When Dimple Met Rishi

A week passes, and Celia and Dimple discuss the “Big Kiss,” with Celia excitedly proclaiming that Rishi and Dimple are fated to be together. Dimple says she doesn’t believe in fate, but she does believe in logic, and logically, she doesn’t think she should go on the non-date.

In class, Dimple and Rishi continue to work on their app, and Dimple is impressed with Rishi’s sketches for the layout. She finds herself getting lost in the memory of their kiss, and Rishi reveals he has a plan for their non-date. Isabelle approaches them in a revealing outfit and tells Rishi she didn’t realize his father was the CEO of Global Comm. She says her dad wants to have his parents over for dinner. Dimple is shocked to learn that Rishi’s father is the CEO of a multibillion-dollar company and surprised that Rishi is different from the wealthy kids she knows. Out of the blue, she remembers a famous Emily Brontë quote: “Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same” (190). Rishi tells Isabelle he’ll pass along the message and then changes the subject to get rid of her. He tells Dimple he’ll pick her up that night at seven.
