of them find a quiet spot on campus to talk privately.

Saurav: (Seriously) Arav, why don't you just tell Summer about your feelings?

Subham: (Nodding) Yeah, Arav. Just tell him you like him. That way, you'll know how he feels too.

Arav: (Sighing) I want to, but what if he hates me after knowing my feelings? What if it breaks our friendship?

[Everyone falls silent, thinking deeply about the situation.]

Prachi: (Suddenly) Guys, I have an idea.

[Everyone looks at her expectantly]

Arav: What is it, Prachi?

Prachi: How about we find a partner for Arav too?

[Everyone looks at Prachi, puzzled but intrigued.]

Saurav: (Curious) How would that help?

Prachi: (Explaining) Look, if Arav feels jealous seeing Summer with Sriya, then Summer will feel it too if he likes Arav. And if he doesn't like Arav that way, then he'll just be happy for him. This way, we'll know Summer's true feelings.

[Everyone takes a moment to consider Prachi's idea.]

Subham: (Nodding) That's actually a good plan.

Saurav: (Amazed) Yeah, it could work. It's worth a try.

Arav: (Hopeful) You really think this will help us figure out how Summer feels about me?

Prachi: (Smiling) Yes, Arav. It's a subtle way to test the waters without directly confronting him.

Arav: (Nodding) Okay, let's do it. I'll go along with the plan.

Saurav: (Impressed) That's actually a good plan. But how do we find a partner for Arav?

[They all think for a moment. Then Subham and Saurav look at Prachi with a knowing smile.]

Subham: (Grinning) How about you, Prachi?

Prachi: (Surprised) Me?

Saurav: (Nodding) Yes, Prachi. If you and Arav act as a couple, we don't need to find anyone else. Plus, it's your idea, so you should be the one to apply it.

Prachi: (Taken aback) But... how will this work?

Subham: (Encouraging) Just pretend to be more than friends with Arav. Spend more time with him, act closer. If Summer has feelings for Arav, he'll definitely notice and react.

Prachi: (Thinking) Okay, I guess it makes sense. But Arav, are you okay with this?

[Arav, who has been listening quietly, nods slowly.]

Arav: (Hesitant but agreeing) If it helps us understand Summer's feelings, I'm willing to give it a try.

Prachi: (Smiling) Alright, then. Let's do this.

Saurav: (Excited) This is going to be interesting.

Subham: (Grinning) Definitely. Let's see how this plays out.

They all agree to the plan, ready to see how Summer reacts and hoping to uncover the truth about his feelings.
