Few years ago....

" Ishani, where is your home work?" Teacher is fuming on a notorious student.

" But, ma'am I have submitted yesterday itself. " Ishani said.

" Why would I lie. For God's sake, you have annual exams in a week and you didn't bother to submit HW, which adds 20 marks. This is unbearable, get out of my class." Teacher disdained.

Other students started murmuring. They are actually giggling, including her best friend Sia, which pierced Ishani's heart.

12 year old Prachi is noticing everything silently.

" How could you do this to me? I saw you sneaking into staff room yesterday, after everyone left. You returned to classroom with a book. " Ishani blamed Sia, as she found the HW book in her desk itself the evening.

" I have submitted my PS book, instead of Maths. That's why I have returned to exchange the book!" Sia said.

" Don't lie. You brought my HW book along, and placed it in my desk in-between other books. I saw you laughing at me, " Ishani yelled.

" I laughed instinctively. I'm sorry."

"Shut up! You traitor!" Ishani left.

"Oh no! Why are they fighting? I just wanted Ishani to learn a lesson." Prachi who actually hid Ishani's HW mumbled.

" I shouldn't have done this. I broke two best friends!" She felt guilty.

Others are happy as Ishani who brought a bad name to their class, creating never ending issues like bunking classes, forging attendance, hiding the duster, writing names of teachers on board and so on.

" I just wanted to avenge for how she made fun of my friend for having stage fear." Prachi is upset.

After a week they gave exams and Prachi moved to another town, along with her parents.

Present:

Ranbir played guitar, so that Prachi falls asleep without stressing brain.

Prachi woke up when saw a repetitive nightmare, where two friends are taunting each other. Their faces are unclear in the dream.

" They were not in talking terms in school. I don't know how are things between them." Prachi narrated to Ranbir.

" So what's in your mind?" Ranbir asked Prachi.

" I wish I could tell them the truth. I wish they became friends again." Prachi yelled.
