After some time....
In the cafeteria..

In the cafeteria, the group gathered around a table, their laughter and chatter filling the air.

Ritika: So, spill the beans, Kashish! Where were you last night?

Kashish, still blushing from the teasing in the hostel room, tried to deflect the attention.

Kashish: Oh, you know, just taking a walk around campus. Clearing my head and all that.

Shreya: teasingly Clearing your head or clearing your heart with a certain someone?

Kashish playfully nudged Shreya, trying to change the subject.

Kashish: Come on, let's talk about something else. How was everyone's night?

Abhishek, sensing Kashish's discomfort, jumped in to rescue her from further interrogation.

Abhishek: Yeah, let's not grill Kashish too much. We all had a good time last night, right?

Harshit: Speaking of good times, Abhishek, how was your night? Or should we say, how was your stargazing session?

The boys erupted into laughter, prompting Abhishek to play along.

Abhishek: Oh, you know, just enjoying the beauty of the night sky. Nothing too exciting.

Tanmay: teasingly Yeah, nothing exciting except for the fact that you conveniently forgot to come back to the hostel till morning!

Abhishek: "Seriously, guys, it's getting too much. Why don't you ask the other couple why are you  bothering us?"

Kashish: "Yeah, Ritika, spill the beans. What's going on?"

Ritika: "I'm not hiding anything, I promise."

Abhishek: "Rishab, come on, spill the beans. You were just talking about it so much, what happened now?"

Shreya: "Can someone please explain what's happening? Who are the new couple?"

Kashish looks at Ritika expectantly.

Ritika: "Well, um, actually... Rishab and I are dating."

Everyone is taken aback by the revelation.

Harshit: "Since when? And Rishab, you didn't even tell your brother? I'm disappointed in you."

Ritika: "It started after we came back from Masoorie."

Tanmay: "So, you've been dating for two weeks and didn't tell us? We're disappointed."

Abhishek: "Wow, secrets are just pouring out today! First, Ritika and Rishab, and now... who's next? Shreya, are you hiding a boyfriend too?"

Shreya blushes and playfully nudges Abhishek.

Shreya: "No, no, nothing like that! Let's focus on these two lovebirds first."
