Pranitha's POV

It's been a few days since I've seen Vishwa and Ishan. I haven't seen them around campus either. Then again, its not like I've been looking anyways.

I walk into the cafe from the staff room in the back.

"Hey Pranu." Seth greets me.

"Hey." I wave back. There is no one there except a woman, who is sitting in a corner. She's on her phone, sipping something.

"Hey Seth. Hey Pranu." Amy says, walking in.

"Ames!" I say, going over to hug her. "It's been so long!"

"Yea. I've had this huge project, so i couldn't come." she says.

"Hey." Seth says to her.

"Hey. Did you guys watch the new movie of Suriya's?" Amy asks.

"No, did you!" I ask her.

"No. Hey, how 'bout we all go to the movie Saturday?" she asks Seth and I.

"Sure. I'm free." Seth replies.

"Yea, me too." I reply.

"How about the others?" Amy asks.

"No clue. Text it in the chat." I say.

We have a group chat with Amy, Seth, Zaara, Divya, Vaidehi, Sanjay, Karthik, Shrey, and me. I hear my phone ping. I look at it and see that Amy had just texted in the chat, asking if everyone was available on Saturday.

"Well, lets hope they say yes, because I really wanna watch Suriya and Samantha." I squeal.

"Yea, me too!!" Amy squeals.

"Yea, me three" Seth says in a high-pitched girly voice.

We all burst out laughing. Amy is also half Indian, and so is Seth. I know, coincidence. Both are very nice. I have a feeling Seth might like Amy though. As something more than just a friend. I make a mental note to ask him later when Amy is not around.

Amy is looking through her phone.

"Dude!!!!!!!!!! There is also a Nithin movie coming outttt Saturday too!" she squeals.

"Nithin with who?" I ask, curious.

"Samantha." she replies.

"Ooooh Yes."

"Wait, which one are we gonna go to though?" Seth asks, confused.

"Great question Seth." I say.

"No clue." Amy tells him.

"Both?" I suggest.

"Huh?" they both look at me.

"We can watch them back to back on Saturday if everyone is ok. Or we can go to one this week and the other next week or something." I say.

"Yea, why not?" Amy answers.

"I'm ok with it." Seth adds in.

"Great." I say, asking the others in the chat. The bells chime, and we all turn to the door. Vishwa and Ishan walk in. I turn around quickly and look at Seth, who looks back at me.

"Ames, can you please take that?" I ask her, still not turning around. She nods and walks over to them. After a few minutes, she comes back.

"Pranu, they want you." she says to me.

"The fuck? Why me?" I ask.

"They said you know their order."

"Oh. Take a vanilla chai, a cinnamon muffin, and a Caramel latte." I say. Amy nods. Seth glares at Vishwa and Ishan's table angrily.

"Seth, leave it." I say calmly, gently placing my hand on his shoulder.

Seth gets angry very easily. He is three years older than me, and is practically the older brother that I've never had. He thinks of me as a younger sister, and is very protective of me, especially since the incident with Amy's ex.

Amy takes the order, and comes back. "The one with the yellow hoodie's asking to talk to you." she says. I turn to see who was wearing the yellow hoodie. Vishwa.

Why does he need to talk to me?  I wonder.

I walk over to the table.

"What?" I ask Vishwa.

"Um..." he says.

"Vishwa, what do you need?" I ask impatiently.

"What course are you taking?" he asks.

"Huh?" I ask, confused.

"What are you studying?" he asks.

"Medicine. Why?"

"Oh."

"That's what you had to say to me?" I ask, annoyed.

"Um..."

The bell chimes, but I keep looking at Vishwa. Why does he seem nervous?

"Pranu." I hear behind me.

"What!" I say sharply, turning around to see Shrey.

"Pranu, we kinda need you." Shrey says.

"Why?" I ask.

"Vai and another person are trying to act, and like we're dying." he replies.

"That's why you fucking came all the way here? To tell me that? You could've called!" I say, fuming.

"I knew that you wouldn't have lifted the call. And it's an emergency!" he says.

"How the hell is that an emergency?!" I yell at him.

He looks down. "Sorry." he says quietly. "Zaara said that you can help."

I roll my eyes. "Why me?" Shrey just shrugs.

"Ames, can you take over my shift for today?" I ask Amy.

"Yea, sure." she nods. I stomp into the back, hang up my apron, and grab my bag, walking back into the cafe.

"Let's go." I say to Shrey. I get into my car as he gets into his.

**Back at the Dorms**

I knock on Vaidehi's door.

"Its open." I hear her call from inside. Walking into the room, I see the entire group there, as well as a new guy.

"What's going on?" I ask.

"They need help." Zaara says.

"Gimme the script." I say to Vai. She gives me a copy of the script. I look at it.

"Blocked version?" I ask, holding my hand out while reading the one in my hand. I don't recieve anything. I look up at Vai.

"Blocked script?" I ask again.

"I don't know how to block it." she says. "That's why we need your help."

"Dude. You are the one taking theater!" I exclaim.

"Yea, but the teacher had only had us watch plays for the past month." she says.

"So?!"

"This is out first project, she wants us to try it by ourselves."

"Bruhhhhhh." I groan.

"What is the project?" I ask her.

"We have to create two scripts, one happy and one sad. Makeup, props, costumes, all have to be done for the final one, which is not due till next month before break. Oh, and it also has to do be from a movie. So like she needs the scene from the movie and us acting it." she tells me.

"Oh." I say, reading the script.

Happy:

V: I love you so much.

A: Me too. I love you so much.

V: I am so happy we met.

A: Yea, me too.

I stop reading the script and look up.

"Bruhh!!!" I say.

"What?" Vai says.

"What is this?!?!" I almost yell. Note, I said almost. I am trying really hard not to kill someone right now.

"A happy love script?" she replies.

"Sad script?" I ask.

She hands it to me and I look at it.

V: Please, take me somewhere. Marry me!

A: I can't.

V: Why? You said you love me!

A: I said I can't!

"Please hand me a knife." I say, holding my hand out.

"Huh? Why do you need a knife?" the new dude asks.

"And you are...?" I ask him.

"I'm Aryan, Vai's partner." he replies.

"Well, Aryan. What do you use a knife for?" I ask him.

"To cut vegetables?" he answers uncertainly.

"And?" I ask.

"And?" he echoes.

"To kill people." I answer for him.

"Oh. Who do you want to kill?" he casually asks.

"You first, then her." I say, pointing at him first and then at Vai.

"Woah, calm down Pranu." Shrey says to me.

"When is this due?" I ask Vai, ignoring Shrey.

"Next Friday is the final, blocked script, and at least one trial run." she answers.

"I'm making the scripts tonight." I say, after looking at the time. It's 5 now. I already have a movie in mind, so it won't be that hard.

"You sure?" Aryan asks. I nod.

"Yea. I have nothing else to do anyways." I reply.

"How about your work?" Vai asks.

"It's not due until next week, and I'm almost done too." I reply.

"Oh ok. Thank you so much." she says.

"No prob. Well, imma go and get started then. We can do this tomorrow or next week, text me when and where." I say.

"Sure." Vai and Aryan reply.

"K. Bye people." I say, walking out the door with Zaara.

"Guess you're gonna use A.Aa?" she asks, referring to one of my all-time favorite rom-com. It's pretty rare that I take a liking to a rom-com, but this one is amazing. I grin and she just shakes her head.
