Kabir's Perspective

The morning was a chaotic blend of rescheduled classes and the merging of sections. Commerce and non-medical students were now thrown together, and the energy in the hallway was electric. As I walked towards our new classroom, Anaya's unmistakable voice pierced through the noise.

"Didi! If you find a jiju for me, you have to tell me first!" Anaya's voice was filled with innocent excitement, and I could see Aditi's cheeks flush crimson from where I stood. Her attempt to laugh off the situation was met with a sea of curious stares from her classmates.

As I entered the classroom, I saw the scene unfolding—Aditi was trying to manage the sudden attention with a mix of embarrassment and irritation. Her classmates were buzzing around her, clearly enjoying the unexpected drama.

Raghav, who had already settled into his seat, noticed me and grinned widely. He leaned over and nudged me with his elbow, a playful sparkle in his eyes. "Seems like Anaya's made a big splash this morning. Didn't know you were in the running for 'Best Jiju'!"

I rolled my eyes but couldn't hide my smile. "Yeah, well, Anaya's enthusiasm is something else. It's like she's trying to set up a matchmaking service at school."

Raghav chuckled. "I heard her all the way from the other end of the hall. She's got some serious volume for a little sister."

I glanced back at Aditi, who was visibly relieved to have the focus shifted away from her. The classroom was slowly calming down as students settled into their new seating arrangements.

I moved to sit next to Aditi, placing my bag beside her desk. She looked up at me with a mixture of gratitude and relief.

"Hey, Aditi," I said, trying to ease the lingering tension. "So, when are you planning to find Anaya a jiju? She seems pretty determined to have one."

Aditi's eyes widened, and she let out a small, nervous laugh. "Seriously, Kabir? Can we not do this now? Anaya's just being playful, and I'm not in any mood to discuss this."

Jai, who had taken his place beside Raghav, leaned in with his usual smirk. "Wow, Aditi, didn't know you were so sensitive about it. It's just a bit of fun."

I shot Jai a look that was a mix of annoyance and warning, but he only seemed to relish the discomfort he was causing.

-Skip Time to end of School-

The classroom buzzed with the usual chatter as the teacher left for the day. I was just about to pack up my stuff when Jai swaggered over, his usual smirk firmly in place.

"Hey Kabir," he said, his voice dripping with insincerity. "So, looks like you and Aditi are pretty cozy these days."

I glanced at him, already feeling a twinge of irritation. "We're just sitting together today. What's your point?"

Jai leaned in, his eyes glinting with a mix of arrogance and something darker. "Oh, come on. Don't play dumb. It's obvious you've got a thing for her. I mean, who wouldn't? But don't get too comfortable."

I crossed my arms, trying to keep my cool. "And why's that? Because you've got some history with her?"

Jai chuckled, clearly enjoying the situation. "Exactly. You see, I know Aditi a lot better than you ever will. We go way back. I used to show up at her house back in sixth grade just to hang out. We had our little moments."
