If you have an iPad 2 running iOS 7.1, as your profile says, you should have AirPlay, if you have the right items to interface with. Your iPad needs to be on WiFi. The AirPlay icon should show up in Control Center.

The Airplay icon will only show up in the Control Center if you have an Airplay capable device attached to your network.
