"Where were you both?"

Raman and Ishita return back fully drenched.

"Ma'am we went to wash our—Achoo!" Ishita sneezes while Raman makes a face.

"Can't you just shut up your mouth?" Raman asks Ishita, clearly irritated.

"Oh please! I'm just sneezi—Achoo!" Ishita sneezes again while the teacher smacks her forehead.

"What should I do of you both? Well go and change. Now!" The teacher commands and leaves.

They stand there for a minute in silence.

"Well I enjoyed." Raman says breaking the silence.

"Me too!" Ishita blushes a little and together they walk towards their tent where they kept their luggage.

As the day had already faded and the night was about to begin, Ishita decided to take out her sleeping Pajamas.

She opens the zip of her suitcase and pulls out a kitten-printed T-shirt and the same patterned shorts including her inner garments.

Raman pulls out his Black T-shirt along with white pants. He pulls out his inner wears from the suitcase and makes his way out of the tent along with Ishita.

"Where should we change?" Ishita asks.

"Uh. I think we should change inside the tent only. I don't think going inside the forest to change would be a nice idea." Raman suggests looking at the forestry area.

"Yeah right." Ishita nods at him.

"C'mon let's go inside and change." Raman starts walking towards the tent.

"Are we going to change together?" Ishita asks horrified.

"So?" He asks raising his one eyebrow.

"I'm not going to change in front of you." Ishita stomps her feet.

"I'm least interested in watching you change. You're not something special." Raman says clearly irritated by her childish behaviour.

Ishita feels a bit hurt by his last line and walks towards Mihika's tent.

"Where are you going?" Raman asks but Ishita ignores him.

"Hey? Are you listening?" Raman calls out again, confused by her sudden change in behaviour.

Ishita changes inside Mihika's tent while Raman changes inside their tent.

Ishita quickly hangs her wet clothes on the branches of the trees. Raman comes out and walks towards Ishita.

"Ishita? You okay? Did I do something wro–" He was cut off as Ishita walks past him.

He smacks his forehead.

"Everything was going well in this trip. Leave that. Everything was good before she joined our school. I don't know why did she even come. My life was better without her." Raman mutters under his breath and makes his way towards the fire camp.

He sits beside Mihir and Romi and looks at Ishita who was sitting with Mihika, Manya and Shruti. He frowns when he notices their classmate, Vansh sitting beside Ishita with his arm wrapped around her shoulder.

His jaw automatically clenches when he notices how uncomfortable Ishita was under his touch. Raman felt like getting up and throwing him away from Ishita but unfortunately his ego didn't let him.

"Raman!" Mihir shouts for the fifth time and that brings Raman out of his thoughts.

"Uh. Sorry! What were you saying?"

"We were talking about that guy, Vansh who's sitting with our girls!" Mihir fumes in anger when Vansh starts checking out his Mihika.

"Calm down Mih— Wait! Our girls?" Raman frowns with an amused smile on his face.

"Yeah they are our girls. I mean they are our group. Ugh! I mean I like Mihika and Raman you like Ishita. So—"

"I do not like Ishita. You and me, both know it." Raman glares Mihir but he shrugs off.

"Whatever. Don't go on words. Go on emotions." Mihir says dramatically.

"I'll go on words and I don't like Ishita. I feel like why did she even come here—" Raman was cut off by Mihir.

"Hey! Don't say like that. She's good." Mihir defends but Raman ignores him and continues.

"–She always shows attitude towards me. I just told her she's not special and she—"

"You what?!" Mihir exclaims horrified.

"Stop cutting me off!" Raman smack's Mihir's head.

"But this is not a way of talking to someone. Believe it or not. Since Ishita has come you've stopped playing pranks on other children. You are too busy pranking her tho. But at least now many people aren't scared of you."

Raman rolls his eyes at Mihir's words and looks back at Ishita only to see her already looking at him.

Ishita breaks the gaze and starts to get up but Vansh pulls her down. She struggles to get off his hold but he tells her to chill and sit down.

"Can't he see they don't want to be with him?" Romi's voice booms around them. Raman and Mihir nod in agreement.

"Ugh! I'm going to kill that idiot. He better stop touching Ishita. Ishita is like my sister." Romi says clenching his fist while Raman and Mihir look at him surprised.

The rest of the night passes by and Raman notices now Ishita starts feeling comfortable with Vansh.

******

"So you're giving me silent treatment?" Raman asks once they settle their sleeping bags down on the floor.

Hearing no response, Raman sighs frustratedly and gets up.

He turns Ishita towards him by her shoulder and holds her chin to make her look at him.

"I'm sorry. Okay? We made a deal not to create any drama so let it be Truce for the week. Uh. I'm sorry again. I didn't mean to. Umm. You know...hurt you," Raman apologies and Ishita purses up her lips.

"Okay."

"Okay. Okaeeeey"

"I'm sorry too. I forgot about the truce."

Raman grins and Ishita smiles at him.

"Raman. Ishita."

Romi whispers coming inside their tent.

"C'mon out. We're going to play truth and dare."

They nod and follow him.

******

"Okay. So the rules are you'll have to answer or do the task assigned. The task can be of any type so don't say you weren't warned. You can't back off once we start. You will have to do the task no matter what else you'll have to go and scream in the teacher's ear which will wake her up and you know the rest.." Romi smirks at everyone.

"This is not fair. What if the task or question isn't good?" Mihika asks with a worried expression.

"Don't worry ba—Uhu..Uhu..Mihika. I'll make sure know one gives you any difficult task." Mihir says proudly.

While everyone glares him, Mihika lets out a small 'Aww'. Ishita winks at Mihika making her blush.

"So this is the bottle. When we will roll it. The one in who's direction the top is will be the task giver while the one in the bottom direction will be the task taker. Understood?" Raman asks while placing the bottle between their circle.

The circle consisted of Mihika and Mihir who sat side by side and then Raman and Ishita who sat next to Mihika and Mihir and the rest were Romi, Vansh and Shruti.

Vansh tried sitting next to Ishita but Romi and Raman quickly sat beside her leaving no space for him. Raman smirks triumphantly while looking at Vansh who made a face at him.

Raman rolls the bottle and the top points toward Mihir while the bottom towards Shruti.

Mihir smirks and looks at Romi then at Shruti. Romi and Shruti were sort of enemies.

"Shruti. Truth or Dare?" Mihir asks raising his one eyebrow.

"Dare!" Shruti says proudly.

"Okay. I dare you to push Romi into the lake."

Romi's face turns into shocked one while Shruti lets out an evil laugh.

"C'mon. Let's get you into the lake." Shruti pushes Romi but he doesn't budge.

"Okay fine." Shruti takes out her shoe and starts beating Romi. Romi screams and immediately jumps into the lake. Mihir laughs holding his stomach joined by the others.

"I'll see you later." Romi glares Mihir and sits down on the floor fully drenched.

They roll the bottle and it stops with it's top towards Romi and bottom towards Ishita.

Ishita looks at Romi innocently. She was about to say Truth when she hears Raman whispering to Mihir that she would definitely take truth.

"Dare." Ishita says with a slight smirk.

Romi grins and looks at Ishita and Raman.

"So....Your dare is.. You'll have to sit on Raman's lap for the red of the game."

Ishita's eyes widen so does Raman's while Mihir gives a thumbs up to Romi.

"But how will I play the rest game? I mean how will the bottle reach my direction?" Ishita reasons trying to find any loophole in his task.

"If the bottle is in your previous place then it's your turn." Romi smirks. Ishita groans and gets up.

She sits on Raman's lap and making him groan too.

"Fatty." Raman mutters but Ishita ignores him.

The rest of the game passes by with questions and task. Everybody did the given task as they didn't want the witch(The teacher) to wake up by their scream.

The bottom is on Ishita's side an the top on Shruti's.

"So Ishu..." Shruti stops and suppresses her smile.

Ishita looks at Shruti intently so does the rest. Mihir raises an eyebrow at Romi as if asking if he knows what's going on in his enemy's mind but Romi shakes his head in no. Raman frowns while Romi blinks his eyes.

"I dare you to Kiss Raman."
