*REET*
I was there dancing and floating in my delusional world with the blurred face 6-feet tall handsome guy when suddenly I realised my alarm started ringing and now here I was awake all annoyed and messy to start a new day of this year, a fresh start to this session.

I gazed towards the clock with a last deadly glare and then entered the shower and rinsed myself. I threw my school uniform arranged my hair in a ponytail and went downstairs jumping and running until I realised I skipped a stair and landed hard on my chest.

"Frustrating start to the day!" I muttered to myself as I tried to shake off the annoyance of my clumsiness. It was definitely not the graceful beginning I had hoped for. 

I went to the kitchen to grab the milk carton and started pouring it into my bowl when I heard a click from my phone notification. I grabbed it from my other hand to witness Rudraksh's text.

"Hey beautiful, I was thinking about the after-party this weekend and I couldn't think of anyone better to have by my side. I'd love it if could be you to join me and make the evening even more special. Let me know if you're up for it! your Rudy;)" 

Ahhh cringe! If you ask about my social life, It's been a struggle to build meaningful connections, as most people seem to engage in superficial formalities. Shanaya was an exception, and her genuine friendship meant a lot. As now I have approached my final year of school, I've decided to stay single. It is not like I am single because nobody wants me.  I've received numerous proposals, but I'm not interested in fleeting romances. What I truly desire is a lifelong love with the right person, and I understand that it's a rare treasure in this world. 

And about the after party? My parents have extremely strict rules about what I can wear, and where I can go and here for sure, I know that they would never allow me to attend an extravagant afterparty at my school. My school is predominantly attended by students from affluent families, which is quite different from my own background. Coming from a typical middle-class brown family, my father has worked incredibly hard to ensure that I receive a quality education despite the financial struggles. And To be honest, I, myself, not interested in joining a party filled with guys and alcohol. 

As I was lost in thought while staring at the text, I suddenly realized that the milk had now spilt all over the floor. I couldn't help but feel exasperated at my absentmindedness, knowing that I would have to clean it up before my mother wakes up and decides to lecture me about the mess.

To be honest, I don't have a strong bond with my mother. She seems to only focus on my grades and habits. As the youngest daughter in our Indian family, I feel the pressure to uphold my father's honour and respect, much like my two older sisters. My father's presence is rare as he wakes up early and works late into the night. I dream of earning a scholarship and settling abroad, just like my sisters, to escape from this stressful and messy situation

well at this moment I need to clean this mess quickly so that I don't end up being late on the first day of school, especially the first day of the last year in my school.

*ATHARV*
"Who told you to eat 10 slices of pizza that too altogether? See you have wasted half of your time in vomiting only" I yelled with annoyance while continuously patting his back

"What are you speaking my honey? don't you remember what happened last night? Your cutie pookie dick just did the naughty deeds inside me and now when I am pregnant you are blaming all things on me?" he  said being dramatic

uff I can't endure him anymore, of course, I can't get late on the very first day in my school

"seriously Ariv for once in your life can you stop joking?" I said aggressively while grabbing my bag and hanging it over my shoulder
"Ahhh anyway we are already late. I don't give a damn about you now, I am going, You stay here and take medicines"
