The alarm blared, pulling me from sleep. I stretched my arms lazily, but as my gaze drifted to the calendar, a jolt of panic ran through me. Today was Reyansh Bhai’s birthday. How could I have forgotten? Lately, my life had been consumed by so many things that his birthday had completely slipped my mind.


I sprang out of bed and rushed to the bathroom to take a quick shower.

I stepped out of the bathroom, refreshed from my shower, and slipped into a crisp white shirt paired with a grey skirt. After fastening my watch, I applied some moisturizer, sunscreen, a touch of lip balm, and a hint of tint for a natural glow. Grabbing my bag, I headed out the door, ready for college.

ISHITA'S LOOK

I drove myself to college, and as soon as I arrived, I ran into Ruhanika. She hugged me warmly, asking, "Are you feeling better now?" I nodded, and she grinned, pulling me into another hug. "Wow, Ishu! I'm so happy for you!" she exclaimed, her excitement radiating.

"So, you've finally decided to give this new relationship a chance?" she asked eagerly.

"Yes, Ruhanika," I replied with a small smile. "He's a good person, and I want to give him a fair chance."

I told her everything about last night, and her eyes lit up. "Oh my god, he's so romantic!"

"Romantic? He's not romantic, he's just flirty!" I laughed, rolling my eyes as she teased, "Uh-huh, and that's why you're giving him a chance, right?"

I just smiled, shifting the topic. "Anyway, I have a class now. Stay here if you want."

"Diverting the topic, are we, Ishu?" she smirked.

I didn't say anything, just smiled as we walked to class together.
