Siya P.O.V...

I walked into class, already exhausted despite the day just starting. Priya and Aashvi were whispering, their eyes filled with mischief.

"Oh ho, Siya's here! Time for the daily dose of entertainment," Priya smirked.

I groaned. "Not today, Priya. My brain has left the chat."

Aashvi giggled. "That's okay. Drama will happen on its own."

Before I could respond, I heard the most irritating voice in existence.

"Oh hello, Ms. Si-."

I clenched my fists. "Band kar apna mooh, Yash!"

(Shut your mouth, Yash!)

Yash slid into his seat, smirking. "Arre, maine abhi tak kuch bola bhi nahi."

(Hey, I haven't even said anything yet.)

Aashvi leaned toward Priya. "Free ka entertainment so early in the morning. I love it."

Priya nodded. "Siya vs. Yash is better than any reality show."

I turned to Yash. "Why do you even talk to me?"

Yash grinned. "Tum mujhse zyada baat karti ho."

(You talk to me more.)

I gasped. "EXCUSE ME? Main toh bas tumhe shut up bolti hoon!"

(I just tell you to shut up!)

Krishiv walked in, stretching. "Subah subah kya jhagda ho raha hai?"

(What's this fight so early in the morning?)

Priya smirked. "Siya ka patience test chal raha hai."

(Siya's patience is being tested.)

Krishiv grinned. "Toh fail hone wala hai."

(So, she's going to fail.)

Eshan entered, yawning. "Koi mujhe bata sakta hai yeh dono ek dusre ko maar kyun nahi dete?"

(Can someone tell me why these two haven't killed each other yet?)

I groaned. "WHY AM I SURROUNDED BY IDIOTS?!"

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

Author's P.O.V

"So, Siya, kal raat ko sapne main bhi mujhe gussa dikhaya ya break liya?" Yash teased.

(Did you show me anger in your dreams too, or did you take a break?)

Siya shot up. "Yash, ek din main na-"

(Yash, one day I will-)

Krishiv cut in. "Shaadi kar legi."

(She'll marry you.)

Dead silence.

Aashvi gasped. Priya collapsed laughing. Yash looked slightly startled. Eshan raised an eyebrow. Siya, however, had entered full rage mode.

"KRISHIV, TUJHE MARNE KI ITNI JALDI KYU HAI?"

(KRISHIV, WHY ARE YOU IN SUCH A HURRY TO DIE?)

Krishiv ran behind Yash. "Bachao, Yash! Siya ek din mujhe maar degi!"

(Save me, Yash! Siya will kill me one day!)

Yash smirked. "Tujhse pehle toh main line mein hoon, Krish."

(I'm first in line before you, Krish.)

Eshan shook his head. "Romance level: Death threats."

Siya groaned. "I HATE EVERYONE IN THIS CLASS."

Aashvi whispered, "Siya ki life toh ek tragic comedy hai."

(Siya's life is a tragic comedy.)

Priya nodded. "Bas background music missing hai."

(Only background music is missing.)

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

Siya's P.O.V...

The lecture started. I sighed in relief.

Then a paper ball hit my head.

I turned around. Yash blinked at me innocently.

"Kya?"

(What?)

I unrolled the paper.

"Anger issues free main mile the ya online order kiye?"

(Did you get your anger issues for free or order them online?)

I inhaled. "Siya. Calm down. Murder is illegal."

Priya burst out laughing.

Krishiv whispered, "Siya, before drinking water from you, I need confirmation that it's not poisoned."

I picked up my bottle. "DEKH, MAIN YEH PHENK DUNGI."

(LOOK, I WILL THROW THIS.)

Krishiv raised his hands. "Main toh bas mazaak kar raha tha."

(I was just joking.)

Eshan shook his head. "Tum log kya cartoon network ki live recording kar rahe ho?"

(Are you guys doing a live recording for Cartoon Network?)

Yash snickered. "Aaj sab pe gussa nikal rahi hai, Siya?"

(Taking out your anger on everyone today, Siya?)

I glared. "Bhaad main ja."

(Go to hell.)

Priya and Aashvi howled with laughter.

"Siya ka patience ka balance khatam ho chuka hai," Priya announced.

(Siya's patience balance has run out.)

Aashvi nodded. "Recharge kab hoga?"

(When will it be recharged?)

I groaned. "I quit. I'm dropping out."

Krishiv patted my shoulder. "Tere bina school boring ho jayega."

(School will be boring without you.)

I shot up. "WOW. THAT'S WHAT YOU CARE ABOUT?"

Yash chuckled. "Siya, accept it. Tu bina life bohot boring ho jaayegi."

(Siya, accept it. Life will be boring without you.)

I blinked. For a second, he seemed serious. Then he smirked. I threw my pen at him.

"CHUP."

(SHUT UP.)

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

Siya P.O.V...

The lecture ended, and I was done with life.

I started packing my bag when Krishiv suddenly turned to Eshan. "Bhai, tu chup kyun hai? Kuch bol na."

(Bro, why are you quiet? Say something.)

Eshan smirked. "Main bas soch raha hoon ki Siya aur Yash ke shaadi ke invitation kaise honge."

(I was just thinking about how Siya and Yash's wedding invitations would look.)

Priya and Aashvi screamed with laughter. Yash grinned, too happy with this. I, on the other hand, was ready to commit murder.

"ESHAN, TERE LIYE BHI PAANI TAIYAR HAI!" I lifted my water bottle threateningly.

(ESHAN, I HAVE WATER READY FOR YOU TOO!)

Eshan laughed, dodging. "Arre, mazak tha!"

(Hey, it was a joke!)

Yash leaned back, smirking. "Dekha? Sabko lagta hai hum dono ka kuch chal raha hai."

(See? Everyone thinks something is going on between us.)

I inhaled deeply. Count to ten, Siya. Don't kill anyone.

I turned to Priya and Aashvi. "Main ja rahi hoon."

(I'm leaving.)

They immediately followed me, giggling the entire way.

I had survived another day. Barely.

And tomorrow?

Tomorrow was going to be worse. I just knew it.

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

Author's P.O.V...

As Siya left, still muttering, Yash stretched.

"Chal, Krish, kal ke liye naye plan banate hain."

(Let's plan something new for tomorrow.)

Krishiv smirked. "Siya ki reaction priceless hoti hai."

(Siya's reactions are priceless.)

Eshan sighed. "Tum log ke alag level ke problems hain."

(You guys have next-level problems.)

Meanwhile, outside, Siya sneezed.

Siya: I SWEAR SOMEONE IS TALKING ABOUT ME.

(An : Yup. And it's not stopping anytime soon.)

Siya's P.O.V

I sneezed again.

Priya glanced at me. "Siya, tu theek toh hai?"

(Siya, are you okay?)

I groaned. "Nahi, mujhe allergy ho gayi hai."

(No, I've developed an allergy.)

Aashvi frowned. "Kis cheez ki?"

(Allergy to what?)

I sighed dramatically. "BEWAQOOFI KI."

(TO STUPIDITY.)

Priya and Aashvi burst into laughter.

"Matlab tujhe Yash se allergy ho gayi?" Priya smirked.

(So basically, you've developed an allergy to Yash?)

I stopped walking. "Priya."

She grinned. "Haan?"

(Yeah?)

I narrowed my eyes. "Agar main jail jaaun na, toh tu bail pay karegi?"

(If I go to jail, will you pay for my bail?)

Aashvi gasped, covering her mouth. "SIYA, MURDER?"

(SIYA, MURDER?)

Priya dramatically wiped a fake tear. "Main bail nahi, court mein tere liye speech dungi."

(I won't pay for bail, but I'll give a speech for you in court.)

Aashvi nodded. "Judge ko bataungi ki Siya bechari ek innocent ladki thi, jab tak Yash uski zindagi mein nahi aaya."

(I'll tell the judge that Siya was an innocent girl until Yash entered her life.)

I sighed. "Tum dono bilkul kaam ki nahi ho."

(You both are completely useless.)

"Hum toh sirf sachai bol rahe hain," Priya smirked.

(We're just speaking the truth.)

I rolled my eyes and kept walking.

But something told me this was far from over.

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

Author's P.O.V...

Meanwhile, at the other end of the corridor...

Yash, Krishiv, and Eshan were standing near the basketball court, watching the girls walk away.

Krishiv nudged Yash. "Toh, bhai, aaj ka din bhi successfully Siya ko pagal karke khatam ho gaya."

(So, bro, another day successfully ended by driving Siya crazy.)

Yash smirked. "Abhi din khatam nahi hua, Krish."

(The day isn't over yet, Krish.)

Eshan raised an eyebrow. "Kya plan hai?"

(What's the plan?)

Yash leaned against the railing, thinking. "Siya ke patience ka test abhi poora nahi hua. Kal aur better hona chahiye."

(Siya's patience test isn't complete yet. Tomorrow should be even better.)

Krishiv grinned. "Matlab kal bhi full entertainment hoga."

(So tomorrow will be full entertainment too.)

Eshan shook his head. "Tum log ke andar alag hi level ki energy hai."

(You guys have a different level of energy.)

Yash chuckled. "Bas, Siya se thoda aur mazedaar reaction lena hai."

(Just need to get a funnier reaction out of Siya.)

Krishiv laughed. "Agar Siya ne tujhe sach mein maar diya toh?"

(What if Siya actually kills you?)

Yash shrugged. "Toh bhi ek epic story banegi."

(Then it'll still make for an epic story.)

Eshan smirked. "Bhai, ek din tum dono ka sach mein kuch chal gaya na, toh mujhe sabse pehle pata chalega."

(Bro, if something actually happens between you two one day, I better be the first to know.)

Krishiv snorted. "Bhai, kal ke liye kuch naya sochna padega."

(Bro, we need to think of something new for tomorrow.)

Yash's smirk grew wider. "Kal ke liye ek aur surprise hai."

(There's another surprise for tomorrow.)

Eshan raised an eyebrow. "Kya surprise?"

(What surprise?)

Yash just winked. "Kal pata chalega."

(You'll find out tomorrow.)

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

Siya's P.O.V...

I finally reached home and threw myself onto my bed.

Exhausted. Mentally. Physically. Emotionally.

I grabbed my pillow and screamed into it.

Aashvi's words echoed in my head: Siya, accept it. Tu bina life bohot boring ho jaayegi.

(Siya, accept it. Life will be boring without you.)

And then Yash's smirk flashed in my mind.

Ugh.

Tomorrow.

I had a feeling tomorrow would be worse.

But one thing i didn't get it today Eshan was behaving like those two idiots and Aashvi was also not shuttered once in front of him. Is there something between them maybe I'm just overthinking it. But what if it is true. OH MY GODDD!!

Anyways, Silence. Peace. No Yash. No Krishiv. No stupid comments about my patience level.

Just me and my-

DING!

I frowned and checked my phone.

New message request from: Unknown Number

Huh?

I opened it.

Unknown Number: Still alive, Anaconda?

My eye twitched.

There was only one person on this planet who would dare text me this.

I shot up in bed. HOW DID HE GET MY NUMBER?!

Before I could even process my rage, another message popped up.

Unknown Number: Did you quit school or just planning my murder?

I clenched my fists. Oh, he thinks he's funny.

Instead of replying, I called Priya.

She picked up on the second ring. "Siya, why are you breathing like you're about to commit a crime?"

"I JUST GOT A TEXT FROM YASH MALHOTRA."

Silence. Then-

"Pfft-HAHAHAHAHA!"

I pulled the phone away as Priya screamed with laughter.

"It's NOT funny!" I snapped.

"It's VERY funny," she wheezed. "Wait-how did he even get your number?"

"THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING!" I groaned. "Did you or Aashvi give it to him?"

"Excuse me? I respect my life, okay?" Priya snorted. "Why don't you just ask him?"

I inhaled. "Because asking him means talking to him, and talking to him means losing my last brain cell."

Priya giggled. "Then ignore him."

"Oh, I am ignoring him," I muttered. "I'm blocking him."

I hung up, went back to my messages, and-

DING!

Unknown Number: If you're ignoring me, just say that.

I stared at the screen. HE KNEW?!

Nope. I was done.

I blocked the number, slammed my phone on the bed, and buried myself under the blanket.

Tomorrow, I was going to pretend Yash Malhotra didn't exist.

Even if it killed me.
