This is my house,

not some sleazy club!

Start the music!

- Yeah!!!

No! And who the hell are you?

He's with me.

How many boyfriends do you have?

Jealous, Shamira?

He probably couldn't

find someone his own age...

...so he thought he'll get

it from a fat little schoolgirl!

Shamira!

- What? Do you want to add to this?

No, l Just...

l don't care what any of you think!

ArJun doesn't think l'm fat or ugly.

He likes me Just the way l am!

Right, ArJun?

ArJun? You like me, don't you?

Look, there's been

a misunderstanding.

You're a nice girl but, you and l...

But you said l was cute!

And that you like to talking to me!

And you came to this party with me!

Can we talk about this later?

- No!

l want to talk right now! Why

did you come to this party with me?

Tell me!

We came for the free booze.

- And food!

And to hook up with hot schoolgirls!

- High five, bro!

l'm glad that's been clarified.

l was wondering how a girl

like you found a boyfriend.

You suck at studies and sports.

You have no talent.

You're Just a fat, ugly loser!

You're nothing.

She's not nothing!

- Yeah, she's a great girl!

Just shut up!

What do you guys know?.

You're even bigger losers than l am.

And you! You think you're cool?

Because you're skinny, hot and rich?

Everyone hates you, Shamira.

Everyone loves me, honey.

You'll see when they all vote

for me in the Head Girl elections.

Oh please! Anyone could

beat you in that stupid election.

Oh really? Can you?

Of course.

Great. Elections are in 3 months.

See you then.

Leave my house now. Out!

Let her be.

The human heart is

a very delicate organ.

What do you want?

- What's wrong, didi? You can tell me.

What can you do?

- l can help you!

Get lost.

- Did ArJun dump you, didi?

l said, get lost!

Don't worry, there are lots of

other boys. You'll find another one.

Of course. You would know!

You're looking for a boyfriend

yourself, aren't you?

Poor little Booboo wishes

he had boobies, doesn't he?

No wonder he dumped you.

Who would want to

date someone like you?

l told you to knock...

- Shut up! What did you say to Booboo?

The truth.

You can't slap me like this!

l'm not a kid anymore!

lf you don't learn to behave

yourself, l'll slap you everyday!

Fine! Slap me, hit me!

l don't care! l hate my life!

l hate everything! l wanna die!

ln front of everybody, Mummy.

Fat, ugly, loser.

She said l was nothing.

She puts others down to feel

better about herself, doesn't she?

Yeah, that's exactly what she does!

And weren't you doing the

same thing with Booboo right now?.

Forget about being fat or ugly.

lf you're kind to everyone,

they won't care what you look like.

Booboo! Sorry sorry sorry

sorry sorry sorry sorry...

...sorry sorry sorry

sorry sorry sorry sorry!

ArJun... Shamira... and worst

of all, even Anchal hates me now.

No big deal!

Just give her a big hug tomorrow...

...and don't let go till

she forgives you. Good idea, right?

That's all fine,

but what about this election?

l Just said that in

the heat of the moment.

They must've forgotten by now.

election yet?

Yeah, we're both equal.

No, l'm the bigger loser.

how l got Anchal! Right, Anchal?

Yes.

Shamira has that you don't.

Then we'll give those

things to you. Simple.

Wow! How are you so good at this?

Gossip girl!

Oh...

Ok, name one thing

Hot body. What else?

She has like 300 friends.

Ooh! Popularity.

And she gets 90% every year.
