KEY: Tara / Meghna

I can't believe Nikhil asked you to be his girlfriend

I can't believe I said yes

Is it weird we both have boyfriends now?

I think staying in the same city was unlucky for us lmao

I miss our madness sometimes haha

Same, babe

We should do one of those virtual double-dates

I'm yet to meet your Prince Charming in person

for sure! we've been super anti-social these days so it'd be a welcome change

what's he like? I mean, you know, in real life *wink wink*

Is he the quiet kind?

he's definitely the quiet kind, but brilliant on stage. And now that I'm closer to him than before, I can see exactly how big of a struggle his stammer puts him through - he always has to think of ways around it while talking, he avoids talking to strangers completely unless he's working at the cinema and nearly tears up in frustration whenever he stutters in the middle of a sentence

but I love it all, so fucking much. He's an absolute delight to be around, always so kind and thoughtful

Your relationship is off to such an epic start, I swear to god

does it get overwhelming at times?

I hope he takes care of my boo

Yep. It's been two weeks since we first met face-to-face and so much has happened since then

I bonded with his gang (they're such lovely people), Sahil moved out and got a part-time job, I finally started school and also started looking at colleges around Juniper Hills etc. etc. 

It doesn't get overwhelming, though. Blake and his mom are very happy to have Sahil stay with them, and he seems so relaxed around their family that I honestly couldn't ask for more. And yes, he makes sure we're in touch all the time no matter how busy or tired he might be. We meet in school, drop by each other's place for Netflix dates almost everyday and obviously text each other 24x7! 

It's only the start of our relationship but I'd say we're pretty solid at managing our stuff :)

I'm so happy for you guys, T

Such a power couple omg

We try. I'm at the cinema right now, it's break-time so I brought cookies (and homework but don't tell Sahil that)

He's needed here Monday, Wednesday and Friday so it's not too hectic

Sheesh, you brought homework? You're already a pro 

Here's me hoping Nikhil and I turn out like Sahra <3

I like that ship name wow

just because it's a new relationship doesn't mean it has to be all weird and complicated, right?

Love is supporting your person through everything ;)

Absolutely. Now drop the cringey dialogues and help me with algebra

How are we thousands of miles away and yet our friendship is exactly the same?

I SAID STOP

okay, okay

I'll stop

Also, did you say you were looking at colleges? Aren't you a junior, my lady?

what's the harm in early planning?

oops, I forgot I was talking to the mighty Tara Gupta

you're looking at early admissions, aren't you

yep

I think I've fallen completely head-over-heels in love with Juniper Hills. I can't bear the thought of having to leave here to attend college somewhere else

India misses you :(

I miss India. I promise I'll come see you next summer when I visit Dad

Nikhil better be the best guy ever

he is. Okay, gotta go now 

I love you, let's talk later?

For sure. I love you, take care of yourself and Prince Charming

always <3
