It was the next morning. The sun shone brightly in the sky, while soft clouds drifted lazily, wrapping the horizon in a gentle embrace. The warmth of the morning sun mixed with the cool breeze, creating the perfect balance for a peaceful start to the day.

Anushka, Palak, and Manya were gathered at the school auditorium, where a multitude of events were about to unfold. While Manya and Palak showed minimal interest in the proceedings, Anushka's participation in a dance performance was largely driven by her teacher's persuasion. As she awaited the pairing for the couples' dance, Anushka's mind wandered to her potential partner, Anushka was hoping she wouldn't get stuck with someone awkward as her partner.

As the teacher began matching partners, Anushka's selection came as no surprise - she was chosen for the sole couple's performance, a testament to her status as the teacher's favorite.

The senior girls couldn't help but adore Vatsal, their captivating senior, who had also caught Anushka's attention. Vatsal's charm was undeniable, and his closeness to Palak's sister, Kriti, only added to his allure. As one of the school's most renowned students, Vatsal's reputation preceded him. His close friendship with Kriti, Palak's older sister,  was well-known, and their closeness are enough to fuel every girl who adore vatsal
Vatsal Mishra, the school's undisputed heartthrob, was the object of every girl's desire. His chiseled features, disarming smile, and confident demeanor made him irresistible. Yet, despite the numerous hearts he had unwittingly captured, Vatsal remained detached, his focus elsewhere.

The teacher said, "Nahi yeh bhi role ke liye perfect nahi hain,koi aur per kon" She was searching for the perfect person to pair with Anushka. That's when her eyes fell on Vatsal, who was standing uninterestedly on the another side.
{No, this one isn't perfect for the role either. Who else? }

The teacher said, "Haan Vatsal, tum hi Anushka ke dance partner banoge. Tum dono ki jodi best rahegi. Koi problem toh nahi hai na Vatsal?"

{Okay Vatsal, you'll be Anushka's dance partner. You two will be a fantastic pair. No issues, right Vatsal?}

Vatsal, who was initially focused on the teacher, shifts his attention to Anushka, who looks stunned by the teacher's decision.
Vatsal shrugs and says, "Mujhe koi problem nahin hai vaise bhi mujhe kisi ne kisi ka partner Banna hi tha."
{I'm okay with it, I had to partner up with someone anyway}

Teacher: "Acchi baat hai toh kal se Tum dono practise shuru kar dena time bahut kam hai." Vatsal nods in agreement.
{Great, let's start rehearsals tomorrow. You both have very little time}

Teacher: “Mujhe lagta hain Anuskha tumhe bhi koi problem nahi hogi”
{I assume you're okay with this too, Anushka?}

Anushka, still lost in thought, hesitantly responds, "Nahi ma'am.”
{No problem, ma'am}

After assigning tasks to each student, the teacher departed, followed by Vatsal's exit from the auditorium. Anushka's frustration escalated as she realised she might be paired with Vatsal for the dance performance - a prospect she dreaded.

Seeking solace, Anushka joined Manya and Palak, but her irritation intensified. Manya was engrossed in devouring her snack, oblivious to Anushka's distress. Meanwhile, Palak's gaze was fixed on Pranjal, her eyes radiating a mix of admiration and longing.

Anushka's annoyance grew as she observed her friends' preoccupations. "Can't they see I'm struggling here?" she thought, feeling neglected and trapped in her predicament. The possibility of being paired with Vatsal now seemed like an unavoidable nightmare.
{Kya inhe dikhai nahi deta ki kitni dikkat ho rahi mujhe}

Anushka:"Kya tum dono 2 min ke liye meri baat sunoge aapne kaamo ko chodh kar"
{Can you both listen to me for just 2 minutes, putting your work aside?}

Palak busy staring at pranjal reply”Bol na yaar sun rahi hu main”
{say! Nah dude I'm listening}

Manya is engrossed in eating, but she tries to speak, saying "Haa bol bol kya baat hai" although her words are barely intelligible due to her mouth being full.
{Yeah, go on, what is it?}

Anushka, seething with anger, abruptly rose from her seat and stormed out of the auditorium, exasperated by Manya's indifference and Palak's distant gaze. As she stepped into the hallway, her frustration reached a boiling point. That's when she spotted Vatsal, engaged in a lively conversation with a girl, his charming smile and effortless laughter only adding fuel to Anushka's growing fire.

The sight of Vatsal's carefree demeanour, juxtaposed with her own distress, infuriated Anushka. She felt as though the universe was conspiring against her, forcing her to confront the one person she desperately wanted to avoid. With each passing moment, her resentment towards Vatsal and the situation intensified, threatening to spill over into a torrent of emotions.

Anushka: "Yeh teacher ne kis ladka ko Mera dance partner banaya Jo har jagah nayi ladki ke sath dikhta hai aise ladkon se toh mujhe dur rehana pasand hai per meri kismat mujhe hamesha aisi ladkon ki hi aage piche fasati hai.kyu bhagwan kyu humesha main hi kyu”
{Ugh, the teacher has paired me with that guy who's always flirting with a new girl everywhere he goes. I'd rather keep my distance from someone like him, but somehow my luck always lands me with guys like him.I prefer to stay away from such boys, but my fate always gets me entangled with such guys,why god why why Always me while making crying face}

Vatsal: "Behan meri pehle se hi girlfriend hain"
{Sister, I already have a girlfriend, okay?}

Girl: "Main nahi manti, yeh sach ho hi nahi sakta acha agar aisa hain toh milwao mujhe ushse mujhe milna Hain ushse main bhi dekhna chahti woh Kaisi dikhti hain."
{No way! If that's true, then introduce me to her. I want to meet her and see what she's like}

Anushka tries to brush them off and walk away, but  Vatsal is confused and can't think of anything until he looks at Anushka and gets an idea. He suddenly grabs her hand, pulls her back, and makes her stand face-to-face with the girl.

Vatsal: "Dekho yeh Rahi Anushka, yahi hai woh”
{Look, this is Anushka,she is the one}

Anushka unaware of their conversation. She thought he was talking about the dance partner.

Vatsal says with a smile, "Haina, Anushka?”
{Right, Anushka?}

Anushka: "Haa, Main hi hu."
{Yes, it's me!}

The girl looks at both of them and, in anger, stomps her foot and walks away. Vatsal take a deep breath comfortably and looks at Anushka, who is still confused about what just happened.

Vatsal: "Mujhe pata hain main handsome hu per iska matlab yeh nahi ki tum mujhe dekhti raho”
{I know I'm handsome, but that doesn't mean you'll keep staring at me}

Anushka gets extremely angry after hearing his words and pushes him back, saying "Hippopotamus, kahi keh durr raho mujhse"
{Hippopotamus stay away from me ! }

Vatsal: "Per dance karne ke liye toh mujhe aapko chuna padega tab aap kya kariyega, Miss Anushka"
{But to dance, I'll have to hold you, won't I? What will you do then, Miss Anushka?}

Anushka is thoroughly annoyed by his comment and storms off without saying a word, leaving him standing there.

Vatsal can't help but watch her go  he thinks "Ajeeb hain per todhi shi pyaari bhi," and chuckles to himself.
{She's weird, but  kind of adorable}

Anushka goes to class and sits down to solve math problems. She has a unique trait - when she gets angry , her math problems that would normally take 10 minutes to solve, get solved in just 5 minutes. This talent of hers is triggered by her anger, It's as if her anger gives her a boost of focus and speed, a trait that's often associated with book-smart kids like her.

Anushka solves at least 10 questions in her anger, just then Palak and Manya enter the class.Manya's munching on a burger, while Palak's eyes are fixed on Pranjal, who's walking ahead of her. Everyone having there own obsession Manya having her food
Palak in her New boy pranjal, and Anushka in her math problems, which she's thoroughly devoted herself to.

Palak sits down next to Anushka with a sigh, while Manya sits behind them. Palak notices that Anushka is still fuming and realises that she's still angry. Just then, a boy approaches Anushka and asks, "Anushka kya tum ish question main meri madad kar dogi"
{Anushka, will you help me solve this question?}

Anushka replies, "Dikhayi nahi deta main kaam kar rahi hu, 10 min baad aana abhi nahi. Tum logo ko main koi machine lagti ho kya, insaan nahi hu kya main haa? Jao yaha se aur Karo jo kar rahe the."
{Can't you see I'm busy? Come back after 10 minutes, not now. You think I'm some kind of machine? I'm not a human, right? Just go and do what you were doing }

Palak tries to calm Anushka down, saying, "Anushka, baby, kyaa huaa shant ho jao itna gussa kyu?"
{Anushka baby calm down, why so much anger?}

Anushka responds, "Main kyu nahi ho gussa, tum dono mujhe ignore kar rhe the , busy the aapne kaamo main aur aab yaad aah Raha ki main exist kar rahi hu, jao yaha se aapna kaam karo."
{Why shouldn't I be angry? You both were ignoring me, busy with your own things. Now you remember that I exist? Just go and do what you were doing }

Palak: "Sorry, Sorry nah Anushka maaf kar de agli baar se aisa nahi hoga pakka promise"
{Sorry Anushka, please forgive me. I'll remember next time, and it won't happen again, I promise.}

Manya: "Sorry, Anu mera burger rakh leh aur shant ho jaah, dekh main aapna burger tujhe Dene ko tyaar hu per mujhe maaf kar deh."
{ Sorry Anu have my burger and calm down. I'm willing to give you my burger, just please forgive me }

Anushka, who was quick to anger, couldn't control herself, but she forgave them with just an apology. "Accha thik hain maaf kiya dono ko, tum dono seh jada der tak gussa nahi reh sakti ishka fyda uthate Ho Tum dono."
{ Okay, fine, I forgive you both. I can't stay angry for too long, and you both take advantage of that}

Anushka then looks at the boy and says, "Sorry yaar Maine tum per chilla diya main frustrated thi, question deh doh main solve kar dungi."
{ Sorry buddy, I yelled at you because I was frustrated. I'll solve your question}

Boy: "Koi baat nahi hota hai aisa hum sab kabhi kabhi thak jate hain padh ke aur hum sab insaan hi hain akhir khaar
{No worries, it's okay. We all get frustrated and tired after studying all day. We're human, after all." And with that, the boy walks away}

Palak: "Per hua kya tu itni gusse mein kyon thi, Anushka"
{But what happened? Why are you so angry, Anushka?}

Anushka: "Mam ne Vatsal ko Mera dance partner bana diya."
{Ma'am made Vatsal my dance partner}

Palak: "Toh usme kharabi kya hai Vatsal bhaiya ek acche ladke hain aur woh meri didi ke best friend bhi hai toh isme problem kya hai"
{So what's wrong with that? Vatsal bro is a great guy, and he's my didi's best friend. What's the problem?}

Anushka: "Han woh Teri didi ke best friend hai per sath hi sath school ke sabse bade Playboy. Mujhe uske Jaise ladkon ke aas paas bhi nahin rahana tu janti nahi woh kaisa ladka hai mujhe aise ladkon se duri rehana hai."
{ He's your didi's best friend and the biggest playboy in school. I don't want to be around people like him. Can't you see what kind boy he is ? I want to stay away from guys like him}

Manya: "Per tu kuch nahin kar sakti Anushka mam ne tujhe uske sath dance karne ke liye kaha hai aur tum dono ko sath mein perform karna hai aisa ho sakta hai agar woh dance perform na Karen tere sath toh baat ban sakti hai."
{But you can't do anything, Anushka. Ma'am has paired you with him as dance partners, so you have to perform together. Maybe if he backs out, something can be done}

Anushka: "Woh piche nahi hatega Manya, palak tu apni didi se baat kar Shayad woh kuchh kar sake Agar baat nahin Bani toh fir mujhe uske sath perform karna hai ya fir Bhagwan hai kuch Karega taki mujhe uske sath dance nah karna padhe"
{He won't back out Manya, I know. Palak, please talk to your didi and see if something can be done. If not, then I'll have to perform with him. Or maybe God will intervene and I won't have to dance with him.}

Manya: "Anushka chill kar tujhse sirf dance partner banaya ja raha hai na ki life partner banaya ja Raha apni padhai per focus kar per itna tension mat leh, per haa woh handsome toh hain"
{Chill, Anushka. You just have to dance together, not become real partners. Focus on your studies, and don't stress about it.But he is indeed handsome}

Anushka: "Mujhe toh uski real partner bhi nahin bannu Mere itne bhi bure din nahi aaye Hain, Main One women men chaiye aur woh use tarah ka ladka nahin hai aur toh uske  achcha dikhne se kya hi fydaa"
{ I don't want to be his real partner, either. I haven't had such bad days yet. I want a one-woman man, and he's not that kind of guy. What's the use of him looking good if he's not a good guy?}

Palak: "Per mujhe Vatsal bhaiya bure nahi dikhte hain, ish baat se manna mat karna Anushka."
{But Vatsal brother doesn't look bad, Anushka. Don't deny it}

Anushka (thinking to herself): "Haa manti hu, woh acha dikhta hai par woh acha ladka nahi hai aur mujhe loyal ladka chahiye aur use type ka nahi hai toh fir uske good looks ka Main kya Karun.”
{I agree, he looks good, but he's not a good guy. I want a guy who is loyal to one woman, and he's not that kind of guy. What's the use of his good looks?}

As the lunch bell rings, Manya, Palak, and Anushka decide to hit the canteen for some food. Manya had already had a snack earlier, which Anushka and Palak tease her about, but Manya doesn't care - she loves food too much! The three friends head to the canteen, grab their lunch, and sit down to enjoy their meal and each other's company.

Pranjal and Adhvik were sitting at another table, chatting with each other. Their friendship began when they got caught talking during class by their teacher, who then kicked them out. As a result, they spent the entire period outside together, bonding over their shared misfortune. As a result, Pranjal and Adhvik spent the entire class period outside together, and Pranjal found a good friend in Advik, and Adhvik's also found good company in Pranjal.

Pranjal and Adhvik's friendship had grown incredibly strong in just a short time. They had only spent one day together, but it felt like they had known each other for a long time.When Adhvik got up to grab something else, his foot accidentally knocked against the table, sending his entire meal fall onto Manya, covering her in a mess of food.

Anushka and Palak look at Adhvik, whose condition is worsening by the minute, and then they glance at Manya, realizing that something big is about to happen, and Manya's anger has reached its peak. No one can save Adhvik from Manya's wrath now.

Pranjal witnesses the whole scene and silently wishes for Adhvik's well-being, as he can clearly see the anger written all over Manya's face, and also notices the food that has spilled all over her.

Adhvik is terrified, and Manya glares at him with eyes blazing with fury. Adhvik is pleading for his life, and Manya erupts in anger, letting out a loud, ear-piercing scream:"Behan ka Rasgulla!!"
