While Arav, Summer, Saurav, Prachi, and Shubham are enjoying their time together at the Starlight Club. Sriya hasn't arrived yet. Summer and Arav head to the washroom. While they are gone, Sriya arrives with three friends.
Summer and Arav are heading to the washroom, while the rest of the group continues chatting at the table. Sriya arrives with her three friends and walks over to the table.
Sriya: (Smiling) Hey, guys!
Prachi: (Smiling back) Hey, Sriya! These must be your friends?
Sriya: (Nodding) Yeah, let me introduce you. This is Neha, Roshni, and shivani.
Neha, Roshni, and Shivani wave and smile. Prachi, Saurav, and Shubham greet them warmly.
Shubham: Nice to meet you all!
Saurav: Yeah, welcome!
Summer and Arav return from the washroom, noticing the new arrivals. Sriya immediately goes over to Summer, taking his hand.
Sriya: (Excitedly) Guys, this is Sammy!
Prachi watches Arav’s face closely, noting his reaction. Only Arav had ever called Summer "Sammy" before.
Summer: (A bit surprised) Hi, everyone.
Arav: (Trying to hide his discomfort) Hey.
Sriya: (Introducing her friends) Sammy, this is Neha, Roshni, and shivani. They’re in my friends from department.
Neha: (Smiling) Nice to meet you, Sammy.
Summer: (Smiling) Nice to meet you too.
Prachi: (Noticing Arav’s unease) So, how do you all know each other?
Shivani: (Grinning) We’re all in the same study group. Sriya’s been telling us about how cool you guys are.
Saurav: (Laughing) She must be exaggerating.
Riya: (Playfully) Not at all! You guys are great.
Prachi: (Subtly watching Arav) Well, we’re glad you could join us.
Arav: (Trying to stay composed) Yeah, welcome.
Sriya: (Still holding Summer’s hand) Sammy, want to get a drink with us?
Summer: (Glancing at Arav) Sure, sounds good.
[They all head to the bar, with Prachi staying close to Arav, sensing his discomfort. Arav forces a smile, trying to push aside his feelings as they join the others at the bar.]
Prachi: (Whispering to Arav) You okay?
Arav: (Sighing) Yeah, just... getting used to it.
Prachi: (Supportively) Anytime, Arav.
[They continue the night, trying to enjoy themselves despite the new dynamic introduced by Sriya.]
