Episode 1

Priya's House

The sun was shining along with a blow of light wind. The alarm rang, an arm reached out and pressed the snooze button. A yell is heard in the distance.

Kiran: (yelling) Priya, its time to go to school. Get up and get ready it your first day.

Priya: (yarning and yelling) Yes mom, I'm up (stretching her arm).

Priya gets up and slips into her slippers. Goes to the bathroom. After about an hour Priya comes out in a rush. Throwing the towel on the bed. She brushes her hair and runs downstairs.

Priya: Mommy, I late I will just have orange juice (grabbing the glass, she starts to drink).

Kiran: OK! But remember to go to the mandir before you leave.

Priya: Yeah I know (priya walks to the mandir: put her hands together) God, I know you gave me everything, but can you try to make today go very well. Because this is my second time starting in a new school and you know how my first year went. (priya picks up her bag and leaves.). Bye mom. Bye dad.

Priya: (getting nervous) Gang! Wh-

Mr. Singh: (cutting Priya off again) For a new girl, you have quite a talkative mouth.

Priya: (embarrassed) Sorry

Mr. Singh turning back, to his lesson.

Manisha: Don't worry, he just like that (sticking out her tongue out, making priya laugh. After a few minutes the bell rings. Everyone gets up. Manisha getting up). Ok lets go. You'll love them.

Arjun runs towards Priya, pushing her, making her books drop. Arjun helps Priya pick up her books.

Arjun: (very excited) you're the new girl? Right!

Priya: (getting up) Yeah.

Arjun: (getting up) Is your name Gillette?

Manisha gets up and walks towards them.

Priya: (confused) Excuse me. I don't get what you mean.

Arjun: coz you're the best a man can get.

Manisha: (tapping arjun, to move aside. Talking to Priya) Don't mind him. He my brother, Arjun. He's a flirt. But don't worry, he won't bug you anymore. (turning towards Arjun, talking to him)

Right?

Arjun: (sadly looking down) Yes!

Manisha: (talking to Priya) and don't worry that's not the only flirt you have to worry about. Lets me show you the rest of my gang.

Priya: (nervous) OK

Manisha: (laughing) oh I don't mean gang, like a real gang. I meant gang as a gang of friends.

Priya: (calming down) Sorry it's that where I lived in England we never called a group of friends 'a gang' unless you were some type of thug.

Arjun, Manisha, and Priya walk towards there table.

Manisha: Guys. I want you to meet Priya. She the new girl in school.

Priya: (talking to everyone, nervous) Hi!

Anurag, Mitesh, and Pritam: Hey!

Pritam: (gets up and walks to the empty chair) Hello. Cupid called. He says to tell you that he needs my heart back.

Priya: (laughing while walking towards Pritam) He's the other flirt (manisha noddeds, everyone laughs)

Pritam: It's not my fault I fell in love. You are the one that tripped me (everyone laughs). Anyways, have a seat.

Priya: (sitting down) thanks.

Manisha goes to sit next to Anurag, Mitesh was sitting on the seat Arjun was seating on before. Arjun goes to sit on Pritam seat.

Pritam: (to Arjun) Hey! thats my seat.

Arjun: To bad you move your feet (everyone one except Priya speaks with Arjun) You lose your seat.

Priya: Do you want my seat? (about to stand)

Pritam: No! (pushing her down) For you I can stand all day.

Everyone starts to laugh.

Manisha: Ok! Stop flirting with her! Priya, the guy to your right is Mitesh, he's like a brother to all of us. If you have any problems you can go to him. And next to him is, actually you know him. He's my older brother, by one year. Which he doesn't let me forget. Next to is Anurag (hugging him), he's my boyfriend. If you have any problems, you can come to him or me also. And finally the guy standing next to you is Pritam. He is the biggest flirt you'll ever see. Oh yeah! If you have any problems don't and I repeat don't go to Arjun and Pritam. They just do the opposite of helping you.

Arjun and Pritam: (at the same time) Hey! What's that suppose to mean? (every one laughs)

Manisha: Hey! I got a idea why don't you come to the club with us tomorrow.

Priya: (depressingly) The club? I don't know.

Anurag: Come on. It'll be fun and if your afraid, that your parents will say no, don't worry. I talk to them.

Priya: Don't worry. I'll ask them.

Anurag: Good. Now you know things about us, tell us about you.

The bell rings.

Priya: I tell you later, I have class next (getting up)

Mitesh: What class you have next?

Priya: English. Mr. Verma

Pritam: (very load) Yes

(every one laughs)

Priya: what's wrong with him.

Mitesh: Cause all of us except Arjun got the same English class next.

Manisha: (getting up) ok lets go.
