First Day
Arjun, Saara, Taani and Kriya arrived at college, and ran to their first class, which was APS: Anthropology, Psychology, Sociology.
They get to class and see that the teacher's not even there yet, relaxing as they go in and take their seats. Kriya and Saara sit at the front, with Saara being closest to the door, while Taani sits behind Kriya, and Arjun sits beside her.
A couple minutes later, the teacher comes in. She was pretty, half the class was staring at her, but also terrifying.
"She looks like that doll from The Conjuring," mutters Kriya under her breath, causing her friends to chuckle.
"Good morning future fail - I mean freshers," says the scary professor, her cold voice making everyone immediately shut up. Everyone in the class exchanges identical 'what the hell?' looks.
"My name is Professor Ananya Malik. Ma'am to the rest of you. Not Ananya ma'am, and certainly not Anu ma'am. Simply, ma'am," she states, giving everyone a death glare, which causes them to pee their pants, but still exchange their 'what the hell?' looks again.
As Professor Ananya starts explaining the first chapter, Saara just zones out. Kriya, Taani, and even Arjun, are taking notes, but not Saara. Saara can't stand strict, monotone teachers like Professor Ananya. Plus, she has a pretty short attention span, especially if she finds something boring. She was in her own, happy world of food and cartoons... until the cold voice of a certain dicta - no, professor brought her out of it.
"Ms. Rai Prakash! I have been asking you something for the past five minutes, and all you've done is ignore me!"
"Sorry ma'am."
"Can you please just answer the question?"
"Um, what was the question again?" Saara asks meekly.
Professor Ananya sighs, rolling her eyes as she says, "What is the difference between Anthropology, Psychology, and Sociology?"
Saara's face was a complete blank as she stared at the black board for a good two minutes. "I'm waiting Ms. Rai Prakash," Professor Ananya says impatiently. That's when Saara's savior, Kriya, nudged her with her foot, and slid her notebook over to her desk so that she can live.
Saara clears her throat and confidently says, "Anthropology is the study of the lives and culture of human beings, while Psychology is the study of human behavior as well the human mind. And... oh, Sociology is the study of human relationships within social organizations."
Professor Ananya sighs, exclaiming, "Finally!"
Just then, the bell rings and an irritated Professor Ananya says, "Thank you for wasting my valuable time Ms. Rai Prakash."
But Saara didn't care. In fact, she was the first one to dash out of that classroom while shouting "I'm free!" The rest of the class kind of just awkwardly walked out.
Once everyone was outside, Taani and Kriya both grab Saara by her arms and demand "What the hell was that?" Arjun on the other hand, was laughing hysterically.
Saara looks at him and says, "Oh, so not only am I best-friends with hyenas, but I'm related to one too. That's just great."
"Shut up!" says Kriya.
"Why'd you have to run out like that?" asks Taani.
"Yeah. She already doesn't like you very much, no offense, so why are you trying to make her hate you?" asks Kriya.
"Can we get something to eat first? I'm not trained to answer this many questions at once unless I have an actual meal in my stomach."
Kriya and Taani just look at each other, and then drag Saara to the canteen. Arjun on the other hand, sneakily walks away from them.
...
Outside, an expensive black car approaches the college. It parks on a star with an 'S' on it. Two beautiful girls get out of the car. One with style and attitude, the other slouchy and unaware of her surroundings. One who made boys drool, while the other made them want to pee in their pants. One was named Sharon, the other Vrushika.
As they were walking towards the college, Sharon all but commands, "Vrushika Rai Prakash, get those earbuds out of your ears. It's bad to walk and listen to music at the same time."
"Di, chill. I do this all the time."
"Maybe in Dehli, but -" Sharon begins, but her younger cousin cuts her off and says, "Not in Mumbai. Blah blah blah, I know!"
"Vrushi -" Sharon begins to warn her, but gets cut off again.
"Bye di, I'm going to go find food!" says Vrushika, leaving her dumbstruck cousin behind.
...
The 3Js walked into the canteen and sat down to get Saara some food, while lecturing her on making teachers hate her on the first day. Saara tells Taani and Kriya to get the food while she texts Arjun.
Saara: What kind of brother are you?! Who leaves their one and only twin sister alone in their time of need?!
Arjun: Oh stop it you Drama Queen. First of all, you're technically not my only twin sister, so I'm going to screenshot this to Naina, have fun with that. Second of all, this is totally payback for calling me a hyena. Mwa ha ha ha ha!
Saara: You're evil, an ass****, and I hate you!
Arjun: Yeah yeah, love you too. Bye sissy!
Saara: Arjun I'll kill you!
Two minutes pass, and Arjun has yet to text back.
Saara: Arjun, reply na?!
Another minute passes, and Taani and Kriya have now returned to their table.
"Hey Jwalu, we got you your favorite -" Kriya begins, but she stops speaking when she sees her best-friend's face.
"Jwalu?" says Taani, as she waves her hand in front of Saara's face.
Taani and Kriya look at each other and yell, "Oh my god, it's Karan Wahi!" This brings Saara out of her trance immediately.
"What, where?!" she demands, getting up and looking around. She looked insane, which scared basically everyone except Taani and Kriya.
"In Goa," says Taani, sweetly. Saara glares at her, but Taani doesn't seem fazed by it.
They all sit down, and Saara starts devouring her sandwich. After she's done, Kriya says, "You need to start paying attention in class."
Saara laughs at this, and then says, "Oh wait, you're serious."
"Oh, we're very serious," Taani tells her. Just as Saara was about to say something else, a petite girl practically jumps on her from behind, scaring the living daylights off of Miss 'I watch horror movies so it's impossible to scare me' Rai Prakash.
"Nisha!" Saara practically screams at the top of her lungs, as if the spirit of Sharon Rai Prakash herself had entered into her body. "Get off me you crazy monkey lady!"
"It's crazy cat lady you doofus!" Nisha breaks Saara's eardrums while yelling into her ear.
"Well, you're weird, so it's crazy monkey lady for you."
"I'm not weird, I'm special and unique."
"You are literally cutting off all circulation to my lungs."
"I think you screaming like a banshee might have had something to do with that."
"Are you guys seriously just going to sit there and drink your goddamn smoothies while this mad woman assaults me?!" Saara demands from her two best-friends.
"Yup!" they say in unison, taking a slurp of their smoothies.
"I hate you all with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns."
"We love you too!" Taani and Kriya says cheerfully.
"Ugh, I'm bored with you," says Nisha, finally letting go of Saara and making her way over to Taani and Kriya. "So, what class do you guys have next?"
"Um, I'm pretty sure we have Economics," says Kriya, while Saara groans.
"Oh cool, I have Economics with you guys then," Nisha says excitedly.
"Yay!" exclaims Taani, pulling Nisha in for a hug. She then glances down at her watch and remarks, "Oh, we have 45 minutes left. I'm just going to look around the college. See you guys in class."
"Bye Tans!" says Nisha, waving at her.
"She is so looking for a quiet place where she can think and sing," Kriya says knowingly, the minute her sister's out of earshot.
"She'll probably end up in one of the old abandoned classrooms. Or in one of the fire exits," Nisha points out.
"But she'll never, ever go up to the terrace. Miss 'I'm not scared of anything' will never ever go near a terrace or a balcony. Even though she's not afraid of heights, and she always sits on her window sill," says Kriya.
"It's strange," says Saara, going into deep thought.
Suddenly, Nisha slaps her forehead and says to Saara, "Jwalu, I almost forgot! I have to talk to you about something important. Like, right now."
"You guys go ahead. I'm starving, and I really want to finish my book," Kriya tells them, as she gets up to go buy a sandwich.
Nisha stops her and says, "Kri, take my sandwiches. They're cream cheese and cucumber -"
Kriya cuts her off by screaming, "Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie!"
"Hey, how come you don't get excited when I make you sandwiches?" asks Saara, pouting.
"Because your sandwiches aren't as good as Nisha's. Or Taani's. Or my mom's. Yeah, your sandwiches just aren't that good," says Kriya, as she takes the sandwich from Nisha and sits down to eat.
Before Saara could say anything else, Nisha says,"Okay, let's go Jwalu. Bye Kri." Kriya doesn't even look back at Nisha as she drags Saara out of the canteen.
The two girls go to an empty corridor and Saara asks,"So, what's up? What did you want to talk to me about?"
"I wanted to talk to you about Sharon di. What is all this dazzler-weakling crap? This morning, Aashi di said not to talk to her at college unless we're alone because she doesn't want me to become a 'target' or some shit like that."
"Oh... that."
"Yeah, that!"
"Look, I honestly don't know what exactly caused all this bullshit. But from what Rey, Vicky, Swayam and Simmi di told me, Sharon di became really mean after chachu said some stupid things to her without thinking. You know, after the divorce was finalized. So last year, she created the whole dazzler-weakling divide. Aashi di got classified as a 'weakling' because she thinks this is all insanely stupid, not to mention childish. Oh and she still wanted to be able to hang out with Bharat, Neha and Swayam."
"Well she's right! It is insanely stupid and childish."
"I know! It's all so messed up. And Sharon di won't even talk to anyone about it!" Saara groans out in frustration, sitting down on one of the benches.
Nisha sits down beside her and says "Hey, it's okay. Everything's going to okay."
Saara gives her a small smile, which causes Nisha to say, "What the hell is that?. You call that a smile? I call that being upset, but trying not to upset your friends. Now if you don't give me an actual smile, I will shove one my 'special' sandwiches down your throat."
"If you're going to threaten me like that, then how do expect me to smile?" Nisha then uses her hands to make Saara's mouth smile.
"Good enough," she says.
After she removes her hands from Saara's face, Saara says, "You're insane, you know that right?" to which Nisha replies, "I know, but you love me anyway."
"Do I have a choice?"
"Nope!" This is what finally causes Saara to smile. Not a fake one, but a real one.
