CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR.
KODAIKANAL.

Dariyah woke up to the smell of fresh coffee filling up her nostrils. She hummed in content andhr sat up with her eyes still closed. When she opened her eyes she met eyes with an amused Sneha.

"I honestly don't get your addiction to coffee." Sneha shook her head with a smile. Dariyah gladly accepted the cup of coffee and took a sip.

"You would, if you atleast give it a try. It's not my fault you prefer tea over coffee." Dariyah raised her brow.

Sneha scoffed loudly in offense, "Hey, I could say the same thing! You haven't tried tea either! You're one to talk!"

"I did try! But I still don't see the hype." Dariyah placed her empty cup on the table beside her, turning her head only to be smashed by a pillow. Sneha tried to hold in her laughter, "Oops."

"You're dead!" And with that the two girls got into a pillow fight before being interrupted by Lavina and Rishi with the door that was connected to their room. Lavina and Rishi looked at each other before shrugging their shoulders and then joined Dariyah and Sneha as well.

After few minutes of pillow fighting, the girls decided to get ready for their first day to roam around.

Dariyah wore a loose sky blue sweater with black flared jeans and gave it a complete look by wearing her favourite black boots. She let her hair down in natural waves and wore light makeup as usual.

The girls headed out of the room towards the dining room for breakfast where the boys were already waiting for them.

Dariyah met eyes with Charles as soon as she walked in, her lips parted as she noticed both were wearing matching outfits. Charles had the same reaction as her, but his looked rather... forceful?

"Ladies! Glad you've finally decided to join us!" Lando sarcastically commented, rolling his eyes which earned him a slight pinch from Rishi. He winced, glaring at her Rishi responding by sticking out her tongue.

"Why haven't you guys started already?" Sneha asked, finding them sitting in the huge table without food.

"We were waiting for you guys." Max offered a smile to Sneha who responded him with the same action.

"Wow, you guys are really whipped." Lavina muttered under her breath, watching her bestfriends interact with the guys.

"You're telling me." Carlos commented watching the scene unfolding infront of him. The two were so engrossed in watching their friends' subtle flirt attempts that they forgot the fact they were supposed to be hating each other.

The two realised the situation at the same time, clearing their throats and giving each other glares before walking in different directions. Carlos then turning around to go to the same direction as hers since the food he'd be eating was there as well.

"What're you going to have, Brownies?" Charles picked up the plates passing one to her.

"I don't know. I feel like I'll be going with the cereal today. I don't feel like having Indian breakfast today." Dariyah shrugged her shoulders.

"Cereal it is then." Charles muttered under his breath.

"Sorry?" Dariyah turned her head to look at Charles not having heard what he said.
