They start walking towards the soda shop when she realises that she didn't even ask the stranger his name. DUMB!!

The next morning, while she is planning her first day of school with Akash who is wandering around her study table. She tries to ignore him and concentrate on her senior year ahead. It is only when he starts judging her about everything in her room she decides to go up the roof. Akash restrains but again he can't do anything as the third floor is beyond his reach. He leaves her alone and heads to Meera's room. As the time passes, she wonders how many hours she has spent on the roof. That's when it hits her she feels like someone is watching and it is not the kind where someone is casually eyeing her, she could feel the intensity of the stare. As a twin, she was subject to stares but this was completely different. It was worrisome, strange theories came into her mind until her eyes locked with him. She recognized him on the first look, but just didn't want to show that she knew him. Their eyes locked for a long time, she couldn't think of looking away, until someone called out for her, it was Meera. She was kinda mad at her. She quickly went downstairs, as she approached her on the driveway Meera kept glaring at her from the passenger seat. Michael was at the wheel, Akash at the backseat looked at her with a expression that said, 'what took you so long?' she wasn't up for any kind of questions so she quickly got into the car. As they drove away she looked at his window, he was gone.

She wondered if he was his permanent neighbour, she could use a friend despite of Akash and Harry. At the diner, Meera had sobered her glare but it was still giving Bhargavi chills. As soon as, Akash and Michael left to get the food silence broke,

Meera : what were you thinking??

Bhargavi : what are you talking about?

Meera : you know what I'm talking about, I saw you on the roof Bhargavi. Listen roof will not be a problem if you like it so much but what in the world were you staring at??

Bhargavi : Absolutely no one.

Meera : wow you really cannot lie

Bhargavi : mind your own business.

Meera : I will, after I find out

Bhargavi became tense at this point, there was nothing that she could ever keep from meera.

Just then Akash and Michael return with the food and they change the subject. As they both began talking about their practice sessions and school stuff, the girls were thinking about the same person.
