHAPTER 1

“So you are saying that we have to steal THE GOLDEN CUP OF LEGACY!” exclaimed Ayush.

“Yes. So?” Answered Kevin.

“What so? You know that this is the most valuable award given to our school, right?” asked Ayush in a stern voice.

“Yes. That’s why this will be the biggest con, we have done till now. What do you think?” asked Kevin with excitement in his voice.

“What do I think? I think you are insane. And why would we be doing it?” asked Ayush still wondering what happened to Kevin.

“Well it’s not just my eyes on it but there is someone I need to stop.” answered Kevin.

“Let me guess. Its Ashwin right?” enquired Ayush.

“Yes.” Answered Kevin in a cold tone.

“I thought you had made peace with.” Said Ayush.

“Yes I did.” Said Kevin.

“So why are we doing it?” asked Ayush.

“Well he is planning to steal it. And I am planning to teach him a final lesson before leaving school. I’ll be stealing it from him from under his hand and making him the guilty. He’ll have no idea where it went but he’ll know who took it from him.” Answered Kevin.

 “Well, what can I say? Let do it.” asked Ayush looking helpless.

“Nothing, I guess.” Answered Kevin as he grinned at him.

Kevin and Ayush study in Suraj international school. They have been best friends since kindergarten. Kevin was a sharp kid. Good looking, tall and strong working brain.
He was in 12^th class and this was his last year. He had been made head boy in his last year. Ayush was as well the same as Kevin sharp, good looking, and with a strong working brain. They both shared a common interest which made them different from the rest of the kids. They had a keen interest in making people do what they wanted without them knowing, making copies of things which looked like the original piece, and taking challenges for the sake of growing their skills. They had mastered 4 languages, 5 different dances, all forms of art, melody of music.

Kevin was an orphan. His parents were killed when he was 10. In a robbery gone wrong. Since then he was living with his aunt. His parents had left him a fit amount in an account named for him and their insurance had increased that amount. Every morning his would wake to the nightmare of that bloody night.

“We are here.” Said Ayush stopping the car in front of their school.

They used to come to school in Ayush’s car. His parents had gifted it to him for scoring the highest mark the school had ever seen in 11^th class history.

They got down and went into their school. They were greeted by Ashwin at the gate.

“Good morning” said Ashwin grinning at Kevin.

“He has done something.” said Kevin “Be ready.”

“Yes, thanks for the heads up” replied Ayush as both walked in through the reception.

Sunny signaled Ayush as he entered the class. Ayush kept his bag on his seat as went to Sunny. They shook hands and Sunny passed him a note. While shaking Ayush’s hand. Ayush walked back to Kevin. They sat on the desk facing each other.

“I think what has happened” said Ayush passing Kevin the note.

 SCHOOL PRESIDENT SELECTED. LAST VOTER. ANSHAN MA’AM.

“Who has been selected?” asked Kevin as he got up from the bench stood next to Ayush.

“Don’t know yet.” Answered Ayush.

“Let me know.” Said Kevin as he left.

He had another companion besides Ayush. It was a girl. They had been companions before he was acquainted Ayush. Her name was Anna.

“Good morning.” Said Kevin.

“Good morning.” Replied Anna “I heard.”

“Well I would also like to hear. It seems I am missing the news.” Kevin said adjusting himself on the adjoining desk.

“So you seem to have impressed the teachers council” said Anna fixing her books.

“Should assume that it is good news?” asked Kevin.

“Well don’t be so happy this early. Ashwin isn’t behind you. You both are on the same level. And I don’t know who has been selected.” Replied Anna. “I know this is important to you. So, just have faith. You’ll win.”

“I hope so.” Said Kevin. “But this not all I came to talk about.”

“Meet me at 5 at my place.” Kevin whispered in her ear.

Anna nodded. Kevin smiled and left. Ayush met him just he exited the class.

“Principal wants to meet you.” Said Ayush. Kevin kept moving but now towards the Principal’s office.

“Ma’am you called me?” said Kevin opening the Principal’s door.

“Yes, I did. Please sit down” answered the Principal pointing towards the chair in front of her. “So how are you?”

“Fine, thank you” Kevin answered sitting down in the chair.

“How are your studies going?” the Principal asked.

“It’s going really well.” Kevin answered.
