Khushi's pov-:
I am giving a school tour to Agastya. We entered a classroom.
Khushi- Most of our science classes are held here.
Agastya- You like science?
Khushi- I do.
Agastya- Shall we?
Khushi- Yes! Let's continue....

Khushi- The cafeteria. Not much else to say...
Agastya- How long have you been at this school?
Khushi- Oh um... not long actually im new myself. Is it that obvious?
Agastya- No, that's not what I was implying! I was just curious.
Khushi- Oh okay.
Agastya- Where's the theatre class?
Khushi- Theatre class? Why?
Agastya- I just wanted to take a look at the stage.
Khushi- Oh sure, follow me.

At theatre class-:
Khushi- And we've arrived. You like theatre?
Agastya- I do. But maybe not as much as you.
Khushi- W-what?
Agastya- Atleast back then you used to love it.
Khushi- How...do you-
Agastya- Do you really think I forgot about you, Khushi? Have you forgotten me?
Khushi- No! Of course not.
Agastya- I'm glad to hear that.
Khushi-But why did you pretend not to know me?
Agastya- I was just having a little fun.
Khushi- Oh.
Agastya- My mom told me you'd recently transferred here. You're the reason I'm here Khushi. I had to see you again.
Khushi- Why...?
Agastya- Do I really have to explain that?

Agastya said looking slightly embarrassed while he held his eyes to the ground.
Khushi- I had no idea you would even remember me Agastya. Let alone go to the same school as me... because of me.
Agastya- A lot has changed since back then. We're not kids any longer. We're older now and you got even more beautiful. Khushi I-

Suddenly the lights of the room were switched on and Sidharth and his friends entered the theatre.
Sidharth- We need this room.
Khushi- Why?
Sidharth- It's raining and we need to hold a team meeting.
Agastya- In the theatre class?
Sidharth- Got a problem with that, new kid?
Khushi- Be nice Sidharth.
Sidharth- This is the nicest I can be Khushi.

He winked at me and went away.
Agastya- He didn't change at all....

At home-:
I was eating dinner with my mom .
Khushi-We have a new student.
Mom- That's great, isn't it? Now you're not the only one new.
Khushi- Why aren't you asking me who it is?
Mom- Oh... I just figured it was probably a very nice young boy.
Khushi- Mom 😀.
Mom- Agastya's mom called me.
Khushi- What?!
Mom- Agastya had asked her about you. Isn't that cute? You had such a big crush on him back then.
Khushi- What are you talking about?
Mom- What? Was that supposed to be a secret? Then maybe you should have done a better job hiding it babe.
She started laughing playfully.
Khushi- D-Did you know about Sidharth as well?
Mom- That he's at your school? I was told right after we came here.
Khushi- Why didn't you tell me!
Mom- I didn't know it was that big of a deal. You and Sidharth had never been that close right?
Khushi- Right...

I had never told mom about Sidharth's games with me. I had kept it all to myself.
Mom- How's the boy doing?
Khushi- I don't know...
Mom- I hope his circumstances have gotten better.
Khushi- What do you mean?
Mom- You know with his parents and all that.
Khushi- What's with his parents?
Mom- Me and the other parents used to talk a lot about Sidharth and his parents. They always forgot to pick him up from kindergarten. And his dad always made a big fuss whenever he came. He was...a lot to handle that man. And then something so unfortunate happened too... Sidharth really didn't have it easy. Especially at such a young age.
Khushi- What unfortunate thing happened?

Mom got a call.
Mom - Sorry babe i have to take this call!

Mom took the call . Did Sidharth really have it that bad back then? I had never thought about his upbringings. Geez i was just a kid. He was just a kid. Damnit I can't believe i feel bad for him now! Don't forget how he treated you!

At bed-:
I couldn't believe Agastya was back in school with me. The AGASTYA. My cr- He was just a childhood crush nothing more. Still... . He reminded me so much of the past young Agastya that I used to love. Kind and sweet Agastya.

I fell asleep but was waken up by a text notification. Huh? A text so late at night?

On chat-:
Sidharth- What are you doing?
Carter!?
Khushi- Sleeping,idiot.
Sidharth- I can't sleep.
Khushi- Nobody asked.
Sidharth- Why so mean Khushu?
Khushi- Why so sensitive S?
Sidharth- Must be your influence.
Khushi- You're getting influenced by me? Cute.
Sidharth- You think I'm cute?
Khushi- I never said that, idiot.
Sidharth- I think you did. What else do you think about me?
Khushi- Just wondering how you became such an idiot.
Sidharth- You tell me. You witnessed it. Btw I'm not wearing a shirt right now.
Khushi- I could have lived without that information.
Sidharth- What are you wearing?
Khushi- A shirt.
Sidharth- Damnit.
Khushi- Maybe I'll take it off , who knows?
Sidharth- You're playing a dangerous game Khushi.
Khushi- I broke into a school. That's right up my ally then, don't you think?
Sidharth- Open your window.
Khushi - Why?!

Sidharth was at my window looking at me intensely...
