I was at Prose checking challenges and then saw this and found out that US constituion got its first amendment and without seeing anything but the tilte of this challenge wrote my view on this:

I don't live there - It didn't affected a bit!

Just kidding it did to a degree unimaginable

This was the joke that it did

Who's reading this anyway - go read an actual entry

Bye!!

I meant this beautiful person. We bonded right away! He was like my long lost brother and I was him. The next day, he called out to me shouting "Ankush!" and my mind stopped my voice cracked - I had forgotten his name!

Rozee's eyes are filled with a dream to live a peaceful life, but time and again her parents fail her in achieving this goal. Her childhood friend Dhruv has never felt parents touch but has received a parent's love from his elder sister Khushboo, she for his tender brother sacrificed her dreams. Dhruv wants to live and make Rozee like life again. 

Rizwan likes Rozee and when Dhruv meets Rizwan, he knows that Rizwan can make Rozee like life once again. With Shagun being rude to Vinay and him suffering from bad blood with Rozee, Ishita and Arnav will not care much about this and Kanika with her motherly caring nature and Sahil as a quite father, and of course  the love-sick Aalochna helping him while hiding a secret, Dhruv will make Rizwan help Rozee, but will she love life again?

April 15th, 2017

Aalochna (on phone): Hey Dhruv, you love me.

Dhruv (on phone): How’d you get my number?

Aalochna: You love me. (Aalochna hangs up)

Dhruv (to himself): What is up with this girl? (Dhruv searches on the internet for - A girl keeps on saying that I love her but I don’t what should I do? As he reads the result) Congrats! what are you doing, taking this for granted. This is a once in a lifetime chance. Just go with the flow. (slamming the phone on the bed) What is this, I don’t love her.

Khushboo (in kitchen; shouts while laughing): But she knows you do!

[Rizwan and Rozee reach their destination, there they see a moving van and beside it a welcoming couple with their daughter – Aalochna. Rozee comes to her].

Rozee: Aalochna what are you doing here?

Aalochna (points at the flat above Rozee’s flat): We have bought that flat, and now we’ll be living there, but I should ask you what are you two doing here together? (Rizwan and Rozee blush)

Rozee (surprised; pointing at Aalochna’s flat): Really that flat.

Aalochna: Yep that one it is.

Rozee: That flat is directly above mine.

Rizwan: What a coincidence.

Rozee: There is one more coincidence (to herself) or that was foreshadowing.

Rizwan: What?

Rozee: You said we might find Aalochna here and we did (both laugh).

Aalochna’s mother: So, you are her new friends.

Rozee: Yes.

Aalochna’s mother: Who is that faithful person she thinks is in love with her now?

Aalochna: Mummy! (Aalochna leaves)

Rozee: You know about her passion of that sorts!

Aalochna’s mother: Yep I do, I bet it’s not this boy.

Rozee: No, it’s not him but your new neighbour.

Aalochna’s mother: You!

Rozee (points at Dhruv’s flat): No but you see that flat there the boy who lives there, he’s the one.

Rizwan: We are going to his home let’s take Aalochna too.

Aalochna’s mother: Aalochna, come here.

Aalochna: What is it?

Aalochna’s mother: Your friends are going to give you a great surprise.

Aalochna: What is it - I love surprises.

Rizwan: What about Dhruv?

Aalochna: You are a silly boy, he loves me.

Rizwan: That means you don’t love him. (Aalochna is speechless).

Rozee: Anyway, let’s go.

[They all go to Dhruv’s place. They are standing in front of their door].

Rozee (in Aalochna’s ear): Keep him busy for a minute. (to Rizwan) Bye I am going.

Aalochna: Bye.

Rizwan: Bye but why are you leaving?

Rozee: You’ll know, now just ring the doorbell. (Rozee leaves)

Aalochna: I’ll ring it!

Rizwan: Ok.

Aalochna: Not ok I am the only one who’ll ring it!

Rizwan: Go ahead, ring it as much as you like.

Aalochna: I shall ring it not you.

Rizwan: Okay ring the bell and get over with it.

Aalochna (ringing the doorbell): I’ll ring it!

Rizwan: Finally. How does Dhruv put up with her?

Aalochna: Because he loves me.

Rizwan: Yeah! we know that already.

[As the door opens they are shocked seeing Rozee opening the door and behind her their teacher Khushboo].

Rozee: Welcome to sis’ home.

Khushboo: This is the first time my students have come to my home. I feel like crying.

Rozee: Come in have a seat.

Khushboo (sad): Rozee you are saying all that I want to.

Rozee: Ok, let’s do this again. go out both of you.

Aalochna: Dhruv loves me.

[Dhruv in his room]

Dhruv (to himself): Did I hear Aalochna? this couldn’t be, how’ll she come here.

[Khushboo opens the door]

Khushboo: Welcome, kids, come in, have a seat.

Aalochna: Where’s Dhruv. (Rozee leads the way)

Rizwan: I just want to know why Dhruv lives with you and how did Rozee open the door?

Khushboo: First make yourself comfortable.

Rizwan (sitting down): Tell me Ma’am.

Khushboo: Don’t call me Ma’am here, sister will do, it embarrassing to hear, being called Ma’am outside the school. Tell me what would you like to have?

Rizwan (shy): You are being awfully kind to me.

Khushboo: Oh! I’m just like this.

[In front of Dhruv’s room]

Rozee (to Aalochna): You be quiet. (to Dhruv) Open the door, I need to enter, close your eyes.

Dhruv: Why do I need to close my eyes?

Rozee: Just do it.

Dhruv: Ok, but I have a bad feeling about it.

Rozee (while entering): Don’t worry, something really - good is going to happen.

Dhruv: I don’t trust you on this. Now can I open my eyes.

Aalochna: Yes, you may.

Dhruv (while opening his eyes): What happened to your voice? (eyes now opened) Ah! No, no this can’t (jumping from his room to Rozee’s room) I am out of here.

Aalochna (caught his leg; didn’t let him reach Rozee’s room): No, you don’t.

Dhruv: What have I done to deserve this!

[In living room]

Rizwan: So, I take it Dhruv must be your husband.

Khushboo (laughing): No, silly boy, he’s my brother.

Rizwan (to himself): I’ve been hearing this a lot lately. (to Khushboo) And what about Rozee.

Khushboo: For that go there (points the way to Dhruv’s room. Rizwan leaves. To herself; aloud) Wow! My students have come to my home to study yeah! First, I should make some tea.

[Khushboo goes to the kitchen. Dhruv’s room].

Rizwan (shocked seeing Dhruv being pulled in from the window by Aalochna and Rozee laughing; shouts): What the hell! Aalochna what are you doing!

Aalochna: Can’t you see I’m pulling him in, he was trying to run away.

Rizwan: He’ll get hurt, Rozee why are you just standing here and laughing?

Rozee: Rizwan, he won’t get hurt compared to Khushboo sis’ rage this is nothing.

Rizwan: Rage? She is as kind as a con man.

Dhruv (being pulled in): Don’t call my sis a con man.

Rozee: Not cool Rizwan.

Rizwan: I didn’t mean it like that.

Aalochna (pulling Dhruv in): Then what did you mean?

Rizwan: I was just - wait a minute we are getting of topic here.

Rozee: No, this is the ‘topic’.

Rizwan: Sorry okay sorry. Maybe I’m not good at comparing things.

Aalochna (pulls Dhruv in; to Rizwan): Yes, you’re not.

Dhruv: let me go! (Aalochna leaves him) I could have died back there.

Rozee: You think we wouldn’t let that happen.

Dhruv: Why are you all here, especially Aalochna.

Khushboo (in living room; shouts): Come here all of you, have some tea.

[All coming in]

Dhruv (coming in, seeing Khushboo smiling to herself): Why is she so bubbly?

[All sit, Aalochna jumps on the seat besides Dhruv].

Aalochna: Dhruv loves me.

Khushboo: I won’t mind Aalochna as my sister-in-law (except Dhruv everyone laughs).

Dhruv: Don’t you start with it.

Aalochna: Hey since we all are here I have a query.

Dhruv: It must be something like me loving you.

Aalochna: I don’t need any queries for that because I know that you love me (Dhruv sighs, Khushboo laughs).

Aalochna: You guys are in the same class as Shagun, right?

Rizwan: Yeah, we are so?

Aalochna: You noticed how mean and rude she is to Vinay.

Rozee: That she is, but how come you’re so interested in it?

Aalochna: Because I saw love for Vinay in her eyes.

Dhruv: I saw it too. (to himself) She’s becoming a love guru all of a sudden.

Rizwan: And Vinay is kind to her then why would she be rude to him?

Khushboo: You guys have exams coming up don’t you, so stop with this soap opera and tell me your doubts.

Aalochna: Who said we have doubts. Does anyone of you have any doubts?

Rizwan: No.

Khushboo (angry): Then why’d you come?

Aalochna: I don’t know, I was invited here.

Rozee: Rizwan and I came here to hangout and on the way, we meet Aalochna and invited her too.

Khushboo (angry): Then go home and study or you’ll fail.

Dhruv: Sis, don’t be a party popper.

Khushboo (enraged): What did you call me!

[Dhruv tries to run away but Khushboo grabs him and throws him out of the window, Aalochna jumps after him. Rizwan is frightened. Khushboo and Rozee sit calmly and enjoy the tea].

Rizwan (shouts): OMG!

Khushboo (sipping the tea): Don’t worry Rizwan, Dhruv and Aalochna will be fine.

Rizwan: How can you sit calmly and drink tea after throwing your brother. And Rozee you too.

Rozee (sipping the tea): Cool down Rizwan nothing will happen to Dhruv.

Rizwan: What about Aalochna then?

Khushboo: He won’t let anything happen to her either.

Rizwan: Sorry but I’m worried so I am going to check on it.

[Dhruv slams open the door with Aalochna in his arms fainted, not from the fall but from being in Dhruv’s arms].

Dhruv (enraged): What the hell sis, you drank my tea also!

Rizwan (runs towards him): Are you alright man, do you not realise that you were just thrown out of the window.

Dhruv (putting Aalochna on the sofa): I don’t mind that, but my tea, my tea!

Rizwan (shocked): You are worried about the tea!

Dhruv (sitting down): Hey, Rizwan can I have your tea.

Rizwan (still in a state of shock): Yeah of course. But there’s Aalochna’s tea also so - (turn around and looks at the tray) Oh, you drank it already.

Dhruv

: Rizwan you look pale I think you should go home now. Should I accompany you?

Rizwan (still shocked): No, I’ll go myself.

Khushboo (stands up): No, you won’t I will take you home. Until I come take care of Aalochna.

Rozee (in sync with Dhruv): Ok.

Dhruv: I have an idea let’s sprinkle some water on her face so that she wakes up.

Rozee: Ok I’ll just bring some.

Dhruv (with a naughty smirk on his face): No, let me.

Rozee: No, Dhruv no whatever you are thinking I won’t let you do it.

Dhruv: Please, I just want to throw a bucket full of water on her so that she wakes up.

Rozee: No.

Dhruv (sighs): I’m going to my room. (He stops as he is pulled) Now what is it? (Dhruv is shocked).

Aalochna (pulling on his shirt): Bring the bucket. I am ready.

Dhruv (smiling): You sure are diligent.

Rozee (imitating Dhruv): Your love has come sweet heart (all laugh).

[Around 6 o’clock Kanika and Sahil are in a park]

Kanika: Look an ice cream stall, let’s go there.

Sahil (while walking to the stall): So, which flavor would you like?

Kanika (blushing; while walking to the stall): Anyone will do if you’re the one giving it.

Sahil: So, how about chocolate?

Kanika: Ok. (they reach the stall and finds Ishita with a guy there).

Sahil: What are doing here and who’s he? 

Ishita: Arnav - We are going out

Arnav(in sync with Sahil, to the vendor): One chocolate ice cream please (both laugh).

Kanika (to Ishita): Why they are ordering only one ice cream?

Ishita (to the vendor): Please make it four ice creams.

Arnav: No.

Ishita: Yes! (they all go and sit down on a bench and eat their ice cream). Isn’t this tasty.

Kanika: Sure is.

Arnav (sad; eating the ice cream): Could have been more if we shared.

Sahil (sad; eating the ice cream): Yep

[Later that evening, Rozee, Aalochna and Dhruv are at their room’s windows, talking].

Aalochna: I think we should go and meet Shagun tomorrow and ask her about it.

Rozee: I’ll ask others, if they want to come but anyway I am and (loud) Dhruv are definitely - coming.

Dhruv: Even if I say no, I know I would be dragged to Shagun’s place (all laugh).

Khushboo (shouts): Either you study or go to sleep!

Dhruv (without thinking): Shut up! Oh no, bye guys remember me.

Khushboo (shouts): Dhruv!

April 15th, 2017

[In Aalochna’s house. After midnight]

Aalochna’s mother (to her husband): Wake up! I hear noise coming from Aalochna’s room.

(wakes up, hurries out of the bed): Lets hurry, I hope it’s not what we think!

Aalochna’s mother (heading to Aalochna’s room): I’m scared.

Aalochna’s father: I’m also scared but we must be strong for our daughter. I’ll call the - 

[Rizwan’s house. It is his 7th birthday, all his family and friends are gathered there, they are waiting for Rizwan to come and cut the cake. Rizwan’s room, he is in front of the mirror].

Rizwan (to himself; aloud): I look so handsome, all girls will fall over me, what can I do my smile is so flattering that it makes everybody fall in love with me. I love myself.

[Rizwan’s mother comes and knocks the door]

Rizwan’s mother (knocking the door): May I enter?

Rizwan: You may enter.

Rizwan’s mother (while entering): Everyone is waiting for you downstairs, so - (Rizwan interrupts).

Rizwan: Ok, you shall go now and I will come soon.

[Rizwan’s mother leaves and Rizwan again looks himself in the mirror]

Rizwan (to himself; aloud): Everyone waiting for this excellency. Sometimes I think my handsome face will steal not only other’s heart but even mine.

[In the living room]

Rizwan (while coming down): You all can at least applaud while I enter.

[Everyone with a bit of dismay starts clapping]

Rizwan: Thanks guys, you don’t have to do it. But seeing me I know you couldn’t control your hands.

[Rizwan comes and stands in front of the cake and cuts it and eats it]

Rizwan (annoyed): What is this strawberry cake, I don’t like it.

Rizwan’s father: Don’t worry we’ll arrange a new one.

Rizwan: No, leave it, I want my gift now. Bring it now.

[A basket is brought with a cute puppy in it]

Rizwan: He so cute, give me- give me. (now in his hands) He’s so cute!

Rizwan’s mother: She is not he.

Rizwan: I’ll name her Susie.

Random Female Cousins: Show her to us also.

Rizwan: Am I a magnet because girls just come after me (the girls leave).

[Few days later. Susie finds a football and kicks it towards Rizwan]

Rizwan: So, you want to play (he kicks the ball) Come on let’s play (to his mother) I am going out to play in the park. And don’t worry if I am late, probably some girl will be flattering me.

[In the park]

Random Guy: Look it’s that boy who thinks too great of himself.

The Girl: Don’t say like this behind others back, have courage to say it to their face. (The Girl walks to Rizwan; to Rizwan) Before you say anything like that girls come after me you should know one thing, I hate this kind of attitude. (she looks at the football and Susie; on her knees) Oh! So cute puppy, and this little guy even has a little ball with him (she looks carefully) her, I meant her. So, would you like to play football with us but only after you throw away that irritating attitude of yours.

[Rizwan is just amazed seeing her, it’s a birth of young love]

Rizwan (stunned): Ok.

[They start playing, a suave, plump boy with a heart filled with sarcasm and a boy with a smile to steal anybody’s heart also joins them, all have a lot of fun. For about a week this continues to happen, Rizwan comes with Susie and seeing The Girl is again speechless. But one day The Girl didn’t come. In Park].

Rizwan (to Random Guy): Where is that girl, she didn’t come today.

Random Guy: Her parents got divorced and she had to change her house.

Rizwan: Could you tell me her name?

Random Guy: Yea her name is-

[Present time]

Rizwan: I asked him and he told me her name was

Rozee (completing Rizwan’s sentence): Rozee.

Rizwan: You said it, it was you. And ever since we got in the same class I wanted to tell you, (to himself) I like you. (to Rozee speaks fast; blushing) Would you like to play football with me. (to himself) Shit, I screwed it, kill me I don’t want to live anymore.

Rozee (blushing): Yea, why not.

Rizwan: Really! You mean it.

Random Guy (passing by): Why would she have said it if she didn’t mean it.

Rozee: Who is this guy? Excuse me Sir.

Random Guy: Yes?

Rozee: Who are you?

Random Guy (smiles; while walking away): Who me – I am Ankush, your same old Random Guy!

Rozee: He’s a stalker.

Rizwan: Yep. 

[Rizwan and Rozee reach their destination].

Ankush means STOP

Ankush Corruption

Ankush Poverty

Ankush Global Warming

[In IX-A]

Aalochna: Dhruv, you love me.

Dhruv: No, I don't.

Aalochna: You love me, I know it.

Dhruv: No, I don't.

[Later that evening Sahil invites everyone (Aalochna, Dhruv, Ishita, Kanika, Rizwan, Rozee, Shagun and Vinay) to a coffee shop for Kanika's Birthday party at 9 o'clock].

Ishita: Thank you everyone for coming here and be part of Kanika's birthday, Sahil and Kanika meet because of me so, thank you me. Most of you might not know who she is, but we are here to know her only so now I would ask her to take the stage.

Shagun: Where's the stage (everyone laughs).

Ishita: I meant to stand up and speak.

Kanika: Hi everyone so, how does it feel to come at a stranger's birthday party (everyone laughs). Only two of you all know me – Ishita and Sahil. This day has become even more special to me with your presence, thank you all for that, but this day is important for me not because of this is my birthday but this the same day that last year I got the courage to tell Sahil that I like him. The story is way too long so maybe some other day I'll tell you about it.

Aalochna: Promise?

Kanika: Promise.

[They all are celebrating. Meanwhile].

Sahil (blushing; with a spoon in his hand; to Kanika): Here, would you like to have it from my hand?

Kanika (blushing): Yea. (after eating) Now it's my turn! (Sahil takes a bite).

Aalochna: Let's all of us do this in pairs, I with Dhruv (Dhruv moans), Rozee with Rizwan, Shagun with Vinay.

Shagun: I am out of all this.

Vinay: So, am I

Shagun (to Vinay): Do you always have to repeat after me

Dhruv: Let's not fight guys, its Kanika's birthday. (Shagun calms down)

Rizwan: I'm in. (blushing) Rozee so would you give me a bite or shall I give you?

Ishita (puts her spoon in Rizwan's mouth): Why don't I help you. (everyone laughs)

Rizwan: Why'd you do that?

Ishita (grins): Because I was left behind.

Rozee (with a spoon in her hand; to Rizwan): Would you mind? (Rizwan eats)

Aalochna: Here you go Dhruv (Aalochna shoves the spoon in Dhruv's mouth).

Dhruv (shoves the spoon in Aalochna's mouth; still food in his mouth): Tit for tat.

[Everyone enjoy till 10 o'clock and then leave]

April 15th, 2017

[In IX-A, today they have a half day].

Aalochna: Hey Dhruv, I need to tell you an awesome thing.

Dhruv (moaning): I know it.

Aalochna: You love me.

Dhruv (nodes; doesn't listen): No, I don't.

[After school, Dhruv runs to home, because of Aalochna. Rozee is looking for him when Rizwan comes there. Everyone else have left for their homes].

Rizwan (to Rozee): Why are you still here?

Rozee: I am waiting for Dhruv.

Rizwan: Dhruv?

Rozee: Yeah, we walk to home together.

Rizwan: And why is that.

Rozee: Don't you know that we live in the same – (Rizwan interrupts).

Rizwan (completing Rozee's sentence): That we live in the same house.

Rozee: No silly, we are neighbours, but in a way, you can say we live together.

Rizwan: In what way?

Rozee (angry; starts to leave): Not in the way that you are thinking about.

Rizwan (follows Rozee): I swore I didn't mean it that way.

Rozee (stops): Ok, and let me clarify for any "other" confusion, our flats our next to each other.

Rizwan: Oh! That's way.

Rozee: Yeah, that way, by the way, oh my god I am saying way, way too much. Anyway, (agitates), again I said it. Have you seen Dhruv by any chance.

Rizwan: Yeah, he left. Aalochna was again after him.

Rozee: I guess, this type of love isn't rational, its physical – physically insane. (both laugh).

Rizwan: So, now you'll be leaving without him.

Rozee: Of course, why do you ask?

Rizwan: Well I was hoping (stops).

Rozee: You once told me. (with enthusiasm) Just say it.

Rizwan (blushing): I was hoping I could walk you to your home.

Rozee (blushing): Ye-ah, why- why not.

Rizwan (blushing; with eagerness): You mean it!

Random Guy (passing by): Why would she have said it if she didn't mean it.

Rozee: Shall we go now? but wait won't your family be worried that where you went?

Rizwan: Don't worry I'll tell them that I'm at your place with your phone.

Rozee: Wait I have an amazing idea let's crash Dhruv's house.

Rizwan: Yeah, I just had a thought what if we find Aalochna there (both laugh).

Rozee (while laughing): We might.

[They exit the school and Rozee took the longer route to home intentionally].

Rizwan (to himself): We've been walking for long, she hasn't said a thing, should I say something.

Rozee (to herself): We've been walking for long, he hasn't said a thing, should I say something.

Rizwan: So, how are you? (to himself) Shit this is what I said!

Rozee (confused): Huh? I guess I'm fine and you?

Rizwan: Yea, I'm too. (to himself) What the hell am I saying?

Rozee: So, what are the things you like?

Rizwan (to himself): I like you (to Rozee) I love football.

Rozee: And is there any specific reason behind it?

Rizwan: Yea, at first, I didn't like football, I occasionally watched it but then after she came I-I

Rozee: Who she?

April 13th, 2017

[Dhruv's class, there is a new admission – Aalochna (an alluring girl, who's diligent about love). She sits on the first seat (window side). She saw Dhruv coming in class she liked him and believed he fell in love with her. And her happiness broke the roof when he sat beside her. Ishita knows her from a competition she participated in, a year ago. They fought for the first position and the whole time Aalochna kept saying that Ishita loves her, while they were doing the dance off Aalochna fell of the stage and even after that she kept on insisting that Ishita loves her. In class IX-A].

Ishita (to Aalochna): Do you still think I am in love with you?

Aalochna: Darling, get over me, I think this boy is in love with me now (pointing at Dhruv).

Ishita (sarcastically): Oh! Yeah - definitely.

Aalochna: Hey Ishita, who's this boy?

Ishita: You like him?

Aalochna: Yep, I like him but he's in love with me, can you introduce me to him.

Ishita: Sure, I can. (Dhruv sits on his seat).

Dhruv: Hey guys, what's up? (to Aalochna) So are you the new admission, you look good.

Aalochna (whispers in Ishita's ear): He's totally in love with me.

Ishita (whispers in Aalochna's ear; jokes): Girl, he's going to take your heart away.

Aalochna (whispers in Ishita' s ear): He already has.

Ishita (to Dhruv): This is my lost love, Aalochna (both girls laugh).

Dhruv: What do you mean by lost love.

Ishita: Nothing, Dhruv where are your manners, introduce yourself.

Dhruv: I'm Dhruv, and you?

Aalochna (timidly): Aa-lo-ch-na – Aalochna.

[Sahil comes in]

Sahil (to Ishita): There's a boy calling you outside.

Ishita (to Sahil): Who?

Sahil (siting down): I don't know.

Dhruv: So, you going?

Ishita: No, it's a hassle.

Dhruv: For you everything is a hassle.

Ishita: And the biggest one, you.

[Khushboo enters the class, after introducing Aalochna to the class, she starts teaching. In IX- B

Outside the class Vinay is stopped from entering the class by a gang of boys of class X].

Male Student A: Where do you think you're going?

Vinay: In the class where else.

Male Student B (annoyed): Don't try to be over smart (pulling Vinay's collar) you get that.

Vinay (steps back): What's your problem?

You know this girl.

Vinay: Yes, she's my classmate.

Male Student C: She proposed to you about a week ago.

Vinay (confused): How do you know about it?

Male Student C (angry): And you turned her down!

Male Student A: She is our boss's little sister, you made her sad, now it's payback time.

Female Student (passing by): Vinay, I am waiting for the answer.

Vinay: I told you no.

Female Student (passing by): No, I won't accept 'no' for an answer.

[Teacher comes, so the gang leaves. Rizwan also comes].

Rizwan (to Vinay): You sure are popular with the ladies, it must be fun.

Vinay: It's more trouble than fun.

[The period before Recess]

Rizwan (turned around; to Rozee): In recess let's go to the canteen.

Rozee: Hmm, I don't know.

Rizwan: Come on, be a sport.

Rozee: Ok, who else will come with us?

Rizwan: I don't know, I'll invite others. But do you mind going with me (hesitates) alone.

Rozee: No-no, it's not like that.

Rizwan: Okay, I'll go in the next class to ask them.

Rozee: Ok.

Rizwan: By the way, you're not ignoring me today, I thought you were a shy girl.

Rozee: What made you think that?

Rizwan: Well for starters, I tried to talk to you for a whole year but you didn't reply at all.

Rozee: I don't talk to strangers.

Rizwan: Then why'd you talk to me in the sick room.

Rozee: Dhruv told me to, just that.

Rizwan: Did Dhruv told you talk to me right now also, aren't I practically a stranger.

Rozee: Rizwan are you getting jealous of Dhruv, and if you don't remember, let me jog your memory I was about to leave after saying what Dhruv had told me, but I stayed because I thought you were-were (stops) never mind.

Rizwan (with anticipation): Just say it.

Rozee (speaks fast): I thought you were an interesting guy (Rizwan blushes).

Rizwan (shy): Thanks!

Rozee (blushing): And you are not a stranger, I think of you as a friend (Rizwan again blushes).

Rizwan (blushing): Thanks again.

[The whole class - IX is on the ground with class – X, for their P.T. class. Rizwan is playing Football with other students. Rozee is enjoying the sport as a spectator. Rizwan asked Dhruv to play but he refused. Vinay is playing cricket, enjoying cricket are the spectators- Dhruv, Sahil, Ishita and Aalochna].

Ishita: So, how's Kanika these days?

Sahil: She's fine.

Ishita: I was hoping you'd​ invite her to our party.

Sahil: I might but still it's up to her to come.

Aalochna: Who's Kanika?

Dhruv: Sahil and Kanika are seeing each other.

Aalochna: And Dhruv you, are you seeing someone.

Dhruv (sarcastically): Yeah, I am, I am seeing stars, cars and what not. (Aalochna laughs) I am not.

Aalochna: So, is there someone you like?

Dhruv: No, there's no one.

Aalochna: Why are you saying that when you love me?

Dhruv: What, why are you saying that? I mean you seem nice but I don't think of you like that.

Aalochna: Don't lie, you can tell me the truth that you love me.

Dhruv (annoyed): Please, cut it out already. (Ishita goes to the washroom).

Aalochna: You love me!

Dhruv (annoyed): No, I don't (Dhruv starts to leave, Aalochna comes after him). Don't follow me!

Aalochna: I will, because you love me.

Dhruv (sarcastically): Ok, I do, how'd you know?

Aalochna: It's my sixth sense.

Dhruv: More like an illness.

Ishita (coming from the washroom; to Aalochna): You still at it?

Aalochna: What can I do he loves me! (Dhruv sighs).

[Arnav (a tall bold boy with a baby face) comes and stands in front of Ishita]

Arnav (to Ishita): I need to talk to you.

Dhruv (to himself): It feels like he's going to confess to Ishita.

Ishita: What is it?

Aalochna: Dhruv loves me. (Dhruv sighs).

Arnav: I asked to come out through Sahil but you didn't come.

Ishita: So, what?

Aalochna: Dhruv you love me.

Dhruv: No, I don't.

Arnav (blushing; excited, speaks fast): Ever since I saw you I was mesmerised by your persona, would you go out with me!

Dhruv (to himself): I was correct. I think Ishita will say no. So, let's try this, he will say yes. (to Arnav) Are you sure about it, Aalochna would be the perfect match for you why don't you ask her?

Arnav (to Dhruv): No, and you love her I don't.

Dhruv (to himself; shocked): How would I be wrong!

Ishita (to herself): It takes guts to confess, he seems nice also. (to Arnav) Ok, now go I'm busy.

Dhruv (to himself; shocked): I was wrong about this also!

Arnav (while going): Ishita said yes! Ishita loves me now, she said yes!

Dhruv (to himself): He's like a male version of Aalochna, could they be related? (to Ishita) why'd you said yes?

Ishita (to Dhruv): He seemed to be a nice guy, and he would have bothered me if I said no.

Dhruv (to himself; laughing): If living becomes a bother to her she might suicide.

[After the P.T. period its their W.E. period, in this sections A and B merge. In W.E. room there are two long tables, students sit on them facing each other. Rizwan is sitting on the first seat from the door in front of him is Rozee and beside him is Shagun. In front of Shagun is Vinay. Beside Shagun is Ishita, in front of her is Aalochna, beside Aalochna is Dhruv and in front of Dhruv is Sahil. They are talking while waiting for Khushboo to come in class].

Aalochna: Dhruv, how it feels to love me?

Dhruv: I don't love you.

Aalochna: Don't lie I know you do.

[Khushboo enters the class].

Khushboo: Class before we begin, I have an announcement to make, so stop talking and pay attention, (shouts) stop talking. Your class tests are beginning from 17th April. Maintain this silence I am coming in a bit.

[Khushboo leaves the whole class starts talking].

Sahil: Please would you all come to Kanika's birthday party on 14th?

Dhruv: Yeah, we would.

Vinay: What time?

Sahil: I'll tell you the time and place on the phone.

Ishita: Hey now listen-listen to me, we have a new friend, this is Aalochna, this is her first day and she believes Dhruv is in love with her.

Rozee: Really!

Aalochna: What do you mean believe, I know he loves me.

Vinay: First day, first love!

Dhruv (annoyed): Stop with that!

Ishita: Dhruv's so irritated that he can be declared a psycho.

Rizwan: Dhruv so, you're a psycho now.

Shagun: And the reason you are in this mess is love, love really makes a person mad.

Vinay: I don't think, it's like that.

Shagun: Did anyone asked you?

Vinay: No but - (Shagun interrupts).

Shagun: Then shut up!

Ishita: Shagun that's rude.

Shagun: These people should be dealt in this way only.

Rozee: Why are you so annoyed at Vinay, what did he do? (Vinay is surprised as Rozee is taking his side). I know he can be a bit too much sometimes but he's a nice guy.

Vinay: Thanks, Rozee.

Rozee: Shut up I' m not talking to you.

Vinay (to himself): She hasn't completely forgiven me yet.

Dhruv: Hey, listen since we have our exams coming up, I was hoping - (Aalochna interrupts).

Aalochna: Wait we have exams coming up!

Sahil: Didn't you hear, Ma'am announced it just minutes ago.

Ishita: But how could she hear Ma'am when she was so busy telling Dhruv that he loves her (expect Dhruv everyone laughs).

Dhruv: Not funny Ishita. As I was saying, "now we all" know that tests are coming up so I think we should cancel our party and concrete on our studies.

Rozee: You're just saying that because you don't want to cook.

Dhruv (to himself): Dam, she guessed it. (To all) It's not like that.

Aalochna: Dhruv you can cook!

Shagun: We can postpone​ the party.

Vinay: Yeah, why didn't I think of that.

Shagun: Because you don't have a brain to think.

Sahil (in sync with Rizwan and Dhruv): Savage!

Rozee: What date should it now be held?

Ishita: How about after the exams in May.

Dhruv: No postpone, let's just cancel it altogether.

Rozee: What did we talk about in the sick room.

Dhruv: Ok, how about on May 32nd?

Rozee: Real funny Dhruv!

Aalochna (shouts): Dhruv's in love with me (Dhruv sighs).

Sahil: I think Ishita is right, in May summer break it would be fine, what do you say?

Shagun: Its ok with me.

Vinay: With me too (Shagun twitched but didn't say anything).

Rizwan: Since our holidays are beginning from 20th  then 20th would be fine.

Rozee: No, 21st is a Sunday then it would be the perfect day.

[All agree with Rozee. And now on May 21st the party will be held. Khushboo enters the class].

Khushboo: I asked you all to be quite and you are shouting like goons. Now pay attention here today we are going to make this - (Aalochna interrupts).

Aalochna (shouts): Dhruv loves me.

Khushboo (shouts): Get out, now!

Aalochna: Yes Ma'am.

[Khushboo resumes her class. After W.E period it's the recess and the canteen is closed, so Rizwan and Rozee don't go to the canteen].
