Masked Love

Chapter 3

As the group gathered, Nitya couldn't help but share her newfound intrigue. "Guys, don't judge me, but I'm starting to get curious about that curly-haired guy. He's literally the only person I've seen Aman smile at and have an actual convo with."

Yuvika raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on her lips. "Ooooh, how about we stop being creepy-ass people and, you know, LET THEM LIVE? You definitely need to lay off Webtoon for fuck's sake."

Jenisha, with a mischievous glint in her eye, chimed in, "Nah, for once, unfortunately, I agree with Nitya. I also wanna know now.
"Detective Mode Activated."

Yuvika sighed in mock exasperation. "2 out of 4 gone insane, 3rd one addicted to Insta, looks like I'm the only sane one here."

Nitya couldn't contain her excitement, pointing towards Aman and the mysterious curly-haired guy. "Guys! Guys! Look how they're sitting so close!!!!!"

Jenisha, trying to steer the conversation back, suggested, "Umm... Anyway! Let's go through the attendance file to figure out Aman's guy's name?"

Aarushi, looking up from her phone with an amused expression, couldn't help but comment, "What the actual F is going on here."

Yuvika annoyed at the social media enthusiast, teased, "Bhai, please go back to Insta world."

Undeterred, Nitya persisted, "We're going to find out about Aman ke baju wala."

Aarushi, now focused, interjected, "Bro, that's literally Mehul."

Jenisha, raising an eyebrow skeptically, quipped, "Mhmm, sure, we totally believe you."

Aarushi defended herself, "Bro, I'm not kidding, I swear I know him. He lives in my society. Obviously I know him."

Yuvika couldn't resist a playful jab, "You know how to socialize? Damn didn't expect that from you :)"

Aarushi shot back, "Oh please. I'm great at socializing. Plus I see him almost every morning, going to class on his bike." The group erupted in laughter, the mystery of Aman's curly-haired companion momentarily overshadowed by their banter.
