Ruhan and Anshika met before Siya and Aditya arrived. They walked inside the mall and explored various stores. Soon Siya and Aditya also joined them and they spent some time in the gaming zone before the movie started.Ruhan and Anshika sat beside each other and Aditya and Siya sat together beside them. Before the movie began, Ruhan winked at Aditya, and held Anshika's hand. Throughout the movie Aditya kept looking at Siya who enjoyed watching the movie, while Ruhan and Anshika were engrossed into each other. They sat close to each other, and Anshika kept her head on his shoulders and looked at each other. Aditya was busy looking at Siya, however he dared not to speak to her. In the washroom, after the movie, Anshika and Siya talked of the movie."The movie was great!""Oh really? I thought you weren't watching the movie.""What? Hey!"Siya let out a laugh."Did you think about Ankit during the movie?""What! No, I didn't. Which scene are you talking about?""Obviously that one.""You're filthy minded!"The girls laughed and walked out.The boys were already standing outside.Anshika and Siya walked in front of Ruhan and Aditya. They turned around to speak to them and found Aditya to be quiet."You seem to be so quiet, Adi, what's it?", Siya asked him."Oh, it's nothing, it's alright!"Ruhan looked at Aditya while they walked. Finding themselves seats the boys went to place orders. Ruhan almost dragged Aditya to the counter."What's it?""What?""You're quieter.""No.""Yes, you are in love and you should speak to Siya, now."Pulling Aditya by his arm they stood behind the table and overheard the girls' conversation."Ankit messaged me for another hangout!", Siya excitedly held up her phone."That's amazing!""Yeah!""So when are you going out?"Aditya looked at Ruhan, who could see the pain in his eyes. He comforted Aditya who still looked at Siya. "Oh I didn't notice you were standing behind us?", Anshika said suddenly turning around.Siya quickly hid her phone and the guys sat facing them. Ruhan and Anshika smiled at each other while Aditya also smiled at Siya.After having their lunch, Anshika and Siya wanted hang out more, however, Ruhan said that he had something important to do and so did Aditya. Ruhan and Aditya went to Aditya's place where he tried to comfort Aditya. He had just found out how well Aditya could hide his feelings and hugged him tight. "I think we should stop hanging out together. It would make you feel better.""There's no need for that, I'm alright. We are friends still.""Yes we are and I know how much painful it is for you to hide your feelings."Meanwhile, Anshika and Siya were excited due to Ankit's message. Anshika planned for their hanging out and asked Siya to check those out with Ankit.  Siya and Ankit talked over messages for the next few days and planned to meet again at Ankit's place for another party in which almost the whole class a invited.
