Jannat's story in flashback mode:

London high school, 2015:

"Hey Faisal... why so sad?" Roshni sat next to him and glanced over her shoulder.

"Nothing."

"Well... if you tell me I might help,"

"I don't know, not in the mood for anything."

He walked off leaving a surprised Roshni thinking about what to do.

"I know! I'll give him a surprise."

She quickly tore a small piece of paper from her notebook and wrote in thick black pen:

Meet me in my dorm room, 253 at 6pm

She went to Faisal's desk and slipped it in his maths book.

Maybe her surprise might lighten his mood.

Evening 6pm:

Roshni slinked across her bedroom, waiting impatiently for Faisal.

"Where is he?" She kept glancing down at her leopard print watch.

Suddenly, the door creaked open and as it squeaked on its hinge, a smile drew on her face. She turned to face away from him quickly and leaned over the window.

Not a word was said; she had decorated the room with candles and flowers to make Faisal happier and now he wasn't saying anything.

She turned round to see what was up but saw his back instead. His head was faced the other way; maybe he was just too thrilled by her decoration.

The door was open.

She walked slowly up to him and rested her head on his back, slipping her arms under his and rocking gently.

She felt a twitch in his bones as she touched him.

"Roshni, I...."

"Sssh." She ordered.

Suddenly, a pattering of feet disturbed their romantic moment.

Through the corridor, the sound got louder and louder and louder......

To her immense horror, a face peeped in through the door.

The same familiar round eyes and curly hair; Faisal was at the door, his eyes bulging with fury.

"WHAT THE HECK?"

If Faisal was at the door, then who was she hugging???

Shit.

She pushed the other guy to the wall and to her shock she realized it was Sidd.

Faisal rammed into the room and pushed Sidd hard till his back slammed against the wall.

"Who the hell do you think you are huh? If you couldn't find your own, why steal someone else's things? You showed your cheap, low class status in the end didn't you?" Faisal clutched Sidd and thumped his head on every few syllables as he spoke.

Faisal punched him and Sidd slapped him back.

"GUYS STOP IT!" Jannat and Vishal suddenly stormed into the room and Vishal tried to pull Faisal back, giving Sidd the vicious look.

"Leave it my friend, such people can only be handled by their common low status mates. They don't fit in." Vishal's acrimonious words made Sidd grit his teeth.

Vishal kept a sturdy grip on Faisal's shoulders as he let go of Sidd's collar.

Roshni dropped onto the sofa, tears streaming down her cheeks. She put a hand over her mouth.

"VISHAL!" Sumedh was now present with Tunisha who was quietly observing this.

Vishal twitched his nose in anger and was startled at Sumedh increasing his voice at him.

Sumedh stared at Vishal evilly for insulting him and his wide eyes could almost reveal the pulsing veins under them.

"Let's go dude, let's go from here - leave them."

Sumedh wiped the drip of blood on Sidd's cheeks and pulled him out of Roshni's room.

Tunisha stayed as Faisal stormed out of the room with Vishal behind him.

Jannat went and sat herself down, stroking Roshni's hand gently. Tunisha faced them vertically and Roshni looked up with tear stains on her face.

"ITS ALL YOUR FAULT YOU BITCH. I KNOW YOU PURPOSELY SLIPPED THE NOTE INTO SIDD'S BOOK BECAUSE YOU WERE THE ONLY PERSON I TOLD MY PLAN TO!" Roshni screamed, flinging her hands into the air and making the windows shake.

Tunisha suddenly felt sweat surrounding her forehead and her nostrils flared at this ignorant 'friend' of hers.

"How can you blame something on me when I didn't do it?! You know what's wrong with you? You're biased. You think you're the only person who has the right to do everything - hurt people's feelings, get the guy of your choice and even to control others lives! You don't have a life of your own because you keep interfering in others!!!" Tunisha screamed back, fuming at the accusation on her.

Roshni clutched the sofa fabric in anger.

"Tunnu, please just go, I'll calm her down, it's okay - just go." Jannat said shakily.

Tunisha left, flicking her hair and slamming the door behind her.

Roshni went into her bedroom and locked herself in.

Oh no, what had happened to their friendship group?
