Overthinking:Yes,you have to cry for doing such thing.Its your fault.You were fooled by your friend.

(Overthinking continues scolding him,but brain and heart couldn't stop it as Deepak mind is over taken by overthinking.He goes into bed with the disappointment.He recollects his past memories.)

Present (morning)

(He wakes up suddenly.His eyes becomes red,his face looks very dull.His mind is little disturbed.He brushes.He completes his bath.Yet his face doesn't look fresh.Though He is not hungry,he eats a food little for taking tablets.Then he takes the mobile phone and looks at the app.He almost goes to delete it.But a notification pops from the app.He opens the app.He checks what the notification is.Its nothing someone followed him.By seeing that Deepaks mind becomes fresh.The heart and The brain regains their control.)

(In Deepaks mind)

Heart :See,as I told you.Just you have to believe in your self.

Brain:yeah,I agree with him.

Deepak :(blushes) sorry for what happened yesterday.😅

Heart:No problem.🤗

Brain:But control your emotions.If you couldn't,they control you and may also lead to death

Deepak: Ok, I'll try my best.

Overthinking:But does he really followed you.

Heart: Can't you see it?

Deepak: Ok,Let's see who is he.

(While Deepak going to check the person who followed him he receives a message from him.The message is " Hi I am Rakesh. Your classmate".He replies to the message "oh ,hi".In the same way he receives many notifications and messages.He replies all messages.This makes Deepak happy and nervous too.)

(In his mind)

Heart: Are you happy?

Deepak: Yeah, feeling little tense.

Overthinking: It's because you can't communicate with people.Its waste of time.Just leave it.

Heart: No...(Falters)

(Deepak again feels a negative vibe.Then all of sudden a notification pops from the app and this time a girl follows him)
