"Where have we reached?" Myra said in a raspy voice rubbing her eyes and flattening her now messy and tangled hair.

"Well, it's about time you woke up." Dhruv said smiling, looking at Myra.

"Yeah, sorry! I dozed off on your shoulder. I didn't know that I was this tired." Myra sleepily said taking out her water bottle.

"Nah, it's alright Myra." Dhruv said smiling.

"Both of you stop talking please, I'm trying to sleep here." Naina said adjusting her position and leaned on the window, her brows knitted, she squeezed her eyes shut wanting to get back to her dream.

"Liar! That's what you say every time. But let me tell you slept like a baby." Dhruv let out a laugh, shaking his head and looked ahead.

"Now wake up, we're almost there." Dhruv said poking Naina on the head.

"Okay students get down. One by one, we'll halt at this hotel for half an hour. We'll have our breakfast here, so hurry up! We have to leave too." Ayesha ma'am said getting off the bus and leading the group.

All of them got off the bus. The restroom got a bit crowded considering the strength of the students who came for the trip. There were 2 buses full of students.

Myra, Naina and Tanya managed to squeeze into the restroom. They got freshened up and came out and to the hall where everyone was eating their breakfast. Myra was looking for a vacant spot for them to sit since students were coming in and all the vacant spots were getting occupied.

"Naina listen, why don't you get breakfast for both us and I'll secure us an empty spot? Because if we both go, then I don't think we'll be able to find an empty spot, yeah?" Myra said glancing around to see how many vacant spots were left.

"Yeah you go and I'll get us both some breakfast." Naina patted on Myra's back and dashed off to get both them some breakfast.

Myra took the corner most spot and, it was a was round table with 5 chairs.

"Ahh finally, breakfast! I'm starving I swear." Myra said rubbing her hands together eyeing the breakfast.

"Mind if we sit next to you?"

Myra and Naina turned their heads to see the owner of the voice and saw the whole group consisting of Siddharth, Ayaan and Tanya standing there awkwardly looking at the two of them and waiting for their response.

"Ah yeah I suppose please sit." Myra said pulling out the chair beside her.

Siddharth took the seat besides Myra and Ayaan sat on the left side of Naina and Tanya took the chair in front of them.

"I just wish we could speed up this process and would just reach Solang valley already!" Ayaan said in a tired voice.

"Agreed." Myra said nodding her head in agreement.

"Well, we can't do anything. Let's just eat our food quickly so we can get going." Naina said eating her yoghurt.

Myra and Siddharth chatted with each other she was surprised that she and Siddharth had so much in common. Same taste in music and he liked doing photography too. He told her he was from Nagaland. And how his parents shifted to Mumbai after he was born, after Myra told him how she shifted from Delhi, though she didn't tell him the reason, it was embarrassing.

It was so easy to talk to him, she didn't have to think much. The group started talking about activities, they were going to do in the Solang valley.

She looked around and saw Dhruv looking at them, though he looked away when she looked at him. That was awkward.

After their lunch their group headed to Solang valley and they all got settled in the 3 buses lined up.
