I woke up quite late the next morning, the clock was about to tick at 10, as my eyes fluttered at the sudden light in the room. Tossing and turning, I finally got a hold of my phone, as the screen displayed a few texts from mom, asking if I enjoyed the movie yesterday, and then there was my best friend, asking if I was dead cause I didn't reply to her since yesterday night, but one specific text caught my eye, it was at the bottom of all.



Adnan🦋

It was fun yesterday, hope you had a good time too, I'll see you later today then!

I grinned at the text and replied him with a smiley face, pulling myself together, I jointed up from the bed and walked to the restroom. I stretched out a bit, then got to the living room and saw aunt sitting on couch, as she was sipping on her morning tea along with the newspaper held in her hand, I greeted her good morning and then went to table to get whatever was kept on it, finished my food and got back in my room, changed into some decent clothes and went out to the rooftop, I took in all the air in my lungs and breathed out.

I waited for Deena who was at the institute, busy studying for the upcoming exams, and here I was, being the most unbothered person on the planet. Leaving that aside, Deena reached home at 1, giving us only about an hour to get ready, I did not think much about today's outfit, as it was still the middle of summer, I wore a pair of jeans along with a shirt, ending the outfit with a pair of black converse shoes. Deena followed the pattern, it would be better to say that we were just being lazy after the exhausting experience the other day.

After wasting our time for about another half an hour, we finally took off and met up with Adnan, Noman and Danish at the arcade, it was quite near the house so, it wasn't much of a problem for us to get there. However, Danish and Noman were somehow there, we didn't actually plan on inviting them, just an outing for me, Deena and Adnan, but guess, fate had something planned.

'So, what first?' I said, looking around the dark place, I forgot how long it had been since I had been to an arcade, just looking around brings back so many memories. Deena was smiling ear to ear, though we weren't truly excited, but now that we were here, it was too good to not be interested anymore.

'Bet how much, I would beat you in the shooting range' I scoffed before running behind her, while the guys, just stared around in confusion.

'Oh, you're on' I said, before taking the gun in my hands, and breaking into a smile as a memory flashed, we played this game so badly when we were kids, and it would be so competitive for no god damn reason, well, nothing much has changed, aside from the fact that we're now about 3 feet taller than before.

'So, what's going on?' She asked, while shooting the target, I zoned out, staring at Adnan's back, and got snapped out when Deena nudged me, she was grinning.
