After the storm

It's raining outside,

G-one: (looks out the window) Damn, I hate rain. (Looks at his hand) Huh!? What happened to my hands?

Prateek's Mom: Prateek! how did you do this? (hugs G-one) I can't believe this. He is back.

G-one: (sees G-one standing before him) This, this G-one. He is from the game. And who is she calling Prateek?

Prateek's Mom: Oh! how I missed you? I am so happy today. I can't express it in words.

G-one: What's happening? Where am I?

The G-one from the game approaches him and soon both of them gets blown away. As G-one rises slowly from the ground, he sees a faceless figure standing before him, holding Prateek's Mom and breaks her neck in an instant.

G-one: No!!

Ra-one: You stupid brat! Did you really think you can get rid of me that easily?

G-one: Why you?

G-one runs to hit him but Ra-one slams him back to the ground. The game G-one jumps on him with a punch, dodging and swinging around Ra-one holds him and rips him in two.

Ra-one: It was a mistake Lucifer. Playing the game again, well, I shall thankyou for reviving me.

G-one: How? How could this be?

Ra-one: Look at him, that pathetic trash. You know how your father made me, right. With every defeat and every level, I get stronger. Meet the upgraded me (lifts G-one by his neck).

G-one struggles, perplexed by the situation he was in.

Ra-one: This time, no one can save you from me. Let's finish what we started.

He rips G-one's legs away leaving him in shrieking pain. G-one looses grip in agony when Ra-one holds his arm and pulls them off the joints. The extreme pain couldn't come out of his mouth this time, he fell on the floor, gasping for air. Again Ra-one lifts his half dead body, the faceless head sneered at him and knocks him out with a punch. With the punch G-one opens his eyes, shimmering blue returning to black. He was on his bed, lying together with Piyush and Akash. He slowly raises himself and looks at Piyush and Akash overlapping each other and Moon soundly dozing on the couch. He rubs his eyes and gets off the bed.

Soon, they walk in the through the college gate. Piyush, Akash and Moon were engaged in some bickering and chuckling while moving. G-one was still confused thinking about the nightmare he had this morning.

Piyush: What's up dude? You seem unexpectedly quiet today. You woke up early today as well. You feeling alright?

G-one: Yes, everything is fine. I am just a bit tired it seems.

Piyush: What the fuck did you say? You are tired? You think I am stupid. Like all the pent up positive energy inside you will let you go down like this. Stop fucking around, crazy shit.

Akash: What's happening? Why would you bad mouth him like that early morning? What's crawling through your holes?

Moon: Akash! Zip it.

Akash: Why me? You heard him. How he was talking.

Moon: Whatever, just don't get started with each other now.

Piyush: Crazy bitch, first hear him what he said.

Akash: Not worth getting abused, I think.

Piyush: Oh! he said he is feeling tired.

Akash: What! (kicks on G-one's butt making him bounce) Sleazy termite, the fuck did you say. Don't tell me that shit. You take us as a fool.

G-one: Ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch! (rubs his back). Why you bitch!

Akash: Why don't you tell us? What's wrong? Your problem is our problem. We will kick it's ass together.

G-one: It was another nightmare.

Piyush: Nightmare, oh come on. I thought you already got over them.

G-one: Yeah! I did. But this one was different.

Akash: How so?

G-one: There was Ra-one. And he killed someone.

Piyush: Don't think much about it, man.

G-one: You don't understand. This time it wasn't my mother. It was someone else.

Akash: What!

Piyush: You sure?

G-one: It was completely different. Everything! like I was in someone else's body.

Akash: Did you recognise anyone?

G-one: Yes, there was G-one, the one in the game and Ra-one and a woman, who was killed instantly, before I could even react. I don't know who she was. It was just awful (he holds his head with both of his hands in distress ), I couldn't do anything. Nothing!

Piyush: ( reach out ) G-one!

Akash: Get a hold of yourself man.

G-one: I don't know, but it felt so real. I just can't shake the feeling.

Suddenly Moon pulls his hands down and looks into his eyes. G-one gets submerged in her crystal blue eyes, forgetting his anguish.

Akash: Oh shit!

Piyush: Is that it? Now with Moon here, you don't need us, do you? You are just gonna hear to her only.

G-one: Oh, no, it's not like that. I wasn't thinking straight. Her eyes are just so beautiful, I forgot everything.

Akash: Their love show is starting again, I can't handle it. I am going in (walks away).

Piyush: That was cheesy, did you even hear yourself (walks away).

Moon: I was just trying to understand what was happening. Wait, you guys.

G-one: You hear that. I told you it was true. She does have beautiful eyes (holds Moon's hand) Come, they are going away. Hey wait!

Moon's hair flew with the breeze with a smile and little blush on her face. They enter the classroom.

Akash: Looks like we came early today.

Piyush: That explains why we didn't cross path with Mia and others on the way.

Moon: Why did we leave so early today anyway?

Piyush: I don't know. We woke up as usual, did our daily tasks and left for businesses as always.

Akash: Like always means after finishing everything early morning, like dumping, brushing, cooking, eating, bathing, getting ready, mastur....

Piyush: Enough, she got the jest of it.

Moon: Actually, I didn't.

Piyush: You don't need to.

Moon: Must be important. You told me to learn about these things, don't your remember?

Piyush: Not about these things, my God! Will you stop pretending like you don't know?

Moon: I really don't. I am not familiar with that word. And it seems he didn't even complete it.

Piyush: It's good you don't know. Now drop it.

Akash: You both are making such a big deal out of it, jeez! It's just a word.

Piyush: Stop filling her mind with such dirty words, scumbag. I will screw you next time.

Akash: First you keep yours in check, termite.

Piyush: Bastard, you are asking for it.

Akash: You are asking for it.

Moon: Shut up! Enough, I don't wanna know the meaning of that word anymore. Please, you two always get so carried away.

Piyush: He started it, dipshit.

Akash: You started sucking on that word.

G-one: Easy guys, I don't think I can handle it. It seems something is definitely wrong with me.

Piyush: You kidding me.

Akash: Still hung on that stupid nightmare. That wasn't even yours. Maybe a random dream of some kind.

Moon: G-one! (touches his hand) Oh no! You are burning.

Piyush: What! (touches G-one's head) It's just a fever. That's all.

Akash: Fever! That's simple. Why don't you go and get some rest in the infirmary for a while?

G-one: I was thinking so too. I think I will go (gets up and leave).

Moon: How are you so calm about it? He seems to have high fever.

Akash: It's just a fever. He will get out of it in no time.

Piyush: He is not a normal human, you already know that.

Moon: (thinks) Even though, fever tends to stay for quite sometime. And this realm doesn't have enough magic to heal him that quickly. I should go with him (stands).

Piyush: Where are you going?

Moon: With him.

Piyush: Don't worry. He will come back in half an hour. You are over reacting.

Moon: But,

Akash: Look, Mia and others came. Hey!

Lavangi: Hey guys, you showed up early today.

Simar: And we were waiting for you guys at intersection.

Akash: It was just a slight clock malfunctioning that's all.

Mia: Where is G-one? I don't see him.

Piyush: He stayed back for some work. He will be here in half hour.

Mia: I see.

Lavangi: Did you guys notice? The storm yesterday came out of nowhere.

Akash: Ya, I don't know why, but it felt kinda ominous.

Lavangi: Ya right. I felt the same.

Simar: My mother left some clothes hanging on the dryline. She forgot to bring them in and the storm made me chase them on the road. Hopefully no was around, humiliating.

Piyush: That was crazy, could have been a treat to watch you running after them?

Laughter,

Simar: Not funny, my mother act so oblivious sometimes like she doesn't know what's going on around her. She just get herself buried in those tv serials.

Akash: Oh come on, really. My mother does the same. Except for the oblivious part ofcourse.

Lavangi: What are they supposed to do? Sitting all alone at home the entire day. Better spend some time watching tv shows.

Simar: I am not blaming her. But one shouldn't indulge themselves that much into television that they can't even hear a storm running away rampant with her stupid clothes.

Piyush: Ok, ok, cool down girl. I apologize to you on her behalf.

Simar: Now why would you apologise for her? You don't even know her.

Piyush: To ease your mind ofcourse. Or you might angrily smash the bench in. And I am leaning on it. I might loose my nose.

Lavangi: Oh come on, she is not that strong. She can't even kill a fly.

Simar: Who kills flies anyway? I sure don't. What's the purpose of that?

Akash: Lavangi seems to enjoy it, don't you? Fly murderer!

Lavangi: It was a metaphor.

Simar: Signifying what exactly?

Lavangi: Your incompetence.

Simar: You use flee killing as a unit to measure strength. That means you might count your strength by the number of bugs you have killed until now. Now how much could that be? Maybe 100 flies, since you do it all the day.

Everyone laughs,

Piyush: That is a good point all right.

Lavangi: Why you! meet me outside. I will show you.

Simar: Oh! you got angry. I was just kidding, girl. Just for some laugh. Come on (wraps her arm around her).

G-one moves around holding his head.

G-one: Damn! maybe the sudden trauma from that dream inflicted me with this fever. Bitch! Now where was the infirmary again?

Suddenly hi eyes begin to show those statuses again. But this time it was distorting.

G-one: What's this? I am wearing my glasses right? What's with the vision? Maybe because of the fever. Looks like it is trying to show me some directions. Well, now I look at it, it looks kinda interesting, shall I call it scan vision? Sounds pretty damn good.

He follows the direction and reaches the infirmary. Ana spots him on the way.

Ana: It's him. Where is he going? I don't see the other two goons with him.

She follows him.

Boy: Hey! Karan, isn't that Ana over there?

Karan: Yes, it's her. She looks hot today as always. I wonder when she would submit to me and I will get to enjoy her sexy body.

Boy: Did you hear? Someone apparently bumped into her two days ago and knocked her unconscious.

Karan: What! I was told she was tired so she collapsed.

Boy: Nope, someone actually saw three boys making a move on her. They were trying to act smart and bumped into her sending her to kingdom come. Then they left her there like that leaning on the wall. It was her friends who brought her to the infirmary.

Karan: Who are those mother fuckers stupid enough to mess with my girl? How dare they? She is mine. Tell me. Tell me now.

Boy: I don't know, man. They appeared to be a group of first years. I am not very sure of it. That's what the rumours say.

Karan: I am gonna split their guts out. Find them for me. For now, let's try to fish her in. Where, where did she go?

Boy: She was there a moment ago. Holy crap, she is fast.

Karan: Issue this warning throughout the freshers. Tell them, if they got any closer to Ana, they won't be able to handle the consequences.

Boy: Right away.

Ana was stealthily following G-one when G-one strolled into the infirmary.

G-one: Oo! there it is. Damn, scan vision is really handy. Now let's see a bed. This seem comfortable (lies with eyes shut).

Ana: (peeks in through the edge of the door) Huh! (walks in). He is just sleeping there (she sits beside him on the stool). Looks like he is not feeling well (touches his forehead). Oh god! he is burning. (touches his cheek) Even this burning sensation feels good. Crap! what am I thinking?

G-one: Oh man! this is terrible. Piyush! is it you? Your hand feels so soft. (Ana flickers) You know, that girl I stumbled upon that day on the second floor. That girl was so curvy. I didn't wanna let her go. But circumstances weren't so sweet. Your touch really made me remember her. Don't take me the wrong way, I am glad, you are here. My eyes are burning, I can't see very clearly. You better go attend your class. I will meet you in sometime.

Ana: (blush) This boy! He certainly has a way with words, stupid. Even one day is not enough for the fever to ease off, how is he gonna meet them in sometime? Boys do really tend to act tough.

Teacher: (walks in) Ana! What are you doing here? Feeling tired again?

Ana: No sir, I was just...

Teacher: Ohh! Is he your friend? Looks like he has fever.

Ana: Yes sir, I just came here to look after him.

Teacher: The fever pills, umm, I don't see any. Looks like it's all used up. I got a class to take. You look after your friend here.

Ana: Ok sir. But sir, can I get a bowl?

Teacher: Take it from the cupboard over there. Take care (leaves).

Ana brings a bowl filled with water, removes G-one's specs, dips her handkerchief into the bowl and then put it on G-one's forehead.

Ana: Why did he start wearing glasses? Does he have weak eyesight? It never appeared to me like that. Whatever, the glasses aren't so bad on him. He appears a scholar by the look of it. I will put it back once I am done with the cooling.

A water drop fell on G-one's forehead with an electric crackle. G-one quickly bounces up to find no one around him. And his fever was gone too.

G-one: Wait! (covers his right eye) Did I imagine it? Shit! It startled me bad (falls back). I think I should get some extra rest. Oh! my glasses.

After a few seconds when G-one removes glasses and goes to sleep again, Ana comes to check on him, she stands at the door, looks at him and goes back after seeing him sleeping peacefully. Ana walks through the corridor only to cross paths with Moon.

Moon: Please!

Ana: Yes!?

Moon: Infirmary! Can you tell me where it is?

Ana: Oh right this way! the first room to the right.

Moon: Thankyou (walks away).

Ana: What was that? It was a spark, I saw it. I definitely saw it. It was faint, but visible enough. I will have to look into it soon.

G-one: Actually, I don't feel like sleeping anymore. I should just get up and join others.

Moon: (walks in) G-one! You are feeling alright?

G-one: Moon! How are you here?

Moon: I came to check on you ofcourse. Let me see (touches his forehead). Impossible! How did you manage to get rid of the fever so soon? In heaven you almost got down for a day atleast.

G-one: This is silly. I am stronger than I look, Missy. This kind of viral illnesses do not hold me for too long. It's just the way it is.

Moon: But how? The magic here is not that strong to let you heal so fast.

G-one: I told you. I do not get fuelled by magic. I am a science creature. Now stop asking me stupid question. Let's get back to others (rises).

Moon: Go wash your face up, you look tired.

G-one: Ok, what period it is?

Moon: Second.

G-one: Ok, you go on ahead. I will see you in the class.

Moon: Sure, better not wander off to somewhere else.

G-one: I will definitely not. What do you think I am, a kid?

Moon: Whatever, come soon (leaves).

G-one: Let's get washed up (heads for the washroom).

Piyush: Oof, I think I drank too much water today.

Suddenly someone pulled Piyush to a corner.

Piyush: Ni..Ni..Nikita! What's wrong?

Nikita: Why are you ignoring me?

Piyush: When did I?

Nikita: Don't lie to me teddy, I saw both you and Akash neglected me during the class. And you never showed up at the cafeteria yesterday. I was waiting.

Piyush: That's because we ate in class.

Nikita: Why so?

Piyush: We brought our own lunches. So, we decided to stay in class.

Nikita: Oh I see. So you decided to bring lunch, so that you could get rid of me.

Piyush: No my queen, it's not like that.

Nikita: Oh! then why did you ignore me during the class today? Why never called me to sit beside you?

Piyush: It's because you seemed very comfortable where you were sitting, so I decided not to.

Nikita: You see these nails, they can cut through a sack of balls very swiftly. I don't know why but they twitch for some reason.

Piyush: No, no, please no. Let me go.

G-one: (standing down) Hey, Piyush! Is that you?

Nikita: (Looks back)

G-one: Oops, sorry! if I interrupted some quality time. I will be on my way now. Good to see you Nikita. Bye!

Piyush: (escapes Nikita's grasp and jumps towards G-one) Oh! I was just coming for you. How lucky that I met you here.

G-one: Why for me? Stay with Nikita. I will meet you after a while.

Piyush: No, no! hehe! See, I am done here with Nikita.

G-one: Is that so? Hey! Nikita, if you don't mind me asking? You didn't show up yesterday. I, umm, we were waiting for you. Right Piyush?

The words of G-one blew her hairs.

Piyush: Ya, ya, that what I told her. But she didn't believe me.

Nikita: Really! You all were waiting for me?

G-one: Ofcourse, we thought we would have lunch together. But you never came. So I thought you were on a leave.

Nikita: No, I went to the cafeteria to look for you all but I didn't find anyone there. So I looked all over the premises but failed in discovering anyone.

G-one: Oh! that's where you made a mistake. You looked all over but didn't come to the class. We all were in the class. Actually the cafeteria is very crowded so we decided to avoid going there. Instead we brought our lunches and grouped in together in the classroom.

Nikita: I was a fool. Actually, I missed the first class yesterday, that's why I never thought of going back there.

G-one: Nevermind, why not join us today?

Piyush: (flustered)What for?

G-one: To have lunch with us ofcourse.

Piyush: Whaaat!

Nikita: But I haven't brought any lunch today.

Piyush: (whispers) Whoa! saved.

G-one: Don't worry!

Piyush: Huh!

G-one: You can eat from ours. If you don't mind.

Piyush: (clenches his fist in rage, whispers) Crazy bastard! shut up.

Nikita: (smiles devilishly) No, I don't mind. I will meet you at lunch time then.

G-one: Sure, see ya then.

Nikita blinks at Piyush and walks away.

Piyush: (chills runs through his body)

G-one: Sorry man, I never meant to intercept your romance.

Piyush: What the fuck asshole! Why would you invite her to the lunch?

G-one: What are you so mad about? I thought you wanted her to come over. She is your girlfriend, isn't she?

Piyush: How many times do I have to tell you? She is not my fuckin girlfriend crazy shit.

G-one: What the bitch were you doing on the staircase then? Transferring body heat to each other.

Piyush: She was about to cut my balls loose. That's what we were doing up there.

G-one: Oh damn! you are more intimate then I thought. You were getting to the good part. I ruined that. Shit! Don't worry, I will get it right for you. Next time I will be on guard duty.

Piyush: Just stop it, shithole. Don't do anything, please. Your face, it looks paler.

G-one: Ya, I was just heading to the bathroom to wash my face up.

Piyush: Where did you keep your glasses?

G-one: I kept it in my pocket. I was about to wash my face that's why.

Piyush: I was going the same way. Come on.

G-one: But you said you were going for me.

Piyush: So where will I find you now crazy bitch?

G-one: Ya, sorry.

Piyush: (Puts his arm on G-one's shoulder) Thankyou for the save by the way.

G-one: When did I?

G-one waits at the tap to wash his hand. Piyush stands to cover him.

Piyush: They are out.

G-one opens the tap and water crackles electricity on touching his hands.

Piyush: Wow! You have learnt to control it to some extent.

G-one: What wow! It still shines a little on water contact.

Piyush: Atleast it is fainter than earlier. It used to produce crazy lights in the start.

G-one: I don't think I will be able to take it much lower than this.

Piyush: It's fine. No one will be able to notice it at this rate. And by the way, I and Akash are always there to cover you up.

G-one: That's what kept me sane for all this time. But it kinda looks good when it crackles.

Piyush: Yes, I thought you would never say. It looks very pretty. But it can expose you so let's keep it underwraps. So how's the fever?

G-one: It's gone. You know me. Thanks to you (splashes water on his face with electricity crackling) I managed to get better soon.

Piyush: I didn't do anything. It was just a fever. What did you expect, that I would pray for you? Dumbass.

G-one's mind suddenly tingles.

G-one: Wait, you did come to the infirmary and soaked my head with a cloth, didn't you?

Piyush: Ya, I usually do that. But this time I, what to say, forgot about it haha! (washing his hands)

G-one catches Piyush's right hand and feels it.

Piyush: What the hell are you doing? Sorry, for forgetting about it.

G-one: It is hard.

Piyush: No it's not, if you are talking about my dick.

G-one: So, it wasn't you.

Piyush: (shakes his hand off) Ofcourse not.

G-one: Then who was it?

Piyush: Who are you talking about?

G-one: Did Moon come to me?

Piyush: Ya, after the class she went to check on you. Did you not meet with her?

G-one: Did anyone else left in the mid of the class?

Piyush: If you are talking about Mia, Akash and others, then no one left during the class. I didn't even tell Mia and others that you were sick. I told them that something came up and you had to stay back for a while.

G-one: If it were none of you, then who soaked my head? And that spark, it means that someone saw it.

Piyush: What did you say? Someone saw your spark.

G-one: Holy shit, man. What should I do now? I thought it was you.

Piyush: What should we do? Someone must have found out that you are not normal. What if they spread this across the whole campus.

G-one: Fuck bitch, fuck.

G-one return to class with Piyush.

Akash: There they are. You sure took your time.

Piyush and G-one were agonizing over the fact that something unintentional and bad has occurred and how to cope up with it.

Mia: (stares at G-one's twitching eyes and yesterday's scene flashes before her eyes).

Lavangi: Hey! What's gotten into you two?

Piyush and G-one take there place.

Moon: You seem down. Did something happen? (touches G-one's hand) Your temperature seems normal.

G-one: (smiles tirelessly) I am fine. It's just about the work for which I stayed behind.

Simar: Did you find some problem in it?

Piyush: He messed up big time. That's all.

Lavangi: I can see that on your faces.

Piyush: This crazy ape rolled over an entire glass of water over an important document of his. Now when he needs it.

Akash: (laughs) Is that it? Morons! It isn't that big of a deal. Just keep it in the sunlight for a while and it will dry enough to be reprinted through a copying machine.

Others giggle. Piyush and G-one looked at Akash with helpless eyes. Akash's laughter slowly faded away.

Akash: (thinks) It is something bigger, isn't it?

They nodd yes.

The lunch time. The lunch boxes lined up about to be opened when Lily walks in.

Lily: Hey guys!

Akash: Here! here! I saved this space for you.

Lavangi: Easy Akash, she is going no where.

Lily: Idiot! (blushes).

Akash: I know, I was just making sure she knows there is someone who cares about her.

Simar: What makes you think she doesn't have someone to care about her?

Akash: Cause I am the only one who invited her to have a seat.

Simar: So you are saying we didn't give her a seat means we don't care about her.

Akash: If you do, you would have prepared for it before me. You would have invited her instead of me (nom).

Lavangi: We actually care about both of you so we let you invite her. Or we had her seat ready from the very start. Here (pats on her lap)! This would have been more comfortable than what you offered, right Lily?

Lily: (Nom) I am comfortable, thankyou. And I don't need that much attention. I am good.

Akash dives into his imagination thinking about Lily sitting on Lavangi's lap.

Lavangi: You are very soft, Lily (touches her face gently).

Lily: Not as much as you, Lavangi (Lavangi pulls her closer).

Akash smirks perversely lost in his thoughts. Lily pulls his ears in anger.

Lily: You are drooling with pervy thoughts stupid. Close your mouth.

Akash: Oww! Oww! sorry.

Mia: I met with only Akash and G-one at the mall yesterday, Piyush. Didn't you need your gear?

Piyush: Huh! me?

Mia: Yes, you.

Piyush: I already have them. I bought them as a regular wear. I never thought I was going to play basketball again, but since I do. I better use it.

Lavangi: Oh yeah! How did your buying workout? Did you find a proper pair for Moon?

Mia: Ya, she got one worthy to wear.

Simar: Girls do have a difficult time choosing for their clothes.

Piyush: (nom) Ya, no joke.

Simar: Did you tried it on Moon?

Akash and G-one cough as the moaning echoed through their ears. Moon blushes in embarassment.

Simar: Hey you two! Have some water.

Lavangi: Moon, your face has gone red. You alright?

Moon: It..it's.. nothing. Haha!

Piyush: (whispers)Hey G-one! Did something happened yesterday?

G-one: Huh! what?

Piyush: You heard me.

Nikita: Hey guy! I am here.

Piyush and Akash got chilled. Piyush slowly turns his face towards the sound. Nikita flicked her fingers of right hand smiling at Piyush.

Akash: Why is she here?

Lavangi: Why she!

Simar: Man! crap!

Nikita: Hey Moon! Can I have a seat?

Moon: Please, Lily! would you move a bit? Here.

Nikita: (sits) How have you all been? Sorry about yesterday. I seemed to have lost.

Lavangi: (whispers) We were glad yesterday. Thanks to your sorry.

Moon: You don't seem to have your lunch with you.

Nikita: Oh that! I am not very fond of lunch boxes. I usually buy lunch from the cafeteria.

Moon: Oh! Here, have some of mine.

Nikita: Thankyou! But what would you....

G-one: Don't worry, it's plenty from where that come from. We always bring for the entire group.

Akash: (with shivering voice) Y..y.. yes. Have some from mine too.

Lily: Don't forget about mine, please have some.

Mia: Here!

Nikita: Thankyou all! Piyush!

Piyush: (shakes up).

Nikita: You never offered me.

Piyush: I have the same lunch as G-one and Akash. You never knew but I already offered you from their side.

Nikita: But I wanted to hear some words out of you. Nevermind, I will start with your lunch box.

Piyush: (gulp).

Lavangi: Hey! I never saw what you brought today. Umm, it's good. Simar, try some.

Simar: Yup, tasty.

Lavangi: Right (after Nikita takes one bite, Nikita pulls Piyush's box to herself). I and Simar will help ourselves with this one. Piyush, you take our lunches.

Nikita: (twitches her eyes in suppressing rage, twitching smile, collides gaze with Lavangi and Simar).

G-one: Don't worry! we have enough of it, take this Nikita.

Nikita: It's good. Who is the magician of this cooking?

Moon: Piyush and G-one both cooked it together today.

Nikita: No way! Piyush, I didn't know you can cook too.

Piyush: Hahaha (distressfully).

G-one: Have you chosen any activity Nikita?

Nikita: Activity? Like what?

G-one: Like sports or co-curricular of some sort.

Nikita: Have you?

G-one: Ya, we three joined the basketball team.

Nikita: I see. But I don't think I am very good in basketball.

Mia: Why not play football with us, then?

Lavangi: (whispers) What she gets by inviting her like that?

Simar: (whispers) She can be dense sometimes.

Nikita: Football!!

Lily: Have you played it before?

Nikita: I don't think so. I might have played something similar. What was it called again? Dodgeball or something like that.

Akash: Ya, the one you used to torture us with.

Piyush: With your monstrous throws and quick catches, that hurt like a bitch.

Nikita: Huuuuh!

Piyush and Akash: Eeeee!

Mia: Sounds good. You can be our goalkeeper.

Lily: Ya right! We don't have a goalie for our team yet. Maybe you can fill that position. How about it?

Nikita: You sure about it?

Mia: Why don't you give it a try?

Nikita: Ok, then.

Lily: Then let's meet up on the ground in last period.

Nikita: Got it.

The lunch break ends.

Lily: Time to go. See you all soon.

Nikita: I should head back too.

They both leave.

Mia: We should head for our next class too.
