Siddhart's POV:

*Next Day*

I woke up with a sense of anticipation, knowing that today was the day of the quiz contest.

Rushing through my morning routine, I made sure to grab a quick breakfast before heading off to college a little earlier than usual.

She looked radiant in a cute outfit, her smile adding to her charm. Seeing her so focused yet so effortlessly beautiful made my heart skip a beat.

As we rode to the contest venue, Alisha sat beside me, her presence both comforting and nerve-wracking.

She looked so focused, revising her notes with determination, while I couldn't seem to concentrate on anything but her.

I stole glances at her when I thought she wasn't looking, admiring the way her eyes sparkled with intelligence and her smile lit up her face.

But every time our eyes met, I quickly looked away, feeling a blush creeping up my cheeks.

I tried to focus on the upcoming quiz, but my mind kept drifting back to Alisha.

Her presence beside me was both exhilarating and intimidating, and I couldn't shake off the nervousness that gripped me.

But despite my jittery nerves, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to spend this time with her, even if it was just a bus ride to a quiz contest.

As we arrived at the contest venue, the sight of numerous students from different colleges filled me with a sense of anticipation.

Each one seemed confident, ready to take on the challenge ahead. Alisha and I exchanged encouraging smiles, silently promising to give our best.

Round after round, we tackled the questions thrown at us with determination.

Despite the pressure, we remained focused, supporting each other every step of the way.

Finally, we advanced to the final round, where Alisha was called upon to answer a pivotal question.

The judges posed the question, and Alisha listened intently before delivering her response with unwavering confidence.

Deep down, I felt a surge of certainty that she had gotten it right. When the judges confirmed her answer as correct, Alisha couldn't contain her happiness. She leaped up in excitement, enveloping me in a quick hug.

Feeling her embrace, a rush of emotions washed over me. My heart pounded in my chest, and goosebumps erupted across my skin at the electrifying sensation of her touch. It was a moment I would never forget, etched in my memory forever.

As we traveled back to college with the prize in hand, the bus was alive with jubilant chatter and laughter. Alisha and I sat side by side, basking in the glow of our victory.

"Can you believe we did it?" Alisha exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"I knew we could do it," I replied, unable to contain my grin. "You were amazing out there."

Alisha blushed at the compliment, her smile widening. "Thanks, but I couldn't have done it without you. You were a great partner."

"It was teamwork," I insisted, feeling a sense of pride swell within me.

As we approached the college campus, the excitement only seemed to grow.

Students cheered and clapped as we disembarked from the bus, proudly displaying our trophy.

Alisha and I exchanged high-fives, reveling in the sense of accomplishment.

"We make a pretty good team," Alisha remarked, her voice tinged with satisfaction.

"We sure do," I agreed, feeling a surge of gratitude for the opportunity to share this experience with her.

*In Evening*

The day had been exhausting, filled with the excitement and tension of the quiz contest, but now, in the quiet of the evening, I finally had a moment to relax.

As I sat with my cup of tea, I noticed Alisha's message notification blinking on my phone screen.

It had been there for a couple of hours, and I realized I hadn't checked it yet. Curious to see what she had to say, I opened the message.

Alisha: Premmm, you know what? I won the quiz contest!"

I couldn't help but smile at her enthusiasm, and I quickly typed out a reply.

Me: That's amazing, Alisha! Congratulations! I knew you'd rock it🎉😌"

As I hit send, I imagined her reaction to my message, picturing her with that bright smile of hers.
