Prachi, still reeling from what she heard, walks towards her class. She spots Sriya outside the library with a boy named Rahul, who she recognizes. Sriya is facing Rahul, standing very close with her hand around his neck. Prachi stops and watches, trying to decide what to do.

Prachi: (Thinking) What's she doing now? And with Rahul of all people...

[Sriya laughs at something Rahul says, oblivious to Prachi's presence.]

Prachi: (Muttering to herself) I have to stop her.

[She takes a deep breath and approaches them, her heart pounding.]

Prachi: (Firmly) Sriya, what are you doing?

[Sriya turns around, surprised to see Prachi standing there.]

Sriya: (Feigning innocence) Oh, hey Prachi! Just talking to Rahul. Why?

Prachi: (Eyes narrowing ) Talking? It looks like more than just talking to me.

Rahul: (Confused) What's going on, Prachi?

Prachi: (Ignoring Rahul for the moment) Sriya, I need to talk to you. Alone.

Sriya: (Sighing) Fine. Rahul, I'll catch up with you later, okay?

[Rahul nods and walks away, looking back a couple of times, clearly puzzled.]

Sriya: (Turning back to Prachi) What's your problem, Prachi?

Prachi: (Angry) My problem? I overheard you in the bathroom. I know you only proposed to Summer because of a bet.

Sriya: (Rolling her eyes) So what? It's none of your business.

Prachi: (Furious) It is my business when you're playing with my friend's feelings. Summer deserves better than this.

Sriya: (Smirking) And what are you going to do about it?

Prachi: (Determined) I'm going to make sure Summer knows the truth about you. He deserves to know who you really are.

Sriya: (Laughing) Go ahead. But do you really think he'll believe you over me?

Prachi: (Steely) We'll see about that.

[Prachi walks away from the library, muttering to herself in anger.]

Sriya: (Muttering) This isn't over, Prachi. You'll pay for this.

[She takes out her phone and dials a number. After a few rings, a boy answers.]

Boy: (Cheerfully) Hey Sriya! What's up?

Sriya: (Angrily) I need you to do something for me.

Boy: (Eagerly) Yeah, sure Sriya. You know I can do anything for you.

Sriya: (Grimly) Good. I want you to make Prachi regret ever crossing me.

Boy: (Curious) What exactly do you want me to do? And who is prachi ?

Sriya: (Firmly) I'll text you the details. Just make sure she knows not to mess with me again.

Boy: (Confidently) Consider it done. Anything for you, Sriya.

[Sriya disconnects the call and puts her phone away, a determined look on her face.]

Sriya: (To herself) You have no idea who you're dealing with, Prachi. You'll pay for this.

[She walks off, already planning her next move.]

While Prachi is sitting in the canteen, deep in thought after her unsettling conversation with Sriya. Arav approaches her, noticing her troubled expression.

Arav: (Gently) Prachi, you look really upset. What's going on?

Prachi: (Sighs) Arav, it's Sriya. I overheard her talking to her friends in the bathroom. She admitted that she proposed to Summer because of a bet.

Arav: (Shocked) What? Are you serious?

Prachi: (Nodding) Yes. She doesn't love Summer at all. It's just a game to her.

Arav: (Disbelieving) I can't believe this. Sriya seems so genuine.

Prachi: (Firmly) I know. But she's not. And Arav, you don't need to stop your feelings for Summer because of a girl like Sriya. She doesn't deserve him.

Arav: (Hesitant) I've been trying to push my feelings aside. I thought it would be better for everyone.

Prachi: (Encouraging) Arav, Summer needs to know the truth about Sriya. And you need to be honest about your feelings too. We'll help you realize how summer feel about you, but first, we need to expose Sriya.

Arav: (Determined) You're right. We can't let Sriya keep playing games with Summer's heart. How do we show everyone the truth?

Prachi: (Thinking) We need proof. Something undeniable. Maybe we can catch her in the act .

Arav: (Agreeing) Yes, we need something concrete. We'll have to be careful and strategic about this.

Prachi: (Smiling) We'll figure it out together. And Arav, don't hold back your feelings. Summer deserves to know how you feel.

Arav: (Grateful) Thank you, Prachi. I appreciate your support. Let's make sure Summer sees Sriya for who she really is.
