In the corridor, Megha and Yakshit were seen sitting on the floor,


Y - We're surely going to be suspended.

Me - Chill Yakshit. Maximum detention de'ngey. Aur kuch nahi.

Y (tired) - Tumhe protest karna hai toh karo, par main kyun karoon protest?

Me - Well you're the one who said kuch bhi aasani se nahi milega. Ladna padta hai.

Y (shocked) - I didn't mean protesting in front of the principal's office. Vidyut bhaiya, Isse please samja'eye na.


As they sat in front of the Principal's office, Vidyut stood in front of them trying to understand,


Vd - Yeh kya naya drama hai Megha?

Me - Drama nahi hai. This is me initiating change. Jab se school aayi hoon, cheekh cheekh ke keh rahi hoon mujhe bhi boxing seekhna hai. Par nahi, boxing is just for boys. Warrior High is being sexist. And this is my chance to bring change.

Vd - Toh? What makes you think that they'll listen to you now?


Megha gives an evil look and smirks,


Me - Kal se exchange program hai, best time to protest. Their reputation is on the line, Iss Barr inhe maanna hi padhega.

Vd (impressed) - Clever.

Y - Sirf hum dono ke aise betney se kuch nahi hone waala hai.


Yakshit spoke pessimistically as he sat helplessly with palm on his cheek.


Me - Don't be so negative Yakshit. More people will join.

Vd (pausing) - I... Don't think anyone is interested... In this boxing.. I mean in this so called change.

A - Or may be... They are. Protest toh change ke liye ho raha hai. Nothing about what kind of change.


Angela walked towards them and had a big smile.


Vd - This doesn't seem good.

Vidyut was scared seeing Angela's smile. He knew something was going to happen. Within few months, Angela gathered her friends and joined Megha. They all sat holding few pluck cards "We need Change". But not everyone was happy about the protest but had to join as Angela strategically (emotional blackmail) pulled them in.

While the others sat down on the corridor, Sid and Vidyut were standing getting signature of students who wanted change but were too scared to participate in the protest.


Vd (irritated) - We are in 12th standard. We should be attending classes and studying. Not doing this.

He looks at Parth who was sitting and studying in the propest with a book in hand.


Vd (angry) - How come Parth gets to study and I don't.

A (sly) - That's because Parth isn't my slave for the week.


Vidyut looks at Sid who was staring at Megha.
