Kiara~

"I am bored."

No surprises there.

"Let's play something?"

Dropping my phone back into my bag, I turned and asked, "Mafia?". As the majority said no, we decided to sit there doing nothing. Out of the blue, someone suggested, "Damsharas?"

"Rhea, it is dumb charades."

"Hamare yaha damsharas hee chalta hai. Live with it."
[Here it is damsharas.]

And that's how we were flocked at the back of our class, occupying two rows. Other than ten-twelve people, the whole class was divided into two teams. Laysa, Amaya and few others on one side, while me, Jivika and the rest formed the other team. Amaya had her hand raised.

"Guys, we'll act first."

With that, we were busy trying to come up with tough movies for our opposition. Various suggestions were thrown here and there, and at last one useless one was selected. Children and their craze for avengers, this was going to cost us the first round—I could bet on it.

As Sachin told Amaya the movie we decided on our behalf, we sat there, watching how she decided to act it out. The movie was easy, but people in her team were stupid.

Showing her thumb up was the first indicator of the movie being an English one. Then came the one finger, which cleared the fact that the movie had only one word.

After that their stupidity rushed in.

Amaya tried to show that the word was being cut into half by her for better explanation. But according to the conclusion Pranav was deriving, it happened to do something with her cutting her hand.

"Haath katna!"
[Cutting your hand]

"Suicide!"

"Blade!"

"Blade Runner!"

"Shut the fuck up, will you?!"

Her hands running through her hair, she, Amaya tried finding better ways to tell them. Slashing her neck with her hand, she poked out her tongue and rolled her eyes to intensify the effect.

"Dead?"

The girl acting literally jumped into the air, happy than there was at least some progress. Spreading her hands out, I did not understand whether she was an elephant trumpeting or a butterfly flying.

"Swim?"

Turned out she was a fish.

"Sea?"

"Machli jal ki raani?"
[Fish, the queen of waters; nursery rhyme]

"Ocean?"

"Water?"

"Pool?"

There we go. Didn't I tell you that we were bound to lose this one?

And within seconds the answer, "Deadpool!" was let out with shrieks of victory. Swallowing my agitation, I went forward being the one to act it out for our team. Laysa came from the opposition, her eyes spoke that it was a Disney movie. Whispering into my ear, I wondered how in the world I was to make them arrive to that movie title.

Putting my thumb up and four fingers out, they guessed that it was an English movie with four words. Now begins the game.

Lifting my hand up, I pointed at Jivika, and gestured my hands in question.
