The girls went riding in Sparrow Delight Park the next morning. They raced each other to the school. "Hey, Ashi." Ashi blushed as she turned to see who was calling her. Siddharth was there. "I was wondering if you are registering for the theatre drama classes", she stammered. "Are you joining now?" "Sure, Ashi. I'm going because I love drama. It is extremely cool." "I also enjoy drama. I will come." "That is just fantastic. I was curious to see if you would show up or not. We can chat while in class." "Yeah, I guess I can come." "You look beautiful today," "Ttt-thanks" 

Ashi :

"Bye, Ashi. I'll catch up with you later. You can also call me Sid going forward." "Thanks. You are so kind." In her presence, Siddharth colored. "Bye Sid." Siddharth ran to his mates to join the group. "What's the story there to begin with?" "Oh, Adrien, it's nothing. "I have never witnessed him acting in this manner around other girls. Do you have feelings for Ashi?" "She's just a friend, I promise you." "Oh, really!" Alex and Adrien made fun of him. "Anyways, science experiment class is now in session. We shall discuss this later." After hearing them, Ashi smiled warmly at her friends. They entered Music Class by walking in and, fortunately, they arrived on time. "Melody, Ashi, and Marinette, kindly take a seat." "Okay, Mrs. Carson." "All right, class, the announcements are about to begin. Every school is participating in a competition this summer. We'll throw up an uphill battle against the Drama Theatre School. The losing team will be dismissed from the Academy as a result." "But, Mrs. Carson. I take the drama course, too." "Ashi, you need to resign and drop one of the classes at that point. I'm sorry, but you are unable to join both teams." Since she was leaving early for home, Ashi could not wait for the bell to sound. Time whizzed by during the remaining lessons as we practiced the piano."Rrrr-ring!" The students quickly exited the classroom as the lunch bell rang. Ashi finally noticed Lila and Sonia sitting next to them once more. "Hello, loser. We've heard you need to give up. Why don't you just go out of the academy since that is where you belong? Poor girl has no friends because no one cares about her. Nobody ever wishes for you to be born. Also, keep in mind that Siddharth already has me and isn't going to love a loser like you," Sonia said. Ashi ran along the hallways, outside, and past the front door. She hurried to the bedroom, fell onto the bed, and sprang down. She sobbed bitterly because she had a horrible day."What if Sonia is right? Nobody in this world likes me. Since I am the worst person ever, I hate myself." The door burst open, and Melody and Marinette were startled to see her sobbing. While breaking down, Ashi tells them everything."Since you are the best, the girl must regret what she said. She might simply be jealous. She said absolutely nothing right. We can convince them to work together, so don't worry about the competition." "You would do that for me?" "Of course, Ash, you have been our best buddy for always and a very long time."Both of them were surrounded by Ashi's arms. "You are the best friends I could ever hope for." They were all smiling at one another because they had an excellent strategy.

*Back at the School

Siddharth heard everything and became incensed about what he had heard. "Don't you dare say anything like that to her! She is an amazing powerful, and gorgeous girl who is loved by everyone. Without a doubt, she belongs here. How am I supposed to like a girl like you? Leave this area now." As Lila and her friend left, Sonia was in tears and had a grave look on her face. "Woah! Was that what? They were insulting my best friend." "Oh, really, a best friend or something more than that." "I'll discuss this in the room later."

*At Siddharth's bedroom

"Excuse me, Sid, but I saw you only have eyes for her." "That's false, I treat her like a friend. That's it." "I used to say the same thing about Mari, but it turns out that I truly love her." "Yes, I like her a lot." He daydreamed about her as the boys laughed.
