I took a quick shower and checked the time.

12:30 p.m.

And I knew for a fact that none of the girls were awake yet.

Of course.

Typical.

I peeked outside my room.

No sign of Agastya.

Good.

I immediately ran toward the elevator and slipped inside, hitting the button before anyone could catch me.

Mission: avoid him (for now).

I reached the suite room and quietly opened the door.

And then—

I froze.

Umang di was sleeping on the floor.

On the floor.

Meanwhile, Anu had taken her place on the bed, and Shrusti and Rhea were crumpled together on the other side like a pile of laundry.

I bit my lip, trying so hard not to laugh.

But one look at them—

And I lost it.

I burst out laughing.

Then suddenly—

An idea hit me.

A very harmless...

Very evil...

Idea.

I grabbed the TV remote, muted the volume, and started flipping through music channels.

And then—

I found it.

VH1.

Playing the perfect song.

I smirked.

Oh, this was going to be fun.

"Wake Me Up" by Avicii started playing—

And I immediately unmuted the TV and cranked the volume all the way up.

All four of them shot up straight in shock.

They looked at me.

Shrush and Rhea?

Flopped right back to sleep.

Unbothered.

Meanwhile, Anu was still sitting there, looking around like she had no idea what dimension she was in.

A loud groan came from the floor.

Umang di grabbed a pillow and threw it straight at me.

"Shut it off, you evil bitch!" she mumbled in a sleepy voice.

I muted the TV again.

"Well, girls," I said sweetly, "it's already 12:30. We have dance practice at 2 and the sangeet at 8."

I yanked their blankets away.

"Get your sleepy asses up."

I folded the blankets neatly.

"I'm ordering pancakes and coffee. Also—aspirin is available for anyone dealing with their poor life choices."

I walked into the living area and ordered breakfast.
