"Booboo!" "Sory sory sory sory sory sory sory SOly SOly SOly sory sory sory sory!" "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?" "I just said that in the heat of the moment." "They must've forgotten by now." "Have you registered for the election yet?" "Registration is open." "Anchal..." "So what does 'Horny' mean?" "Oh my God, are you serious?" "E_!" "Yuck!" "So only men can he horny, right?" " No. no." "Women also!" "No way!" "I read it in Mummy's Jackie Collins novel!" "Gross!" "Listen, I'm sory about what I said." "You're not a bigger loser than I am." "Yeah, we're both equal." "No, I'm the bigger loser." "That's true..." " What?" "I have a bo_riend now." "That makes me cooler." "Oooh, Ashish!" " Stop it, he's sweet." "Ooooh sweet?" "!" " Shut up!" "Anchal and Ashish sitting on a tree..." "Kissi..." " l'm going to kill you!" "I see that you've dumped Ashish for your true love, Anchal." "What do you want nom l just registered for the election." "Your turn." "Unless you're scared..." "Oh please!" "I'll do it right away." "Let's go, Anchal." " Awesome." "One." "Two." "Three." "And four." "Great, I have four votes." "That's not so bad." "Just be positive, Gippi." "That's how I got Anchal!" "Right, Anchal?" "Yes." "I think we need a plan." "Let's make a list of things 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 she has that you don't." "A waist?" "I have a wastebin." "Hot body." "What else?" "She has like 300 friends." "Ooh!" "Popularity." "And she gets 900/o evey year." "Good marks." "And she has a bo_riend." " Kabir's not her bo_riend!" "If eveyone thinks they're together then it's the same thing." "Bo_riend." "Ok next?" "What next?" "How am I supposed to get these things?" "We'll help you, Gippi." "Yeah, let's start right away." "Yeah, come on!" "Hot bod_, remember?" "He_, Gips." "Didi?" "Didi, wait..." "Mummy's here!" "Maybe she'll have a plan!" "Let's go!" "Come on!" "Hury!" "What's this?" "Your father's wedding card." "But he hasn't even called yet!" "He did." "I guess I forgot to tell you." "What do you mean you forgot?" "How does it matter?" "You know now, don't you?" "What about the rest of the ceremonies?" "Like when they put henna and that yellow stuff all over?" "When are those?" "Do you still love Papa, Mummy?" "No, sweetheart." "It's not that." "You can talk to me, Mummy." "Really?" "Have you grown up so much?" "Do you knowwhy your father and I got divorced?" "Because you fought all the time." "And do you knowwhy we fought?" "No." "Because your father was ashamed to have me as his wife." "He wanted a beautiful, smart, classy wife." "Not a small-town, unsophisticated woman like me." "Really?" " He used to be after me eveyday." "'Dress properly!" "Learn howto talk!" "Stop embarrassing me!" "'" "One da_, I got tired of this humiliation." "I told him to divorce me if he hated me so much." "And he actually did it?" "It seemed like he had been waiting for that day." "I never thought Papa could be like that." "It's vey difficult to find a man who knows all your flaws, and still loves you." "When he called that da_, I got scared." "You'll have a new mother now." "Beautiful, young, must be stylish too..." "So that's what it is!" "Do you think that Jennifer is better than you?" "She's nothing compared to you!" "She's really dumb and boring!" "And I think she's losing her hair too!" "She'll be bald in no time!" "We can't stand her!" "So, I have nothing to fear then?" "Not at all." "As you all know, the new Head Boy and Girl elections are vey near." "So let's meet the candidates." "Ladies first." "Thank you guys, thank you so much." "As you already know, I'm Shamira Chauhan and I want to become your next Head Girl."

"I'm president of the sports club, and captain of the basketball team." "I've won 2 medals for mathematics, 4 for histoy and I for science." "And, of course, I represented our school.."

"Come, my child." "Hi eveyone..." "My name is Gurpreet Kaur." "Eveyone calls me Gippi." "You can call me Gippi too." "I think I should become the next Head Girl because I'm fun..." "And funny..." "And I suck at speeches so I've prepared something for you." "If eveybody could clear the stage please?" "Didi!" "Didi!" "Gurpreet Kaur, ladies and gentlemen." "Oops, sory. "Gippi"." "She was right, she really is vey funny." "And the funniest thing is that she thinks she can win this election." "Wow, hilarious!" "Why do we even ty?" "I'm done. I was stupid to think I could beat her." "What are you doing here?" " l... lf you're here to make fun of me, then please go away." "Why do you always think that about me?" "You're always with that Shamira, so... I know." "But I don't want to be with her anymore. I want to be with you." "What are you talking about?" "I like you, Gippi." "I want you to win this election." "But... why?" "Remember when you fell off your chair on the first day of class?" "Yeah..." "Do you knowwhat I told Shamira that day?" "That girl is such a loser?" "No!" "I told her that I used to do that in my old school all the time." "Were you a loser in your old school?" "No, I was just... a regular guy." "I guess boys' schools are different." "Here they make such a big deal out of evemhing." "I wish I were a boy." " No, I like that you're a girl." "Anywa_, don't give up now, Gippi." "You can win this election." "Excuse me, Sister." " Yes?" "May I?" " Sure!" "Hi eveyone." "I just wanted to finish my introduction properly." "I'm Gippi." "I don't have any medals or certificates." "I suck at studies and I can't play any sport." "I can only do one thing well, and that's dance!" "But you sawthat for yourself, didn't you?" "And, let's admit it." "Most of you are like me." "We're not great at studies, we hate sports." "We think we're fat or ugly or stupid and that eveyone is better than us." "But trust me, it's not like that." "We're all the same." "So, if you want your Head Girl to be some great achiever, then vote for Shamira." "But if you want your Head Girl to be like you, then vote for Gippi!" "The male reproductive organ is called the penis." "It is supported by a pair of testicles." "Silence class, silence!" "The testicles are..." " Excuse me, Ma'am." "Yes?" "Ma'am today is my birthday."

" Don't move!" "Gippi?" "Papa?" " Hi love, have you eaten yet?" "We're not here to eat, Papa!" "Don't you think you should go talk to Mummy?" "It wasn't easy for her to come here." "We need to talk." "Whenever I run into you, or think of you, I feel like shit." "I..." "No, it's not your fault." "I mean, you were kind of ajerk  but I also acted like a silly girl." "I..." "So, I just wanted to say that I'm over it." "We're cool now." "You're different. I like it." "I know, I like it too." "So, nowthat we're friends, do you wanna hang out some time?" "Why don't you ty finding girls your own age?" "Here's my Gippo!" "Where did you run off to?" "I thought I'd give you guys a moment alone." "I see." "She looks just like you, Pappi."

"I don't know... they wanted to take me shopping, give me advice..." "Huh?" "Maybe Shamira's planning something." "Isn't it too late for a plan?" "Hmm." "Oh my God!" "It could mean just one thing then!" "Even they think that you're going to win." "Shit!" "Are you really going to become the Head Girl, Gippi?" "You know, they're right." "You should go shopping with them." "Lets not take any chances right now." "But I promised you we would go together." "Just go." "Don't wory about me." "I'll always be around."

"I thought our first dance together should be to your favorite Shammi Kapoor's song." "Choose one." "Didn't you like the gift?" "No, I love it." "But..." "Kabir... I shouldn't do these stupid dances anymore." "Doesn't suit a Head Girl." " Seriously?" "No, but I love all these songs!" "Tumne mujhe dekhaaa..." "Are you going to be like this next year?" "What do you mean?" " You're already changed so much..." "And you haven't even won the election yet." "Do you want me to always be a laughingstock?" "Gippi, they were laughing with you, not at you." "That's why they voted for you." "Look at yourself." "These shoes, this dress." "What have you done to your hair?" "Do you knowwho you remind me of?" "Shamira." "So, what's wrong with looking like her?" "Well, congratulations." "Mission accomplished." "What's wrong, Shamira?" "What do you think?" "You're going to win tonight." "You know it." "I know it." "Eveyone knows it." "And you also knowthat you have done nothing to deserve it." "And what have you done?" "Besides humiliating eveyone around you?" "Oh really?" "You think that's all I've done?" "Do you knowthat I wake up at 5am eveyday?" "I take morning classes to keep my grades up!" "And then at school, while you sit around gossiping  I manage clubs, practice sports, hold conferences... I don't get a single moment off." "My hair has to be perfect." "My skin has to be perfect." "Even my goddamn socks need to be perfect." "Do you know, I haven't had icecream in 3 years?" "And you're going to become Head Girl nom" "Without doing any of this?" "Do you even knowwhat being a Head Girl means?" "Hi Gippi!" " Where were you?" "Gorgeous dress!" "Have you guys seen Anchal?" "Oh my God!" "She's wearing the most ridiculous dress!" "Come, come!" "Wow, Gippi." "You look so beautiful tonight." "Wish we could say the same for you!" "A Head Girl can't be seen with someone like that!" "is that your grandma's dress?" "Isn't it hideous?" "Guys, I think she looks great!" " She obviously needs help." "Tell her to go change, Gippi." "Maybe she'll listen to you." "Gippi..." "Say something..." "Children, children, children!" "It gives me great joy to see you all looking so beautiful and happy." "Mery Christmas, all of you!" " Mery Christmas!" "It's time for election results!" "May the current Head Girl and Boy come on stage please." "Ladies first." "The new Head Girl of St. May's Convent is..." "Gurpreet Kaur!" "Gurpreet, my child, please come up on stage and take your badge." "Congratulations!" " Thank you, Ma'am." "Oh shit. I actually won." "Actuall_, I wasn't interested in this election at all."

"My mother, who has always inspired me." "My brother, who supports me in evemhing I do." "And my best friend Anchal, who..." "Hi!" "Who..." "Has always been there for me, unconditionally." "And who I was going to insult publicl_, before this announcement." "I'm so sor_, Anchal." "How could I be such an ass?" "I can never become Shamira." "And you knowwhat?" "I don't even want to!" "I don't want to stand here and give a speech." "I want to sit in the corner with Anchal and crack stupid jokes." "I want to take this uncomfortable dress off and put pajamas on." "I don't want green tea!" "I want my Mummy's samosas!" "I want to do silly Shammi Kapoor dances with Kabir." "I'm really sory guys, if I'm letting you down." "If you ever need a friend, I'm always here." "But for now..." "Sister, may I please step back from the election?" "There." "Go." "Are you serious?" " Yeah, dude!" "Go!" "But, on one condition."
