Summer drags Arav into an empty classroom and slams the door shut. Arav, confused and concerned, watches as Summer paces back and forth, visibly agitated.]
Arav: (Confused) Sammy, what are you doing? Why did you drag me here?
Summer: (Fuming) Why didn't you stop Prachi? If I hadn't stepped in, she would have kissed you!
Arav: (In disbelief) Sammy, why are you reacting like this? It was just a game
Summer: (Frustrated) A game? So you think it's fine to kiss anyone just because it's a game? Don't you have any self-respect?
Arav: (Angry) You're crossing the line, Summer! Why are you getting so worked up over this?
[Summer suddenly stops pacing, his eyes locking onto Arav's. He steps closer, his voice low but intense.]
Summer: (Desperate) Because I love you, you idiot.
Without warning, Summer grabs Arav's face and kisses him passionately. Arav stands frozen, overwhelmed with disbelief and confusion. After a few intense moments, Summer pulls back, his hands still cradling Arav's face. He looks deeply into Arav's eyes, his expression raw and vulnerable.]
Summer: (Breathless) I'm reacting like this because I love you. I love you, Arav. I love you so much that I can't stand the thought of you being with anyone else.
Summer confesses his love, looking deeply into Arav's eyes. Arav stands there, emotions flooding his face—shock, disbelief, and joy all mingling together. He can't believe what he's hearing, that his best friend, the person he secretly loves, has just confessed to loving him.
Arav: (Softly) You...you love me?
Summer: (Voice shaking) I love you, Arav.
Arav's eyes well up with tears, a huge smile breaking out on his face. He struggles to process the overwhelming emotions coursing through him. His heart races, feeling like it's going to burst out of his chest.
Arav: (Voice choked with emotion) I...I can't believe this... You...you really love me?
Summer: (Nervous, sincere) Yes, Arav. I know it's a lot to take in, and maybe it's confusing, but please believe me. I love you, and I can't imagine my life without you. And...if you don't feel the same, or if this changes things between us... I just can't lose you, Arav.
[Before Summer can finish his sentence, Arav, overcome with emotion, grabs Summer's face and pulls him into a deep kiss. Summer is taken aback for a moment, then melts into the kiss, wrapping his arms around Arav. The kiss is intense, filled with all the unspoken feelings and suppressed emotions they've both been harboring. After what feels like an eternity, they slowly pull apart, both breathing heavily, their faces flushed.]
Summer: (Smiling shyly) Wow, that was...unexpected.
Arav: (Laughing softly, wiping a tear) Unexpected? You just confessed your love to me, and you think that was unexpected?
Summer: (Grinning) Okay, fair point. But...does this mean you feel the same?
Arav: (Nods, eyes shining) Yeah, Sammy, it does. I've...I've loved you for a long time. I just never thought you'd feel the same way.
They stand there for a moment, basking in the newfound understanding and the joy of their mutual confession. The air feels lighter, the world outside the classroom forgotten as they share this intimate moment.]
Summer: (Softly) I guess we're both pretty good at hiding our feelings, huh?
Arav: (Laughs) Yeah, but no more hiding, okay?
Summer: (Smiling) No more hiding.
They both smile, shyly and warmly, their faces still close, their hands intertwined. The weight of unspoken words and hidden feelings lifts, replaced by a profound sense of relief and happiness. They embrace again, holding each other tightly, knowing that they've just crossed a threshold that changes everything, but in the best possible way.
