Third person pov

After a week, Isha and Aditi had settled well into school and had become friends with Rasha and her gang.

Shrey was sitting near the canteen with Rahul and Rishabh. "It's egg Maggi in the canteen today. It was Nimisha's favorite." Shrey said. Rishabh is sitting between Rahul and Shrey.

"Listen, Shrey, Nimisha is my girlfriend, so be chill." Rahul said calmly.

"You look so calm, man. Don't you miss her. ?" Rishabh asked.

"I miss her a lot, but I can't just sit and cry." Rahul replied.

"Point noted. What do you do when you miss her.?" Shrey asked.

"I just close my eyes and remember our happy moments, that's it." Rahul said with a smile.

Shrey spotted Shubman and Ayush near the canteen and called them over. They approached, and Shrey took a letter out of his bag, placing it inside a book. "Listen, you know what you need to do, right.?" Shrey asked them.

"Bro, come on, this isn't the first time we're doing this." Ayush said, taking the book.

"Be careful." Rahul warned.

"Don't worry, bhai. We'll give this book to Aishani, and she'll pass it to Nivya di. Simple." Shubman said with a smile. "Bhai, when is Mom coming to see us.?"

"This weekend. Why.?" Rahul asked.

"Just feeling a bit homesick, that's all." Shubman replied before leaving with Ayush. Rahul stared at Shrey.

"What.?" Shrey asked.

"Seriously, Shrey, you need to stop sending those love letters to Nivya through the juniors. It could cause a lot of trouble for them." Rahul said.

"Yeah, Rahul is right. What if they get into serious trouble while delivering the notes.?" Rishabh added.

"Oh, please. You're both being dramatic. It's not like they're risking detention or anything. It'll be fine." Shrey argued.

"It's not just about being fine. What if a letter gets mixed up or lost? It could lead to misunderstandings or even worse, get the juniors into trouble. Remember, we're involving junior girls here, not just boys." Rahul said.

"Alright, I get your point. But come on, it's not like I'm doing anything wrong. I'll find another way." Shrey agreed.

"Thank you. By the way, what was written in that letter.?" Rahul asked.

"Nothing much. We had a fight a few days ago because she was giving me the silent treatment." Shrey explained.

Rishabh started laughing. "When was the last time you both talked normally.?" Shrey and Rahul exchanged glances and then put their hands on Rishabh's shoulders.

"So, Rishabh sir, enough about my love story. Tell me about yours." Shrey grinned.

"What love story? I'm single right now." Rishabh said, avoiding eye contact.

"Why are you looking around? I know how you behave when you're around Isha." Rahul teased.

Shrey joined in the teasing. "Yeah, I've also seen how your eyes sparkle around her."

"It's nothing like that." Rishabh blushed, noticing Isha and Aditi approaching. "Guys, she's coming over. Please behave." Shrey and Rahul removed their hands as Isha and Aditi arrived.

"Hi, guys." Isha said.

"Hi. You both are here. Where's Rasha.?" Rishabh asked.

"Rasha is with Atul, so we came." Aditi replied.

"Atul? That new guy? Rasha seems to be spending a lot of time with him." Rahul said.

"Oh, she was just asking him about a math problem. That's it." Isha said as Rasha joined them.

"Maths doubt solved.?" Shrey asked.

"Almost. He's good at solving math problems." Rasha said.

"You need to teach me." Isha said. Rasha nodded.

"Teach me too." Rahul added. Rasha smiled.

"Guys, I'm hungry." Rasha said, heading towards the canteen. Isha and Aditi followed her.

"Rahul, I feel like Rasha is avoiding you. What happened between you two. ?" Shrey asked.

"I feel the same." Rishabh agreed.

Rahul recalled the Ooty incident. "Nothing much. She's still upset about what happened during the exams, so she's been distant," Rahul lied, though he was also unsure why Rasha was avoiding him, he thought "I need to talk to her about this."

The bell rang, and everyone went back to their classes.

During the library period, Rahul searched for Rasha to talk. The library was quiet, interrupted only by the sound of pages turning. Rahul wandered through the aisles until he spotted Rasha sitting in a corner, absorbed in her studies. He approached her cautiously.

"Rasha" he began, his voice almost a whisper in the quiet space.

Rasha looked up, her eyes meeting his before looking away. "Hi, Rahul," she replied, her tone polite but distant.

"I need to talk to you. It's important," Rahul said.

Rasha sighed and closed her book. "I'm not sure there's much to say."

"Please, we need to." Rahul said, sitting beside her. "I know things have been awkward since the Ooty trip. I just want to understand what's going on."

Rasha looked at him, her eyes reflecting a mix of sadness and frustration. "What's there to understand? I think it's pretty clear."

"It's not clear to me." Rahul said, leaning forward. "After that day in Ooty, you've been avoiding me. I want to know why."

She hesitated, tracing the edges of her book. "Rahul, it's complicated. We had a moment. We almost kissed, and I didn't want things to become awkward between us. You're my best friend's boyfriend, so I thought it was best to distance myself."

Rahul's expression softened. "Nimisha is still my love. She's changed schools, and I still love her. But I'm thinking about us and our friendship."

Rasha's eyes widened slightly. "So, what does that mean for us?"

"It means," Rahul said slowly, "that I've realized how important our friendship is. I don't want to lose that. But I also don't want to be in a situation where we're both uncomfortable."

"I didn't want to lose our friendship either, but I was unsure how to handle everything. I didn't want to cause any more drama." Rasha said.

"Look," Rahul looks at her eye, "let's figure this out together. I value you and our friendship too much to let it fall apart because of misunderstandings. Let's forget what happened that day."

Rasha's eyes met his. "Okay, let's not complicate things between us. Friends again?" She extended her hand.

"Friends." Rahul said, shaking her hand.

Later, in the boy's hostel, everyone was almost asleep. Shubman's room light was still on.

Ishan, irritated and sleepy, murmured, "Please, sleep, Shub. We don't have tests. Why are you studying late at night.?"

Shubman, sitting at his desk, replied, "Just a couple more minutes." He placed the letter in the book, closed it, and whispered, "I hope this letter reaches Aish." He put the book in his bag and went to sleep.
