13 - SOMETHING OFF

Sanvi -

"Okay, what is going on?! This women hasn't texted me in WEEKS and today, out of the blue, she wants to 'talk'? Did she hit her head or what?"

Prapti (her savage city bestie):

"Girl… are you even okay? I mean, how's your long-distance prince charming doing?

'Cause ever since you left, your so-called loyal Romeo has been out here creating full-on Bollywood drama at school."

Sanvi (POV, internally combusting) -

"Whaaaat the actual hell?! I just spoke to him! He said everything's fine! Why would he hide this? I swear if this is a prank—I'm flipping a table."

---

Sanvi -

"I mean, I'm fine… I guess. I actually talked to Abhishek today. He said everything's good.

Yeah, we hadn't spoken in, like, a month—but he told me he didn't have his phone 'cause of his dad and he was trying to 'give me time'. So…"

Prapti -

"TIME?! Girl, he's not giving you time, he's giving you LIES.

That boy's out here skipping class, arguing with teachers like he's on a debate team, forming fight clubs with the boys, and chillin' at the basketball court every evening like LeBron.

And guess what? With his phone.

You sure he's dating you and not his phone?"

Sanvi (soul shattered, knees weak, brain buffering):

"...I think... I need to confront him. Like, what even is this mess?"

Prapti (zero sugarcoat mode):

"Girl, are you dumb or just in denial? He won't tell you the truth!

Ask anyone in our class—he's been wildin'.

You don't fall in love overnight, but you definitely fell for the wrong one.

I'm not trying to be mean, but your taste in guys needs therapy."

Sanvi:

"Okay okay, I'm done. No more texts to Abhishek. I'm going full FBI mode now. Thanks for the heads-up. Bye!"

POV~

Sanvi becomes Sherlock Holmes.

She messages classmates.

She even interrogates Abhishek's so-called "bros."

And the jury is unanimous:

"He's lying. And yes, everything you heard... is painfully true."

Cut to:

Sanvi—phone in one hand, heartbreak in the other—texts Abhishek, spills the tea, BLOCKS him like a boss,

Then collapses on her bed and cries like she's the lead in a sad music video.

Cue the emotional montage:

"Tears on my pillow, betrayal in my soul…"

She cries. She sniffs. She sobs herself to sleep.

---

Next morning, at school…~

Sanvi (in her head)-

"From now on, no trust. ZERO. Boys? Same species, same lies.

Today, if anyone messes with me, I'll destroy them emotionally.

And no, I'm not dramatic. I'm traumatized."

Just then—drumroll please—someone calls her from behind...

---

Pranjal (teasing, clown energy)

"Yo, why do your eyes look like you got into a fight with your sleep schedule? Puffy much?"

Sanvi (laser beam eyes, zero chill) -

"It's not from sleep, dumbass. It's from crying."

Pranjal (still joking) -

"What, forgot to do homework? Don't worry, I got you."

Sanvi (dead serious) -

"It's not homework, genius. It's my boyfriend. Or… ex-boyfriend now."

Pranjal (internal system crash)

"Wait... you had a boyfriend? Well... not anymore, I guess."

Sanvi -

"Yeah. We broke up yesterday. The guy was cheating on me. Kind of. No, actually, fully."

Pranjal (trying not to scream with happiness) -

"Oh... I mean… wow. That's... horrible. So, so bad. Tragic."

Sanvi -

"Don't sprinkle salt on my wounds, okay? Talk to me later. Bye."

Pranjal (walking away like he just won the lottery) -

"Sure, sure. Bye... (THANK YOU, UNIVERSE! BLESS UP!)"

Authors POV ~

And just like that, Sanvi's heartbreak turns into her villain origin story.

But who knows… maybe, just maybe, there's a plot twist waiting.

Because this school?

It's not just about exams—

It's about betrayal, drama… and maybe, revenge.

Coming soon: "Sanvi Season 2 – "Rise of the Queen."
