PART VII
"A kiss" Arjun said.
Never had my cheeks felt so hot before this. It was like my face was on fire. I was probably as red as a beetroot.
"I swear arjun, if you have a death wish then tell me straighaway. No need to come up with such lame excuses to die"
I told him threatningly but it made him laugh instead.
Seriously, Now i was seriously doubting my threatning looks!! They never seem to work on these idiots.
"Calm down, i was just kidding but it would be an advantage for the loser as well as the winner. Its a win-win situation. Think about it" He said holding up his hands in surrender.
And by this time he had already been punched hard by both trisha and dhruv, who himself looked red hot.
"Actually, the winner will get a chance to ask the loser any one , i repeat, only one thing to ask. It could be anything personal as well but it should be appropriate." Trisha suggested.
That was better. Actually anything was better than stupid suggestions of bloody meathead Arjun.
The game started and i realised that this was the same game my brother used to play back at home and always beat me to it.
We selected the players and the level and the game begun. The screen divided into two parts ,right side showing my player and the left side showing his player.
We had to just win the race leaving behind the other 10 players by using the powers we had in the wood boxes kept in the way.
We were to play 4 levels of it and the one who will win 3 of them, will automatically be the winner.
Trisha and arjun were constantly cheering us. Arjun taking dhruvs side and trisha mine.
Dhruv won the level one because he knew all the turns and the directions, i on the other hand was struggling with them because we had to look into something in the corner of the screen that looked like a map.
Well atleast it looked like one.
Level two started and i got hold of the controller. I was playing these games after years and so it took some time for me to get used to the functions of the controller.
This level had many new powers and the path changed to something more curvy and fenceless .
I stood 3rd in this level well atleast it was better than rank 8 in level one. dhruv was 2nd.
So he had won this level too.
If i lose one more level, ill lose the bet and ill have to live with that forever because i was the one who provoked him.
That didnt seem like a very good idea.
Fortunately, i won the level 3rd which was way more difficult because it had lots of water in it where the car slowed down.
Dhruv looked like he was happy even after loosing . that confused me. Why would he be happy if he lose the bet? Or that level for that matter?i had no idea what was going on in his mind and i was too scared to know.
The fourth level begun and we both were still, eyes in the screen , adrenaline rush in our blood, ready to push the buttons on the flashing of the green flag.
If i win this level, that means it would be a tie .and we will have to play another level. But if dhruv wins, he wins the bet as well.
I lost by seconds.
Just a few seconds.
I was right behind him and about to use one of the powers on him that would stop him right there but before i could use it , he had already crossed the finish line.
