The celebration dinner after the cultural fest was a lively affair. Avika, Shrivi, Luv, and Arnav laughed and reminisced about the day’s events over a spread of delicious food. They chose a cozy restaurant near campus, one that had quickly become their favorite hangout spot.
**Avika:**
"To our first big win together! Cheers!"
**Everyone:**
"Cheers!"
As the night wore on, the conversation turned deeper. The warm atmosphere and the day’s triumphs had everyone in high spirits and more open than usual.
**Shrivi:**
"You know, I never thought college would be this much fun. I’m really glad we all met."
**Arnav:**
"Yeah, it’s been a blast. And I think we’ve only just begun. There are so many more memories to make."
**Luv:**
"So, what’s something we don’t know about each other yet? Let’s share something personal."
They all hesitated for a moment, but the curiosity to know more about each other won out.
**Avika:**
"I’ll go first. When I was in high school, I used to be incredibly shy. I could barely speak up in class. Joining the psychology program was my way of challenging myself to be more outgoing."
**Shrivi:**
"Wow, I never would have guessed that. You seem so confident now."
**Avika:**
"Thanks, Shrivi. It’s been a work in progress."
**Luv:**
"Okay, my turn. I’ve always had a passion for music, but my family wanted me to pursue business. It’s been tough balancing both, but I couldn’t give up on either."
**Arnav:**
"Respect, man. Following your passion while meeting expectations isn’t easy."
**Shrivi:**
"Alright, here’s mine. I’ve always dreamed of writing a novel. It’s something I’ve been working on in secret for a while now."
**Avika:**
"That’s amazing, Shrivi! I’d love to read it someday."
**Arnav:**
"Guess it’s my turn. I’m a bit of a tech geek. I love coding and building things from scratch. It’s like solving puzzles for me."
They all shared a moment of silence, absorbing these new layers of their friends' lives. It felt good to be understood and accepted, secrets and all.
**Luv:**
"You know, it feels great to share this stuff. I feel closer to you guys."
**Avika:**
"Me too. We should make this a regular thing. Maybe not secrets every time, but just being open and honest."
They all agreed, and the conversation drifted to lighter topics again. The night ended with them making plans for the next weekend and promising to keep their tradition of open sharing alive.
As they walked back to campus, Avika and Shrivi lagged behind slightly, talking in hushed tones.
**Shrivi:**
"You know, Avika, I think I’m starting to like Luv more than just a friend."
**Avika:**
"I had a feeling. The way you two connect is pretty special."
**Shrivi:**
"What about you? How do you feel about Arnav?"
**Avika:**
"I’m not sure yet. There’s definitely something there, but I need more time to figure it out."
The girls exchanged a knowing look, their friendship growing even stronger with each shared confession.
Meanwhile, Luv and Arnav walked ahead, discussing their own thoughts.
**Luv:**
"Shrivi’s amazing, isn’t she? I’ve never met anyone like her."
**Arnav:**
"Yeah, she’s great. And Avika... she’s something else. I think I might be falling for her."
They both smiled, the possibilities of what could be fueling their steps as they made their way back to the dorms. The night sky above them seemed to twinkle with promise, the stars a silent witness to the blossoming feelings within the group.
As they reached their dorms, they bid each other goodnight, each carrying the warmth of the evening into their dreams.
