Segment #22

Chahat sat on her study desk, she put down the dates of assignment submission. She looked at the books, they didn't seem appealing enough. 

Google Scholar. She typed on the browser. Asexual. She started reading the articles and ended up in a rabbit-hole with more questions than answers. 

Queer Webtoons

She browsed through the entire webtoon and they made her happy. She related to the little blobs. 

Her phone chimed. A message from Nick, her face lit up.

-*-

Meera looked at the signup sheet. About 50 students had given their names for the Queer Collective so far. She made a quick poster for the first event. Screening of the 2014 docudrama, "Pride" this Friday followed by a discussion. 

-*-

Friday.

After the screening, most eyes were teary. Some of joy, others of pain and longing. 

Chahat looked around, Aryan and Saheel were holding hands. She saw Nick with Zaheed and smiled at them. 

"Thoughts? People!" Prof. Bansal opened the floor for a discussion.

"Ma'am, are all the events in this documentary real?" A first-year student asked.

"No. Some of these are dramatised but most of it is authentic."

"Ma'am, is every woman really a lesbian at heart?"

"I mean-" Rhea chimed in. "Have you seen women? Why not?"

"Damn, Ri!" Chahat chuckled. 

"This idea is quite problematic-" Prof. Bansal began. "But funny, nonetheless." 

"It is interesting how even after all these years, with whatever progress the society, the laws have made, we still haven't been able to remove the prejudices inherent in people." Aryan said. 

"And even though, love is love, and all humans were created equal, they alway see and treat us as someone less than human." Saheel added. 

Zaheed stood up. "As an ally, I would like to know how we could help."

"Firstly, don't be a silent spectator when you see a queer person being bullied." Gautam continued. "Educate yourself and help in raising awareness as well." 

Prof. Bansal looked at the healthy discussion her students were having, a satisfactory smile crept up her lips.

The webtoon is 3-4 panel each. It really succinctly and easily explains the different gender identities as well as sexual orientations. Do go through it :)

Segment #23

Saheel looked up to see Aryan chewing on his pen, his attention on the book. The birds were chirping and the evening sun was slowly making its way back in the clouds. He was never assigned a roomate even though his room was for two people. It was nice having someone in the room, that someone being Aryan.

If someone had told him about two months ago, during the start of their semester that he'd be dating Aryan, Saheel would have laughed in their face and direct their attention to Aryan flirting with some girl. He could never really pin point when he started developing feelings for Aryan, but seeing him with girls used to break his heart. He had downloaded Grindr just in hopes of finding someone who could help him move on, but to date, he didn't know how Vikram got hold of his phone and of Aryan's profile.

"You look cute when you smile, Saheel."

"Yeah, umm... Thanks," 14-year-old Saheel smiled at a classmate and sat next to his best friend.

"Dude, she was flirting with you." Faruq nudged him.

"I got that!" Saheel shook his head, his attention suddenly more on the chapter about Colonialism in their history textbook.

"Then why didn't you do anything? You should have asked her out. We could go on a double date."

"I...am not interested." He answered, avoiding Faruq's eyes. Faruq shrugged and took the textbook for himself. 

Was he so good at lying to Faruq that Faruq didn't catch on to the biggest truth he had been hiding from him?

Aryan looked up and raised his eyebrow. Saheel shook his head.

"Who is Faruq?" Aryan asked and he looked at him, shocked.

"What? Who?"

"You follow him on Instagram, he even tagged you in a few pictures." 

"Nobody, just an old classmate." Saheel shrugged.

"Is there an ex I should be worried about?" Aryan asked as he sat on his bed.

"You should worry about this assignment, it's so boring!" Saheel dropped his head on table, hoping Aryan would drop the topic.

"Also, stop stalking me on Instagram!"

Faruq's lips against his own in the locker room, his eyes looking down into his eyes and their heart beating in sync, Saheel never forgot that feeling, when though over seven years had passed.

_____

In my head they broke up simply because his religion doesn't allow it and Saheel never took it well (he was just 14) and it somewhat impacted his confidence 

Oooffff what an segue!!! Loved it!! First love memories  it was bittersweet. ❤️ but loved the way you wrote it. Really cute ❤️

P.s. Your segment will be #23 😳

Loved the vibe of the queer collective meeting 😳

It was good to see Zaheed too, his DJing skills will definitely be needed if there is a fest.

Also, loved Nick and Chahat's chat convo

Lovely segment, Shibz! I loved how you tied the scene on insta with how Vikram found out about Aryan and Saheel were gay. I am intrigued about Saheel's ex

Why the current one is always worried about the ex? He is an ex for a reason my dear Aryan. 😎

Bring the ex, Faruq, he looks like a decent man. 

Lovely segments both of you. There weren't any queer groups in my clg, that was years back though. It's nice to see people are really accepting them more openly. 

Saheel's past seems a bad one. Would love to read that. Sadist here. 😛

I liked how you gave a small snippet about it, leaving so much to infer.
