By the time we reached our resort,it was already dark. The walk back to our rooms was quite but there was something present in between us. Something I couldn't pinpoint and something I couldn't understand.

I glanced towards our intertwined hands. We were walking hand in hand, it wasn't something new but it wasn't like before too.

Arsh didn't seem to notice and it did nothing but make me very still. I couldn't pull back,as if my body didn't want to.

Even though it was different, it didn't feel wrong.

The stars shined above us as we made our way towards our friends. They were all setting up something, I looked around trying to understand.

Siara,who was setting up some chairs,noticed me first and,

"Oh,you both came back! C'mon, we're setting up the bon fire!" She waved towards the woods placed in the middle of the semi circle they had created with the chairs.

Someone called out Arsh to help them with something and he left my hand and walked towards them.

I stared at my empty hand, A shiver ran through me. It was as if he took all the warmth along with him.

"Amaya, Can you go and bring uno from my room? It's placed on the table,you'll find it easily." Noor asked me,

I nodded and walked inside the resort, reaching up to her room,I opened the door and searched for the uno cards. Finding them on a small coffee table, I took them and went outside.

Everyone was settled on their chairs,with snacks and Ekansh with his guitar.

The only chair left was beside Arsh so I quickly made my way towards him and sat down.

He was now sketching something in his sketchbook.

Anahira bought s'mores and we gazed at the stars,played uno and ate snacks.

Siara placed her card over everyone else's and,

"UNO! I won again!" She laughed and Anahira messed up her hair,

"This is so not fair,what am I even doing wrong?" She exclaimed frustratingly.

And everyone broke into a laughter.

Everyone was happy and cheerful, cracking jokes every now and then. I couldn't help but think about how I'll probably never see these people again in my life.

In these few days, I've gotten really close with Noor,Anahira and Siara. I'll miss them.

"Okay, now it's time for some music." Ekansh smiled and started playing his guitar.

We all danced in our places, singing along with him.

I looked at Arsh and he was still sketching, I nudged him to sing along and he only shook his head.
