Chapter 3 : Unfinished conversation
Aaradhya wasn’t one to obsess over texts from strangers
Okay, maybe she’d thought about it once or twice (or ten times), but only because who even does that? Randomly texting someone cryptic encouragement like some bootleg life coach?
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
"She slumped at her desk, staring at her phone"
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
Do I at least get a hint? (texts to unknown)
The reply came almost instantly
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
Oh, fantastic. A mysterious bootleg life coach "Aaradhya groaned and threw her phone onto the bed"
The next morning, Rehaan was in his usual spot, leaning against the wall near the lockers, completely at ease—like a scene from some indie film where the brooding lead never actually goes to class
He was scrolling through his phone, but Aaradhya didn’t miss the way he glanced up right as she passed by
Ananya Sharma (fl bff)
*whispering* He’s looking at you
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
People look at people all the time. It’s called having eyes
Ananya Sharma (fl bff)
No, no. This was a Look
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
What does that even mean?
Ananya Sharma (fl bff)
It means he’s the one sending the messages, obviously
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
"Aaradhya risked a quick glance at him. He was still looking, but not in a flirty, obvious way. More like… observant. Curious"
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
"She looked away fast"
Ananya Sharma (fl bff)
TELL ME YOU FELT THAT
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
I felt like you’re insane
Before Ananya could argue, Rehaan pushed off the wall and started walking toward them
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
"Aaradhya immediately started planning her escape"
Ananya Sharma (fl bff)
Oh my god, oh my god, he’s coming—
Rehan Malhotra (ml)
*Casually* hey
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
*internally* Oh no
Ananya Sharma (fl bff)
*grinning* Hey, Rehaan! Aaradhya was just talking about you
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
*horrified* I was NOT
Rehan Malhotra (ml)
*lips twitched in amusement* Really? What were you saying?
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
That you’re suspicious and possibly texting me weird things in the middle of the night? (said internally)
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
*Instead, she crossed her arms* Just that you look like you have too much free time
Rehan Malhotra (ml)
*Smirked* I use my time wisely
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
*narrowed her eyes* Is that code for I spend it texting cryptic messages to people?
Ananya Sharma (fl bff)
*gasped like she was in a soap opera*
Rehan Malhotra (ml)
*Tilted his head slightly, unreadable* What kind of messages?
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
*Aaradhya held his gaze, searching for a flicker of recognition, some sign that it was him. But his expression was unreadable*
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
*Before she could push further, Sam popped up out of nowhere*
Sam (fl bff)
Why was the broom late to school?
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
*groaned* Sam—
Sam (fl bff)
Because it overswept *grins*
Ananya Sharma (fl bff)
*snorted*
Rehan Malhotra (ml)
*amused* That was terrible
Sam (fl bff)
*beamed* Thank you
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
Why are you like this?🙂
Sam (fl bff)
It’s a gift 😌 Anyway, why are we all standing around like we’re in a teen drama?
Ananya Sharma (fl bff)
Because Aaradhya thinks Rehaan is her secret admirer
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
I NEVER SAID THAT
Rehan Malhotra (ml)
*Completely unfazed* Interesting theory
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
It’s not a theory because it’s not a thing
Sam (fl bff)
Sounds like a thing
Rehan Malhotra (ml)
*with a smirk* Guess you’ll just have to keep guessing
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
*Aaradhya opened her mouth to protest, but he was already walking away, just mysterious enough to be infuriating*
Sam (fl bff)
*Sam watched him go, then turned to Aaradhya* I’m not saying you should fall for the brooding, slightly suspicious guy… but if this were a book, you totally would
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
Good thing this isn’t a book😮💨
Ananya Sharma (fl bff)
OH, BUT IT IS😀
Sam (fl bff)
And I am the comedic relief😌✋🏻
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
*groaned* I hate both of you🥲
Ananya Sharma (fl bff)
You love us😉
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
*Aaradhya ignored them* But later, when she got home and stared at the latest message from the unknown number, she couldn’t help but wonder 💭
Aaradhya kapoor (fl)
Was Rehaan just messing with her? Or was there actually something to this?💭
Lazy author 💅🏻
