(Setting: Radha's room, late at night. She's sitting cross-legged on her bed, Taylor Swift softly playing in the background, glaring at her laptop like it personally betrayed her. The cursor blinks mockingly on a brand-new Google Doc.)

Group chat-Hot Mess Majors

radha98%: WHO DECIDED THIS? WHO SIGNED ME UP FOR SUFFERING?

Rizzball: Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, deep breaths, bestie
Let's NOT commit murder before lunch

(Also, please don't hurt anyone I love)

Rizzball: She's not kidding, Radha.

Rudy_rudra:👀 What is this drama about?
Also, where are the snacks?

Tea.risha: LITERALLY JUST OPENED MY POPCORN
This is better than that show with the vampire brothers

radha98 %: I am being forced to work with THE devil himself.
the devil. with a guitar.

no_shit Kavya: and abs. don't forget the abs.

radha98%: I HOPE HIS GUITAR STRINGS SNAP MIDWAY
AND HIS STUPID HAIR GETS CAUGHT IN IT
TWICE.

Shree.exe: If you throw your phone, can I have it?
I need a second screen to watch the slow collapse of your sanity in HD.

radha98%:what happened to emotional support, huh?

Shree.exe: I'm emotionally supporting your enemies. Builds character. Builds plot.

Anirudh: can I opt out of this group chat or is this part of the punishment?

anirudh: If you're gonna whine this much, at least rhyme it

Shree.exe: Poetry slam at 7. The loser buys tea.

radha98%:if I wanted your opinion, I'd've asked your fan club
(oh wait. you probably run that too)

no_shit _kavya: the tension. the spice. the potential court case.

Ash.i:I miss when this group chat was about syllabus and snacks 😭

rizzball:yeah same
This is going downhill, and I'm too soft for this

Shree.exe: I volunteer as a ghostwriter. For the insults.
You're both getting repetitive.

Tea. Risha:I volunteer as a director
