Next, it was my turn… and i know that, I was done.
Okay, this is it. Everything is about to end. I'm dead. My brain was running wild, like, what am I even supposed to expect now?
Ankush finally spoke. "It's your turn," he said, wearing a very evil smile.
They asked me, "Truth or dare?"
"Truth, guys!" I said quickly.
"BORING!" they shouted together.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm boring," I replied. "Now come on, I really don't care."
That's when Ankush smirked and asked the one question I was afraid of.
"So… do you like someone?"
And I was like—bro.
Why would you ask me that?
Shakshi, Rohini, and Priyan already knew something was going on inside me.
My heart started pounding, my palms were sweating, and my cheeks felt like they were on fire. But somehow, I gathered enough courage and said,
"No… not like that."
Then, trying to sound casual, I added, "But I love you guys."
I smiled, but inside, I was a complete mess. I couldn't even explain what I was feeling.
I tried avoiding Subho because I was blushing really badly.
Seriously, Ankush.
Anyway, the game continued with more fun dares and interesting truths.
One of the dares given to Priyan was to dance in front of the restaurant.
It was so funny and embarrassing at the same time that we couldn't stop laughing.
We laughed and enjoyed like, 'Zindagi na milegi dobara.'
Nothing can replace the stories of school life. They truly are the best part of our lives.
That evening was perfect.
The music slowly stopped, our plates were empty, and only leftover drinks remained. The boys were chatting among themselves, and we girls were doing the same.
Then Shakshi said, "Guys, I'm tired."
So we headed towards our villa where we were staying. We got into the car—this time, Ankush was driving.
Subho took the seat beside the driver. Shakshi sat with Priyan, and Rohini sat with me.
We were all exhausted.
Soon, Shakshi, Priyan, and Subho fell asleep.
Only Rohini and Ankush were half-awake.
It was almost 11 p.m. when we reached the villa. We got out of the car.
"Kal milte hain," everyone said to each other.
The boys went to their room, and we went to ours...
And ..... then....
