Just another regular day in the dance class and Rishi was already at it, close to getting slapped by his friend.
"So you are just fucking around like a bunch of horny ass-"
"Yeah, so what?" Chandni snapped, getting tired of explaining how feelings worked between them.
Not that Rishi had no idea but he still loved provoking her.
"Can I join you in a threesome?" Rishi leaned a little towards her, and his mother immediately caught his actions with her eagle eyes.
"Rishi! Proper aramandi!" She hollered, sending a sharp strike of the thattukali before resuming to normal beats.
"Die bitch." Chandni snickered, her lips twitching further when she saw Aisha shaking in silent laughter.
The adavu came to an end and everyone stood straight from their aramandi.
Except for Neha who swayed a bit on her feet right in front of Rishi making him grab her arm impulsively.
"Yo," He dragged, "You sure you're alright? You've been...sort of dead...?"
"Way to make me feel dead for sure." Neha rolled her eyes, although it seemed like it took her entire energy to do so, what with her eyes almost getting stuck to the back of her head.
"I didn't mean to demean you or someth-" Rishi barely finished before his mother, Rukmini ma, instructed few stretches as an ice breaker for the kids.
He huffed and stood straight, bending forward to touch the floor, then straightened before a backward bend just like everyone else.
One moment, he was halfway through a backbend, and the next, he was twisting himself to catch Neha who seemed to have lost her balance during the backbend.
But her eyes were closed.
"Neha. Neha!" He kept jerking her as everyone surrounded her.
"Move away. Give her space." Rukmini commanded as she watched her son panic as he checked her pulse when she didn't respond to his jerks or calls.
"It's slow." Rishi declared while Chandni got off her phone.
"Her parents are on their way. They told us to take her to the hospital nearby." Chandni spoke and Aisha was already making her way down to start her car.
