Cut to: Next morning - Excel College
Gunjan and Nupur have just reached college. A group of students spot Gunjan and come to congratulate her on her performance in the talent parade. She is pleased and Nupur tries to analyse her reaction. She is glad to notice that her little sis is taking the compliments so graciously.
Nupur: kya baat hai Gunjan, tere gaane ne toh sabpar jaadu kar diya! Acha hua tune Samrat ki baat maan li.
Gunjan: aap bhi na di..yeh log to aise hi keh rahe honge.
Nupur: arey aise hi kaise..aakhir tu behan kiski hai?
Gunjan: meri pyari di ki! Bas ek baat buri hui di..aapke aur Mayank ka dance dekhna nahi hua.
Nupur: haan..shayad kabhi aur mauka mile..Chal main class me jaati hu haan, Mayank notes pakde mera intezaar kar raha hoga.
Gunjan: thik hai di. Apna khayal rakhna.
Cut to: Mayank's classroom
True to what Nupur had predicted, he is indeed waiting for her, with notes in hand. He smiles to think how the present quiet of the room will change in a moment. He is glancing out of the window when someone taps his shoulder from behind. Thinking its Nupur, he happily turns back...
Mayank: toh aakhir aap aa hi gayi!
Sandhya: (a little taken aback) um, haan. Kyun late ho gayi kya?
Mayank: oh Sandhya..mujhe laga koi aur hai.
Sandhya: never mind. Main tumhare saath baith sakti hu?
Mayank: nahi wo actually..mera matlab hai..
(Uday has come into the class on his skateboard and has stopped himself from slipping with utmost difficulty.)
Uday: arey baith bhi jaao Sandhya, tum sab log mujhe distract kar rahe ho!
As Sandhya obliges, Mayank cant help but frown at Uday. That seat wasn't meant for her! He didn't want to have to fake polite conversation with anyone else when all he had wanted to do was talk to Nupur. He looks here and there only to see Nupur come in through the door. As she catches his eye, her face breaks into a smile. When she comes nearer, she sees that someone is already in her place. She cant help but let out an irritated reaction.
Nupur: hie Mayank, busy ho kya?
Mayank: nahi Nupur..main wo (he glances at Sandhya and back to Nupur, as if to signal to her that he cant help it)
Nupur: mujhe toh bas project k baare me baat karni thi..its ok..baad me..
Sandhya: koi problem hai guys? Tum log chaho toh main uth jaati ho.
Nupur: nahi tum baitho, main kahi aur.. (She starts to go away and look for some other empty desk. Impulsively, Mayank gets up from his seat and picks up his bag.)
Mayank: sorry Sandhya, wo mujhe Nupur ko kuch notes dikhane the. Deodhar Sir ko aaj hi submit karne hai isliye..
Sandhya: (smiling sweetly) its alryt..I dont mind..
(And Mayank and Nupur finally get to sit together..)
Nupur: kya hua? Tum uth ke kyun aa gaye?
Mayank: tumhare peeche.
Nupur: kya?
Mayank: I mean tumhe notes jo dikhane the. Deodhar Sir ko kya main akele hi report dunga?
Nupur: oh. Waise wo ladki kaun hai? Pehle toh nahi dekha.
Mayank: Sandhya. New student.
(She glances in Sandhya's direction and catches her looking at Mayank. Both of them abruptly drop their gaze.)
Mayank: kya hua?
Nupur: haan? Uh..kuch nahi..
(To herself) Mujhe aisa kyun lag raha hai ke yeh Sandhya Mayank me kuch zyada hi interest le rahi hai? Khaer, mujhe isse kya.
Cut to: Samrat and Gunjan's classroom
Miss Aha's lecture has just got over.
Benji: kya baat hai Sam? Aaj padhai me bada mann lag raha hai? Subah mujhe canteen se kheechke class me le aaya aur ab yaha se ja bhi nahi raha hai.
Samrat: yaar Benji canteen me Dia hogi. Usse nahi milna mujhe.
Benji: (laughs) kal sham bahut pakaya kya usne?
Samrat: arey chod na Kandy ko. Udhar dekh (twisting Benji's head to where Gunjan is sitting, making notes) chashmish!
Benji: mujhe kyun dikha raha hai?
Samrat: chal na usse jaake baat karte hai.
Benji: dude yeh Gunjan fasao plans tu hi follow kar, main jaake Pooja se mil aata hu.
Samrat: Pooja? Wo Diwali party wali?
Benji: haan. Tujhe pata hai aaj usne mujhe date pe bulaya hai.
Samrat: congrats dude! Chal tu ja, main chashmish ka haal puchke aata hu.
