Aditi, with her braided hair bouncing, sprinted across the playground, her eyes glinting with excitement. She tagged Rahul lightly on the shoulder, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. "You're it!" she shouted, darting away with nimble feet.
Rahul, determined to catch Aditi, zigzagged through the crowd, his laughter echoing around him. Nearby, Meera and Vikram sat on the pavement, chalk in hand, creating vibrant drawings of flowers and stars. "Look, Vikram, I've drawn a rainbow!" [@ch_3]Meera[/@ch_3_d] exclaimed, her eyes reflecting the colors she’d brought to life.
[@ch_4]Vikram[/@ch_4_d] admired [@ch_3]Meera's[/@ch_3_d] artwork, adding his own touch with a chalk sun. "What if we draw a whole world here?" he suggested, his imagination taking flight. "Yes! And let’s give everyone a name," [@ch_3]Meera[/@ch_3_d] agreed, already pondering the possibilities.
Aditi joined Meera and Vikram, her cheeks flushed from running. "Let's make a story about a magical garden," she proposed, her eyes sparking with ideas. Rahul, finally catching up, plopped down beside them, nodding eagerly. "And let's have talking animals!" he added, his enthusiasm infectious.
The group of friends imagined dragons and fairies, knights and explorers, each character brought to life with every colorful stroke of chalk. [@ch_4]Vikram[/@ch_4_d] sketched a castle, while [@ch_3]Meera[/@ch_3_d] added a dragon soaring above it. [@ch_1]Aditi[/@ch_1_d] and [@ch_2]Rahul[/@ch_2_d] contributed with tales of bravery and friendship.
As they headed back to class, Meera[/@ch_3_d] looked back at their chalk drawings, a smile on her face. "Let’s continue our story tomorrow," she suggested. [@ch_1]Aditi, Rahul, and Vikram nodded in agreement, their minds already dreaming of the next adventure.
