12. Two Minds Same Forgetness

  [ Yuna closed the app. ]

  Yuna: I can't tell you about his past, Mika. That's not something I can say to someone I just met… I hope you’ll know sooner or later.

  Krishna: I made a promise that I won't tell you about his past. But I'll make sure Yuki says it himself.

  [ Back in Mika's room, she's tapping her pen against the desk. ]

  Mika: Maybe he is like me.

  [ Her phone on the desk buzzed; the vibration caught her attention. She opened it, and it was a message from Yuna. It says… ]

  Yuna: Sis, I forgot something important. DO NOT TRUST HIS WORDS. It might be a bit dramatic, but he doesn't just lie; he creates a whole new story for it. Never trust him without asking me.

  Mika: She didn't sound like joking, I'll keep that in mind.

  [ She starts to type, but another message pops up. ]

  Yuna: Can you spy on him? I know it kinda sounds creepy, but I want to know what's happening in his school life. He won't tell me everything about it.

  Mika: Yuki got an annoying sister. Okay, I'll do it for you, and thanks for telling me all of this. (Sent it) I almost sent “thanks for your information”.

  [ Scene shifts to Yuna, looking at her phone; the bunk bed is just a few feet away. Yuki finally woke up. ]

  Yuki: I took too much time. What is she doing right there?

  [ Yuki notices Yuna sitting at her desk.

  [ Yuki climbed down from the top bunk and walked to Yuna and tapped on her shoulder. ]

  Yuna: (startled) What are you doing here?

  Yuki: I would like to ask you that.

  Yuna: Can't you see I'm doing my homework?

  Yuki: Something is up. She is hiding something.

  [ He let out a yawn. ]

  Yuki: I'm not in the mood to find it out.

  Krishna: (smiles) This will be the worst mistake, Yuki.

  [ Scene switches to Mika, who is eating lunch with her mother. ]

  Mika: I'm positive that he is like me. Am I forgetting something?

  [ Scene cuts to Yuki walking away from her, and she sits in the chair beside her. ]

  Yuna: Yuki, what happened to your group project?

  [ Scene cuts to Mika, sitting at the dining table and thinking. ]

  Mika: Oh my god.

  [ Scene cuts to Yuki sitting on the chair. ]

  Yuki: I totally forgot about it.

  [ The scene cuts to Mika, hit in hard realisation. ]

  Mika: I totally forgot about it.

  Harini: What did you forget?

  [ The scene cuts to Yuki sitting on the same chair, holding his head. ]

  Yuki: We have to submit our project on Monday.

  [ Scene cuts to Mika sitting on the dining table, tapping the table. ]

  Mika: We only have two days to submit our group project, three if I include today.

  [ Scene cuts to Yuki with his phone. Searching for Angelina in SayHi. ]

  Yuki: I have no other options. I need a favour. (sent it.)

  Angelina: (message pops) You can ask others, you know, there are a lot of people.

  Yuki: Come on, you're the only girl I know. Annoying as ever.

  Angelina: (message pops) You know that I won't help you.

  Yuki: That's a misunderstanding, you know, and it's important.

  Angelina: (message pops) Okay, fine, what is it?

  Yuki: I want to talk to Mika.

  Angelina: (message pops) Oh, I get it, the shy guy fell in love with someone.

  Yuki: This is why I hate friends. It's worse — we forgot about the group project.

  [ Scene cuts to Angelina's phone. She got a message from Mika. ]

  Angelina: How could you even forget that? What is she up to?

  [ She clicks Mika on the list of people. ]

  Mika: I want to talk to Yuki.

  Angelina: He said the same.

  Mika: So you do have his ID.

  Angelina: He is my old friend after all.

  Mika: You didn't tell me that, and if he is your old friend, how is it that you don't know about him?

  Angelina: I get it, he is not like others. He barely talks; he only replies to me, and even if I ask him anything. He always brushes it off.

  Mika: Oh, I see. Sounds like him.

  Angelina: This is his ID, "Yuki12".

  [ Scene shifts to Mika's phone. ]

  Mika: Okay, fine.

  [ She texted hi to Yuki, and he replied. ]

  Yuki: Yeah, I remember, I know why you're texting me.

  Mika: Impressive, you finally remember it now.

  Yuki: Thanks to my sister, I remember it. What are we gonna do?

  Mika: I'm just as clueless as you.

  Yuki: I'm not good at planning, so why don't you do it? Please?

  Mika: You say this, but you'll be thinking something like "this is such a pain to ask her", don't you? Fine, I'll tell you at school.

  Krishna: Tada, you guessed it right. Anyway, you wouldn't hear this.

  [ Mika is looking at the ceiling like it has a solution. ]

  Harini: (faint voice) You got a partner who is just like you.

  Mika: That's right, though.
