I Fall In Love With My Senior
1
Cafeteria – crowded, buzzing with students.
Nina
(grabbing Aryan’s hand)
Nina
Come fast! No seats left!”
She finds one table at the corner and throws her bag down.
Nina
I’m going to the washroom.
Nina
Don’t look so nervous!
Aryan
“Come back soon... please.”
Nina runs off. Aryan sits stiffly, glancing around like a lost puppy.
Everyone greets him like he's a celebrity.
He walks straight to Aryan’s table, raises an eyebrow.
Rudra
(grins)“You’re sitting at my table.”
Aryan
(panicking)“I-I didn’t know! I’ll move! Sorry!”
Rudra
(sits beside him)“No need.
Rudra
You look too scared to bully anyway.”
Aryan clutches his tray tighter.
Aryan
“You sure? I can sit on the floor if it’s less offensive.”
Rudra
What are you, a lost bunny? Relax. What’s your name?
Aryan
“A-Aryan... first year... arts...”
Rudra
(mock serious)“Well,
Rudra
Aryan-first-year-arts, welcome to the throne.
Rudra
You’ve just been recruited as my new table junior.”
Aryan
“Is that... a punishment or a promotion?”
Rudra
“Depends. Can you handle sarcasm with your fries?”
Aryan nervously pushes his fries toward Rudra.
Rudra
(takes one)“Good answer.”
