2 How the World Works

She felt dizzy when the thought of herself being in the movie came across her mind.

' Hehe.. I must be mad to think that such a thing can happen. This must be a dream. Yes, this suits the logic. Let me sleep. '

And so she decided to sleep in the classroom. She was a back bencher. So, she could dodge the direct eye sight of the professor.

But truth be told, she didn't even care to hide from the professor's line of sight, since she wanted to believe that it was all a dream.

" Reckless. Who's that senseless brat sleeping during my class? "

the middle aged lady professor yelled.

Her friend whispered " Oyy... Wake up... S..i..a.... you got caught "

" H.u.h!? I'm still here? Not at home?? Did I really hack into this world??! "

She shrieked in utter disbelief...

" IT'S YOU AGAIN? GET OUT OF MY CLASS! YOU WILL BE MARKED ABSENT FOR A WEEK!! "

Her friend palmed her forehead with great force, so much so that her forehead turned red hurting her and the sound from the impact turned everyone's attention towards her.

" YOU TOO WILL BE MARKED ABSENT FOR TODAY. GET OUT! You're not just her friend but also sitting right beside her. Yet you allowed her to sleep. Huh!? You too need to learn a lesson "

the professor let out all her frustration on them. The lady professor has been in an irritated mode right from the moment she had entered the classroom.

This was supposed to happen...

***

She was stuffing all the Gobi Manchuri she was bought. Yes, it was her friend who had treated her.

" Are you not angry with me? "

she asked

" No, I'm glad that I'm out of that stuffy class of hers. Moreover, I was marked absent for only today. Since we didn't argue with her, she will not hold any grudges. Later, I'll go to her and cry some crocodile tears. She'll take pity on me and consider giving me the attendance. "

" Wow.. Do you know Psychology? "

she asked.

" Sia, forget it. It's something you lack. "

" What's it? "

she asked innocently while unpacking her mini ice cream pack.

" Common sense! "

she replied sarcastically and started laughing at Sia.

Putting up a pretense of anger, she shoved a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth.

The girl was taken by surprise by this move since she least expected it.

Sia burst into a mischievous laughter. After gulping down the ice cream, her friend too started giggling like a child.

She didn't even know the name of this good friend of Sia. How to ask? Then her eyes glanced her ID Card hanging from the tag around her neck. She got hold of the girl's ID card and pretended to play with it.

' Raziya S ' was typed on her ID.

" What are you doing? Stop playing with my ID! "

saying this she pulled it back.

A boy was approaching her. At that moment, She felt as if the world is going in a slow motion, the pain when the strings of her heart being pulled was clear within and an emotional tune started playing in the background.There was even that sudden breeze which played with the boy's hair.

The guy sat beside her. The breeze stopped. ' What? ' Sia was all panicked with these sudden effects.

She looked around in panic. There was a guy on the other end of the canteen with a guitar.

' It was him playing the music all the while? Then, what's with the Slo-mo effect? Does this world suddenly slow down, pause and come back to normal? Is it something common in this World? It's like people in this world can really experience the background sound and video effects in reality. '

As she was trying to grasp the situation, Razia was glaring at him and spoke angrily,

" Eyy, Don't you dare play with my innocent friend's heart! She knows how you went on to confess your love for that beautiful heroine of our college. Do you think she's still stupid to continue this relationship? How shameless can you be to go and propose to another girl while having such a loyal girlfriend, Raghav? "

' Raghav? This name... Ah yes, in the beginning of the movie, Raghav named guy persistently chases the heroine despite having a girlfriend. He's a comedic character who later gets thrashed by the hero for his disgusting personality. So I'm that unfortunate gullible girlfriend of his?? '

' Later, he sort of comes back to his girlfriend with no choice left. He acts out well infront of his gullible girlfriend and continues dating her. His girlfriend was shown once in the whole movie. Even during that small appearance, she had no dialogues except crying. Am I that girlfriend of his? Eww '

she was disgusted.

" Why do you always meddle in our business? Sia loves me. I was just distracted yesterday. I still love her. My dear, Aren't we on good terms? How about going on a date sweet-heart 💕 "

Before Sia could think of an answer, Razia asked,

" Why are you even thinking Sia? Don't tell me, you still get the Slo-mo feeling. Did you get it again? "

" Slo-mo feeling. yes I got it but... "

Sia started linking the movie effects with the current situation.

Razia looked horrified.

' sooo it happens naturally to everyone in this world based on the scenes they are in? Just like in the movies? The effects that are added in the movie are something as natural as our emotions ?? That means, if I'm sad I can hear the sad music in the background and my world gets slo-mo in sadness? If I'm excited then the lights around me shine brightly and I can hear drum beats and cheerful music? That's crazy to think! '

' Sia's heart remembers her old interactions. It is due to her heart that I'm feeling happy and sad, simultaneously, in this moment. '

' Since, Sia originally loved Raghav unconditionally, she accepted him no matter what he did? I can feel her emotions now. My heart is fluttering just by the fact that he's back. Oh Sia, how innocent and ignorant are you! But I'm not her, I'm Shriya turned Sia. So I can't let this heart take over me regarding this trash guy's matter '

" I know it's crazy... " Sia said

" Yes it is, Sia. Why are you born so gullible? "

Razia face palmed misunderstanding Sia's words.

" Hehe, I know you love me a lot Sia. ~Darli- "

His words were cut by Sia immediately

" Ewww.... Stop it you damn cheater! Your acting and cheesy words make me cringe. Yuck! "

Sia's heart got heavy.

Razia was astonished by this. She had almost lost all her hope. She never could imagine Sia talking back to Raghav.

" Sia... W-Wh-What did you say j-just n-now? I think I h-heard wrong "

Raghav couldn't believe his ears.

" Oh, so you are not only an unfaithful bastard but also a stone deaf ? ! "

Razia's jaw fell to the ground. Raghav went blank.

Sia bent close to his ears and spoke

" NEVER EVER enter my line of sight. Do you understand? I hope you understand what this means. We are breaking up! Got it? "

" Razi, Let's go out on an outing this evening. How about Girls night out~ "

Sia took Razia by her hand and pulled her out of the place.

Razia was flying in the seventh heaven after this scene. She felt like a mother whose child finally learned to walk steady on her own.

" Today's Treat for your break-up is on me. Let's enjoy the ' Shout-out DJ program ' which starts at 6 this evening. My bro has got me 2 tickets. Let's go shopping for this bombaat evening, Let's go? "

asked enthralled Razia

Sia was happy to reject such a scum bag of a guy. Her heart was heavy and sad.

" Ofcourse it's time to party "

" How are we going? Which Mall? " Sia asked trying her best to be enthusiastic.

She felt like being Sia is more better than being Shriya. Sia got a faithful friend. She was ready to accept her new identity. She was yet to meet her mom though.

For now, all she thought was to celebrate her Break-up day with her friend.
