"It's Friday night!" Alex's voice boomed with excitement over the phone. This whole week has been a wild mix of classes, basketball practices, and whatnot. Finally, a chance to relax! We both agreed to hit the gaming arcade, but I had a condition: "we'd stop by the gym first" Alex tried to whine and resist but eventually caved in to my gym plans.
So, here we are, at the gym. As I started running on the treadmill, my mind wandered off. A dream which I had at the start of the week , the nightmare, it kept sneaking back into my thoughts. It had been haunting me all week, and it was getting exhausting. But I hadn't told Alex about it yet. He'd probably noticed I was acting a bit strange lately.
While I was lost in my thoughts, Alex called out for help with the bench press. I snapped back to reality and went to assist him, but that eerie dream kept lingering in the back of my mind. After that we had a good workout and took some pictures as alex insisted on it coz he rarely visits the gym

LATER- After our gym session, Alex and I headed to the gaming arcade, and let me tell you, it was a total blast! The lights, the games, the laughter.......everything worked wonders in diverting my thoughts from that haunting nightmare.
But as we strolled back home from the arcade, out of the blue, Alex hit me with a question: "tell me, is something bothering you, man?" I was taken aback for a moment, but then, like a dam bursting, I let it all spill—the nightmares that have been robbing me of sleep for what feels like ages. Every eerie detail just tumbled out.
Alex, ever the patient listener, offered some advice, suggesting I restart my meditation therapy and be cautious around strangers...I Listened to him carefully...hugged him tight....as to thank him for always being there for me.... I never say these things to him...But he is really precious to me...... these nightmares i am having are from an incident which happened with me in my childhood.. Back in my room, the evening wind whispered it's lullabies through the slightly ajar window as I prepared for my bed, My gaze drifted, landing upon the glasses which were adorning my nightstand, they sent butterflies to my stomach making me forget all about those nightmares...A smile crept on my face as I thought of her.
In the midst of a whirlwind week packed with basketball practices and a heap of responsibilities, she still lingered in my thoughts. As the tournament approached my plans of getting to know her and much more were getting delayed. Another reason for it was they're classes getting cancelled because of some mishap which took place in they're building due to which I was not even able to see much of her.
