(scene begins, Kanya returns home early her mother and sister are watching TV)

Mother : you said it was going to be late for

you what happened then??

Kanya : It got cancelled... I'll wash up then.

Tanya : (wonders : why is she a bit late than

me if it was cancelled. Usually I am

the one whose late)

Mother : I'll prepare pasta then...

(Kanya was too overwhelmed to reply her mother's insistance and stormed off to room)

Mother : What happened to her?

Tanya : I can eat pasta today mommaa😁

Mother : yess yess why not.

In the room

Kanya : What on the earth did I receive... a

freaking love letter!! And why was I

so Sweaty after reading that shit which

I don't even know who gave🤦. I think

It happened because it's the the 1st

time I received something like...

ahhhh!! Let's Just ignore this. Yeah.... I

got this.

(She washes up and comes out of the room)

Kanya : (wonders : what a crazy letter who is

gonna overthink on an anonymous

love letter? Me , nah no way I'd

rather... Look at a pasta! wait wha-)

PASTA!!!!! You seriously made it?

Mother : I told you so, hurry eat now.

Kanya : yeahh.

...

(During the night, when Kanya finishes her homework and begins to bagpack for morning tutorials and school she looks at the letter again)

Kanya : (wonders : I still wonder who might

be this fool? And why would he like

me? Is there any reason or is he a

creep who did it without one or

Someone is pulling prank on m-)

Tanya : what is it?

Kanya : what is what?

Tanya : the letter, isn't it from school's post

It has the school's seal.

[Forgot to mension they both share the same room with two different beds.

Reference: enid and Wednesday's room]

Kanya : it's related to project.Why do you

ask??

Tanya : just curious🙂‍↔️.

Kanya : (in mind : for the first time)

The next morning

(Kanya reaches to school and as usual goes to get books from locker)

Kanya : (opens the locker) 📨 whatttttt??

(SCREAMS)

(Everyone in hallway stares at her)

Someone : you are okay; I suppose.

Kanya : yeahh (embarrassed)

A letter?? Again (quietly opens it)

The letter :

________________________________________

Dear Kanya,

Sorry about the "worst 1st letter you ever had from me". It was sudden for you but for me it wasn't. after practicing almost 30 times I gave you some garbage. Don't think anymore,Ik you must be wondering how awfully written the other letters must have been. I should've wrote nicely hence from today I'll be writing you everyday.

I would like to keep my letters short and sweet. So from tomorrow it won't take long time like today. I think you are a very mature person, I once heard you giving a logical opinion. Mature people are busybody , I suppose. So I'll surely value your time.

I hope you'll read this letter and understand my introverted guts.

Love, from Me.

(Bell rings and prayer begins)

Janitor : Everyone go to your classes.

(Kanya leaves with letter and without books)

During lecture

Tritaa : (Whispers) did you forget to bring

your textbooks?

Kanya : yeh

Tritaa : what's in your hand?

Kanya : it's ah.. (hides) nothing.

Tritaa : okay I guess.

Kanya : ...

Teacher : Ok class open pg no. 38...

During break

Kunal : What do you all have. I am truly

hungry.

Kishan : bitter guar-

Kunal : get lost, Tritaa what about y-

Tritaa : spinac-

Kunal : you as well, best buddy Kanya let

Kishan : making my day

Tritaa : mine as well

Kunal : I told you both to get lost.

Tritaa : your jokes aren't joking😑

Kanya : I brought this for you all only. Tritaa,

(Begins to eat spinach and bitter guard)

School's over

Tritaa : kunal I am with you today.

Kishan : I'll adjust you.

Tritaa : Oh you just shut up.

Kunal : Okay then let's go bye buddy.

(Waves)

Tritaa : byee (offers clap)

Kanya : bye guys (leaves)

Three of them look at each other

Together : she is totally distracted!!

Tritaa : 1st she forgot to bring study material

The most impossible thing. Like she

Never ignores anything related to

study.

Kunal : SHE ATE GREEN VAGGIES DAMN!

she did this last time when Kriya left

school. She does this only when she

Is upset, angry or distracted.

Kishan : and now she stormed off. I'm sure

Something is fishy in her behaviour

today.

Tritaa : shall we ask?

Kunal : Ofc. Tomorrow we'll wait for her at

Lockers.

Tritaa : fine.

Kishan : great

(Kanya while returning home)

Kanya in mind :

Who must this be ? If he is interested he should confess directly, shouldn't he? Surely I will reject him then. But now this has become creepy. LETTERS, EVERYDAY??

Does it even make sense. What if he turns out to be an...an obsessive stalker. No , no Kanya he is just some high schooler. But...

Criminal psychoes don't have age. Should I tell about this to mother? But his letters aren't criminal type , they are...CUTE..

AHHHH Cut the crap Kanya.

Kanya reaches home)

(Her mother is watching TV)

Kanya : I'm home.

(Drinks water)

TV scene :

Girl : You crazy psycho!! I should've

reported you earlier. Let me GO!!!!

STALKER : I LIKE YOU! Why can't you see

my Love. You'll be happy with

me than you are rn.

(Kanya coughs and spilts water)

Mother : Oh you are here....

Kanya : why do you watch these rubbish

and good for nothing shows.

(Walks towards room)

Mother : what's wrong with her. Last time

she was curious about this

stalker.

During dinner.

Father : I heard you are participating in prom

This year, Tanya?

Tanya : ofc I am. This is my 1st prom and

Everyone is damn sure I'll win the

"Prom Queen Crown 👑 ".

Father : (clears throat) and who's gonna be

your partner.

Tanya : maybe you! Jk. Your princess don't

require a king to win the crown papa.

Father : That's my girl.

Kanya :( in mind : I actually like this mind set

of Tanya but..) The rulebook of prom

have prohibited pairing. The

competition is individual.

Father : So that's why, huh?

Tanya : yeah I mean, But it's true what I said

earlier, okay.

Father : I also heard a girl in your school got

an anonymous letter.

(Kanya coughs louder and spills food)

Mother : what has happened to you today?

(Gives water)

Father : Are you okay?

Kanya : yes.

Tanya : About that, yes. Idk who it was but

She was kind of terrified.

Father : who wouldn't be. If anything like this

happens with you both tell us ok?

Tanya : shut up, pappa.

Mother : He is right. I've seen in show these

Psychos are really scary.

Kanya : I am done with my food.

Mother : is there anything wrong? You're

acting strangely.

Kanya : (gulps).....
