[Arav, Prachi, Shubham, and Saurav are standing near the college gate, waiting for Summer.]
Shubham: (Checking his watch) Where is Summer? He’s taking forever.
Saurav: (Looking around) Probably with Sriya again.
Prachi: (Glancing at Arav) Yeah, they’ve been hanging out a lot lately.
Arav tries to hide his unease, but Prachi notices his changing expressions. Just then, Summer and Sriya walk towards the group, chatting and laughing.
Summer: (Smiling) Hey, guys! Sorry we’re late.
Sriya: (Waving) Hi, everyone!
Arav: (Forcing a smile) Hey, Summer. Hi, Sriya.
Prachi: (Observing Arav’s face) Hi, Sriya. How was your day?
Sriya: (Cheerfully) It was great! Busy, but fun.
Sriya says goodbye to Summer and the group, preparing to leave with her friends.
Sriya: (Smiling) Bye, Summer! Bye, everyone! See you tomorrow at the club!
Summer: (Waving) Bye, Sriya! See you tomorrow!
Arav watches them, his face reflecting a mix of emotions. Prachi notices his reaction closely.
Sriya waves goodbye and leaves with her friends. Shubham and Saurav say their goodbyes and walk towards their hostel.
Shubham: (Waving) Catch you guys later!
Saurav: (Nodding) Yeah, see you tomorrow!
Prachi and Arav are left alone. Prachi looks at Arav with concern.
Prachi: (Softly) Arav, please think about what I said to you earlier.
Arav: (Nodding) I will, Prachi. Thanks.
Prachi: (Smiling) Alright. Bye, Arav.
Prachi walks away to her hosty, leaving Arav standing there. Summer approaches, having not heard the earlier conversation.
Summer: (Curiously) What was Prachi talking to you about?
Arav: (Quickly) Oh, nothing important. Just some random stuff. How was your day?
Summer: (Smiling) It was good! Had a lot of fun with Sriya. She’s really fitting in well with our group.
Arav: (Trying to sound enthusiastic) That’s great. She seems nice.
Summer: (Excitedly) Yeah, she is. Anyway, should we head home?
Arav: (Nodding) Sure, let’s go.
They start walking home, with Summer chatting about his day while Arav listens, his mind still preoccupied with Prachi’s words.
