Tell me one word which makes school students feel instant happiness... no the word isn't holidays... I mean that could be the right answer but think about something different... something that comes around once a year, something that involves traveling.... Ah... you guessed it right... 'Picnic.' I remember being excited for the picnics in our school and I used to be so excited that I wasn't able to sleep properly. There was a section of kids who used to stay home and enjoy the holiday. But most of the students were always a part of the picnic. I mean it comes around once in the whole year... and missing it just seems like a bad decision.
Moving on from my childhood experience to this story between our cuties: Aarav, and Ankita. I want to tell you all... that it's going to be a picnic date episode! Yeeeeeeeessssss... am I the only one who's excited here? Well... Never mind let's start the episode.
31st October 2015
The exams are over and it's time to reward the students by announcing... a picnic! The picnic announcement is made during recess and all the students seem so pumped up to visit an amusement park this time.
"Aarav? You will be coming to the picnic naa?" says Ankita as they both head home.
"Of course! I mean this will be our first official date," he says with a big smile.
"Our First Date... (blushes)... sounds good to me."
Shreya interrupts the conversation and says "It's better that you keep your profile low. The whole school is going to be there, the students, teachers, principal, peons, even our watchman is going to be there!"
"Watchman... (Laughs)... so what are you trying to say... that the Watchman will catch us flirting with each other rather than enjoying his day on the rides or resting on his holiday." says Aarav.
"What I meant... was that you two should be careful... you don't want any rumors circulating that you two did something behind everyone's back during our picnic and Ankita is now pregnant with your child," she replies.
"Wait... what the —" Ankita furiously replies.
"Hey... watch your mouth, Anku!" he says.
"Aree, I was saying what the... what the thing are you talking about... yes... that's what I was saying." Ankita fumbles as she speaks.
"That doesn't even sound grammatically correct," Shreya replies.
"So, you want to say that there will be eyes on us as everyone won't be enjoying their time there but they will be looking for us getting all lovey-dovey during our picnic. And then, we both will be caught getting all cutesy, and then there will be rumors that I kissed her on the picnic... that I did something to her during the picnic and she's pregnant now... that I brought a co—" he says.
"Aarav... c'mon yaar... (blushes)... we're just teenagers. It's not right that we do that and we haven't even... you know... kissed yet." Ankita says as her face starts turning red hot.
"I was going to say that I brought... a Coke bottle and we drank from the same bottle... I understand that would be like we touched each other's lips... indirectly... but why are you blushing like I said something else?"
"Oh... that's what you meant... (sighs) I shouldn't think ahead of myself," Ankita says with no enthusiasm.
"Guys... stop behaving like a couple... at least for tomorrow. Just for tomorrow... after the picnic is over... do whatever you want to do... I mean just not in the school premises and on our school trip." Shreya explains.
"Fine... we will watch out for other people near us... and anyway you will be there to save us, right?" she says.
"So... you wanna say that I shouldn't enjoy my free time reading a book near the amusement park rides where they have a beautiful garden with cute wooden benches and some shades with a scenic view, clear air, awesome atmosphere and feels like a mind-space heaven but instead I should be a third wheel to you guys and keep my eye on you and other people so that I can hide the fact that you two are dating each other freely and flirting, showing PDA on your first official date which is our picnic," Shreya says that in one go.
"Damn! That sounded like a monologue from pyaar ka punch—" he looks amazed.
"Can we just concentrate here guys!" Shreya says back.
"Fine baba... I understand... we will be keeping our profile low and nothing will happen, okay?" says Ankita.
The Next Day,
We see all the students gathering near the school premises for the roll call. Everyone will be on a different bus according to their standard class and divisions. It means our leads will be traveling in different buses during the trip. Shreya and Ankita are on the same bus, while Aarav will be traveling with his class.
