**Zohan:** I don't know... maybe I've been so stressed lately that my brain isn't working straight.
**Aayan:** Man, you've got a great excuse there.
**Zohan:** What do you mean? I didn't follow.
**Aayan:** I mean, even if you score poorly, no one's going to say anything to you.
**Zohan:** Yeah, but if *you* score poorly, everyone's going to scold you.
**Aayan:** Yeah, I know. {Laughs}
*{Suddenly, a boy sneaks up and places a hand on Zohan's shoulder. Aayan screams in terror.}*
**Aayan:** Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! {Turning around} You...
*{Hena, Arya, and Zohan burst out laughing.}*
**Hena:** Man, you got scared so easily! {Still laughing}
**Aayan:** No... no... I wasn't scared. Who said I was scared?
**Hena:** You don't have to say it; it's written all over your face how terrified you were.
*{The boy who snuck up joins in.}*
**The Boy:** Bro, you're such a coward! {He starts laughing at Aayan}
*{Hena's expression shifts to anger.}*
**Hena:** Who are you to make fun of him? No one here finds your "joke" funny.
**Arya:** Yeah, she's right. Besides, you're from the other section, right? What are you even doing here? Who invited you? {Speaking seriously}
**Zohan:** Look, if you're done with your joke, you can leave. {In a serious tone}
**Hena:** No, wait.
*{The boy interrupts her before she can finish.}*
**The Boy:** I know I'm very handsome, but I'm not going to accept your "sorry." {He smirks}
**Aayan:** {Furious} Know your limits! If you speak to her like that again, I'll break your jaw! {In a loud, threatening voice}
**Hena (to herself):** Wow... he looks so handsome when he's this angry.
**Aayan:** {Lowering his voice but remaining deadly serious} Why did you stop him?
**The Boy:** If she wants to stop me, what's your problem?
*{This comment pours gasoline on Aayan's fire. Just as he steps forward to hit him, Hena stops him.}*
**Hena:** Aayan, wait a minute. Let me talk to him.
**Aayan:** You still want to talk to him after all that? {His anger intensifies}
**Hena:** {Walks up to the boy and slaps him across the face} You dog... you think I'm stopping you because I like you? I only stopped you so I could tell you to apologize to Aayan! {Hena yells in anger}
*{Aayan's face instantly lights up with a smile.}*
**Aayan (to himself):** That's my girl.
**Zohan:** So, when are you saying sorry? Or would you prefer going downstairs and saying it over the microphone?
**Arya:** You should actually get down on your knees and apologize.
*{The boy glares at Arya. Zohan immediately steps in front of her.}*
**Zohan:** Don't you dare even look at her. You're glaring? I'll gouge your eyes out, you hear me? {Loud and angry}
*{The boy's friend arrives and apologizes to everyone.}*
**The Boy's Friend:** Sorry, I just came here to get some notes and brought him along. I had no idea he'd act like this. Sorry, we're leaving. {He drags the boy away}
**Aayan:** {Looking into Hena's eyes, his voice softening} Weren't you the one making fun of me just a second ago? Why did you get so angry then, huh?
**Hena:** Look, it's okay if *we* make fun of you, but if anyone else does it, I won't tolerate it. {Dead serious}
**Aayan:** {A huge smile spreads across his face} What? You won't tolerate it?
**Hena:** Huh? No... I mean, *we* won't tolerate it. {Flustered}
**Hena (to herself):** Yeah, that's exactly what I meant. {She smiles}
**Arya:** Usually, it's Zohan who's the one fighting while you try to calm him down, but this time... I've never seen you this angry before—
