Result day...

Kashish's POV:

It's been one week since the exams ended, and today is the result day. I can feel the tension in the air as students anxiously await their grades. Everyone seems nervous, and I can't help but feel a flutter of anticipation in my own stomach.

As we make our way through the corridors, I notice the varying reactions of my classmates. Some are visibly tense, biting their nails or pacing back and forth. Others try to maintain a calm facade, but I can see the worry in their eyes.

Ritika: "I'm so nervous, I don't know how I did on the exams!"
Rishab: "Don't worry, Ritika, you probably aced it like always!"
Abhishek: "I hope so, man. I really need to pass this time."
Shreya: "I'm too scared to even look at my results. What if I failed?"
Harshit: "Stop worrying, Shreya. We studied together; you'll be fine."

As we approach the bulletin board where the exam results are posted, the tension in the air becomes palpable. Everyone crowds around, eager to see how they performed.

Kashish: takes a deep breath "Here we go. May the results be in our favor."
Abhishek: "Whatever happens, we'll face it together, Kashish."

With bated breath, we scan the board, searching for our names and our grades. The moment of truth has arrived.

Author's pov:

Kashish's heart pounds as she scans the list of names on the bulletin board. Her eyes widen in disbelief as she spots her name at the top of the list, accompanied by an impressive score.

Kashish: "Oh my God..."
Abhishek: "What is it? Did you find your name?"
Kashish: turns to Abhishek with tears of joy in her eyes "I... I topped the college!"
Abhishek: beaming "That's amazing, Kashish! I knew you could do it!"

Ritika, Rishab, Shreya, Harshit, and the others gather around, eager to share in Kashish's moment of triumph.

Ritika: "No way! You're the topper?"
Kashish: nodding, still in disbelief "Yes, I can't believe it myself."
Rishab: "Congratulations, Kashish! That's incredible!"
Shreya: "Wow, I knew you were smart, but this is something else!"
Harshit: "You're going to make us all proud, Kashish."

As Kashish celebrates her achievement, her eyes catch Abhishek's name on the list, but his expression is not one of joy. She rushes over to him, her heart sinking at the sight of his disappointment.

Kashish: placing a comforting hand on Abhishek's shoulder "Hey, what's wrong? You passed, right?"
Abhishek: sighing "Yeah, but just by two marks. I was hoping for better."
Kashish: pulling him into a tight hug "Two marks or twenty, I'm still proud of you. You worked so hard for this."
Abhishek: returning the hug, his spirits lifting at Kashish's words "Thanks, Kashish. I guess I just wanted to do better for us."
Kashish: "We'll make it next time, together. And besides, passing is still an achievement. Let's focus on the positives."
Abhishek: smiling gratefully "You're right. Thank you for always being there for me, Kashish."

As Abhishek's spirits lift with Kashish's comforting words, he gazes into her eyes, overwhelmed by gratitude and love.

Abhishek: softly "You always know how to make everything better, Kashish. Thank you for being my rock."
Kashish: smiling tenderly "It's what I'm here for, Abhishek. To support you, no matter what."
Abhishek: captivated by her warmth "You're incredible, you know that? Not just for comforting me now, but for everything you do, every day."
Kashish: blushing "Stop it, Abhishek. You're making me blush."
Abhishek: reaching for her hand "I mean every word, Kashish. You're my inspiration, my muse. Without you, I don't know where I'd be."
Kashish: squeezing his hand affectionately "And you're mine, Abhishek. Your unwavering support, your love-it gives me the strength to keep going, to pursue my dreams."
Abhishek: leaning closer, his voice barely a whisper "Together, Kashish. We'll conquer the world together, one hurdle at a time."
Kashish: smiling softly "Together, always."

As their friends witness the tender exchange between Kashish and Abhishek, they erupt into playful cheers and applause.

Ritika: "Aww, you two are just too cute!"
Rishab: "Yeah, Abhishek, you're a lucky guy to have Kashish by your side."
Harshit: "And Kashish, you're lucky too, to have such a supportive boyfriend!"
Shreya: "Seriously, you guys are relationship goals!"
Tanmay: "I second that! But seriously, congratulations on topping the college, Kashish!"
Divya: "Yeah, well done! And Abhishek, passing is still an achievement! Don't be too hard on yourself."
Abhishek: grateful "Thanks, guys. And Kashish, you're my inspiration."
Kashish: blushing "You're too sweet, Abhishek."
Ritika: "Okay, enough with the mushy stuff! Let's go celebrate! Ice cream on me!"
The group laughs and heads off together.
