Alisha's POV:

The morning sun peeked through the curtains, casting a warm glow across my room.

Excitement bubbled within me as I prepared for our second day in Mussoorie.

We had planned a trek for the day, and I couldn't wait to explore the beautiful mountains and immerse myself in nature.

After a quick breakfast with Nandani, we gathered with the group at the hotel lobby.

The morning was crisp, and the air was filled with the scent of pine.

The group was buzzing with anticipation, and Siddhart seemed particularly focused and excited.

Shubham, as usual, was hanging around, trying to make conversation with me. But I kept my distance, not wanting to encourage him.

We set off on our trek, the trail winding through lush green forests and misty mountains.

The journey was breathtaking, with stunning views at every turn.

I made sure to capture the scenery with my camera, snapping photos of the vibrant flora and majestic peaks.

Siddhart was nearby, his presence comforting and reassuring.

He seemed to enjoy the trek as much as I did, and our eyes would often meet, sharing silent moments of appreciation for the beauty around us.

Shubham, on the other hand, kept trying to chat with me, but I deftly steered the conversation towards the trek and the sights we were seeing.

It was clear he wanted more than just friendly interaction, but I focused on the experience rather than his advances.

As we reached the summit, the view was nothing short of magical.

The sky was clear, and we could see for miles around. Everyone cheered and took photos to capture the moment.

Siddhart was standing a little apart from the group, taking in the breathtaking view.

Later, we all rested and enjoyed a packed lunch together.

The atmosphere was lively, filled with laughter and stories of our trek.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment and happiness being here with my friends.

The trek back down was just as beautiful, and by the time we returned to the hotel, we were all exhausted but fulfilled.

The day had been a perfect blend of adventure and tranquility, and I couldn't wait to see what the next day would bring.

As the day turned to dusk, Nandani and I found ourselves back at the hotel, still buzzing from the adventure of the trek.

Nandani, always one for a bit of mischief, had a glint in her eye.

"Alisha, let's sneak out," she whispered, a playful smile on her face.

I laughed, "What are you planning this time, Nandu?"

"Just a little nighttime stroll around the town. Come on, it'll be fun!" she urged.

I hesitated for a moment, thinking about the teachers keeping an eye on us. But the thought of exploring Mussoorie at night was too tempting to pass up.

Nandani's enthusiasm was contagious, and before I knew it, we were tiptoeing out of the hotel, trying our best not to attract attention.

We made our way through the town's winding streets, the cool night air refreshing.
