Love by Accident
THE WRONG MESSAGE
Shruti Singh
Hey! Did you finish the notes for bio? 😅
Arjun Kapoor
I think you have the wrong number.
Shruti Singh
Omg 😭 yes, I’m so sorry! Totally my bad.
Arjun Kapoor
Haha, no worries.
Shruti Singh
I promise I’m not stalking random numbers 🙃
Arjun Kapoor
Lmao, good to know. Are you always this… chaotic?
Shruti Singh
Only on Mondays. Today is Monday. You’re lucky 😎
Arjun Kapoor
Guess I am. So… since you texted me by accident, what’s your name?
Shruti Singh
Shruti. And yours?
Arjun Kapoor
Arjun. Seems like destiny messed up your contact list. 😏
Shruti Singh
Destiny, huh? Or just me being terrible at texting 😂
Arjun Kapoor
Could be both. So… are you always this honest with strangers?
Shruti Singh
Only when I have no other choice 😬
Arjun Kapoor
Interesting. I might just start looking forward to your “wrong texts.”
(Shruti whispers to her best friend Meera in another chat.)
Shruti Singh
Meera!! I accidentally texted a stranger. He’s… weirdly nice. 😳
Meera - Shruti's best friend
Omg 😱 Are you serious?! Don’t tell me you’re flirting with him already 😏
Shruti Singh
No! I mean… maybe a little 😬
Arjun Kapoor
Wait… did you just… whisper to someone else about me?
Shruti Singh
Uh… I mean, yes, but I swear it’s just my best friend!
Arjun Kapoor
Haha, good. I was about to say I’m flattered 😎
Shruti Singh
Stop 😳 You make this so awkward.
Arjun Kapoor
Awkward can be fun. Trust me.
Shruti accidentally sends a screenshot meant for Meera showing her crush’s chat to Arjun.)
Shruti Singh
Oh no… that’s not meant for you 😳
Arjun Kapoor
Wow, this is getting interesting 😏
Shruti Singh
I am never texting strangers again!!
Arjun Kapoor
Too late. Now you’re stuck with me.
SCREENSHOTS AND SECRETS
Arjun Kapoor
Sooo… should I pretend I didn’t see that screenshot? 😏
Shruti Singh
PLEASE delete it 😭😭
I swear I’m not that embarrassing in real life.
Arjun Kapoor
Too late. Damage is done.
But don’t worry—I won’t tell your crush 😌
Shruti Singh
You don’t even know him!
Arjun Kapoor
True.
But I know you panicked in 0.2 seconds. That says a lot 😄
Shruti Singh
This is why I don’t talk to strangers.
Arjun Kapoor
Funny, because you’re still talking to me.
Shruti Singh
…unfortunately, yes 🙄
Arjun Kapoor
Admit it—you’re enjoying this “accident.”
Shruti Singh
Maybe a little. Don’t get confident.
(Shruti switches to Meera’s chat)
Shruti Singh
MEERA HE SAW THE SCREENSHOT 😭
I want to disappear.
Meera - Shruti's best friend
LMAOO 😭
Okay but… is he cute?
Shruti Singh
STOP. He’s just a stranger.
Meera - Shruti's best friend
A stranger you’re texting nonstop 😏
Arjun Kapoor
You went quiet.
Regretting texting me already?
Shruti Singh
No. Just being judged by my best friend 🙃
Arjun Kapoor
Best friends are dangerous.
They know too much.
Shruti Singh
Exactly.
So… do you tell your friends everything?
Arjun Kapoor
Not everything.
Some conversations are better kept secret.
Shruti Singh
Like this one?
Arjun Kapoor
Especially this one.
(A new notification pops up)
Riya - Shruti's classmate
Hey Shruti 👀
Who are you smiling at so much these days?
Shruti Singh
What? I’m not smiling.
Riya - Shruti's classmate
Sureee.
Heard you were chatting with someone new 😉
Shruti Singh
(to herself): How does she know…?
Shruti Singh
Random question—do you believe accidents happen for a reason?
Arjun Kapoor
Depends.
Some accidents ruin things.
Some… change them.
Shruti Singh
And what about this one?
Arjun Kapoor
I think this one isn’t a mistake.
(Shruti's phone buzzes again.)
Riya - Shruti's classmate
Sooo… what’s his name? 😌
Riya knows something.
Arjun is getting closer.
And Shruti isn’t sure whether this “accident” is safe anymore…
READ RECEIPTS
(Late evening. Shruti’s phone buzzes.)
Riya - Shruti's classmate
So… Arjun, right?
Shruti Singh
What?
Who told you that?
Riya - Shruti's classmate
Relax 😌
I just guessed.
You’re bad at hiding things, you know.
Shruti Singh
There’s nothing to hide.
Riya - Shruti's classmate
Sureeee.
Then why did I see a new name lighting up your screen all day? 👀
(Meanwhile, another chat)
Arjun Kapoor
You disappeared again.
Shruti Singh
Sorry. Stuff happened.
Arjun Kapoor
“Stuff” sounds serious.
Everything okay?
Shruti Singh
Yeah. Just people asking too many questions.
(Typing… stopping… typing.)
Arjun Kapoor
Hmm.
Did you tell someone about us?
Shruti Singh
About us?
Arjun, we’re just texting.
Arjun Kapoor
Right.
Just texting.
(Shruti panics and texts Meera.)
Shruti Singh
I think I upset him.
He left me on seen 😭
Meera - Shruti's best friend
Oof.
Classic mistake.
Shruti Singh
I didn’t mean it like that.
Meera - Shruti's best friend
Then say it.
Before Riya messes things up.
Shruti Singh
I didn’t mean to sound cold.
I just don’t like people controlling what I talk about.
Arjun Kapoor
Fair.
I don’t either.
Shruti Singh
And… I didn’t tell anyone details.
Just that I accidentally texted someone once.
Arjun Kapoor
Once? 😄
Feels like more than that now.
Arjun Kapoor
Yeah.
I catch myself waiting for your replies.
(Shruti smiles at her phone.)
Riya - Shruti's classmate
Funny thing 😌
I might know Arjun too.
Shruti Singh
What do you mean?
Riya - Shruti's classmate
He reacted to my story today.
Small world, right?
(Shruti’s chest tightens.)
(Back to Arjun, trying to sound normal.)
Shruti Singh
Random question—
Do you react to everyone’s stories?
Arjun Kapoor
Not really. Why?
Shruti Singh
Just curious.
Arjun Kapoor
Hmm.
You sound… jealous.
Arjun Kapoor
Okay.
Then I’ll be honest.
Arjun Kapoor
I don’t talk to many people like this.
(Riya sends one last message.)
Riya - Shruti's classmate
Careful, Shruti.
Some accidents don’t end well 😉
Is Riya telling the truth—or creating doubt?
Is Shruti getting attached too fast?
And will Arjun choose honesty… or silence?
(Right now Shruti doesn’t know that Arjun is her batchmate.)
