Utkarsh and Krissan lock the terrace, give the key to the peon, and walk through the corridor.

K (excited) - To be honest, I never expected this, but working with Trish is really fun. Humne itne ache ache designs banaye. You'll see soon.

Screen pauses: Only Utkarsh's voice is heard explaining Krissan's words to Vidurshi. "Remember the protest, one of the changes requested was changing the dorm clothes. Especially for girls. Summer ke liye theek hai. Par winters ke liye warmer and longer clothes chahtey hai. So Krissan and Trishna drew out some 4-5 designs for both boys and girls; And then teachers and students voted on the most liked design which was pitched as the idea in the project proposal"

Vi's voice "Oh wow. But what about my vote"

U's voice "Design kab ki kab confirm hogaya. Tumhare vote ka kya? Gaya... Ah back to the story"

U - I'm really excited to see your designs.

K - Thanks. But Utkarsh, why are you coming with me?

U - I know Mainey kaha ke main kisiko humare break up ke baarey main nahi batha'onga. Par Angela ko bathana padhega.

Krissan's expression changed and she looked unpleased.

U - Kab se blackmail kar rahi hai. Main Krissan ko yeh batha dhoongi. Main Krissan ko woh batha dhoongi.

K (surprised) - Wow! I'm a subject of a blackmail. I'm honoured.

Krissan and Utkarsh laughed for a while and then Krissan realized,

K - Well?? Then why aren't you going to meet Angela?

U - Wahin toh jaa'raha hoon. Angela tum sab ke saath hi hogi na. Project Proposal group sab saath kaam kartey hain right?

K - Yes. But I haven't seen Angela since breakfast. Aur waise bhi I don't think she's part of the group. 2 din se aayi hi nahi.

U - What? Then where is she?

Krissan shrugs expressing that she didn't know. Utkarsh started looking concerned and remembered how she had been acting strangely for a very long time.

U - Angela ke saath ho kya raha hai? Ajeeb behave karti hai. She told me she's going to meet you guys. If you think about it, she's been like that since last semester, achanak gayab ho jaathi hai, achanak wapas aathi hai. Mujhe lagta tha shayad medical room gayi hogi, par wahan bhi nahi hoti. What do you think is happening with her, Krissan!

Utkarsh was looking straight ahead as he pondered. The Expression on Krissan's face changed and,

K (fast, restless) - How am I supposed to know? Why are you asking me? It's not like I know everything.

Seeing how Krissan was acting, Utkarsh felt like she knew something and questioned her. After his continued persual she decided to answer.

Krissan remembers and narrates: Every night, as Krissan goes to bed, she sees Angela writing letters.

"At first I thought she was just writing letters for the Counselling mail [A system of counselling through letters were introduced in Warrior High for students who wanted to express their feelings and get counselling keeping their identities undisclosed.] A lot of people write to that. But reading the replies so often that too blushing and smiling." Krissan sees Angela smiling as she read a letter. Krissan wonders what is making her blush.

"And then few weeks ago, some girls were gossiping that they see Angela and Adi Sir together all the time and they were talking badly about them. I thought of going and stopping them, but then I remembered, warrior high mein counselling mail ka replies kaun de raha hai? Adi Sir. And then again, Maine khud dekha, Adi sir giving a gift to Angela and patting on her cheek. Angela khushi se naach rahi thi." Krissan walked out of the dorm late in the night to get some fresh air and stretched a bit. She turns to see Angela and Aditya Sir standing near by, seeing this she hides behind the dorm door and peeks from the hiding place. As Aditya sir gave her the gift, Angela was surprised and so happy. He patted her on the cheek and left after which Angela did a little dance and turned to come to the dorm. Krissan ran back into her bed and peaked from behind her blanket. Angela sat on her bed, kissed the gift and kept it inside safely.

"Yeh chal kya raha hai" Krissan wondered. "I hope this isn't going to turn out like last year and Vibha ma'am had to resign"

[Flash back pauses]

Vi (angry) - Krissan has a bakwas imagination!!

U - Even I thought the same. But then I remembered English classes, the smiling, the sign language.

Vi - Whaatt do you......

[Flash back]

In the previous semester, Vidurshi remembered how Angela had a huge smile everytime she saw Aditya sir. And how Utkarsh told her that Angela was Aditya sir's favorite as he always Aditya sir looked at her first when entered into the class. A lot of times, as he passed by, Aditya sir shook his head meaning a No and Angela's face turned from excitement to sadness. As she was about to walk to him, Utkarsh and Vidurshi looked at each other and held on to her hand,

U - Angela? Yeh chal kya raha hai?

A - What?

Vi - Tumhare aur Adi Sir ke beech mein.

A - Nothing.

U - Angela. Yaad rakhna, woh humare teacher hain aur jab teacher aur student involve hotey hai...

Vi (shouts in between) - Remember Vibha ma'am!!

A - Seriously guys! Chill! Calm down! Nothing is going on

And Angela took their hands off her and went to meet Sir.

[Flash back ends]

Vi - She said nothing is going on and i believe her. Humey in saarey gossips aur rumours ko believe nahi karna chahiye. Itna doubtful ho toh, just ask her.

U - That's what I did.

[Flash back resumes]

Throughout the next English class, Utkarsh was looking at Angela who was busy listening to class. After the class got over, students started leaving while Angela put her head on the desk and closed her eyes to rest. Niti nudged Utkarsh and lifted her eyebrows. As she was about to go to Angela,

U (pleading) - Niti. Niti. Main baath karta hoon. Tum ja'o na. Please. Please.

Ni - Main kyun jaa'oon?

U - Please. Please.

Niti gives an angry look and leaves the classroom, leaving Utkarsh and Angela to be the only ones in the room,

U - Angela? You okay?

A - Haan. Buss tired. Kuch zyada hi kaam karvadiya hai yaar inn logon nee.

U - Proposal team ney!?

A - Haan.

U (concerned) - Jhoot kyun bol rahi ho Angela? I know you're not part of the team.

Angela lifts her head from the table and looks at Utkarsh who stood with concern in his eyes,

U - Jhoot bolkey kisse milney jaa rahi ho?

A (tired) - What do you mean?

U (stern) - Tum Adi Sir ke saath thi? You came with him to class.

A (annoyed) - Yes. I was helping him....

U (angry) - Angela. Stop lying! Patha hai, kaise kaise baath kar rahi hai sab - Tumhara aur Adi Sir ka chakkar chal raha hai. Chakkar ka Patha nahi, lagta hai ke tum unhe like karti ho. Tum aise hi kisiko like nahi kar sakti!

Angela stands up angrily and,

A (angry, shouts) - Kyun? Why can't I?

U (angry) - You know why!!!

Angela stood silent for a second, looking hurt. She looks directly into Utkarsh's eyes and,

A - I thought you were my friend aur at least tum samjo'gey. (hurt) Don't ever talk to me Utkarsh.

Angela leaves the room while Utkarsh was dumb-folded.

[Flash back pauses]

Vi - That doesn't make any sense. Angela ko itna gussa aya kyun?

A - Because that's not what happened.

Utkarsh and Vidurshi turned to the door where Angela stood looking at them.
