"Game on"

In the evening...

(The scene is set in a cosy living room, with Aarav and Sarah sitting on a couch together. They are playing a game of Truth or Dare with their friends, who are all seated around them.)

Sarah: (smiling mischievously) Okay, Aarav, you chose Truth. Here's your question:

(Sarah pauses for dramatic effect)

Sarah: If I say I like you, what would be your answer?

(The room falls silent, with all eyes on Aarav. Aarav looks at Sarah, his heart racing with excitement.)

Aarav: (smiling) Yes.

(The room erupts in cheers and applause, with their friends teasing them about their obvious feelings for each other.)

Sarah: (laughing) I knew it!

Aarav: (smiling) What can I say? I'm an honest guy.

(Sarah playfully rolls her eyes and hits Aarav on the arm. The game continues, but the tension between Aarav and Sarah is palpable.)

(The scene ends with Aarav and Sarah exchanging flirtatious glances, their friends cheering them on in the background.)

(Aarav and Sarah are still sitting on the couch, smiling at each other. Their friends are still cheering and teasing them in the background.)

Sarah: (smiling) Okay, now that we've established our feelings for each other...

Aarav: (laughing) Yeah, I guess we should exchange numbers.

Sarah: (smiling) Exactly. (Sarah pulls out her phone and hands it to Aarav.) Put your number in.

(Aarav takes Sarah's phone and starts typing in his number. Sarah watches him, smiling.)

Aarav: (handing the phone back to Sarah) Done.

Sarah: (smiling) Great. Now, let's follow each other on social media.

Aarav: (laughing) You're fast, aren't you?

Sarah: (smiling) Hey, when you know, you know. (Sarah pulls out her phone and starts typing away.) What's your Instagram handle?

Aarav: (smiling) It's @Aarav23.

Sarah: (smiling) Okay, I'm following you. (Sarah hands her phone to Aarav.) Check.

(Aarav takes Sarah's phone and checks her Instagram profile. He smiles when he sees her profile picture.)

Aarav: (smiling) Nice profile picture.

Sarah: (laughing) Thanks. I think you're pretty cute yourself.

(Aarav and Sarah exchange flirtatious smiles, their friends cheering them on in the background.)

(The scene ends with Aarav and Sarah sitting together on the couch, smiling at each other and holding their phones.)

(The party comes to an end, and Aarav and Sarah say their goodbyes to their friends. They walk out of the house together, smiling at each other.)

Aarav: (smiling) I had a great time tonight.

Sarah: (smiling) Me too. I'm so glad we met.

Aarav: (smiling) Yeah, me too.

(They stand outside Sarah's car, lingering for a moment.)

Aarav: (smiling) I'll talk to you soon.

Sarah: (smiling) Definitely.

(Sarah gets into her car and drives away. Aarav watches her go, smiling to himself.)

(Cut to Aarav's bedroom. He's lying on his bed, scrolling through his phone. He sees Sarah's Instagram profile and smiles.)

Aarav: (to himself) I'm so glad we exchanged numbers.

(He starts typing out a message to Sarah on Instagram.)

Aarav: (typing) Hey, just wanted to say thanks again for tonight. I had a blast.

(He sends the message and waits for Sarah's response.)

(Cut to Sarah's bedroom. She's lying on her bed, scrolling through her phone. She sees Aarav's message and smiles.)

Sarah: (to herself) He's so cute.

(She starts typing out a response to Aarav.)

Sarah: (typing) Aw, thanks! I had a great time too. Can't wait to see you again.

(She sends the message and waits for Aarav's response.)

(The scene ends with Aarav and Sarah chatting back and forth on Instagram, smiling to themselves as they talk.)
