She also breaks the Science model made by Kiran, slaps Prishita and spills ink all over the Maths Test papers much to the anger of Yadav Sir, their Maths teacher. After being told that they have to write a new test, the students complain to Yadav sir, Vincent sir and Sharma Ma'am that Alisha did all of this work.

But everyone was ignoring her completely and later removed her from the room. After she leaves Prishita follows her to fight with her. After Vincent Sir sees this, he explains to Prishita that everyone should get a chance. While this happens Rafey quickly comes running to inform Alisha that her mother is admitted in the hospital due to stress.
