(Mukti's house)
--Mukti--
what?? Today?? Well, it's a good idea, I said.
Mukti, you should propose to my brother and be with him, Neitra said.
Should I propose ??? I asked.
why are you guys so slow, you both should start going out at this time, she replied.
Going out?? I thought and she interrupted my thoughts by saying Abhi is here.
what is he doing here? Mukti, go and stop him he should not know that I'm here bunking the school, she said.
how would I stop him, I said.
Go, she said hiding herself.
Yeah, I said and left abruptly.
You're here, I said. while shutting the door just before him.
What's wrong?? he asked.
What's wrong?? I repeated.
What are you hiding in there?? he asked.
What are you hiding in there?? I repeated.
why are you repeating me?? he asked.
why are you repeating me?? I said mocking him.
Are you crazy?? he said.
Are you crazy?? I copied.
Abhi is really smart but Mukti is so clumsy and stupid, he said after a pause.
Mukti is really smart but Abhi is so clumsy and stupid, I said.
Why didn't you repeat this, he said with a proud smile.
Why didn't you repeat this, I said copying him.
Fine, I won't say anything now, he said.
Fine, I won't say anything now, I copied.
Now stop it ok, he said angrily.
Now stop it ok, I repeated.
Fine, I'm leaving, he said and left frustrated.
it's so fun to irritate your brother, I said between my laugh.
Mukti, we have to make it hurry we don't have time, she said.
Yeah, right, let's do it, I said.

(at night)
Where is he?? Cabir asked.
I sent him outside for some errands, he will be here soon, I replied.
Can I come in, Abhi asked knocking on the door.
All the best, Aliya said and I asked him to come in.
"Happy birthday", we all shouted at once and he got surprised, shocked or maybe happy.
Thanks, everyone but how do you know, it's my birthday today, he asked.
I have my sources, I replied.
Sources?? he asked.
Yep, 10-year-old source, Manik replied.
Neitra is here, he asked.
Happy birthday Abhi, she shouted from her hiding point and he hugged her.
what are you both doing here?? he asked.
"I asked Manik to pick us up", she replied.
Happy birthday, brother, Ridhi wished him.
Thank you, sweety, he replied with a smile.
So I wasn't allowed in this room because you are preparing this surprise party, he asked.
no, not only the party but something else too, I replied.
something else? he asked.
I sighed a breath out, and asked, "Let's date" and he simply nodded.
is it yes?? I asked completely excited or nervous.
ok, he said in a low voice and I hugged him tightly like whatever happened I'm not letting him go.
Can we have a real party tonight?? Manik shouted.

--Abhi--
I'll leave only when you let my hand go, I said.
Oh yeah, give your best to the maths Competition and after you win we will go on a date, ok, she said.
what if I failed, I asked.
I know there is no one maths genius like you so you will win but if you failed then I can cheer you up at the house you know what I mean, she said winking at me.
mukti... I shouted and she laughed.
why are you so cute?? She said.
Mukti, girls are cute and boys are handsome, I said.
that's why I called you cute, she said.
I'm handsome, I said emphasising the word handsome.
yes you are, she replied pinching my cheek.
Mukti, let's go we have to practice cabir said dragging her with him.
Kabir, don't be jealous just because you're the one single now, she said.
I'm not being jealous btw and why I'm the only one Manik is also single, he said.
he won't be for a long time, she said and I laughed.

Nothing, let's go we have to practice she said while dragging him and you don't forget about our date, she said smiling.

--Mukti--
I was nervous as it was our first date and then he came. Gosh!! he is looking so hot!!!
Uhm, where d-do you think w-we should go, he shuttered.
ok, he is more nervous than me now I'm not nervous at all.
You're looking handsome, I said.
Yeah, thanks, Manik helped me with this and the gift as well, he replied.
don't you think you should also say how I'm looking, I said laughing.
Oh sorry!! you're looking fabulous, I mean you always look, he shuttered again and I laughed.
don't be so nervous, anyone can say it's your first date, I said dragging him with me and holding his hand.
The movie was fun right, I asked.
Yeah, it was, he replied.
We had fun on our first date movie, dinner and talking about ourselves.

Congratulations on winning the competition, Nandini said.
Hmm thanks, I replied.

Amazing, I replied smiling.
not only this but tell me more about it, she said.
just a min. ok, I have to go to the principal's office, I said.
ok, I'll come with you, she said.
(after some time)
"Isn't it obvious I said I want Fab 5 to lose this competition", the principal said on the phone.
just don't give them good scores, she said while laughing.
what?? are you eavesdropping?? She spotted me.
Uh no ma'am, I'm Abhi, you called me to come in, I said.
Oh, you, yeah you're the one who won the maths competition, congratulations you made our college feel proud, she said.

sorry, ma'am but I just heard, and it's not fair to cheat, Fab 5 worked really hard and they-
Shut up!!! She cut me off.
Really!! Now a scholarship student will teach me what's fair or unfair, she said.
I didn't mean that but ma'am-
"you had better shut your mouth or else I'll expel you from the college and you won't be able to take admission anywhere", she warned me.
sorry ma'am, I said.
