Manan share a long eye-lock. When Nandani just smelled some orange juice.
Nandani: Manik yeh kaunsa perfume hai jis me orange juice ki smell ati hai???
Manik: oh.. Genius.. Tum konsi duniya me reh rahi ho? Yeh perfume Nahi hai Harshad ne mere pe yeh ghiraya hai
Nandani: toh tum ne change Nahi kiya???
Manik: oh Nans plzz I was going but then if I went on then you would fall and hurt yourself so I thought why don't I show my kindness
Nandani: tum the.. The.. Theek ho? Kal tak tumhe mera chera bhi Nahi dekha tah yesterday.. Or aaj tum yeh... Sarpe bhoot chadha hai Kay?
Manik: kya " theek ho? "tum muje pe koi asan kar rahi ho thanks Bol ka
Nandani: haan asan hi toh kar rahi hu, if you wouldn't have been here I would have saved my self since I have the bed right next to me
Manik: ya right or if ur leg twisted in saving yourself then
Nandani: then nothing I am pretty sure Navya, Bublu, or Ronny knows how crack the ankle and make it better, soo yaa
Manik: BTW ( by the way) why were you pretending to be a super model???? Huh
Nandani: I wasn't pretending to be a super model ok, I was practicing and when I turned around I fell and you caught me
Manik: oh but that was funny, being the last model on the stage you actually ended the show quiet nicely
Nandani: yaa what ever you go change and I will go join the others
Manik: hey listen wait here I will go and change and we will go together
Nandani: why should we go together, I can go on my own
Manik: coz firstly I know that you are not fully convinced with your heels you wore and it will look bad if you come then I come so best we go together..
Nandani: how will it look bad???? Or muje meri wonderful sham tumhe dek ne Nahi bigadni..
Manik:  Are bhalai ka koi Zamana hi Nahi raha... Or tumhe meri Shakal Nahi dekni thi na.. To lo...
He drops her and starts crying.... Or more like whining
Nandani: Are yeh ladke... Dimag hai ke Nahi... Navya ko pata hota to woh uska band baje dati....
Manik: uhh... So annoying... Come with me and that's final... I am not going to let you go with someone... (He slows down and realizes what he said) Else... (Nandani stares at him) I mean it would be like I saw you but I didn't come with you soo ya
Nandani: okay but be quick
Manik: haan bus panch minute.. Meh tum ladkiyo keg Tara Nahi.. Panch minute ke panch din banadalde hai..
Nandani: tumne kuch kaha... Nai agar tumhe atraaz ho to meh.. Parth ke saath chali jaugi...
Manik: no.. No are Nahi kuch nai.
He starts walking, Nandani smirking behind him. Then suddenly stops and retraces his steps..
Manik: yeh parth kon hai??!
Nandani: oh no one... Just the most popular guy in the senior year who was dying to go with me... He actually asked me out on the first day of...
Manik: SHUT UP... You have to stay right here... Catch you moving and game over..
Nandani: dude... Your crazy...are you okay.. Wait let me rephrase that... Are you normal now??
Manik: just stay away from him...
He bellowed as he walked away.
Nandani's ears still rung from that sentence.. The first time ever... He had shown a hint of careness.
Nandani(in mind): I didn't know... I... I.... He does care
Manik comes out of the washroom and they leave for the ball.
Bickering... They enter the hall... Only to find themselves in a hushed hall.. With all eyes staring upon them.. They enter.. With radiance glowing brighter with every step.. A small ball inside Manik lit up... Like a ray of sun after a cruel storm.. Warming his soul till .. There was nothing he wanted to do.. Other than to pause this moment forever.. For he knew.. He found something better than anything he loved.. He thought he found true...
Harshad: aww so cute.. The duet found time to visit us after their love story had ended
Manik snapped out of it.. Only to realizes he had been holding hands with Nandani
Manik: Harshad Plzz agar tumhaari love story corrupted ho to Mai Kay karu..
Harshad: oh so you do admit you like her...
Alya: bhai.. Agar Apko kuch pata na ho to plz hum pe raham khao or Hume chodo..
Cabir: yaa Harshad we don't wanna create a scene here so plz leave to that
Soha: what, you all talk like you never created a scene
Mukti: oh ho tum to rehene hi do Soha
Aryaman: kya huh what rehene hi do she's right ok, and lemme tell you the truth is not always beautiful
Alya: Aryaman plzz try that line on you befor......
Manik: hum log kis se lad rahe hai in loser se guys plzz lets just go, coz like this we are helping them
Mukti: how are we helping them Manik????
Manik: Mukti my dear sis( Manik always took Mukti as his little sister), don't you get that loners always need company
Mukti: yaa right
Harshad: Manik really we and loners, don't you have anything else to say
Manik: Harshad, I know why you guys wanna hang out with us, coz then you will be popular and get everyone's attention...
Mukti: moreover you will get another title other than bullies
Harshad: Mukti......
Before he could finish they left and started to chit chat
Cabir: so what took the two of you so long???
Nandani was lost in her own world, when Manik continues and tell them what had happened...
Manik: so if you all wanna know then lemme tell you the little story, me was being a good boy and was walking through the halls when something funny caught me eye, it was mes very own Nans pretending to be a model of her dreams and then oops well doing the swirl she tripped, before Me could laugh Me thought me should help her before Me laughed.. Me become a good guy and saved her
Nandani: Kya me me kar raha ho
Manik: oh sorry... Tumhare saath reh ke meh bhi thoda pagal ho gaya... Yeh thode side effects they..
Nandani:Oh I'm crazy.. IM CRAZY.. MEH PAGAL HU TO TUM KYA KAM HO??
Manik: chill Nans.. Tumhaari pagalpaan contagious hai.. Spread Nahi karna...
Navya: Manik chup raho.Nandu tumhe lagi toh Nahi????
Nandani: no Navya I am fine
Mukti: and Manik that was not funny ok, Nandani ko lagjati toh????
Cabir: dude that was funny ok, imagine if that happens on a real show hahahahahaha, they should never take Nans as a model
Alya: Cabir yaar, it's not funny, what if she twisted her ankle or something worse???
Dhruv: Alya's right, it's not funny
But Nandani was too far and frustrated to hear.. She was off... Rapidly talking to herself as she headed in the middle of the crowd
Cabir: yaar Manik, usko aj raat manana padega warna kal subha for sure sub ki band baje ne wali hai, hurry
Manik: Cabir you are also in this, help me yaar, you should come as well
Cabir: are meh to special HU yaar.. I will be set free and besides I think only you can calm her down
One way or another he convinces Cabir to go with him and they go to Nandani.
Cabir: yaar Manik Nans kaha hogi???
Manik: mein kya uska bodyguard hu jo muhje pata hoga
Cabir: lekin tu anuman toh laga hi sakta hain na
Manik: haan the only place I can guess is either library being a nerd, she could be in her dorm being a sensitive girl, and last place is the music room being a music student
Cabir: chalo hum phele library chalte hai, kyunki we don't want to break the rules ( sarcastically a they don't want to go in the girl's dorm)
Manik: yaa right lets go
They go to the library and both spread out.
Manik: Cabir you look near the compute lab and study area, I will look near the books and tables
Cabir: yaa sure, let's get Searching
They search the whole library.
Cabir: yaar woh toh Nahi mili, aur tuhje????
Manik: nahi yaar, ok let's give a try at the music room
Cabir: haan chal
They are headed towards the music room when Manik's eye catches something
Manik: Cabir woh yeha hai
Cabir: haan theek hai tu ander ja me tera liye wait kar raha hu
Manik: asa kyu?? Tu bhi mere sath chal
Cabir: kyunki she is upset coz of you, so you go
With that Cabir pushed Manik in the dorm. Manik went in taking baby steps towards Nandani as he was unsure what to say.
Manik(mind): yaar kya kahu isko, I shouldn't have told everyone, but hey she told my funny sort of story to everyone about that lift thing so I guess we are balanced
Manik walked to Nandani.
Manik: ummmm......... Nans
Nandani: Manik don't call me Nans that isn't my name
Manik: ok ok chill, so why did you just come here without telling?? 
Nandani: tum se matlab????
Manik: Nandani, party chale rahi hai toh chalo, me tumhe lene aya hu
Nandani: Manik muhje Nahi jana party me so, plzz leave
Manik: Nandani plzzz
Nandani: Manik you go
Manik: Nandani, look I'm sorry ok, ab toh chalo
Nandani: sorry kis liye?????
Manik: coz I said your funny incident to everyone
Nandani: I didn't come here because you said that but I came here coz woh jo Harshad ne kaha, is that what it looked like?????
Nandani asked getting lost in her world..... Manik snapped her out of it.
Manik: no yaar everyone even forgot about it, ab toh chalo mere sath
Nandani: are you sure????
Manik: YESSS and Nans don't you trust me
Nandani: yes I do trust ......
Manik: then chalo
They get up and go outside of the dorm and find Cabir sitting on the bench.
Cabir: hogaya, are you finally coming???
Nandani: ya Cabir I'm coming
Cabir: then let's go
And they leave for the ball..... They get there and go to where the others were standing
