Well actually on heading towards the café, Ishaan did take notice of my attire and remarked how horrible I looked. I honestly didn't care for what people thought about my looks and attire. But, today I knew for myself, how horrible it was looking. "I know, how horrible I am looking. But I have no more clothes to wear. Not until tomorrow afternoon." I told him. He slapped his forehead, for I was a complete idiot for him and brought me to his house, which was on the other side of the café. So, actually our houses were exactly same distance and the café happened to be located exactly, half way through.

He took me to his house and offered me his t – shirt. I quickly occupied one of the washrooms as I already had my pair of jeans and came out. I was looking like a beggar, who had asked for clothes from people and was all-helpless.

As, I stepped out of the washroom. Ishaan scanned me. "You don't look bad Kayu" and made his way to the front door. " 'Kayu' like seriously Ishaan?", I asked with my hands thrown in the air. I was pissed with every single person giving me a nickname. For Rohan, I was Kay; for mom, I was pancake, like I don't know why, but just because I loved eating pancakes, she called me pancake. Anyways, for dad, I was cherry (don't ask me why, he never told me and I honestly do not know); for Ishaan, I honestly thought, for Ishaan, I was always KM, but this 'kayu' thingy didn't sound approving. For Darshan, I was a cupcake, silly. It is. And for Kritz, I was K. yes, just K.

"hey, what's wrong with 'kayu'? like, why don't you like it?", Ishaan asked me, as we walked past the various vehicles. Yes, we were on our way towards the café (once again). "Umm, nothing, like I have a lot of nicknames and I fail to understand, why you people really need to give me a nickname. You know, like I am fine with my name 'Kayna'. Its just a five-letter name not even that big and yet look at your name it has I-S-H-A-A-N. Like six-letter for real?" I asked him rather irritated. Well, this time he remained silent, as he didn't want to heat up the discussion. I decided to also remain quite. It took us another five minutes, before we finally turned into 'the lane' (yeah, the café's lane).

I happily stepped into the café and made my way to my favourite seat. I sat down as quickly as I could and I heard my IPhone buzzing. I like how it is called I-Phone. Ha!! Ha!! Anyways I can just never satisfy, my cravings for Apple products. "Hey KM! Your phone its buzzing pick it up", Ishaan spoke bringing my attention towards the 'I-Phone'. I quickly pick it up to find all of my favourite people in one, single frame. I could feel tears settling up on my eyes and before I could let them out. All of them spoke a very 'enthusiastic' 'Hi' and I joined in.

Well, I almost forgot to inform you. So, after school ended, Kritz and Rohan were in touch. I mean yes, of course, we all were, but like they were together. Then things happened and according to our dreams and goals, we all shifted to different places and eventually, they lost touch. So, currently Kritz and Rohan are undergoing a break up. So as usual, Rohan is very sad. He is just always sitting there trying to speak as less as he can, over the video calls and often tries to divert topics and not answer properly. Whereas, Kritz is kind of cool about it. You know, like she is not actually sulking, but she says that this helped her focus more on her studies. Well, we (I mean everyone except Kritz and Rohan), are still not sure of who initiated the break up.

We randomly talk about normal stuff and I let Ishaan join the call sitting beside me. So there is this one thing about Darsh that I can hardly get. Like, Ishaan has always been joining our video calls. But, Darsh is the one who seems offended the most, for example, currently he is sitting with a pumpkin- face and being all gloomy types. I don't know, what is wrong with him. Yeah, so we normally chitchat over random stuff. We talk about my college projects, Kritz's life, Darsh's new, upcoming song and well, Rohan just sulked anyways.

As, the network started to get weak we quickly synched into a 'Goodbye' and disconnected the call. Ishaan and I had some coffee and spent some more time. We returned back to our respective homes and I almost, immediately hit the bed. I had had a lot of fun for today.
