The decision for a room

In the boys sports room...

Shivam: Really? Nice, very nice.

Piyush: It is nice. Dog will bite that fuck, you will see.

Ashutosh: Lucky bastard, why do always they get the girls who are already have one?

Akash and G-one enter...

Ayush: Here he is. Your chest must have inflated into breasts today, hasn't it? I can see that on your face.

Akash: You see my breasts on my face. What are you saying?

Ayush: Hey now, understand the feelings, don't just go with the words my man.

Akash: It was just a confession from a sweet girl, don't make a big deal out of it.

Shivam: Sweet huh. The boy has tasted and checked.

Akash: Because she understood and accepted the rejection humbly. She didn't overreact to it. If it were somebody else, it would have been a nice chatting subject by now.

Ashutosh: Good for you, if Lily finds out, then four shoulders are ready for you.

Akash: She won't do anything. She knows I wouldn't betray her like that.

Piyush: I will tell her, let's see what she does.

Akash: Your ass is itching too much. See a doctor.

Piyush: Yes, yes it is itching. And this itch will only be sated when she rips your ass.

Akash: Do you think she is Like Lavangi? Your ass will turn red but the itch won't stop, I bet.

Piyush: What Lavangi? She was hit on by some guys. I wonder who they were.

Harsh: You serious? Lavangi! Got hit on by someone? Has she really turned that harmless?

Akash: Your question would have been answered if you had seen her a few minutes ago. She choked me to death.

Piyush: When did that happen?

Akash: When she was being hit on by some guys. The guys she mentioned was me, but in the reversed sense. I was the one being hit there.

Piyush: Why was she wringing you out?

Akash: Because she heard from somewhere that I got a confession from another girl. She thought I betrayed Lily, that's why.

Piyush: (thinks) Holy shit! What would she do if she were betrayed instead? (imagines Lavangi ripping him like a piece of paper).

Harsh: Then the talk is already in the air. She must have definitely told Lily by now.

Akash: Let her. I know my heroine. She is not that crazy to just believe anything.

G-one: (peeping through the window and sees Manas playing with the girls)

Ashutosh: Yo bro, what are you looking at?

G-one: I was wondering where Manas was. Now I know.

Ashutosh: Shanaya pulled him out with her as soon as we arrived here. She wanted him to teach them some moves.

G-one: That's why he is not in his outfit. I see.

Piyush: She will tear yours.

Akash: She will not.

Piyush: She will.

Akash: I said not.

G-one: Hey, tear it, won't tear it. Let's go. I am craving for some run.

Ana watching the girls as they followed Manas on what he was demonstrating.

Manas: (tosses the ball to Aishwarya) Ok, I need to go now. Let's do this tomorrow.

Shanaya: (grabs his arm) Wait a little, just one more move.

Manas: (nervous) What! What are you doing, Shanaya? The boys will be coming here any second. If they see us like that, they are gonna talk.

Shanaya: What are they gonna say?

Manas: That, that there is something going.

Shanaya: Where? Between us?

Manas: Let me go, Shanaya.

Other girls laugh at the scene, while Ana gives a smile from the back. The boys creep over from behind.

Ayush: Ya, cling, cling on. Don't mind us. Tear his shirt off.

Shanaya bends a little on her back and a basketball launches towards Ayush, he dodges and G-one grabs it.

Ayush: Who was that? Who was that huh?

Aishwarya: (taunts)

Ayush: You broke the flow of the guchy-guchy, come on, what are you doing girl?

Manas: (breaks free) It isn't like that. She was forcing me to show them few more moves.

Shanaya: Maybe.

Manas: Certainly.

Shivam: Ok ok, it is our time now. Ask him to teach you in your activity period. Move it, hurry up.

Meena: Ya, ya. Don't be such a jerk. We are going.

Harsh: (to Manas) Go get changed. If you rip your pant while playing, your sack will be hanging out the whole way home.

Manas: I am wearing underwear, damn it.

Harsh: So, what? No body wants to see your panties.

Ana looks back at G-one as she walks away with the others.

Piyush: Yo bro, did something happen between you and her again?

G-one: Nothing serious. I just apologised to her for leaving her lying unconscious at that time.

Akash: Oh, you are talking about that time, are you?

Piyush: Ya, that was a dick move leaving her there.

Akash and Piyush: Huh!?(stare at G-one)

G-one: Yes, she knows and I admitted it.

Piyush: Don't tell me (puts his finger on his HART), you showed her this too.

G-one: Yes, I had to.

Akash: (grabs his head and crouches) Fuuuuuuck!

Piyush: You had to? Is your a brain or a dick? Is she your wife that you showed her that?

G-one: She started crying, man, because of me.

Akash: I agreed when you asked me to trust her, but to a limit. But showing her your HART, is over the top. What if she discloses this to someone? The reaction might be tough to withstand.

G-one: I told you, she is trustworthy. And I told you she was crying.

Piyush: Fuck, you would show it to anyone if they cry in front of you.

G-one: Not just to anyone...

Piyush: This weakness of yours to girl's crying will get us in big trouble one day.

G-one: It is not just for only girls, I don't like anyone crying.

Akash: Just be glad, that he didn't flip out on this one.

G-one: I flip out on anyone crying!? Definitely not.

Akash: Oh yes, your eyes stretch out like this when you see someone crying (stretches his eye lids with his fingers).

Shivam: Hey, what are you three sucking over there? Hurry up, let's get the running started.

After college...

G-one and his group walking out of the campus together, laughing and stumbling around, Piyush stuck under the arms of Simar and Lavangi trying to rescue him. Akash grinning over it while Lily scolds Simar. Mia showing a mobile function to G-one and Moon that helps in studying. Suddenly someone taps on G-one's back, but G-one sees no one as he looks back. Mia turns following G-one. Suddenly a bark pulls their attention and they see Buddy roaming around Ana standing before them. Ana pets him.

Moon: Hey, it's our senior. The beautiful one.

Ana: Did you not see your face before saying that Moon?

Moon: It's what everyone calls you.

Ana: Who does?

Akash: You again! Where is water? Where it is?

Ana: I drank it.

Akash: What! Don't tell me,

Ana: Do not say too much.

Lily: (swats Akash) Your mind is always in the gutter.

Mia: Why this way today, Ana?

Ana: Why, you ask. Cause I wanna go with you all.

Mia: But, your dorm is the other way.

Ana: It is, but I am hoping to live in a rented room like these three idiots.

Akash: Oye! Calling us idiots costs money.

Mia: So you are looking for a room this way.

Ana: Yes, would you help me look for it?

Moon: Why take such trouble? We have a room, why don't you come stay with us. It is big enough.

Akash: Aye!

Piyush: (breaks through Simar's grip) Hey! Is your brain on holiday. How could she stay in our room?

Moon: Why? Just like me, ofcourse.

Akash: You are our sister, princess. You staying with us is right. But, if she stays with us, then she will win this round.

Piyush: (yells) You mean it would be morally inappropriate.

Akash: Ya, that too.

Ana: (annoyed) You made this a competition too.

Akash: Ofcourse, when it took me so long to find this room, how could you get a room in such a short time compared to me? How?

Lily: (pulls his back) Again another stupid talk.

Akash: You won't understand, heroine. She is my rival.

Lily: In basketball. Keep the rivalry till the court, please.

Ana: (sighs)

Mia: I think you may find a room around G-one's neighbourhood. That area has many houses with rent offers.

Ana: Is that so? I should check it out.

Moon: I would still say that you should come and stay with us.

Piyush: Oh god! Someone give her a lollipop and shut her up, please.

Ana: Thankyou Moon, but only you could stay with these idiots cause they are your brothers. I got allergy of such people.

Akash: Ok, 150 rs. Cough up, I told you calling us idiot will cost you. Come on, give it here.

Lily: Again, (twists his ear) Behave yourself, if you can't help then shut up.

Akash: Ow, ow, ow. But she called me an idiot.

Lily: She called you because you are one.

Akash: Is she related to you that you are taking her side.

Lily: She is..

Ana: Dogs walking on two legs are so annoying. Buddy is better than him, right Buddy (pets).

Buddy: (Barks)

At the intersection...

Lily: We are off.

Akash: See you on insta today.

Simar: (winks to Piyush)

Piyush: (joins his hands and signs her to go)

Lavangi: Do you need our help Ana? Should we come with you?

Mia: Yes, we can assist you.

Ana: Thankyou, but I have people to help me out (looks at G-one and party).

Akash: Why are you looking over here? There is no agreement between us.

Piyush: Who is gonna help whom?

Moon: Yes, I will help you look.

Akash: Is this your village that you will help her find a room?

Lily: Let's go, her job will be done (walks away with others).

Akash: (stretch his hand out) You accepted that very easily.

Ana: Come on, Moon. Let's explore your village.

Akash: What the hell, village!

Piyush: Oh shit! Another headache.

G-one: (smiles)

Standing before G-one's room...

Ana: Is that where you all are staying?

Moon: Come on in, you should see the room atleast (pulls her along).

Ana: Wait, Moon, I don't think...

Akash: (walking behind them) Do not suggest her to stay here again, princess.

Piyush: If she does, I am gonna complain about her to my mother.

Akash: Complain to your mother, about whom?

Piyush: About her ofcourse, she is getting out of hand.

Akash: Hey termite, she is not your real sister, your mother doesn't know about her.

Piyush: Maybe, but my father does.

Akash: So then, you are going to complain about her to your father.

Piyush: Damn I will.

Akash: What would he do?

Piyush: Call her back to home.

G-one: (pats on Piyush's shoulder) That won't be necessary. Ana isn't that stupid to stay with three virgin boys just like that.

Piyush: Who you calling virgin? You are virgin.

Akash: Let's get a DNA test.

G-one: Never heard a DNA test tell if you are a virgin or not.

Ana: (looks around, in awe) Is this really where three boys live? I am sure you do the cleaning.

Moon: Nah! I am still learning. They do the cleaning and the arrangements.

Ana: Really! G-one must be the one doing that.

Akash: Excuse me, (slips in) G-one is handling the cooking department. I and Piyush rotate daily for sweeping duty.

Piyush: Why are you so surprised? Is the cleanliness blinding your eyes?

Ana: Very proud over this skill of yours. Why not join the municipality? You both are gonna earn good.

Akash: (annoyed) Grrrr!

Piyush: Get lost, before we sweep you out.

Moon: Calm down you two. She is our guest.

Akash: Isn't this guest of yours giving us too much respect? We can't digest that.

Ana: Do not get me wrong, it wasn't respect. It was just a career suggestion.

Piyush and Akash try to lunge towards Ana but G-one and Buddy grab them from behind respectively.

Ana: I should go and continue on my search or I will lose time.

Moon: Wait Ana, eat something before you go.

Ana: No, no, I don't want to impose. Don't trouble yourself for me.

Moon: This is no touble. Only if you don't mind eating the food we cooked this morning.

Ana: I, umm.

Moon: Looks like you do.

Akash: (puts his bag on the table) Ofcourse, she is a queen unlike you princess.

Piyush: She is not accustomed to stale food. She might prefer something, fresh. Right, queen?

Ana: Get me whatever you have, I will have it.

Moon: Do not listen to them, the food is not stale.

Ana: I know, that's why I am asking you to get me some.

G-one: Ok, ok, I will get it.

Ana: Why you?

G-one: Because I am going to get for myself as well.

Moon: He has to go out for his part time job.

Ana: Then, are you two gonna help me look for a room?

Akash: Why ask us? We are just a couple of sweepers, right?

Piyush: (acting as if looking for a broom) Broom, where is the broom? Time to carry out my duty.

Ana: No need to be that serious about it right now. Time for sincerely carrying out your duty will come.

Akash: How are we supposed to help you, my queen? We are new to this city as well. Have you thought about it?

G-one: (comes with two plates in his hand) Don't worry, I know some people who could help you get a room swiftly.

Moon: Oh wow, that would be very nice. Who is it?

G-one: You won't know. But she will recognise them.

Buddy: (sits before Moon wagging his tail)

Moon: (pets) My baby.

Akash: Give him some food princess, he is hungry.

Moon: Oh (runs towards the kitchen).

G-one: (focused on his plate).

Ana: (staring at him while chewing).

G-one: (notices Ana) Why, does the food not taste good?

Ana: It does. I was just watching you, you eat very slow.

G-one: My teeth take their time to chew properly. That's why. I can't eat like those anacondas (indicates Piyush and Akash).

Ana: (suppresses her urge to laugh) I see (takes another nibble).

G-one: Let's be quick. I don't wanna be late for my shift.

The supermarket...

Subhu: (arranging stocks on the shelves) Kajal mam, did you check the last delivery list? The product on this shelf count below the limit. I wonder if you had included it in the last order.

Swati: You should go check it in the storage room.

Subhu: That would be a hassle. There is a lot of stuff in the last order. I don't wanna turn the items in the storage room upside down.

Kajal: (comes out of the office tying her hair, holding a hairpin between her teeth) Umm, let me see, name of the product.

Subhu: (mesmerized by her looks, whispers) Oh wow!

G-one: (standing at the door, charmed by her looks as well) What a beauty!

Swati: (looks at G-one) Huh!

Ana: (vexed, pushes G-one inside)

G-one: (stumbles inside and looks at Ana)

Swati: (thinks) Look at this idiot, complimenting another woman in front of his girlfriend, what to say.

Subhu: (slides towards Kajal lustfully) It was this item.

Ana: Would you introduce me to that person you told me about and free me?(stomps towards the counter)

G-one: (sees as Ana walks away, thinks) What happened to her? (wipes his face looking at Kajal) Oh god, lusting over older woman like this will get my ass kicked one day. Man!

Swati: (standing behind the counter) How can I help you, Miss?

Ana: Sorry, I came with that guy (indicates G-one). Actually, I was told someone here could help me solve a certain problem of mine.

Swati: Is that so?

G-one: (goes towards Kajal, bewitched)

Kajal: Hmm, that is here in the list. Take the list and check the box number. Go.

Subhu: Yes mam (hops away)

G-one: (rests on the counter before Kajal)

Kajal: Oh G-one, you are here. Good. Get behind the counter. I will be taking the assisting job today as well (turns to walk away).

G-one: Mam!

Kajal: (stops, turns) Yes, you have something?

G-one: Mam, you look very ho... (foot crushed by Ana, shivered in pain).

Swati: (yells) G-one, hehehe! You wanted to ask mam something for your friend over here.

G-one: (looks at pissed Ana) Ahem! Ya, I was wondering, if you could help my senior with a rental room. She studies in the Central college and hopes to rent a room closer to the college.

Kajal: Oh, just that. You came to the right person. I know many dorms around the college, let me tell you.

Ana: No, mam. I am already staying in a dorm. I would rather like a private room if you could tell me one, that would be very helpful.

Kajal: But why? Dorms are more beneficial, specially for a girl.

Ana: Yes mam, you are right, but, it is kinda expensive for me.

G-one: (surprised, looks at Ana)

Swati: Yeah, dorms tend to be expensive. That's true.

Kajal: Ok, if you want to. A room, it would be easy as well. I think I heard my mother talking to one of her friends once who had a room to rent. If she hasn't rented it to someone else yet, then I will talk to her about you.

Ana: That will very kind of you.

Kajal: Fine, give me your contact info then. I will call you as soon as I confirm it.

Ana: (overtakes G-one) Sure. Here it is.

G-one: (listening to them sincerely, peeping in Ana's phone)

Ana: (stares at G-one)

Kajal: What are you doing G-one? Slide away, trying to steal her contact number, are you?

G-one: Oh, no, I was just...

Kajal: Move it, then.

G-one: (sad, slides to Swati)

Ana: (Snickers)

Swati: What's this? You don't even have your girlfriend's number yet.

G-one: Girlfriend! Look at her face, and look at mine, do we even match?

Swati: You do, you don't know it but you do. And if you would ogle another girl before your girlfriend then she will definitely not want to be your girlfriend.

G-one: Is this a girlfriend girlfriend game going on here? I told you she is not my...

Ana: Thankyou mam. I will be going now.

Kajal: Yes, I will contact as soon as possible.

Ana: Thankyou, once again (walks towards the gate).

Swati: (swats G-one) Go..

G-one: Where?

Swati: Escort her outside the gate, dumbass.

Ana: (looks at G-one)

G-one: (steps towards Ana)

Kajal: G-one, where are you going?

G-one: I was...

Kajal: Get behind the counter, quick. Customers are on their way soon.

G-one: Yes mam. (looks at Swati, then looks at Ana).

Ana: (smiles and waves him bye, walks out).

G-one: (again looks at Swati)

Swati: Tch! (signs him to come to the counter).

G-one: (heads towards the counter).

The next day...

At the college gate...

Mia: So, did Ana find a rental room?

G-one: Not yet. She has talked to my boss though. She said she will get her a room soon.

Moon: Oh! So you took her to your boss, yesterday. Ah! But, boss who?

Mia: It's the senior of G-one where he works.

Moon: Oh! I see. I thought it was someone's name.

Mia: Silly! How could some...

Someone taps on G-one's back, G-one looks behind but only sees Piyush hanging in Simar's arm and Lavangi pulling him down, Akash and Lily chatting at a distance.

Mia: Oh! Ana!

Ana: Good morning, everyone.

Moon: Yo, good morning Ana.

Piyush: (looks at Ana still hanging)

Akash: Hey, it's that bitc.. (slapped by Lily).

Ana: I will be coming with you all soon. I will get a room in that direction.

Moon: Then you could come play at my room with me.

Ana: Ofcourse, we could do much more.

Moon: We will go to Mia's house with Baby.

Ana: Oh! Where is he?

Moon: He went to his friends.

Mia: Like all of us.

Ana: I see.

Mia: But four legged ones, not two legged ones like us.

Moon: Oh she knows that, stupid.

Ana: (giggles)

G-one: (smiles)

Karan's lackeys see Ana getting along with G-one as they walk inside.

The classes run as usual. Piyush tired by all the pushing and pulling by the two girls, rests his head on G-one's left shoulder as class gets over. Moon tired of all the studying, rests her head on G-one's right shoulder. Mia sits beside G-one as she explains the practicals she has completed to everyone. Piyush walks around the campus and always finds Simar thrashing someone trying to be a badass. He even finds Lavangi helping teachers, staffs and fellow students. The thing was, G-one and Akash switched their roles from teachers being helped to the student being thrashed respectively. They try to catch their breath as they rest on back of each other sitting in a corner. The days pass as the nonsense continues.

Activity period on someday...

Boys stretch on the court meanwhile Risabh steps in then rests on his knees huffing from all the running.

Piyush: (pats on Risabh's back) Nice going. Just cool down for a bit.

Risabh: (wipes his face off) Thankyou.

Shivam: So, gonna divide the team up?

Manas: Let's do it.

Ashutosh: Let's mix the lining up. It has been the same team for so long.

Ayush: Right, let's switch it up a bit.

Akash: (stretching his arm) I like this idea.

Manas: Hmm! Shall we change the captains too then?

Harsh: You and G-one always took that title.

G-one: How about we let Akash and Risabh to be the captains?

Risabh: (nervous) Me? But I am still a newbie.

Piyush: Don't worry, Akash won't be able to beat your captaincy any way.

Akash: Excuse me bro, I have been playing this long before he came in. You think he could do better than me.

Piyush: We should test it out. What do you say?

Akash: Okay, I will shut that cocky mouth of yours. Risabh, you go and take G-one and Piyush in your team. I will be having Manas, Shivam and Harsh in mine.

Ashutosh: Hey, what about me?

Ayush: One of us will have to be a refree then.

Ashutosh: Let's decide with rock, paper and scissors.

Ashutosh: (looses) Shit!

Ayush: (high fives with G-one)

G-one: Nice, let's do this.

Akash and Risabh's team stand face to face to each other as battle auras flew up into the air.

Akash: Let's show them brothers, who is in how much water.

Harsh: (spits) I will give in everyone's mouth today.

Shivam: (punches his left palm) I will gift them their ripped butts.

Manas: (touches his head) What is it? A basketball match or an ass ripping contest?

Piyush: Hey, G-one, show those bastards who is the boss here. Everyone, everyone of them will suck balls.

G-one: Huh!

Piyush: Basket, basketballs, fuck.

G-one: Oh! But wouldn't that be too big for them.

Piyush: Then there are smaller balls too, in my undies.

Ayush: Son of a bitch, dayum.

Risabh: What should I do?

Piyush: You go ahead and do the jump ball.

G-one: You know how to do it right.

Risabh: I know. But I am not sure. I will be able to hit it to our side.

Ayush: Don't worry, you just try your best. The ball will come to us eventually.

G-one: (smiles and thumbs up).

Ashutosh: Come into circle, captains. Hurry up, I want in by the third quarter.

Akash: Calm your tits homie. Let me set the court on fire.

Risabh: My ass is sweating, so be easy on me.

Akash: Your dick will sweat too, just wait.

Harsh: Nope, you don't need to make that sweat.

Akash: Yeah right. It only sweats... nevermind. Will you toss the ball already? What, waiting for an auspicious moment?

Ashutosh: Sweat out first, dimwit. Here I go.

Ashutosh tosses the ball and Akash slaps the ball towards his team. The game starts with a adrenaline rush in Akash and his team but ends with G-one and his team's tribal dance.

Shivam: (rubbing his forehead) You gotta be kidding me.

Harsh: (gloomed) Damn it, son of a bitch.

Manas: Risabh was just captain in name. G-one and Piyush did his job in his place.

G-one and his team: (tribal dancing)

Akash: (grinding his teath)

Subhan and some of the footballers joined him.

Akash: (yells) What the hell are all you happy about? Go play your football damn it.

Subhan: It looked fun.

Footballer: It is.

Akash: Our friendship is over, over.

Subhan: (laughs) Ok, ok, no need to be pissed about it. Come on boys (leaves with his boys).

G-one and his team: (continue dancing)

Akash: Will you cut it out already? This court is not Hawaiian Island.

Ashutosh: Hey, I didn't get to play. Let's go for another match.

Manas: Yes, maybe Ashutosh could make a difference.

Akash: Another match, what do you say?

Piyush: Bring it on, crazy shit.

Another match ends with G-one and his team's tribal dance.

Shivam: (rubs his forehead) Oh hell no.

Manas: Well, he did make a difference though. Atleast scores are not that far off.

Harsh: I am the refree now. That's the only beneficial difference.

Akash: (endanger reaction).

Ashutosh: Maybe, we will win the next match.

Manas: Will you shove that dance in your asses, please?

G-one notices the girl's coach lecturing Simar and Lavangi.

On the girl's football field.

Lady coach: If you carried on like this, you both will have to sit out the coming match. What's wrong with you two?

Lavangi and Simar: (listening with their head down).

Mia: They should stop joking around. It is affecting their game.

Lily: Only Piyush can make them understand now.

Mia: Isn't this your partner's fault actually?

Lily: That idiot, I will rip out his balls one day. He will stop coming up with this eccentric ideas of his.

Akash: (shivers) Mummy!?

G-one: (wonders something holding his chin).

Ana: (gently smiling while looking at G-one through her classroom window).

Girl beside her shoves her lightly to bring her back to the class.

After classes, on their way back to their room, through the college gate...

G-one: (wraps his arm around Akash's neck) It's okay, bitch. Sometimes people loose. It is part of the game.

Akash: Damn it man, you better not have used your powers there.

G-one: What did you say? Did you see me using my powers? And it wouldn't have been fun playing if I did. And you have powers too, prove me that you didn't use.

Akash: Come on, if I did, Had I lost?

Piyush: What's this about powers? Who got powers?

G-one: Umm, I was just kidding. He tried to frame me as a cheater.

Piyush: (waves his hands as negative) Na, na, na, na. Loser's ass itches after loosing and he begins blaming others for his shit. This is what happens when someone tries to rip asses of their own people.

Akash: (clenches his fist, grinds his teeth) You don't sound like my own people right now, son of a termite. I saw who did the most work on the court, you were just swinging your dick around while Ayush and G-one did all the shooting.

Piyush: Oh yeah, says the one who lost twice even when he had three of the best players or should I say four best players in his team. Counting the refree ofcourse.

Akash: Asshole, I will rip your ass tomorrow.

Piyush: Your asshole, I will sew it tomorrow.

G-one: (laughs) That would be worst then ripping, where will he poop from then?

Piyush: God gave him mouth, which he already uses to do so.

Akash: And why does your mouth stink like shit then? Do you eat it?

Piyush: Crazy fuck!

Akash: Termite fuck!

They begin swinging arms but G-one stands in the middle keeping them apart.

G-one: Ok, take it easy. We have to play basketball tomorrow as well.

Mia and others walk out with Ana behind G-one.

Mia: So, you didn't find a room yet.

Ana: That's how it is. I didn't get a phone call from Kajal mam yet.

Lily: I wish my apartment had any empty room.

Ana: Don't worry about it. She is still looking for it. She messaged me to be calm.

Lavangi: Isn't this woman is the one who works at the supermarket?

Lily: Oh! That, G-one is working there, with her. That's dangerous.

Moon: Why so? Is she a demon or something?

Lily: Only if she were a demon, she is worse than that.

Lavangi: Hmm, she is quite a beautiful lady if I am right. But a little older than us, about two or three years or such.

Lily: She is a naughty woman who is all about kinky pranks and jokes. And to that, she is a hottie. What if G-one gets enchanted by her.

Ana: (thinks about the scene where G-one got fascinated by her looks).

Moon: Oh! You don't need to worry about that. That's not gonna happen.

Lavangi: You know so much.

Moon: I do.

Mia: I think she is right. G-one is not like that who would fall for just any girl like that.

Lily: Hmmm! (laughs)

Mia: What's the laughing about?

Ana: Ok, I gotta go that way. See you tomorrow. Soon we will be going the same way.

Moon: We will be waiting for it, senior (waves). Hey, you three.

G-one: Look at them, they were fighting a minute ago and now...

Moon: Were they? It looks like they found their long lost brother.

Akash and Piyush walked before them with Piyush wrapping his arms around Akash's neck.

Piyush: You played amazing today my brother. You improved a great deal. You gave quite a challenge.

Akash: (laughs) You think so, thankyou man, I have been watching basketball videos. Looks like it is paying off.

Piyush: Good going man, I am sure tomorrow the difference will be much smaller.

Akash: You are saying I will loose again tomorrow.

Piyush: Maybe, but atleast you will improve some. You should be proud of yourself that you are progressing faster compared to how much time I and G-one took to get better at it.

Akash: Ok fine, just don't do that Hulalala dance though.

Piyush: Why? It was to make you smile. Wasn't it fun?

Akash: Like hell it was.

Moon: Hey, (goes to them) You are glooming over a one day defeat and here I loose to Mia everyday.

Mia: Ok, Moon, there is no competition between us.

Moon: (blinks and thumbs up with her tongue out)

Mia: What's the thumbs up about?

Akash: I can see your thumbs up princess, and the lying lip hanging out as well.

Moon: Who is lying, idiot? Ask your heroine. Tell him.

Lily: I, umm, yes, I think that's true.

Akash: What was that punishment in hell for lying? Yes, frying in boiling oil.

Lily: (jabs in his stomach and pulls him away by his ear).

Akash: Hey, your strength has increased quite a bit. Your hits hurt.

Piyush: Yo, Lily. I wasn't finished talking, girl.

Simar: (creeps behind Piyush) Won't you talk to me, pretty boy (licks her lips).

Piyush: (scared, tries to run) Ah! Aye! No.

Simar: (grabs him by his collar, laugh demonically)

Lavangi: Simar!

Moon: (laughs)

Ana: (looks back at the happy group behind her).

G-one: (looks at Ana)

They look at each other for a while until they are quite a distance apart.

Next morning...

G-one and Piyush help flip a dustbin into the garbage collector.

Piyush: Wooh! Done (jerks his hands).

Old lady: Thankyou for doing this everytime, you two.

Piyush: No problem, grandma.

Old lady: Where is the third monkey of your group?

Piyush: He is on the brooming duty today.

Old lady: I see. Wanna come eat something?

G-one: Thankyou, Grandma, but Moon is already in the kitchen cooking something.

Old lady: Oh! The girl has learned cooking.

Piyush: Sis is learning, slowly slowly.

Old lady: Atleast come have some tea. You boys help me so much.

G-one: May I ask you a question grandma?

Old lady: Ofcourse son.

G-one: Do you know any of the rental room in our locality?

Old lady: Why, ofcourse, don't you see this (points towards her house)? I have a room to spare. But I and my daughter in law live alone, so I could only lent it to girls you see.

G-one: This would be great. There is a girl I know who was looking for a room. I didn't know you were renting out rooms.

Old lady: A girl you say, has Moon decided to live separately now? Ofcourse, living with three boys could be troublesome, even if they are her brothers.

G-one: No no, grandma, it is someone from the college.

Piyush: She is not cut out to live alone grandma, she is still a child. She would be safer if stayed with us. (thinks and glares at G-one) Only if this person who is not a brother of her could control his hands, crazy shit.

G-one: Huh!

Old lady: Ok ok, I understand. Bring her over. If she likes it she could stay here.

G-one: That would be great. Thankyou.

Old lady: Bless you kids.

Piyush: See you again then, grandma.

Piyush and G-one walk away.

Old lady: Look, they engaged me in a different conversation and made me forget the tea part. Fine, I can always ask them another time.

G-one: Where is her son again?

Piyush: I think she said he was a navy officer or something. He barely comes home.

G-one: Hmm! Well, if she lives right in front of our room, there would be nothing to worry about.

Piyush: And why should we be worried about her? She is taekwondo maniac. You didn't forget that, did you?

G-one: I was talking about grandma.

Piyush: I know who you were talking about, shitface. Do not even think about cheating on my sister.

G-one: Do you realise that you are too much into this brother and sister roleplay.

Piyush: Well, if I am doing something, then why not do it the best way I could.

G-one: (sighs, whispers) Because of that I can't do anything, bitch.

Piyush: What you say, punk?

The classroom...

G-one: It's incomplete.

Akash: What do you mean it's incomplete? Mia!?

Mia: I, I don't know. I copied it from a senior I know.

G-one: Looks like he or she didn't do the job properly. It is incomplete and she jumped to another experiment description halfway.

Piyush: Ridiculous! The person must have copied it from someone else then.

Mia: Oh no, I should have studied it carefully before writing it all down.

Akash: Damn! What are we gonna do now?

Piyush: We should copy it down too. Looks like teachers didn't pay attention to their work. They just wanted them to finish it. Let's fill our practicals and submit it.

G-one: What if they checked the contents this time? We would loose our marks bitch.

Piyush: That's a 50-50 chance.

G-one: I don't like that probability. I won't do something in which I am not sure about succeeding.

Piyush: Let's take the risk crazy shit. Could be worth it? It always is.

G-one: That's what you believe. Well, every one has their opinion. You can take the risk. I will find the practical book and extract the missing info.

Piyush: Waste your time. I would rather copy this one and free myself from the work.

Akash: Umm, I am confused. Who should I agree with?

Piyush: My (indicates his crotch).

Akash: (middle finger)

Mia: I know, we could check out the library. I am sure they have practical books on our subjects.

Piyush: Even if they do. It will take too much time to look for the right one and write it down.

G-one: Atleast I will feel safe about it. It would be worth it.

Piyush: Go do your thing.

Mia: I will come with you too.

G-one: That would be helpful.

Lily: (comes) You all are talking about going somewhere?

Akash: What the! You took too long. Did you go to buy snack or make em?

Lily: It is crowded fool. I brought what I got. Moon and others are still struggling for their parts.

Piyush: Moon was only supposed to go with you. Did you all push her into the crowd as well?

Lily: I didn't push no one. The crowd surrounded her by themselves, specially the boys.

Piyush: What you say? G-one!

G-one: I will go bring her back.

Akash: It was a bad idea to let the girls go buy the snacks. I will come with you too. I will show em how an expert does the job (cracks his knuckles, walks out with G-one).

Lily: (puts the snacks and sits down) Ah! He is going when I came.

Piyush: (checks the package) What! You just got four pieces.

Lily: I told you it is crowded, Piyush. And, are you not going with them?

Piyush: (puts a samosa in his mouth) Nah! I would rather eat then go. Those two will get the thing done. I believe not moving my hands where it is not needed.

Lily: Quite a typical belief.

Mia: Ya, very typical. But G-one has a unique one.

Lily: Everyone has different beliefs which they think is right. What is unique about G-one's belief?

Piyush: What! That's not unique. Most people like to do the thing which has a higher chance of success. Won't you?

Lily: I would. Is that what G-one believes? It is very common, Mia.

Mia: Is it? When is the last time you did something on which you think had a higher chance of success.

Lily: I.. umm.. don't remember. I never needed to calculate success rate for any work.

Mia: Tell me, if you did any?

Piyush: I don't believe in such things. I think you should just finish the work, whether you succeed or not.

Lily: Ya, I agree with it.

Mia: Well, if I am right, G-one meant to say that if the chances are not in your favour than work to drag it in your favour. That's why he chose to change the numbers by doing the work. This way he would feel safe and be sure about his work for he did it the right way.

Piyush: Ya, you are right about it. I know him better than you. But, that belief is not necessary all the time.

Lily: Ya right, that would bring a lot of work which could have been avoided.

Mia: If you know better than me then tell me, if he implements this belief everytime?

Piyush: Nah! Not everytime, but when it is necessary. You would be stupid to implement it everytime.

Lily: And it would be exhausting too.

Mia: So, G-one must have thought it through when he decided to correct the practicals.

Lily: What practical?

Piyush: You are being very philosophical for one who botched the practical herself and doubled our work. You know, I have written half of your practical in my notebook.

Mia: (slaps her forehead).

Simar and Lavangi struggling in the crowd to get their number.

Simar: Yo punk, move your ass. Don't you see I am standing here for my turn.

Boy: Huh! Who are you bitch? Why should I give you a way? I am standing here longer than you?

Simar: You piece of shit! You dare talk back to me (grabs his collar). I am gonna pull out your teeth and make em bite your weasel.

Lavangi: (grabs Simar's arm) Hey girl, where did Moon go?

Simar: She must have gone back with Lily.

Lavangi: (looks back) What's the crowd for over there then?

Moon was surrounded by some senior boys being flirted with.

Boy 1: Yo girl, you a first year?

Moon: (smiling) Yes. How do you know?

Boy 1: (smiles at other boys) It was just a guess babe.

Boy 2: Hey, you are so pretty, your blonde hair is wow. Are you a foreigner?

Moon: What is a foreigner?

Boy 3: Like you are from a different country. America, Russia or someplace.

Moon: I don't understand. Maybe.

Boy 1: This girl seems a little silly, don't you think?

Moon: I am not silly, you are silly.

Boy 1: Sorry about that cupcake, I shouldn't have called you silly. So, why don't you come get lunch with us?

Moon: No, I am already having lunch with my friends.

Boy 4: Oh come on, we can be friends too. We will treat you to something good.

Moon: Hmm! Really! But, they are already getting that. You are not talking about that, are you? (points towards the crowd).

Boy 3: Nah! Not that sweetheart. Something more delicious.

Moon: Well, I will have to ask about it to my brother.

Boy 1: Oh, you have a brother, do you?

Boy 2: But, You don't have a boyfriend or something, right?

Moon: Boyfriend!?

Boy 1: Definitely not, can't you say?

Boy 3: Obviously, she doesn't even understand what it is.

Boy 1: Come with us girl, we will make your day worth it.

Lavangi: Those seniors are trying to woo her.

Simar: Sons of bitches... (steps forward with Lavangi)

Moon: No, I am fine. My brother told me not to go along with strangers.

Boy 1: What are you, a 10 years old or something? (tries to grab her hand) Come over.

G-one: (appears and grabs her hand before him) Excuse me, sir. Do we have a problem here?

Simar and Lavangi halt as they see G-one.

Boy 1: (annoyed) Who are you, shitface? Her brother?

G-one: A friend, of her and her brother as well.

Boy 1: (looks at his face) You are here to get her.

G-one: Yes, get her and what she came to get here that as well.

Boy 1: You are a first year right. Do you know who you are talking to?

Boy 3: (whisper) Hey, isn't he?

Boy 4: That's the boy who gut punch one of our guys that day.

Boy 2: (pats on Boy 1's shoulder) Hey, let's go. It would be wise to let this one go.

Boy 1: (jerks his hand away) What are you talking about? I won't let him keep her to himself.

G-one: (angry) She is, not a thing, to be kept.

Boy 2: (whispers in Boy 1's ear) It is him who...

Boy 1: So she is with him. Let's go, we don't need this shit right now. We got better things to do.

The boys walk away. Simar and Lavangi stood there gawking at what just happened.

Akash: (jumps before them) Hey yo, what you all doing hanging your jaws like that? This is what I was talking about. This is how you plan on charming Piyush when you can't even do a simple job like this. My heroine went back with her part and you two are just rolling your eyeballs around.

Lavangi: Did G-one's eyes got long for a second there?

Simar: I want to ask you the same.

G-one: (pulls Moon closer and checks her wrist) Did they do something? Your brother told you not to engage with strangers, didn't he?

Moon: Nah! There were just asking some stupid questions. I couldn't understand most of it.

G-one: You are too naive to understand what they were trying to do.

Moon: (puts her hand on his chest, smiles) You tell me then, what were they trying do?

G-one: (grabs her hand) The same thing those people tried to do when we first met.

Moon: First?

G-one: I mean, first after a long time.

Moon: Oh, but here. But, aren't education institutions supposed to be free of this things? This is supposed to be a sacred place.

G-one: Yeah, maybe in heaven. But the ignorant people here are just ignorant of the godly ways.

Moon: What a shame!

G-one: Let's go. Can't even let you go alone anywhere?

Moon: But, we didn't get the snacks yet. Simar and Lavangi are still in the line.

G-one: Don't worry, Akash and I will get it. You just wait here. I will send Simar and Lavangi to accompany you (goes towards them).

Akash: (swats their head) Tad! You both didn't listen to a word I said, did you? Go, I will get the snack. You two are just dungs (walks away).

G-one: (stands before them) Looks like the crowd is tough. I and Akash will get the rest. You two go join Moon.

Simar: (suprised) Hey, G-one, you are doing good right?

Lavangi: You are taking deep breaths, right?

G-one: Ofcourse, what would happen to me? You two loose your brain in the crowd struggle. Go, ease your heads. You can stand their with her or go back to class.

Both: (nod) Ok.

G-one: Let me get some work done (walks away).

Moon: (to the approaching girls) How much time do you all take? You told me you were pro in this. Better than Lily. But she is the one who got out first.

Simar: Hey, Moon, was G-one angry there, while dealing with those boys?

Moon: Huh! Why would he be? For such a small case!

Lavangi: Yeah, right. We just thought, he is always so calm and collected. We never saw him stretching his eyes like that. So we thought that, he was..

Moon: He stretched his eyes! Then he was really mad.

Lavangi: Then he gets angry too.

Simar: No way, Akash and Piyush are worse than him. That was nothing. Must be just an expression.

Moon: Yeah, just an expression. Good that it was just an expression.

Lavangi: Yeah, unlike that hothead and this monkey.

Simar: I knew he is not so stupid as them to throw his hand on those seniors just like that. It could have gotten bad. I am just surprised that they walked away just like that.

Lavangi: I wonder what G-one said to them.

Moon: He said nothing, they went away on their own.

Lavangi: Maybe they gave up thinking that he was your boyfriend.

Moon: What is boyfriend? They asked me that too.

Lavangi: (whispers in her ear)

Moon: (blushes)

Lavangi: You are blushing!

Moon: No, it's just...

Lavangi: No way, he is really not your...

Moon: (remembers Piyush and others told her not to mention their relationship to other, walks away) No, no, you are wrong. Let's go back to the class.

Simar: Right, G-one is best friend of her brother. He is like her brother.

Lavangi: Technically, he is not. What if she has feelings for him?

Simar: You are thinking too much. You are slipping out of your character. Get your skin on. Act innocent and oblivious.

Lavangi: Oh yeah! (sets her hair, joins her hands) Oh Moon, my dear. Let me apologise to you.

Simar: Please don't, or you would have to make her understand why you are apologising to her and that would make it worse.

Lavangi: Let me get the skin on, boobzilla.

Simar: You don't see, who you are talking to bitch? And you are loosing that innocent touch again.
