Location: The Daredevils Arena (TDA), Gaming Lounge
The center of the lounge was filled with rows of gaming PCs and consoles along with comfortable gaming chairs. It featured large screens, keyboards, microphones and high-quality headphones. There was a cafe closely attached to the lounge, where players could enjoy their coffee breaks. The cafe was stacked with snacks and beverages. The place was perfect for gaming enthusiasts and tournaments.
Ishaan: How was the race?
Ayush: As always, Aditya won.
Yuvaan: He is God's favorite child, no doubt. He doesn't get a single scratch on his body.
Maahi: No one can even touch a strand of his hair in the racecourse.
Ishaan(shouted): Yuvaan, look to your left.
Yuvaan tapped on the mouse and keyboard aggressively.
Yuvaan(frustrated): Ahhh....I'm dead.
Ayush: Me too!
Ishaan: Damn! I got shot too.
They closed off their PCs. Yuvaan laughed to himself suddenly and then gave a goofy smile to others.
Yuvaan(smirked): I have a plan.

Saanvi: So, my uncle's operation had just happened, and he was resting in our room. He felt someone was sitting on our cupboard. He thought it was his illusion and ignored it. After few months, my grandmother heard some noise coming from my aunt's room. She thought some construction work was going on but there was no construction going on at that time. Also, my aunt felt a hand on her shoulder while washing dishes, but no one was there.
Kriti: Oh okay!
Manya: Gosh, this is really interesting!
Misha: Then what happened?
Saanvi (creepy tone): One day, no one was there in my house except for me and my grandmother. We were watching television. I saw someone moving inside the house. My grandmother can't walk so I decided to check but no one was there. Surprisingly, he door of my aunt's room was opened, so I closed it.
Manya: I'm getting scared.
Aadya: Ah suspense! I got goosebumps.
Aanya(curiously): I'm excited to know more. Continue!
Saanvi: So, what happened was that my granny woke up in middle of night to take her medicines, then the spirit came out of nowhere and said, "GO BACK TO SLEEP, OLDIE!" She was so scared, but she didn't lose hope.
Kriti: Did your family accidentally summon a ghost or what?
Aadya(shocked): What happened next?
Saanvi: Then, the spirit went back. My grandmother told this to everyone in the morning, but no one believed her. Everything was normal until my cousins saw someone moving around in the house, and they got scared. We left that house after that.
Aanya: I think this much is enough for today. You guys won't be able to go to the washroom at night.
Aadya: Nah, let her complete. What happened to that house?
Everyone looked towards Saanvi attentively. They held their breath in anticipation. They were hooked and lost in her 온라인카지노게임.
Saanvi: The spirit came in my dreams and said....
Yuvaan(shouted): Cheen tapak dum dum!!!!!!
AHHHHHHH!!!!!
The girls shrieked at the top of their lungs. Manya and Kriti jumped at each while trying to catch their breath. Aadya was holding onto her dear life, trembling with fear. Saanvi was on top of Aanya and simultaneously clutched onto Misha tightly. Misha and Aanya tried to calm everyone down.
...
Yuvaan: Nice to meet you all. I'm a ghost! Now, am seeking revenge.
Saanvi(frustrated): You'll become a ghost soon because I'm the one who's gonna kill you.
Yuvaan: You know it better. You're a scary woman. Psycho!
Saanvi: Tell me something new. Will ya'?
Yuvaan: Reminds me of a song. It goes like...Oh she's sweet but a psycho a little bit psycho.....
Saanvi(annoyed): You're so evil!
Yuvaan(smiled): Learnt it from you, master! Btw, she told me the exact same 온라인카지노게임 to scare me. The truth is...it's not even real.
Saanvi: They know that. We were just having fun.
Suddenly, the lights went off.
Manya(stuttered): Uhmm....did the ghost get offended by us? I'm kinda scared.
Kriti: Don't be stupid, Manya. You're making me scared too.
Misha felt a new presence behind her. Fear gripped in her heart. She tried to calm herself down.
Aditya(whispered): It's just me. Don't be scared.
Aadya: Is that you, Aditya?
Yuvaan: Yeah! It's him!
Aditya held Misha's hand as a reassurance. His touch made her nervous and comforted at the same time.
Aditya: I'm here for you.
Saanvi: I'll go look for the candles.
Yuvaan: I'm coming along.
Manya: Aanya, what are you doing? Stop moving around.
Aanya: I'm looking for my phone.
She switched on the flashlight on her phone. Aditya quickly withdrew his hand, but it didn't go unnoticed by Aanya. She smiled internally. Adarsh appeared in the room giving her a jump scare.
Aanya: You're.......
Adarsh: I'm Adarsh. We boys were hanging out nearby. The rest of them left!
Aanya: I see
The lights came back on.
Aadya: It's getting late! We should leave for home.
Kriti: You're right, our parents will get worried.
...
Yuvaan: Aditya and Adarsh have gotten their bikes.
Aanya: Aditya, can you drop off Misha?
Aditya: Sure!
Misha(whispered): Why did you say that?
Aanya (whispered back): It's late! Your parents are strict as well.
Yuvaan: Adarsh, can you drop off Aanya? I'll walk the rest home.
Adarsh: Fine
...
Aadya: Bye Saanvi! See you at school tomorrow!
