"Rohit, concentrate. Look at Myra." Mrs Sneha shouted.

Rohit who was staring at Diya turned to Mrs Sneha and apologized.

"Where is your mind at?"

"Diya." One student shouted.

"What?... Diya?" Mrs Sneha turned to face Diya. "Ohh..." Mrs Sneha gave her a smile. "No wonder you are here... Otherwise we had finished with your scenes last week itself."

Diya's face flushed. She and Rohit had planned to go to the coffee shop after rehearsals. She was going to sit in the library and read a book till he got free. But he had insisted her to come with him to the drama room.

She was just seated idle and looking at his practice. Occasionally he glanced at her and winked or gave a smile.

He was impatient and couldn't wait for the rehearsals to get over. He wanted to get away from the irritating Myra as early as possible.

"Rohit, do you want to change the Juliet of your play?" Mrs Sneha teased.

Rohit considered it for a moment and even looked at Diya. Diya shook her head sideways immediately. Then looking at Mrs Sneha she said," no ma'am. I'm happy with the role I have bagged."

"Alright. Let's pack up for now." Mrs Sneha said and left the room.

Rohit was talking to his friends. With a gesture of his hand, he indicated Diya to wait for a few minutes.

Diya was going through WhatsApp on her mobile when Myra stopped beside her.

"Diya."

"Myra."

Diya glanced at Rohit. He was engrossed in the conversation with his friends.

"So, you and Rohit, huh? You have become quite famous in just a couple of days."

"Ummm... Yeah. You could say that."

"All thanks to Rohit. By the way, how long do you think?"

Diya frowned. "How long for what?"

"For your so called relationship to last."

What the... !  How can she even ask such a question ?

Myra continued. "Ishita said 4 weeks... Meena had said just 2 weeks, so she has already lost. Even Shreya..."

Diya was surprised. They were placing bets on when she and Rohit would break up.

"But Diya," Myra placed her hand on Diya's. "I gave you some more time. 3 months. That's precisely the time I think you two will last."

"Thanks for being considerate Myra." Diya shrugged Myra's hand and gave her a smug smile. "But I'm sorry. You all are going to lose. Cause my and Rohit's relationship is very strong."

Myra scoffed." That is what you think Diya."

"Yes Myra. That's what Rohit and I think as well as believe."

"Diya, let me tell you one thing. I am the Juliet of this play and his life as well... Just like he left you in the play he will leave you in real life too. You will be just forgotten like Rosaline was."

Diya smirked. "Myra. If you want to go by the play then atleast get the characters right. If I remember quite well then you were Rohit's girlfriend first right? And he broke up with you. Now he is with me. So according to the play you are Rosaline and I am Juliet."

Myra had a defeated expression on her face. But she soon covered it up with a glare. She pointed her finger at Diya. "You don't know Rohit like I do. He will soon get bored of you and leave you... You are just a timepass for him. A new challenge... You played hard to get. For all you know he could be just playing a bet."
