Alia's P.O.V
As soon as I had called Parineeti, she told me about Arjun. She had spent some time with him last night and the poor girl was hopelessly in love with the Ishaqzaade actor.

"And then he asked me about my love life! And I obviously couldn't tell him about my feelings because that would ruin it right?", Parineeti asked me.

"I think you should tell him. After all he-"

She interrupted me. "Oh no, no I can't do that. What if he doesn't feel the same? Then all of this will be gone and I can't handle that. To be honest, I quite like what we have now. We're catching up a lot and I like that. And of course I want it to be more than just catching up..."

"Parineeti, I've seen the way he looks at you. I'm sure he feels the same for you as you do for him.", I said. Parineeti and Arjun were meant to be.

"Nope. He's just being friendly and-"

"So behaving friendly is sleeping in each other's arms, teasing each other mercilessly, always helping each other, kissing your cheeks like every time he sees you, hugging you randomly and you both blush when you're around each other. Parineeti, it's obvious!", I almost screamed in the phone.

"Okay maybe it's a bit more than friends, but we've not really defined our friendship. And we're definitely not lovers so yeah..", she confessed.

"Hmm fine. I need to go now. My new director is waiting for me.", I said.

"Mr. Musk?"

"Yeah. Ever since the whole Karan thing happened, I don't want to work with him again. And apparently I'm not the only one. Almost the entire industry threw him out.", I said.

"Yeah true. Anyways, good luck. I'll catch you later Alia."

"Bye Parineeti!"

"Bye Alia!"

I hung up the phone and made my way to the office. I opened the doors and I saw Mr. Musk sitting behind his desk, working on his computer.

He looked up at me and smiled. "Good morning Ms. Bhatt! You're right on time!"

"Please call me Alia. Pleasure to meet you.", I said and we shook hands.

"Alia it is then. So Alia, would you like some coffee or tea?", he said while walking to his huge coffee machine and making a cappuccino for himself.

"No, thank you. I'm good."

"Well, you can call me John. Thats easier.", he said. He went to sit down again and cleared out his desk. He cleaned up a little bit.

"Please don't mind the mess. I'm a bit of a chaotic person", he confessed with a smile.

"It's okay. I'm a bit of a chaotic person as well." I chuckled.

"So, we've got a huge project coming up", he whispered. "I actually can't let you know about this but I'm way to excited to just not tell you."

John handed me a script. One night. It was a beautiful story about 6 friends who were trapped inside a house with a unknown creature which was trying to kill them.They bond in order to survive while the threat is coming closer. At the end of the night they escape, but their thoughts and feelings about each other have all changed.

I smiled thinking of what one night can do. I still remember the night I met Varun. He was an complete ass and immediately challenged me. We both failed miserably at the challenge and we laughed so hard at each other. That night I came to know how he truly was and I started to like him...

"So? You like it?", John asked me, snapping me out of my trance.

"I love it. Thriller and friendship. Sounds amazing. I'll take it.", i said.

"Now? I mean, great, but don't you wanna take a look at the script first? Properly you know, take it home and read the whole thing through?", John asked, unsure of himself.

I smiled fondly. "I'm sure of it John. I love it. I'll take the role."

He smiled. "Well, that's easily settled then. Nice to meet you Alia. I like you."

I smiled at John. "Likewise"

As soon as I had shook his hands, I left and was headed to my sweet fiancé.

Varun 's P.O.V
"So you wanna bring the old crew back together?", I spoke into my phone.

"Yeah, I'm in. Sounds fun!"

"Good", Shraddha laughed at the other side. "I thought that you'd say yes already. I can't wait. It'll be so much fun!"

"Duh! It's us! Of course it'll be fun. I'll go and tell Alia as well. I'm sure she'll love it as well."

"Okay, do that. Thanks Varun. I'll see you soon."

"No need to say thanks silly. I'd do anything for you. Bye Shrads!"

I heard her chuckle slightly at the other end of the phone before she hung up.

I smiled at the thought of us living all together again. Breakfast had been so much fun and we pranked each other so much. Fed Parineeti some hot peppers which she didn't notice until she literally jumped out of her chair and started screaming. And I used to hide Alia's pillows somewhere in the mansion so she had to either search for them until midnight or give me a kiss and I'd tell her the location of the pillows.

I yawned and went back to my bed. It was an early Saturday - well it was 10 o'clock- and I couldn't think of a better time to spend time than to catch up with Strangers Things.

I curled up in my bed and turned the lights off, the only light in my room coming from the tv.

Just as the intro had finished, I heard the doorbell. I mentally groaned and dragged myself out of bed, to the front door.

I put my best happy face on, not wanting to show that I didn't want to have any visitors at all now, and opened the door.

I saw Alia standing on the other side and smiled.

"Come in, Alu", I said and I gave her a kiss. She smiled and took her coat and shoes off.

I walked towards my bed again and Alia followed me.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Didn't know you were sleeping. Silly, I should've called beforehand.", she said.

"It's fine, I was watching Stranger Things. Come here"

She slipped into the bed, next to me and curled up into my side. She murmured a few words.

"What?"

"I just can't believe you'd watch without me. We watch together!"

"I know Alu. But I fell asleep last time remember?", I said. I was so tired last week that I couldnt keep my eyes open.

"I know Vee. I put you in bed, remember?", she mimicked me.

I rolled my eyes. Alia let out a yawn. "You make me sleepy Vee.."

"Then sleep. We've got lots of time. How did your meeting go with your new director?", I asked.

"He's called John. And he's super sweet and chill. He offered me a project called One Night and I said yes because I absolutely loved it."

"Sounds good Alu."

"It does.."

"Shraddha wants us all to live in the same house again.", I blurted after some time. "You in?"

"Always", she said in a muffled voice.

I carefully looked over to the girl next to me. She had closed her eyes and was happily snuggled into my side.

"I love you Alu"

"Love you too Vee"

Sidharth's P.O.V
I was having lunch with Parineeti. We were sitting at our favourite cafe.

"I love spaghetti...", she said with happiness twinkling in her eyes. I laughed.

"You say that with almost everything you eat.", I pointed out.

"Oh my god, I love this pizza, I love this  salad, I love this pasta", I mimicked her.

She slapped me playfully. "But Sid, you gotta admit, pizza is just life."

"And what about the rest?"

"It's good as well."

We talked and we talked. We had decided to hangout since we didn't had done that in forever.

Suddenly my phone rang. I took a look at the screen and saw that Shraddha was calling me.

"Go ahead, pick up Romeo.", Parineeti said while putting a bit of spaghetti in her mouth.

I unlocked the phone. "Hey Shraddha, what's up?"

"Hi Sid! Do you have some time? I want to ask you something."

I looked at Parineeti but she gestured me to go ahead and take my time.

"Yeah, I've time. What's up Shrads?", I asked her again

"See, I miss our old crew and the way we lived together. So I wanted to get the old crew back together. Arjun, Varun and Alia already know. Arjun and Varun agreed, and Varun is telling Alia. She'll probably agree too. And I was wondering if you wanted to join as well?"

"Well, Yeah. I'd love to."

"Awesome. I'll just call Parineeti and-"

"Wait a sec." I muted the phone call.

I turned to Parineeti. "Hey, would you mind living with me and the rest again."

"The rest being?"

"Alia, Varun, Arjun, Parineeti, Shraddha and I?"

"You're sure you want to live in one house again? It'll be filled with chaos!"

I smiled. "Yes, I know silly. But that's what I like. After all, perfect is boring and living with you guys again is like a dream again."

"Sure. Whatever you say. But don't come to me when someone stole your pillows, made you ate pepper, or secretly made photos of you while you were asleep!"

"Yeah yeah. We both know you love it as well. I'm in.", I said.

"Well good because I'm in as well."

"Great", I smiled.

I picked up the phone again.

"Parineeti says she's in. We're all set."

"How did you-"

I interrupted Shraddha. " I'm having lunch with her now"

"Oh okay. Well enjoy then"

"Thanks"

We said our goodbyes and then Parineeti and I continued eating, talking about our experiences in the house, this time leading the conversation somewhere else.

Chapter 2 ladies and gentlemen!

They're all gonna move into one house again!! Drama and fun guaranteed!

I actually wanted to repeat that this book will be updated once in a week so be patient.

It'll be worth it though.

Stay happy, smiling and don't let stupid people ruin your life.

Love❣️
