Masked Love

Chapter 11

"Physics, seriously, why are you the puzzle I never signed up to solve?" Arushi lamented, shaking her head dramatically.

Switching gears from physics complexities, they jumped into movie ratings, teasing Leonardo DiCaprio's eternal chase for that elusive Oscar. "Leo's still on that Oscar hunt like it owes him cash," someone joked, sparking chuckles among the friends.

"Did you hear? Leo's apparently got a soft spot for the 25-year-old club," another added with a conspiratorial grin, causing mock shock and laughter among the group.

"Speaking of dating, Taylor Swift's love life could write a multi-volume pop album!" a friend chimed in, leading to giggles and playful Taylor Swift song references.

The banter quickly shifted to music, and the swooning unanimously converged on One Direction. "One Direction is the holy grail of boy bands! Absolute legends!" someone declared with mock reverence, triggering nostalgic nods and "remember when" anecdotes.

Transitioning to the topic of singers, Arushi mentioned the need for an affordable vocalist for their upcoming society event. Yuvika reminisced about the Instagram mystery guitarist, dubbing them the "modern-day Phantom of the Opera," causing chuckles and nods of agreement.

"Seriously, that guitarist is like the masked musical wizard from Hogwarts—unknown but magical," one quipped, sending the group into a fit of laughter.

Nitya, always curious about music, subtly hinted for the mysterious guitarist's Insta handle. Yuvika, in jest, complimented the guitarist's "charming veins," prompting Jenisha's playful retort, "Veins are hotter than a gossip column!"

"Jeni, still stuck in geometry land, huh?" Arushi teased with a smirk.

Mehul, intrigued by the mention of geometry, humorously interrupted, "Geometry? What's up with geometry?" This prompted the girls to shift the conversation to Arushi's physics struggles, leading Mehul to grandly offer his tutoring services as a charitable act.

"Fear not, for I, Mehul, shall bestow upon thee the gift of physics wisdom! Consider it a charitable deed; I'm practically a physics philanthropist!" Mehul declared with mock heroism, earning laughs.

"Ah, the great Mehul, the philanthropist of physics tutoring!" Arushi chuckled in response.

"Who knew I was the Mother Teresa of physics tutoring?" Mehul joked with a wink, prompting more laughter.

Mehul smoothly transitioned, discussing his mom's need for committed members for their society function, humorously recalling Arushi's past lift request. "Remember that legendary lift to class?" he nudged playfully.

Arushi grinned, recognizing the mischievous glint in Mehul's eyes. "The infamous lift! What favor do you need this time, oh bearer of past favors?"

Mehul's grin widened. "Today, you're my official society event wingman. Wanna save the day with me?"

Arushi, embracing the camaraderie, nodded with a playful nod. "Consider it done! Let's dive into this social event abyss together. Partners-in-crime it is!"
