[Season:1 Episode:3]

Suddenly I felt a vibration in my body. If you think its because I finally found “the one”, you are mistaken. I felt a vibration because my phone was ringing. I quickly took out my phone from my pocket and noticed 5 missed calls from mom. Suddenly I realized that my forehead was filled with perspiration and I got a chill down my nerves. Mom’s missed calls are always scary, aren’t they?

I called back, and as I had known, I was not welcomed with “hello”, instead “where were you?” in an angry tone. I tried to explain “Mom, there’s loud music playing in here, I’m sorry I didn’t hear the ring”, I said. To my surprise, she didn’t bother about it, she was cool and had just called to let me know that I should enjoy with my friends and have a blast. I was extremely happy and contented.

“Everything’s good?”, said Siddharth who was observing our conversation this entire time. “Yeah all great, just received a call from mom” I replied. “Were you overhearing me?” I enquired. He faced a lost of words and I noticed it. He tried to prove himself but I was just pulling his leg. We laughed. Oh what a hearty laugh.

Suddenly, out of nowhere Snigdha came and started teasing me in the most typical “best friend” way. It always annoyed me.
Snigdha: Oye hoyeeee what’s up gurl? I see you held up on someone this night, coming to prom was a good decision, wasn’t it?
Me: Just shut up and get lost.

I said with a frustrated voice.

The prom room turned gloomier and gloomier. I wanted fresh air so I decided to go outside where it was a lot more silent and chilly. The perfect definition of PEACE. I started to step out but as a second thought, I decided to ask Siddharth cause he was the only person I had to spend the rest of the night with.
Me: I need some fresh air, would you company me?
Siddharth: Sure, infact all the noise inside is giving me migraine anyways.
It was peaceful outside. There’s a huge pond at the backside of our school building which falls under the school campus itself. Its generally not allowed to go there during school hours so I never really got to go near it. But today it was open. I went towards that direction followed by Siddharth.

“So, what is it that you feel which prevents you to mingle with boys? I mean we aren’t that bad ok!” Siddharth said trying to start a conversation to break the silence.
“Oh no no, it isn’t that way at all. Its just that I don’t know what I feel or what I think. Its not explanatory ok.” I spoke up defending myself.

“But you are talking to me.”

“You make me feel that I should talk to you.”

We both stared at the reflection of the moon in the pond water.
“You know what Siddharth, very few guys make me feel home, very few make me feel that I should talk to them. You are one of them I feel. Not really sure but it’s a feeling straight from gut.” I said without hesitating.
“I’m glad I made you feel that way. I was really sad but now I feel homely. It’s crazy how instantly we bonded.” he exclaimed with a relief.

Two sad and depressed souls bonded together that night and everything changed. Again I felt a vibration, but this time not because I had a call coming up, but because I felt good and warm in the chilly weather.
