TRISHA'S POV🌷

As I stepped into the mall, the familiar scent of popcorn, cold temperature and the sound of laughter filled the air, instantly lifting my spirits. Today was a much-needed break from our hectic schedules , and I was excited to spend the day with my friends-Aan, Samiksha, and Sidhant.

Our first stop was Time Zone, the arcade that always promised endless fun. As we entered, the bright lights and the sounds of games enveloped us. I felt a rush of excitement. "Let's start with the racing game!" I suggested, and they all agreed enthusiastically.

We gathered around the racing machines, and I slid into my seat, heart racing in anticipation. The game began, and I focused intently on the screen, trying to ignore the playful banter from my friends. Ruhaan was right next to me, and I could hear him cheering for himself as he sped ahead. But I was determined to win. With a final burst of speed, I crossed the finish line just ahead of him, and I couldn't help but let out a triumphant cheer.

"Beginner's luck!" he teased, but I Stuck out my tongue and then I just laughed, feeling the thrill of victory. We moved on to play a variety of games-shooting hoops, air hockey. Each game brought more laughter and friendly competition, and I cherished every moment.

I saw a claw machine, where a a Teddy which have specs on peeks out amongst other soft toys.

My eyes sparkled,"Oh my gosh, look at that Teddy! I wanted this. I loved it!"

Aan smiled and nudge my shoulder, "Well, go for it! You've got this, Isha."

I excitedly inserts my tokens, my hands trembling slightly as 1 maneuvers the claw. I take a deep breath, my focus intense. The claw descends, but despite my best efforts, it only grasps air, dropping down without the Teddy.

I deflated, "Gosh come on! I thought I had it!"

Sidhant teased,"Maybe you need a little more practice, Trisha. Or a magic touch!"

Samiksha Smirked, "Or maybe a superhero to swoop in and help!"

This girl.

Ruhaan who was overhearing our conversation, steps up with a determined look.

Aan said, "Alright, let me give it a shot. I can't let you leave without that teddy."

I watches anxiously as Ruhaan approaches the machine. He inserts his own tokens, adjusting the joystick confidently. With a steady hand, he aligns the claw perfectly and drops it. The claw closes around the teddy, lifting it triumphantly before dropping it into the prize chute.

I gasped in delight and jumped on him like a monkey my hands around his shoulder, "You did it! You actually did it! That's my Teddy"

Ruhaan grins, retrieving the toy and handing it to me.
