"What the hell guys?" Kriya demands when her best-friends drag her into her room, and lock the door behind them.

"Exactly, what the hell?" demands Taani. "You've been avoiding us all day!"

"I've been busy," stammers Kriya.

"Busy my foot," says Saara, making Kriya sit down on her bed, back against her headboard, as she and Taani sit in front of her. "Talk to us Kriya."

Kriya brings her knees to her chest and sighs. "Growing up, I've always been called a misfit, an improper girl, and many many other things. I've never let what strangers or even close relatives say get to me. But what Sharon said reminded me of my dad. When your own father refuses to accept you for who you are, it can do things to your self-esteem. And what's worse is that he left because of me! My dad wanted a daughter, not a daughter who acted like a son. My mom had to suffer so much because of that."

"Bullshit!" Saara cuts in, baffled as to why her best-friend would even think this way. "Listen to me, your dad was a douchebag who couldn't handle his responsibilities. He did not leave because of you."

"And let's not forget that he also a loser! Maasi was practically raising you and bhai herself even when he was there," Taani points out to her cousin, a firm look in her eyes. "She did not suffer because of you! Do you hear me?"

Kriya keeps her head down, and that's when it hits Taani.

"This isn't just about your dad, is it?"

Kriya looks up at her and whispers, "No."

"Then what is it about, Kriya?" asks Saara.

"It's about my stupid emotions okay! It's about me being insecure, and jealous, and crying like the entire world's pain has just shoved itself into my heart. All my life, I've been compared to the two of you. And look, I do not blame either of you. You don't flaunt your natural beauty and ability to make guys fall head over heels for you in my face. You probably don't even have any idea about any of this but -"

"- because you don't share any of this with us you dumbass!" both Taani and Saara yell at once, making Kriya sigh, letting out a snort.

Taani takes her sister's right hand in her own. "Listen to me and listen to me well Kriya Shekhawat; you are this fierce and confident girl - no. You are this fierce and confident woman that I have always admired. You are beautiful, inside and out! But you're just not confident that you're beautiful. We all see how beautiful you are, and I think it's high time you realize it too."

"Hate to break it you but... I'm a jeans and t-shirt girl," says Kriya, clearly refusing to believe whatever comes out of the mouths of these two women sitting in front of her. "I highly doubt that that will ever qualify as beautiful."

Saara then grabs a hold of Kriya's other hand. "Well then you should know that beauty is all about feeling comfortable in your own skin. Add a little confidence, and you're good to go. And we're going to show it you and my di's party."

"It all started with her questioning you and your looks, right?" asks Taani. Kriya nods as Taani helps her get up. "Come on! We are going to prove the Wicked Vampire Queen." She then sheepishly looks at Saara and says, "Sorry."

Saara looks at Kriya, then turns back to Taani and cheekily says, "I'll let it slide just this once."

Taani starts looking through the closet, and finds exactly what she's looking for. She pulls out the top she's found, and holds it up to give Kriya and Saara a proper view of it. "You are going to wear this," Taani rummages around for a couple other things before turning back around, "with some jeans and flats."

"I'm going to wear that for a party?" Kriya looks at her cousin as if she's lost her mind.

"Yes," Saara chimes in, moving to stand beside Taani, "because it's what you are comfortable in. You hate wearing dresses and heels."

Kriya thinks for a moment and grabs the top from Taani. She finds a pair of jeans, and then heads into the bathroom. A couple minutes later, Kriya emerges from the bathroom, and looks at her reflection in the mirror. She then turns back to her friends and asks, "Is it weird that I feel like a princess in these clothes?"

Taani and Saara look at each other and giggle. "Absolutely not!" Saara assures her. "Now I'm going to leave because I have to get ready for the party myself. Arjun's gonna' come pick you guys up 'kay?"

"Okay," the cousins say at once, as their best-friend leaves.

...

Meanwhile at the Rai Prakash House, Vrushika gently opens the door to Sharon's bedroom and asks, "Di, are you ready? It's almost time for the party." Sharon, who had been crying nonstop ever since she ditched her last couple classes to come home, looks up at her cousin and stutters, "N - no. I'll go get ready right now."

"Di," Vrushika says softly, giving her cousin a kind smile, "there's some who wants to see you."

Vrushika gestures for the person to come in, and Sharon, who had been sitting on the floor, quickly gets up. "Simmi," she whispers, and the girl in question gives her a slight smile.

"I'll leave you guys to talk," says Vrushika, closing the door behind her as she leaves.

Simmi comes face to face with Sharon and says, "Listen Shar, I am so sorry! It's your birthday and -"

Sharon cuts her friend off by saying, "Don't! Please, don't apologize. You have every right to be mad at me. I was way out line with what I said to you today. Listen Simmi, I'm not sure if I'll ever be that old Sharon Rai Prakash that I was. Honestly, I just don't think I have it in me to become that sweet little girl again. I don't know what to do, or who to believe... my dad convinced me of one thing, but I'm not sure if he was right. I just need time, okay? But if I ever do that again, you know, go out of my way to mean to someone, please just give me a reality check. Slaps are permitted."

Simmi takes in what her friend has said, and sighs. "Sharon, you need time, and I'll give it to you. But how much time?"

"Please Simmi, just please!"Simmi closes her eyes, and then opens them back up.

"Fine. Now come on, let's get you ready birthday girl!"

People start to show up at around seven. Everyone greets Sharon, says happy birthday, and goes on to enjoy themselves.

"Sharon, the party's great!" exclaims Simmi.

"Thanks Simmi," says Sharon. "I was afraid people wouldn't be too into it because I don't have any alcohol here. I'm not trying to be a party pooper, I just want people hurting themselves, or anything serious happening. And I certainly don't want drunk drivers."

"I get it, Shar. But you think Vicky and Nil got the memo?"

"Oh shit! I completely forgot about that. You don't think they'll do anything stupid right?"

"They're adults Sharon, I'm sure they won't do anything too stupid."

Elsewhere, at the punch table, Vicky and Nilesh are doing something stupid.

"Okay, so we're going to switch all these non-alcoholic drinks, with alcoholic drinks," Vicky explains to his best-friend.

"But, won't Sharon get mad at us?"

"Trust me Nil, she'll be thanking us after she sees how people are enjoying themselves."

"This is going to be an interesting party..."

"Yes it is."

Meanwhile, Arjun's jeep arrives at the Rai Prakash house. Saara, who was waiting for her best-friends to come, immediately tackles them when they get out of her brother's jeep.

"I will never understand how you girls find squeezing each other to death fun," remarks Arjun. All three girls give him identical 'oh just shut up' looks.

Rey and Aashi's cars arrive right after. Nisha runs up to the other girls and hugs them. She then notices Kriya's attire and exclaims, "Whoa, Kri! You look good."

"Thanks," gushes Kriya, her cheeks turning pink.

Rey walks up to the girls and focuses his attention on Kriya. "Baatcutter," he says smugly.

"You know, until I find a witty nickname for you, I won't talk to you," declares Kriya. She then quickly corrects herself by saying, "Starting now!" when she sees the smirk on Rey's face.

Nisha on the other hand, looks back and forth from her friend to her cousin, quite amused by their interaction.

"What's with that look?" she hears Arjun whisper in her ear, sending shivers up her spine for some odd reason.

She bites her lip and gulps. "What look?" she whispers back, looking up at him, only slightly concerned by how close his face was.

"Your Cupid look. Or as I like to call it, the 'something bad is going to happen' look."

Nisha smacks his chest with the back of her hand and turns back to her friends, causing Arjun to chuckle. "Feisty."

The gang walks to the entrance of the Rai Prakash house, only to be greeted by Sharon. Rey is the first person to hug her. "Happy birthday!" he exclaims, twirling her around.

"Thanks Rey," says Sharon, smiling.

"Happy birthday," says Neha, offering Sharon a kind smile, as Aashi hands her a present. The two girls head to the party area, with Bharat following them.

"Thank you," whispers Sharon, even though they probably didn't hear her.

"Happy birthday Sharon!" says Swayam, with more enthusiasm than the others.

"Thanks Swayam!" exclaims Sharon, her face lighting up.

"Happy birthday Sharon di!" shouts Nisha, engulfing the older girl in a hug.

"Aw, thanks Nishu."

Soon, only Kriya and Taani are left. Taani gives her fake smile, as Kriya only glances at her. Before the two girls are out of earshot, Sharon yells, "Hey, Kripa!" Kriya, as well as Taani, turn back to look at Sharon. "You clean up nice."

The sisters look at each other strangely, and then turn around. "Did she compliment me, or insult me?" asks a confused Kriya.

"A little bit of both actually. I think it's her way of apologizing to you."

"What kind of logic is that?"

"Sharon logic?" The two girls look at each other and burst out laughing. They then go to find their friends.

...

Dance music blasts from the speakers, and everyone goes crazy. Except for Vrushika Rai Prakash that is. She's never been a party person, and she feels bad since it's her cousin's birthday party. But dancing like a maniac with sweaty strangers is just not her thing. She was planning on staying by punch table, hiding out.

That is until a she heard a voice say, "You look different." She turns around to see that the owner of the voice is none other than Swayam Shekhawat.

Vrushika chuckles. "Not by choice I can assure you!"

"I'm surprised that Sharon didn't throw a fit about your sneakers," he says, gesturing to her shoes.

"Oh believe me, she did! I just don't get it! We're out here where there's grass, and if I wear heels, they'll dig into the grass, and the whole thing will just be a pain in the ass."

"That's what I was trying to explain to Taani! Finally, someone with common sense."

Vrushika giggles and asks, "So, why exactly are you here?"

"I'm not really a party person. What about you?"

"Same as you; not really a party person." The two start chatting, somehow hearing each other over the music.

Elsewhere, everyone else is dancing up a storm. That is until Saara sees Karan. "What the hell is he doing here?" she mutters. Taani and Kriya look to where she is, and their eyes go wide.

"Did your cousin invite him?" asks a bewildered Taani.

Saara rolls her eyes. "She invited half the city. And now I have to spend my time avoiding my ex-boyfriend. Could my life get any worse?"

"Uh, Saara... you might not want to see this but... Karan is with someone," says Kriya, pointing to where Karan is.

Saara turns back to where her ex-boyfriend is and groans. "Asked and answered." She looks at him again, this time surrounded by even more girls, and yells, "Look at him! He's totally flirting. The eyebrow wiggle, the sparkly eyes, the playful smirk... I practically invented that!"

"Then how about you use it," says Kriya, a sly smirk appearing on her face.

"I see where you're going with this," says Saara, the same smirk now appearing on her face.

Taani looks at her two best-friends and sighs. "You guys..." she begins, but soon chucks it. "Ah, forget it!" She narrows her eyes at Saara like a mother would. "Flirt with nice, single guys only. No sleazebags, or guys who are taken. That's not going to end well, trust me."

"Okay, mom!" groans Saara, before walking off.

"So, do you think this will blow up in her face?" Taani asks Kriya once their friend is out of earshot.

"Probably, but she's Saara, she'll be fine. Now come on, let's get something to drink!"

The two girls head to the punch table. Kriya innocently chugs a glass of punch before her cousin could stop her, and then chugs another.

And another.

And another.

And another.

Taani slaps her forehead. This is a disaster, she thinks. And only gets worse when her sister makes her drink a glass of punch as well. Shit, thinks Taani, I can't stop myself after one drink! You'd think that after all these years, she would've developed a better tolerance for alcohol but no. Still can't stop herself after one drink, still gets drunk after - shit, this was her seventh drink.

Once both sisters are drunk out of their minds, a giggling Kriya asks, "Okay, what is in this punch?"

"Um... a lot of vodka!" exclaims Taani, also giggling.

"Are you guys okay?" Nisha asks her friends as she walks over to them.

"We're great!" exclaims Kriya. "Now come on Taani, let's go!"

As Nisha watches her two friends go, she says to herself, "Oh yeah, they're drunk." Then she remembers what Sharon told her and wonders, "But how?" She then goes over to the punch bowl, and immediately realizes that it's alcohol. "Of course. Vicky and Nilesh." Nisha leaves the punch table and marches around, looking for Vicky and Nilesh.

Until she bumps into Arjun that is. "Whoa there!" exclaims Arjun.

"Sorry," mumbles Nisha, walking away. Until Arjun grabs her wrist. "What do you want?"

Arjun lets go of her wrist and asks "How are you not drunk?"

"Well, I for one, can handle my alcohol," Nisha says smugly. Arjun raises an eyebrow at her and she groans. "Okay, that and I didn't drink of any of it."

"I wish everyone else was smart enough to do that."

"Yeah. From the looks of it, we're only ones here who are sober."'

"So, what should we do while our friends are drunk off their asses?"

"Let's go see what they're up to so we can tell them everything the next day. And of course blackmail them in the future if necessary."

"Are you being serious right now, because I really can't tell with you."

Nisha rolls her eyes. "Yes, I'm being serious Arjun."

"You are a dangerous girl."

"Aw, thank you," gushes Nisha, actually taking that as a compliment. "I learn from the best! And if you think I'm dangerous now, then you should really see me when I'm drunk."

"No thank you," says Arjun, following her.

...

Meanwhile, Taani had strayed away from Kriya. "Di?" she asks, looking around. Well, more like spinning round and round. Once she stops, she says, "Wow, I'm dizzy. Why am I dizzy?" She walks around, stumbling every now and then, until she stops at a tree. She looks up and sees a family of birds, causing her eyes and her mouth to widen. "Birdie!" she exclaims, jumping up and down.

She starts flapping her arms up in the air. She then stands on top of a bench, not on the seat but on top of the back, while screaming, "Wee! I'm a birdie!" Suddenly, she loses her balance and begins to fall. "But I'm a birdie!" she exclaims in protest to gravity, while struggling to keep her balance.

Just then, a strong pair of arms puts his hands at her waist, while standing in front of her. "Of course you are." He then helps her of the bench, but instead of having her stand, he takes her in his arms. "Now come on, let's get you home."

Once Taani sees the face of her savior, she immediately shouts, "No! You're a meanie!"

"I'm a meanie?" asks the savior, raising an eyebrow in amusement.

"Oh shut up Aarav! And put me down!"

"No, I don't trust you." Taani crosses her arms over her chest and huffs in defeat. Aarav chuckles, shaking his head. "Classic Taani."

While Taani was being taken care of by Aarav, Kriya was all alone in her world. Just sitting in a tree. Guess alcohol doesn't affect her expert climbing skills.

"Hey, Baatcutter!" shouts Rey, from down on the ground, just as drunk as Kriya.

"Ugh, why do always have ruin my perfectly good mood and peace and quiet?" demands Kriya, taking a weak branch off the tree and throwing it at Rey.

Luckily, Rey ducks so the flying branch misses him. He then glares at Kriya and shouts, "Are you trying kill me?!"

"Yeah, but it's not really working," says Kriya, as if it's the most normal response in the world.

"Well, just so you know, you're killing the poor tree, which hurts everything else in nature., which hurts Mother Nature."

"Aw, sorry tree," says Kriya, hugging the tree. She then looks down at Rey and yells, "Hey Singhania, I bet you can't climb up here!"

"I bet I can!"

"Prove it!" And with that, Rey starts climbing.

So, Taani was being taken care of by Aarav, and Kriya was sitting in a tree. Where's Saara you might ask? Why in her room of course! Just slightly drunk.

Saara flops onto her bed, and closes her eyes. When she opens them again though, she sees Karan towering over her. She quickly jumps up and demands, "What the hell, why are you here?!" She shoves him away, and keeps shoving him away while shouting, "Get out of here!" But Karan stops her from doing so by holding onto her wrists. "Let me go!" Karan simply stands there, continuing to hold her wrists, heightening Saara's anger. She pushes him against the wall with her wrists, and yells, "You're a jerk!"

"I'm the jerk?!" demands Karan, his voice booming throughout the room. "No, you're the jerk!"

"Me?!"

"Yes you! You say that you love me, and you're flirting with every single guy here."

"Oh really?" says Saara, wriggling her wrists out of his grip. "I've heard about the girls you date! Models, actresses, singers!" She turns around and walks towards her bed. "Don't be such a hypocrite."

They're silent for a moment, Saara and Karan, until Karan asks, "Did I mention the clown?"

Saara smiles and turns around. "You dated a clown?" she asks, as Karan walks over to her.

"Yeah, I did."

"Aw, that makes me feel better."

"See!" exclaims Karan, pulling her towards him. "I'm not that bad."

"No," whispers Saara, wrapping her arms around his neck and resting her head on his shoulder, "you're just the jerk who broke my heart."

Karan strokes her hair. "I know." He hugs her tighter and whispers, "I'm sorry."

Saara cups his face with one of her hands and says "I know." She uses her free hand to tug the collar of his shirt. She pulled so hard that they both landed on Saara's bed. They briefly look into each other's eyes, right before their lips meet.

...

Meanwhile, a very drunk Sharon was on a rampage. "I am going to kill them both!" she screams, fighting through crowds people to find her two idiots. Note to self, a drunk Sharon is much scarier than a sober Sharon. As she's rampaging, she stumbles upon none other than Shivam Dutta. "Whoa there Superbitch!" he exclaims as the girl falls into his arms.

Sharon looks up at the boy and squints. She then makes a face and says, "Ugh, it's you!"

"Wow, really feeling the love Sharon!"

"Shut up Monkeyface!" snaps Sharon, taking her hand and closing Shivam's mouth with her fingers.

Shivam slowly removes her claws from his face and says, "Well aren't you just full of compliments tonight?" Sharon gives him a fake smile, and begins to walk away. Shivam grabs her arm and asks "And where exactly do you think you're going?"

"To find Vicky and Nilesh," she says, as if it's the most obvious thing in the world.

"No you're not," says Shivam, in a slightly commanding voice.

"You're not the boss of me Dutta!" she shouts, crushing his toes with her heels.

Ignoring the pain, Shivam gently says, "Sharon, you're drunk. You need to sleep. Are you going to listen to me, or do I need to call Simmi?"

Sharon's eyes widen in panic, and she violently shakes her head. The only time Simmi can be really scary is when she goes into big sister/mama bear mode. Sharon lets Shivam drag her to her room without any more protests.

And where is the last of the Rai Prakash siblings? Why outside with Swayam of course! Except, she wasn't really drunk, and neither was Swayam. The two had decided to leave the party full of drunk people, and go take a walk.

"So, how much do you want to bet that Sharon di will kill Vicky and Nilesh tomorrow?" Vrushika asks Swayam as they're walking down the road.

"I will bet my entire life savings on the fact that she will destroy them," says Swayam, causing them both to burst out laughing.

"So, I guess you weren't exactly planning on spending the night entertaining the younger cousin of the love your life. Or your little sisters' new friend... whichever one works for you really."

"No, I was planning on spending the night entertaining my new friend," says Swayam, bumping his head against Vrushika's.

"We're friends?"

"Were you not aware of that fact until now?"

"Nope," Vrushika says awkwardly, sitting down on a bench. Swayam chuckles, and then realizes something.

He sits down beside Vrushika and asks, "Wait, how do you know that I'm in love with Sharon?"

Vrushika rolls her eyes. "The whole world knows you're in love with my cousin! Well, except for her." She then teasingly says, "Were you not aware of that until now?" Swayam gives her a look, and then bursts out laughing, which then causes Vrushika to burst out laughing as well.

Once they stop laughing, Vrushika says, "Okay look. I don't want to seem nosy or anything, but how - when... why did you fall in love with Sharon di?"

"Do you want me to answer in that specific order of how, when and why or..." Swayam says teasingly, causing Vrushika to smack him on the arm.

"I'm serious!" she says, giggling.

"Okay, okay!" Swayam says, throwing his arms in the air as a sign of surrendering.

"First day of school, ninth standard, was when I saw Sharon for the first time. It was impossible to miss her! Not only because she was just simply beautiful, but because everything about her seemed so magical - her voice, her laugh, her eyes. Even when she'd go out of her way to help people. But the one thing that made me really fall for her, was her smile. That moment when she smiled at me, it was... I don't think I'll ever experience something like that again. I fell for her, harder, each and every day. We became friends, good friends. But behind her smiling face, I could see how much pain she was really in, and all I've ever wanted to do is take that pain away. Even after she changed, and that smiling face was replaced with the death glare, I still see that pain! Except now, I see more of it."

"Wow," says Vrushika, after Swayam's done talking. "You really do love her!"

"Yeah, I do. And you know what, I even - never mind, it's silly."

"What's silly?" asks Vrushika, now curious.

"It's nothing."

"No, tell me!"

Swayam looks at the girl's pleading face and sighs. "Okay fine. I have this wishlist, five things to do with Sharon before I die. Well, actually, it was five things to do with the love of my life before I die, but since Sharon is love of my life..."

"Okay, so what are the five things?"

"Camping."

"Camping? You want to take my cousin camping?" Swayam gives her a look, and Vrushika says, "Sorry, continue."

"A tea date kind of thing. I'm not really sure, but it's a date, and there's going to be tea." Vrushika didn't have the heart to tell Swayam that Sharon hates tea, so she just nods her head, gesturing for him to continue. "Cooking."

"Cooking?! Like, are you cooking for her? Because I highly recommend you cook for her!" exclaims Vrushika, fearing for Swayam's life.

Swayam gives her a strange look and continues. "Bike race."

"Sharon di doesn't know how to ride a bike," Vrushika says meekly, but seeing Swayam's sad face, she quickly adds, "But she can always learn!" Swayam's face lights up when he hears this. "Now, what's the final thing?"

Suddenly, it starts to rain, and Swayam laughs. "Rain dance," he says, getting off the bench and spinning around.

"Are you crazy?! You'll get sick!"

"Who cares? Come on, dance with me!"

Vrushika's eyes widen. "No way!"

"Come on Vrushika, please! It'll be like helping me practice for when this happens with Sharon. Vrushika bites her lip and nervously looks at Swayam.

...

Meanwhile, Taani is throwing a fit inside Aarav's car. "Aarav please, it's raining! And I love dancing in the rain, please!" she pleads at the irritated driver.

"For the last time Taani, no!" Taani pouts like a child, and smirks mischievously. She reaches for the door handle, but the car door won't open. "I locked it genius." Taani glares at him, and crosses her arms over her chest.

Once they reach her house, Aarav gets Taani out of the car, and takes her in his arms. He doesn't exactly trust her to stand by him as he helps her walk. He gently kicks the front door, and Smriti opens it.

"Well it's about damn time -" Smriti begins to shout, but stops when she's Aarav.

"Hi aunty," Aarav says awkwardly, setting Taani on the ground, and handing her over to Smriti.

"Maasi!" exclaims Taani, giving Smriti a hug.

"Is she drunk?" demands Smriti.

"Aunty look, I think someone spiked the drinks or something because Karan told me that it's a non-alcoholic party, and practically everyone there was drunk. Plus, Sharon di's not the type of person to serve alcohol at her party."

Smriti nods and asks, "How did you find her?"

"I was just in the area."

Smriti raises her eyebrows, not believing him for a second, but goes along with it. "Thank you so much for bringing her home, but could you do me one more favor?"

"What is it?"

"Put her to sleep. You're kind of the only who can handle her when she's drunk."

Aarav smiles and says, "No problem aunty."

He takes Taani in his arms once again and says, "Come on Taani. Let's get you to bed."

"Let go of me you meanie!" she screams, as Aarav simply says, "No."

Once the two are in Taani and Kriya's room, Smriti says to herself, "If they have alcohol at their wedding, it will be a very interesting wedding." She closes the door behind her and chuckles, ignoring Taani's dramatic shrieks of "help I'm being held hostage by a weirdo!"

Aarav puts Taani down on what he assumes is her bed, since her teddy bear and favorite pillow are on it.

"Alright, time to go to bed."

"No!"

Aarav raises an eyebrow. "No?"

"No," repeats Taani, a smug smile on her face.

Aarav then takes Taani's teddy bear and asks, "Not even for her royal highness, Queen Penelope of Asgard, the Third? You know she can't sleep without you." He puts Queen Penelope in front of his face and changing his voice. "The big fat meanie's right Princess Taani, I need you!" Taani looks at the teddy bear, and then grabs her. She hugs her to her chest, and gets into a sleeping position.

Aarav smiles, and is about to leave when Taani grabs his wrist. Aarav looks at her, and gets down on his knees.

"Queen Penelope may need me, but I need you. Please don't leave." Aarav frees his hand from Taani's grip and looks at her face. He sighs and gets in bed beside her. He cups her cheek and softly says, "I know you hate me for what I'm doing, but I'm doing it for you, I promise."

"But I miss you," says Taani, tears threatening to fall from her eyes.

"I know," says Aarav, his voice barely above a whisper. "But I'm trying to protect you. All I've ever done is ruin your life Taani, not anymore."

"You're an idiot," Taani says, her eyes starting to close.

"I know, but I have to do this. And it's hard for me too." Aarav checks to make sure Taani's asleep before he whispers, "It's especially hard for me because I think I might just be falling in love with you." He kisses her forehead, and tries to remove his arm from underneath Taani's head, but fails to do so. Soon, he too, falls asleep.

...

Once Rey was finally sitting beside Kriya on the tree, he sees her looking at something and asks "What are you looking at?"

Kriya points to where she's looking. "Look at the lights."

"What about the lights?" asks a confused Rey.

"Red, green, yellow, then red again. It's so pretty!"

Rey looks at her as if she's grown another head. "That's really stupid."

Kriya turns to face him, and glares. "You're stupid!" she shouts, shoving him, causing him to fall off of the tree. Luckily, Rey had grabbed one of the lower branches in his drunken state, before dropping on the ground.

"You could've killed me!" he shouts up at Kriya.

"My bad!" shouts Kriya, continuing to look at the traffic lights. Rey glares up at her, and starts to shake the tree, causing Kriya to fall as well.

Except Kriya had fallen right on top of Rey. "Ow," groans Rey. "Get off!"

Kriya quickly gets off of Rey's back, and he slowly sits up. She then crosses her arms over her chest and snaps, "Serves you right!"

Soon, Kriya starts to shiver because of the rain. Rey notices this, and hands her his leather jacket. "Well, aren't you a gentlemen," Kriya says sarcastically. "I don't need it."

"You're freezing moron," drawls Rey, putting the jacket around her shoulders.

They sit silence for a while. Then Rey asks, "Why do hate me so much?"

Kriya gives Rey a strange look and softly says, "I don't know."

She sighs and looks at Rey. "Maybe it's the fact that you think that you're all that. You know, you're cocky, you're arrogant, you're full of yourself, and... ph, you're a total flirt!"

"Sounds to me like you're jealous," Rey says teasingly, coming really close to Kriya.

"See, there you go again! And you do that weird thing with your eyes. They get all sparkly and twinkly like stars, and they look really pretty. Oh, and your smile! It's so annoying, and cocky, and it just makes me want to smack you really hard!"

"Please don't," says Rey, slightly scared.

He then says, "And you're not a bottle of sunshine either you know."

"Excuse me?"

"You do that scary thing with your eyes, where you glare and narrow your eyebrows, and it gives me nightmares like all the time."

Kriya's eyes go as wide as saucers. "You think my eyes are scary?"

Rey stares innocently into her eyes. "Well, not right now. Right now they look different. I like it."

"And your smile isn't making me want to smack you. You should smile like this more often."

"Yeah," Rey breathes out, leaning towards her. Kriya slowly close her eyes as she feels Rey's lips touch hers. She doesn't stop him, and he doesn't pull away. Kriya lets her fingers run through his hair, as Rey grabs hip and brings her closer to him, causing her to practically sit on his lap. And in that moment, they weren't two people who despised each other, or wanted to kill each other. They were just Rey and Kriya, and that's all that mattered.

...

"Sharon, I'm serious right now, go to bed!" Shivam shouts for the hundredth time. Sharon stops jumping on her bed and starts to whimper. She grabs a pillow and hits Shivam with it.

"You stupid Monkeyface, you yelled at me!"

"I shouted, there's a difference," says Shivam, as Sharon continues to hit him with her pillows.

"That's it!" he growls, taking the pillow from Sharon and holding both arms behind her back.

"That hurts!" whines Sharon.

"I don't care. Now tell me what I can do to make you go to sleep."

Sharon thinks for a moment and smirks. "Tell me a story."

"Excuse me?" Shivam asks, as if Sharon had asked him to strip for her.

"A story. You know, once upon a time, and they all lived happily ever after, the end... that sort of crap."

Shivam groans and lets go Sharon's arms. "Fine, I'll tell you a story. But you have to lie down, and be quiet." Sharon does as she's told, as Shivam goes and grabs a chair. Once Shivam sits down on the chair, Sharon groans. "What?"

"I have to throw out my favorite chair tomorrow."

"Why?"

"Because your butt touched it you butthead!" exclaims Sharon, as if it's the most obvious thing in the world.

Shivam closes his eyes, and takes a deep breath, reminding himself that going to jail for murder is the last thing he wants to do right now. "Okay, so once upon a time -" begins Shivam, but gets cut off by Sharon who shouts "Boring!"

That was the last straw.

"You want a story Rai Prakash, I'll give you a story! Once upon a time, there was a Superbitch named Sharon Rai Prakash. One night, she had sex with someone. The next day, that someone got expelled from St.Louis because of her. The. F**king. End!"

Shivam gets up with such force that the chair falls over. Shivam puts it back where he found it, and opens the door to leave.

But something stops him.

The sound of Sharon crying.

He sighs, and walks back to her bed. He gets on his knees and awkwardly says, "Hey, is the great Sharon Rai Prakash crying?" That makes Sharon cry even harder. "Okay, look, I'm sorry."

"Don't say sorry! Why do people keep apologizing to me when it's all my fault?!"

"I don't know. But hey, at least you threw a great party right?" Sharon stops crying. "How about you go to sleep now Sharon?"

"Okay," whispers Sharon.

Shivam takes her shoes off, and covers her up with a blanket. He slightly smiles at Sharon, before deciding to write her a note. Once he's done, he leaves the note on her desk, right in front of her teddy bear. He then softly closes the door behind him as he leaves.

Meanwhile, Swayam is still trying to get Vrushika to dance with him. "Come on, please!"

"No!" says Vrushika, who is currently standing under a tree, completely dry.

"Ah f**k it!" says Swayam, grabbing her by the wrist and pulling her towards him.

Vrushika closes her eyes as the cold rain completely soaks her. She nervously opens her eyes. "See, was that so bad?" asks Swayam.

She gives him a sheepish smile. "No." He twirls her around, causing her to laugh.

"Hey, you don't think your sisters are drunk or something right?" asks Vrushika, as she and Swayam slowly begin to sway.

"No way! My sisters are way too smart to do something stupid like that."

"Ah... I was just asking because my sister is stupid enough to do something like that." This causes Swayam to laugh.

"So, Sharon won't kill me because I'm keeping you out until midnight or anything right?" Swayam asks nervously.

Vrushika chuckles. "No, I think you're safe loverboy."

While Vrushika was dancing with a gentleman, Nisha was dealing with an idiot.

"I'm telling you Arjun, Saara and Vrushika are both in their rooms! Where else could they be?"

"I don't know, I'm just worried!"

"Relax! They're big girls."

"I suppose you're right..." begins Arjun, but he begins to trail off when he sees something he never thought he'd see.

"What the heck?!" Nisha turns to where he's looking, and her jaw drops.

"Is that Kriya?! Kissing my cousin?!"

"I think so," says Arjun, still in shock.

"Wow. I knew I saw chemistry between them, but I didn't think they'd be so quick with each other."

Arjun turns to her and immediately says, "No! You are not going to play Cupid for them."

"Why not?"

"Because it's best to just let things work out for themselves."

"But sometimes, people need a little push."

"Are we really going to argue about this right now?"

"Yes!" Arjun starts to walk away from her, with her walking after him shouting, "Don't walk away from me when I'm talking to you Juno!"

That my friends, was Sharon Rai Prakash's nineteenth birthday party. So the moral of the story here is, always double check the punch bowl. Especially if you have friends like Nilesh and Vicky.

Oh Nilesh and Vicky...
