Around a year ago, I had gone to my friend’s house with four other friends of mine for our group project. Due to the political instability in the country we could not go home and finally decided to have a sleepover at my friend’s place. The sleepover was not a previously decided one, but we had lots of fun. We played some games, sang some good songs and enjoyed those sweet moments. After dinner it was time to go to bed but none of us were ready to sleep as it was really cold.

But finally we did go to bed and all of us slept for about four hours only. In the cold morning at about 2 am one of my friends woke us all up. Then none of us wanted to sleep again, except one friend who did not wake up at all. The four of us danced the whole night.

We played hide and seek which was really fun. But it disturbed the other family members for which we all felt guilty. We also had some snacks and again started dancing. After sometime we saw a movie and went back to sleep. The next day all of us went back to our homes. This is one of the most memorable moments on my life.
