Scene 1: INT. COLLEGE FESTIVAL BACKSTAGE – EVENING
The room is chaotic—costumes, makeup kits, laughter. Arjun, a nervous first year, finds himself cornered by a group of senior girls.
SENIOR GIRL 1 (grinning) Freshman, you’ve been chosen. Tonight, you’re our masterpiece.
ARJUN (confused) Chosen… for what? I was just looking for the washroom!
The girls laugh, pulling him into a chair. One adjusts a wig, another applies blush, while a third puts him in a pair of heels.
SENIOR GIRL 2 Trust us, you’ll look fabulous.
ARJUN Fabulous isn’t exactly my… problem.
They burst out laughing as Arjun stumbles to his feet, wobbling in the heels trying to get away but ending up falling on his butt.
Scene 2: INT. FESTIVAL STAGE – NIGHT
The curtain rises. Arjun is shoved forward from the side while the spotlight blinds him. The crowd gasps, then bursts into laughter and applause.
ARJUN (whispering to himself) Okay… Just don’t fall. Don’t fall…
He trips on his saree and then turns the stumble into a goofy 360-degree spin. The audience roars with delight. Encouraged, Arjun exaggerates his movements, striking silly feminine poses.
SENIOR GIRL 3 (from the wings, surprised) He’s actually owning it! Even the audience loves him.
Arjun bows dramatically, basking in the cheers. His nervousness melts into a wide grin.
ARJUN (to the crowd, playful) Thank you. I’ll be here all semester!
All the senior girls clap and whistle, realizing their prank has turned into his moment of triumph.
Scene 3: INT. BACKSTAGE – AGAIN
Arjun sits with the seniors, still in his female getup, laughing with them.
SENIOR GIRL 1 We thought you’d run off crying. But you turned it into a show.
ARJUN (smiling) Guess I’m not as fragile as I look in heels.
They all laugh. The prank has shifted into camaraderie.
