Case No. 14/02 · The Court of Feelings

⁠Aarav⁠ v. My Heart

The defendant is charged with taking my hoodie, most of my fries and all of my attention. All rise.

Your honour, the defendant smiled at me across a crowded canteen one Tuesday in March, and I have not had a productive afternoon since.

Witness statements

Sworn testimony from people who have had to listen to me

Checks the phone, smiles, pretends not to. Every five minutes. It's exhausting.
Priya, flatmate
I was there the day they met. I said "oh no". I was right.
Rohan, best friend, unreliable
Asked me how to make filter coffee "the way ⁠Aarav⁠ likes it". Three times.
Amma
Has a playlist called "for ⁠Aarav⁠". It is four hours long.
The group chat, unanimously
