She quickly looks away. The team has now stopped practicing and are headed back to the dressing room. 'What's wrong with this guy?' she thinks. But she wonders why is she intimidated, she should definitely stare back. When she looks at him he looks away and stands up, Michael comes running out of the dressing room. Of all the time she has known Michael, she has never been this happy to see him. Michael buys her ice-cream on their way home, this is exactly what she doesn't like about Michael he is so much like her dad.

She goes upstairs after having a quick chat with her mom. She's about to go on the roof when glimpses from yesterday, flash in front of her eyes. She checks her phone to find a text from Harry, it's a picture of him and Akash, in Akash's room with caption "he needs serious help". She laughs and quickly packs her homework to go to Akash's place. She spots Ethan in front of his door, he had just got home. She doesn't stop and hurries toward Akash's home. She gets there only to find her two adult friends playing pillow fight. As soon as she enters the house, a pillow comes toward her just to hit her in the face, she ducks and the pillow finds its place outside the house. They stop and Akash tries to hug Bhargavi, but she realizes he hasn't bathed as he is wearing the same clothes he did yesterday. He quickly straightens,

Akash : can't I even get a hug?

Bhargavi : you could if you would've showered!!

Harry : see, I told you to get a shower before she comes.

Akash : but I'm sick!

Bhargavi : you are not sick, you just had a few scratches!!

Bhargavi goes silent. Harry and Akash could both tell she wasn't okay. To change the sub everybody returns to what they've been doing, Akash runs toward his room while Harry and Bhargavi take over the ground and start with their homework.

Akash comes into the living room only to surprise Bhargavi because she had almost forgotten that he was upstairs in his room taking a shower. As soon as he enters the room, a strong smell of some fruit based shower gel fills the room. The smell is so strong that its making them sick.

Harry : what is that smell?

He says gasping for fresh air.

Akash : it's the shower gel I used, its called fruit punch!

Harry : what kind of shower gel smells like this?

Akash : oh its........

Bhargavi stops both of them, she is dying of laughter. 'what could possibly interest my best friends?' she thinks.
