Priya walks into the canteen.

Priya: hey (wondering) where's Pritem

Mitesh: he didn't feel like coming to school today.

Anurag: (mad, but doesn't show it much) so how's your boyfriend

Priya: (confused) Boyfriend who?

Anurag: Sunny

Priya: (laughing) Sunny is not my boyfriend.

Anurag: Yes he is

Priya: No he's not

Anurag: (begins to show that he's mad) Yes he is

Priya: (getting mad) No he's not

Anurag: Yes he is

Priya: (mad) how are you going to go and tell me that he is my boyfriend?

Anurag: you when on a date with him.

Priya so! One date doesn't officially make you boyfriend or girlfriend

Anurag: yes it does

Priya: No it doesn't

Anurag: yes it does

Priya: No it doesn't

Anurag: you're so negative

Mitesh, Manisha, Arjun watch back and forth from Priya and Anurag.

Arjun: (yelling) I'm the only one who fights with Priya.

Anurag and Priya: (looking at Arjun) shut Up (Arjun jumps back as Manisha and Mitesh laugh)

Priya: I'm negative (Priya sees sunny at the door, yelling) Sunny (sunny looks up at Priya) Come here (sunny walks up to Priya) If you go on a date once, does officially make you are boyfriend and girlfriend?

Sunny: No

Priya: (speaking to Anurag) see

Anurag: But could a first date indicate that you are boyfriend and girlfriend

Sunny: yes

Priya: But what -

Anurag: (cutting her off) Sunny you can go, she just going crazy.

Priya: I'm crazy, I'm negative well you're (stumbling on her words, everyone giggles) you're (pauses) Uhhhhhhh

Manisha: forget him; he's in the mood of bugging everyone.

Priya: (calming down) why weren't you in class today.

Anurag: Didn't feel like going

Manisha: I don't want to go to class today.

Arjun, Mitesh, Anurag: me either

Manisha: Let's cut [cut, buck, meaning don't attend class]

Anurag, Arjun, Mitesh: Fine

Priya: But I want to go to class

Manisha: Come on it will be fun.

Priya: I want to go to class

Anurag: (giggling) what you're in love with Mr. Verma

Priya: You're disgusting

Priya gets up to get away from Anurag. Priya walks behind Anurag. Anurag grabs her hand and pulls her. She falls on top of Arjun.

Arjun: (in pain) my legs my legs, your crushing my legs

Priya: (still on Arjun) I'm sorry, I'm soooooo sorry

Arjun: (in pain) get off my leg

Priya gets up and moves a side

Arjun: First it was hurtful to stand, sit and just be with Pritem. Now it's Anurag. I wonder who's next.

Manisha: what do you mean now its Anurag?

Arjun: remember the day Mitesh was teaching her to defend before we came to the canteen, she fell on top of me and that day I was with Anurag and yesterday night I was running with Anurag and I fell in the mud.

Priya: why don't you just disappear from my life?

Arjun: why don't you disappear from mine?

Pritem walks in

Pritem: (sad) hey guys

Manisha: you ok

Pritem: na

Manisha:  why what happen?

Pritem: Nothing Anjali

Mitesh: why?

Pritem: she had to leave; before she left she wanted to meet me.

Manisha: Priya I told you didn't I

Priya: I'm Sorry

Pritem: why would you say sorry? Its destiny

After a few minutes the bell rings.

Manisha: Why don't we go to the park?

Anurag: sure

Priya: ok you guys have fun. Bye

Manisha: wait we'll drop you

Priya: what if Mr. Verma sees you.

Manisha: we're going to stop at the corner.

Priya: ok

Anurag: (leaving) yes he is

Priya: (leaving) no he's not

Anurag: (leaving) yes he is

Priya: (leaving) no he's not

Everyone walks to the class. Manisha, Mitesh, Pritem, Arjun, and Anurag stop at the corner. Priya walks towards class.

Anurag: she really walking towards class

Mitesh: Yo Arjun grab her before she enters

Arjun runs towards Priya. Arjun grabs Priya before she enters the class and drags her to the stairs. Manisha, Anurag, Mitesh, and Pritem run by the class and reach Priya and Arjun at the stairs.

Priya: (mad) what the hell were you thinking? Never and I mean never grab me like that

Arjun: (mad) I don't get an enjoyment doing this. You're the one who was walking into class like you were all it.

Mitesh: can we go now.

Priya ignores them and walks down the stairs. Pritem also ignores them and walks down the stair. Anurag, Mitesh, Manisha, Arjun walk behind them. Priya and Pritem walk out of school towards the park.

Manisha: I can't see them like this. we have to do something.

Mitesh: But what

Manisha: I don't know.

After a few minutes in the park, Priya and Pritem sit on the grass, back to back. Priya taps on Pritem to hand him the bag of chips.

Manisha, Anurag, Arjun, and Mitesh are sitting on the ledge looking at Priya and Pritem.

Anurag: This is not fun.

Mitesh: to make it we have to do something to get them back to normal.

Arjun: well we have a long week off from school, they'll get better.

Anurag: that's it

Manisha: what's it.

Anurag: look we have about the whole week off.

Manisha: So

Anurag: so let's go to my farmhouse for the week, it will be change of atmosphere.

Manisha: (pinching his cheek) you're so cute when you say something smart.

Manisha gets up and walks to Pritem and Priya.

Manisha: hey guys (Priya and Pritem look up) we have decided that we're going to Anurag farmhouse for the vacation.

Pritem and Priya: aha

Manisha: well then we're leaving tomorrow at five. So pack you bag and we'll meet each other in front of Mitesh house.

Priya and Pritem: aha

Everyone comes and sits next to Priya and Pritem. Pritem lies down and Priya lies down and puts her head on Pritem's stomach.

Manisha: So Pritem you'll pick me and Arjun up and drives us to Mitesh house and Priya Anurag will pick you up. And then when we come back we drive to Mitesh house and Pritem you will drop us home and Anurag will drop Priya home.

Pritem and Priya: whatever

Manisha: so it settled

Manisha lies down and puts her head on Priya's stomach. Anurag lies down and puts his head on Manisha stomach. Mitesh then puts his head on Anurag and Arjun puts his head on Mitesh, creating a circle. They all lay there looking at the sky.
