Episode 40(April Fool's)
This is the episode i had posted on April Fools when i was posting it on india-forums.in

Next day, everyone's sitting and talking in the canteen.

Priya: hey Mitesh. Don't get me wrong but it was kind of weird. You came to the house in the middle of the night and just happen to fell asleep on the couch.

Mitesh: (giggling) I was wondering when this question would pop out from you're mouth.

Priya: oh. But why?

Mitesh: Forget it. You have enough problems in your life to hear mines.

Priya: come on.

Manisha puts her hand on Priya shoulder telling her to let it go. Naina comes into the canteen.

Manisha: (waving) hey Naina!

Naina sees Manisha and walks to the table.

Arjun: oh god! Why are you calling her here?

Manisha: shut up Arjun.

Arjun takes out his wallet.

Naina: hi guys.

Arjun: (making excuses to get always from Naina. Getting up) does anyone want anything?

Naina: you can sit back down. I won't bug you.

Arjun: (surprised) No Naina, you got me all wrong.

Naina: it's ok. Arjun I know.

Arjun sits down. Naina begins to leave.

Arjun: where are you going?

Naina: over there.

Arjun: why? (Smiling) You're to pretty for us now.

Naina: No it's not that.

Arjun: then why are you standing (trying to act friendly pulls a chair out next to him) sit.

Naina grabs the chair and takes it towards Pritem.

Pritem: you didn't come for a long time. Where were you?

Naina: busy, getting some extra credits. But now I'm all done. (To Priya) so Priya how's your Nanni.

Priya: Avinash said she's fine. But I don't know, he kind of sounded weird on the phone.

Manisha: kuch nahin hoga? Relax… so where did you guys go yesterday.

Naina: Yesterday? Who me?

Manisha: (Priya's drinking water) yeah you and Priya. (Priya starts to cough)

Priya: um I'll be right back (standing) chale Anurag.

Anurag: Me (getting comfortable) I'm tooooooooo lazy.

Priya: (grabbing him, mad) lets go.

Anurag and Priya leave the canteen. Leaving everyone surprised and confused.

Naina: me and Priya, I just saw her today, like all of you.

Arjun and Manisha look at each other more surprised to why Priya had lied to them.

Outside the canteen.

Anurag: what was that? Now'll they'll be suspecting me!

Priya: and their should. Cause of you I had to lie to Manisha that I was with Naina.

Anurag: (mad) me? You're the one who came up with the stupid idea of giving a surprise to Manisha and now you're blaming me just because I when along with it.

Priya: (mad) don't yell at me. I'm not the idiot who couldn't do anything extra for his girlfriend because he was to dumb to think of anything.

Anurag: (stomped) uh! I don't have to take this. I'm going.

Priya: (grabs his arm) no! Wait! (Anurag stops and listens) what should I do?

Anurag: play it cool.

Priya: (mad) play it cool. Play it cool. It's easy for you to say that because you didn't lie to Manisha. (Anurag tries to talk but she cuts him off) and it's easy cause she thinks that your already cheating. So no harm will be done to you. (Again she cuts him off. Priya begins to pace back and forth) but I'm her friend. I can't lie to her. I felt so bad that I lied to her last night. I think I might need therapy after your anniversary (again but cuts him off) or maybe I need one right now. Cause I going insane or maybe I'm insane and this thing I'm feeling isn't insanity, it's just mean going sane. Or is it -

Anurag grabs Priya and covers her mouth.

Anurag: make I talk please. (Priya nods. Anurag lets go of her) first I have no idea what you just said. And second like I said play it cool. Just say you were going to Naina but you decided to go to the -library.

Priya was about to say something but Anurag drags her into the canteen.

Anurag: so what's happening?

Manisha: nothing. (She gets up and leaves)

Priya runs behind her.

Priya: (wickedly smiling) Manisha! Manisha!

Manisha: (outside the canteen. Turning around mad. Priya smile quickly fades) what?

Priya: (innocent) what happen. Why did you get-

Manisha: why did you lie to me?

Priya: look I'm sorry. Its feel really bad believe me. But-

Manisha: (cutting her off) is it you?

Priya: what?

Manisha: are you and Anurag going out. If you are then just tell me I'll be more then happy to step aside.

Priya: Step Aside!

Manisha: what?

A guy tries to walk past Manisha.

Guy: excuse me.

Manisha: oh.

Priya: look, believe me; I don't like lying to you. But I don't want you to jump to any conclusion. With just one eyewitness that was nothing but just a hi.

Manisha: so you did see him with a girl.

Priya: yeah but just don't jump to any conclusion. Wait till tomorrow.

Manisha: ok

While they both walk in. Priya cell rings. Arjun looks at the screen.

Arjun: (surprised) Vicky!?!

Priya runs to get the phone when she hears Arjun.

Priya: that's Avinash's friend. I'll be right back. (Walking outside, picking up the phone) hello, ek minute. (Walks outside the canteen) ok now what's up.

Vicky (is not Avinash friend. Avinash has no friend name Vicky. Vicky is the guy from before who was in the bike race with Anurag): So how's the plan working.

Priya: great! When Manisha finds out that he is cheating on her. He would lose the support of Manisha, Arjun and Mitesh. And I don't believe Pritem would be too hard, but I do need your help.

Vicky: don't worry I starting to believe, When Manisha finds out Anurag is cheating on her. Pritem will leave his side soon. And after Anurag has no support we'll punish him for killing Roney.

Priya gets flashback of the time Pritem tells her about the murder case Anurag was involved in.

Vicky: (laughing) Anurag thought he could get away with killing Avinash's brother. While I'm around Anurag it going to died a million deaths.

Priya: but I just don't get one thing is how Pritem would leave Anurag side. He left many things for him. Their friendship is so strong. How would-

Vicky: Priya! You're not getting it. As far as I found out Pritem is falling in love with Manisha. And like I can't see you cry, Pritem won't be able to see Manisha pain and would leave Anurag side.

Priya: waah! Idhar be ek love triangle. This is getting better by the minute. Ok I call you later.

Vicky: Na meet me in star hotel.

Priya: ok bye love you.

Vicky: love you.

Priya cuts the phone and looks at Anurag smiling wickedly.
