-----------
Kartik and Naira wake up in the morning,they both get ready and set off for college.
*******
Naira: I wonder how today's class will go,is he going to take revenge from me or something? I hope not. I'll just mind my own business. I'm attending the college only to complete my studies,I'm going to concentrate on that only.
*******
Kartik: I'll just mind my own business and I believe she will too. I'm the college's trustee and professor. That's it. The only relationship between us is of a teacher and student. That's it.
*******
Kartik and Naira both reach the college. Naira heads to her classroom. Naira thinks maybe it's time to make a few friends since she missed the first day. She sits next to Tanvi,who she met on her first day.
*******
Naira: Hi Tanvi.
Tanvi: Hi Naira! How are you?
Naira: Yeah I'm great. What about you?
Tanvi: I'm amazing as always.
Naira: I think I should talk to everyone more and all.
Tanvi: Yes,you have to complete the sessions anyways. So better have fun than having a bland session.
Naira: Last day was crazy. That dare and all. I seriously disgust Kunal after that.
Like what the heck.
Tanvi: Well he might be rude and impossible at times,but if you get to know him well,he's actually a good person.
Naira: Yeah maybe.
*Kunal comes to Naira's seat*
Kunal: Hi Naira,so how's your 2nd day going?
Naira: *rolls her eyes*
Kunal: What? I'm being sweet to you and you roll your eyes?
Naira: Yeah, I'm glad you saw me rolling my eyes. Wow,Kunal can see.
Kunal: Oh,so much attitude? That too in 2nd day? Excuse me ma'am, every single girl in this college is crazy over me,and I'm paying attention to you,and you give me that attitude?
Naira: Yeah. Also,I didn't ask you to pay attention to me.
*Kartik enters the classroom*
Kunal goes to his seat,much surprised by Naira's attitude,but also something about Naira struck his heart.
*******
Kunal: Wow. She's different. I mean,wow. (Whispers)
*******
Kartik: So good morning class. Hope you all are doing great. Today we are going to go through the first topic. I'm going to give you a better view at Business Marketing today.
*******
Kartik and Naira make a small eye contact. They both break it really quickly.
*******
Naira: He doesn't care at all. I'm the only one who thought so much. (In her mind)
Kartik: She doesn't seem to care at all,so why should I. (In his mind)
*******
While Naira and Kartik are lost in thoughts,Kunal can't stop thinking about Naira,how she's different and doesn't fake herself. He keeps on staring at her for the rest of the class.
*******
Kunal: What the heck am I doing? I barely know her. She's the new student only,that's all I know. I've never felt anything like this before. What's happening? That too in such a weird conversation? I guess I'm just overthinking.
*******
The bell rings and the students prepare for the next class. One by one all the classes end and everyone leaves the college premises. Kartik waits for his car. While Naira can't find a taxi. Kunal notices her and comes by her side to talk. Kartik notices Kunal standing near her and doesn't like it at all.
*******
Kartik: What's wrong with me? Why do I care. (He whispers to himself)
*******
Kunal: So Ms.Naira you can't find a ride back home?
Naira: Yeah sort of,there's no taxi in sight. I guess I'll have to call an Uber.
Kunal: I have already called an Uber. If you want you can come with me.
Naira: No thanks,I can call another.
Kunal: Okay,only if you find one.
Naira: *searches for an Uber,but can't find one*
Kunal: My offer's still available.
Naira: Okay fine.
Kunal: I guess there's a magic word.
Naira: *rolls her eyes* Thank you.
Kunal: You're welcome.
Kunal: Why do I love it when she rolls her eyes,what the heck is wrong with me? (In his mind)
*******
The Uber arrives,Naira and Kunal get in. Kartik gets surprised and jealous,not knowing why.
*******
Kartik: Why are they going together? Naira could've just taken some other transport if Uber wasn't available. Anyways why do I care.
*******
Kartik's car arrives,he gets in. He continues to think about Naira during his whole ride.
*******
Naira arrives at her house. Kunal bids her goodbye and leaves.
