Jayati Modi as Deepika

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I faintly heard a vigorous knock on the door. I yawned and sat on my bed. After having a little debate in my head weather to wake up or lie down again for some time, I collapsed on the bed again.

"Ariana! Come out! Right now!" I heard my mom shout.

"Shh. Don't cry." I heard her faintly say to someone.

I didn't bother coming out. I may sound selfish but I can't bother about someone crying when it is my time of rest.

I heard my door open and someone removed the sheets over me. I heard the curtains open and golden sunlight peered in. 

It fell on my eyes causing irritation. I took the cushion beneath me and wrapped it around my head. "Let me sleep!" I groaned.

" Up Up. Deepika is here. She is not in a good mood. You must see her. Right now." Mom informed me.

" Send her in." I said lazily.

Mom went out and I got up and and straightened out my hair, which a few moments before were looking like the gravity turned upside down.

Deepika came in with sore red eyes. 

 I could make out from her face that she was crying and before I can question her what happened she hugged me and started crying on my shoulders.

 I let her cry until she calmed down to sniffs and then I made her sit on the bed. I looked at her expectantly for some answers and she showed me her mobile.

It was a clip featuring Dip as a freak. Well it showed all the times Deepika fell down the stairs and benches and the times she screamed when she saw a bug, and stuff like that. At the end of the clip Shameeka asked some people how they felt about Deepika and those people said some insulting things to her.

" Its not going viral, is it?" I asked getting a bit concerned.

" I .... I don't know." she sputtered again shedding a batch of tears.

" I will freshen up and come. Then we can sit and talk." I informed her and went to wash my face.

I was just returning to my room when the door bell again rang.

Standing outside were the rest of the girls and concern flashed across their faces. They held their phones in their hands.

"Is she alright?" Maya asked.

I let them in and led them to my room.

The moment they saw her, all went and hugged her.

She wailed again, while the others said a few insulting words to Shameeka.

After all had calmed down, I declared that we need to go see Shameeka now to clear weather she had done this or was she made to do this and the reasons.

Before anyone could say a word, I went out of the door and all the others meekly followed.

"Who is it?" I could hear Shameeka's devilish voice as we knocked her door.

" Come out bitch." Deepika shouted.

She opened the door slowly and said calmly "Oh! Its you. Ruining my beauty sleep."

I rolled my eyes and got to the point. I snatched the phone from Deepika's hand and showed it to her. " What is this?"

"I guess....that is a phone. Please. Don't come here to ask stupid questions." she said in the same calm voice.

"I meant the clip." I almost shouted in irritation.

" Isn't it funny? The whole school must have enjoyed it by now. Come on Deepika. Don't be so sour faced. Do you have any problems if the sweet actions of yours bring laughter to people?" she chuckled.

"Cut the crap and delete the video." Natasha screamed.

"Shut up, doormat. I won't. What will you do?" Shameeka retorted.

" It isn't funny Shameeka. Delete the video and we will forget this ever happened." Maya said trying to calm herself.

" Well the fact is, I want you to remember this has happened. So I am not deleting it." Shameeka said with a devilish smile.

" You are rude." some one seemed to say from behind.

We all turned to the direction to see where the voice is coming from.

Sia!

She was there??

"Sia! Go home. " I commanded Sia.

Wow. She meekly obeyed.

We turned our heads back to Shameeka.

" If you don't delete this right now, in front of us, then we are going to get you back." I warned her.

"Oooo" she cooed, " I am scared." she faked a frightened face. " Still no." she said.

I got so angry that I pushed the door open throwing her back and we all entered.

I saw a vase on the glass table and picked it.

"Keep that down." she shouted.

"Delete the video." I screamed back.

"Okay. Okay." she gave in. " Just, please keep that down. Its my mom's and she will kill me if it gets broken." she surrendered.

"Are you sure she will kill you?" Mehika asked.

"Yeah..." she said getting confused.

" Well throw it down, Ariana." Natasha shouted.

I motioned to throw it down.

All the others laughed.

"NO!" Shameeka screamed.

"The video. Now." I commanded.

"Okay. Okay. Follow me." She said keeping an eye on the vase.

We followed her with the vase in my hand.

" Please give it. Its my Mom's." she pleaded.

I found her expression genuine and frightened so I gave it back but made a plan in my head that if she doesn't delete the video, I am going to pick it up again and this time really break it.

"Thanks. Follow me." she said with a genuine expression feeling a little relieved.

We followed her to a bedroom and excused herself to drink water.

We sat on the bed thinking what was coming next.

As we were talking, we heard the door click.

We turned back and saw the door closed.

We went to open it but it was locked.

"Enjoy guys!" We could hear Shameeka's voice from the other side.

"Let us out! " I banged the door.

No answer.

All of us were shocked that we just fell into a trap.

" Phone. We have got our phones right?" Deepika asked.

" I forgot mine at home." I confessed.

" Yes. " The others said.

" Then lets call someone for help." Deepika suggested.

" Who? We can't call our moms cause they won't spare us after hearing that we broke into someone's house." Mehika sighed.

While our constant efforts to think of a plan, we heard someone ring the bell. Thank god we are saved.

"Hi!" Shameeka's faint voice was heard, greeting the person.

"Hi!" The person greeted back. It was a boy.

" Rohan?" Natasha asked us in suspicion.

All five of us sticked our ears to the closed bedroom door to eavesdrop the conversation going on in the room outside.

" So what are you doing?" The guy asked.

" Its not Rohan. I can make his voice from anywhere." Deepika declared.

" Nothing just chilling around. So is Rohan home?" Shameeka asked the guy.

"Yeah. I guess." The guy said.

"Its Rahul!" Natasha exclaimed.

" What are you doing guys? Bang the door. Ask for help." Maya yelled at us.

"No, I have a better idea." I said. " Let us call Rohan. " I suggested.

"And what good will that do?" Deepika asked me back.

" Well......his girlfriend is alone in her house with his brother. That can get her back." I said with a devilish smile.

Wow Shameeka is contagious.

Deepika swiped out her phone and dialed Rohan's number. 

" You have his number? Till now?" Natasha asked getting shocked.

"I was his best friend. What do you think?" Deepika rolled her eyes.

" Well that was before he got a phone." Natasha said getting confused.

Before Deepika could get a chance to clear her doubts, the person on the other line picked up the phone.

Deepika shoved the phone to my ear startling me.

"Hello?" the person on the other line spoke.

"Umm....Rohan?" I confirmed.

"Yea...?" said the other person.

"Hi. Its Ariana. Get to Shameeka's house as soon as you can. She has locked us." saying I cut the phone.

"Okay....He is getting here." I said to the others.

After some time someone rang the door bell.

"Its Rohan!" Deepika squealed.

After some time Shameeka opened the door.

We all felt relieved after bearing the suffocation inside that room.

" I know you called him." Shameeka hissed in my ear.

I gave her a smile and made my way to the door.

" Good Bye losers." She hissed again.

" I am really sorry about everything." Rohan turned to me and said. " And I am sorry about the clip Deepika." he said to Deepika.

" You saw that too?" Deepika squealed.

" Excuse us." Natasha said leading Deepika out before she cried again.

" I will get you. " I warned Shameeka before I got out of the door.

I could hear Deepika cry outside.

I don't know what got over me, like I had no control over my hands. My legs went to the glass table, my hands picked up the vase and dropped it.

But whatever I did, it felt good.

She deserved it.
