Third-person-pov

Everyone came back to school after enjoying the mid-term holidays for three weeks, they started practicing for interschool sports as the time is less.

Ayush was giving his birthday party treat to his friends, Rahul and his gang , Dhvani and Aishani were also present, Nivya hasn't arrived yet to the school.

Ishan looked around and didn't find Poorva so he asked Ayush "Ayush, did you called Poorva or not.?"

"I invited her bro, she didn't even looked at him, what to do.?" Ayush said.

"She is ignoring me, I called her on phone during holidays but no response and she didn't even messaged me back." Nimisha said.

Everybody looked at Rishabh who was eating Pastry "Why you all looking at me? , like this, I called her many times to say sorry, and messaged her sorry, keeping my ego aside, but she didn't replied back to me also." Rishabh said.

Dhvani turned towards Aishani "Madam, you also didn't pick up my phone, you talked with me on the last day, were you that busy.?"

"That's a big story, my grandmother, my father's mother was staying with us, you know how orthodox she is, she is so irritating, if we talk on the phone she keeps disturbing us asking, with whom we are talking, she don't even trust us, she just takes phone in her hands and talks." Aishani said.

"That's why you didn't pick up the calls, If I was in your place, I would have scolded my granny." Dhvani said.

"I wish I could do the same , but I don't want to engaged to random guy, like she did to my cousin sister, 'Aaranya'." Aishani said.

"You told me about her, she got engaged forcefully to guy she barely know at the age of just '15', what is she doing.?" Dhvani said.

"What.?" Nimisha asked in a shock and started coughing , Rahul gave her water, she drink that.

"Are you ok, Nim.?" Rahul asked, Nimisha nodded her head.

"Now Aaranya akka is going to Mumbai to work in a leading Architecture company." Aishani put the cover in dustbin and searched for water bottle, Shubman give her water bottle "Thank you" She smiled, Shub smiled back.

"Did your family agreed, mainly your brother-in-law's family, how did they agreed.?" Dhvani asked.

"Don't know , all are ok with her going to Mumbai, she hated Architecture, but she studied , because my brother-in-law's family wanted her to study that particular subject." Aishani said.

"Aishani, can you please elaborate? , we want to know, we are curious." Rasha said.

"Yeah, engaged at 15 , still not married, why.?" Nimisha asked and the bell rang

"Long story short, my grandma saw some guy is proposing to my sister his love on the road, that's it, she thought about family reputation and what will others think, she talked with guy's family and their engagement happened when she was 15 and he was 17, ten years back, now that guy is working in some company in England, he wants time to make enough money before marriage it seems, so no marriage, my grandma is mad lady." Aishani said.

"Oh, you don't have that kind of things, no.?" Ishan asked.

"No, I'm safe, my mom and dad are supportive, they won't allow her to do all this to me and my elder sister." Aishani said.

"You can propose her without hesitation now." Ishan whispered to Shubman and Shubman glared at him.

"Let's go the guys class, Rishabh you have sort the things out with Poorva, during snacks break." Shreyas said.

"I will, first let's go the classes, lunch break is over." Rishabh said, they started going back to the class.

Nimisha whispers in Rasha's ear "Engagement at 15,just for proposing and studying the thing which you don't like just because my future in-laws suggested , I will never do that."

"That's ridiculous, I will also not do that, but we don't know what's Aaranya akka's side story, so we can't judge her, may be her life can change now after, who knows." Rasha smiled.

"You sometimes talk sense." Nimisha teased.

"I always talk sense." Rasha said and they went back to classes.

During Snacks break.

Rishabh and their gang were standing near the canteen door and Rishabh was watching Poorva happily smiling and talking with Shaan and his gang in a canteen corridor.

"I don't know what magic this Shaan did to her, she used to hate him like anything, but now laughing with his gang." Nimisha said.

"Go, Rishabh." Rahul pushed Rishabh, Rishabh went near Poorva "Hi, Poorva" Rishabh called her, but Poorva didn't responded to him, Rishabh turned back and looked at his friends, they signalled him to sorry, the same time Ishan with his gang came out of the canteen.

Rishabh took a breathe and cleared his throat and said "Poorva, I'm sorry."

Poorva turned "What did you say, I didn't hear, speak louder." ,Rishabh gave irritation look to his friends and looked at Poorva and said "I said, I'm sorry."

"Clap everyone." Shaan started clapping "The great Rishabh Deshpande, is saying sorry."

"Shaan, it's matter between me and Poorva, you stay out of it." Rishabh pointed his fingers towards Shaan.

"Stop behaving like a idiot, Rishabh." Shaan laughed.

"What did you say.?" Rishabh moves forward.

"You want to fight, come." Shaan also moves towards Rishabh, Shrey and Rahul ran and stood between Rishabh and Shaan.

"Stop it guys." Shrey said.

"Shaan, we are here to talk with our friend, so it's better to you stay out of this matter." Rahul said.

"She is our friend, now, you all lost a good friend." Krupa taunted.

"Whatever, Krupa, but she is Rishabh's girlfriend, he came here to resolve the issues, so it's better we leave them alone." Nimisha said.

"Well well, Nimisha , Poorva was Rishabh's girlfriend, past tense, remember the English class, she is my girlfriend now." Shaan said.

"What.?" Rishabh looked at Poorva, Poorva looked away.

"Yes bro, you didn't gave the proper respect she wanted, so she came to me and I'm giving the respect that she deserves." Shaan said

"And also your group treats her like a thing." Krupa taunted.

"What rubbish you are talking.?" Rahul said, all started arguing, but Poorva was standing silently, Rasha observed that.

"Everybody, be silent." Rasha screams, corridor became silent , Rasha continued "Can we please let Poorva speak."

"That's a good idea, Poorva speak up." Shrey said.

Poorva took a deep breathe "Nim, I always thought friendship with you is going to benefit me, but I never thought that friendship with your can be inferior to me, you were always no.1 in studying and you are dating Rahul, one of the best in school, you always had everyone's attention , you always overshadowed me, I was just your friend, who always scored second rank..."

"These are not your words, Poo, you are my best friend, you ignored me after your fight with Rishabh, I tried to talk with you, I called you many times , you ignored me and the messages I sent you." Nimisha said.

"You started ignoring me when your old friend arrived, you didn't even stopped me when I changed the room." Poorva said.

"Bro, you initiated the room changing process, because you were tired of that room, stop talking rubbish." Nimisha said.

"Whatever, this is what I felt and I don't give a fuck to your opinion." Poorva turned towards Rishabh "It's over Rishabh, I thought dating you will be the best thing in life , but it's not, you are just a normal and rich guy, who is not good at studying." Poorva said.

"So saying, you don't need to score good marks is a lie.?" Rishabh asked.

"No, I did love you, you have generational wealth , but I can't be with you whole life, you are an idiot, who follows your friends everywhere they go." Poorva looked at Rahul and Shreyas "They will over shadow you and you don't even know it, you better stay away from them."

"Stop talking nonsense, they are my friends, they came to my life before you, I accepted your proposal, because they said we look good together, you are bitching about the people, who thought you as their own sister." Rishabh stood between Shrey and Rahul "We are not just friends, we are brothers for life , nobody can destroy our friendship, and I'm saying it's over between us, let's go from here guys..." Rishabh and his gang started going from there but Shrey turned back and looked at Shaan.

"We had issues in the past, Shaan, if you try to harm any one of us after this encounter, trust me, you will see my other face." Shrey pointed his index fingers and went front there and the bell rang.

Shubman and Ayush looked at Ishan who was looking at lost somewhere thinking , Shub asked Ishan "What are thinking Ishan.?"

"My crush is crashed, I thought she is a zero attitude girl." Ishan said.

"It happens, come let's go from here." Ayush said and they went from there and Poorva saw her friends going from there without any emotion in her face......
