Jared, Josias, Bryan, and Michael were engaged in an intense battle in the video game console at Jared and Josias’ house. After a while, they began to grow bored and started to discuss over what their next activity should be. It was 7 pm at the time, with their parents were chatting in the living room. The four friends decided to sneak out to the backyard to play hide and seek, knowing the parents wouldn’t approve of them going outdoors at night. Jared volunteered to be the seeker, and so the rest of them went out to hide in the dense forest. After counting to 100, he went out to go look for them. After about 20 minutes passed, he decided to give up, for it was getting really dark outside. He yelled out, “Okay guys, you win!” There was no response, so he yelled again, “You can come out now!” Still, nobody answered. Jared assumed they were simply playing around, trying to scare him. “I’m going inside and unless you want to sleep outside, I’d suggest you join me!”, he called out. He turned to go back inside, but could not find his home. Realization hit, and he knew he was lost.

use the same story but make it sound better. just dont change the order of the words if you know what Im trying to say.

Jared, Josias, Bryan, and Michael were deeply engrossed in a fierce battle on the video game console at Jared and Josias’ house. As the intensity of the game began to wane, they started to discuss their next activity. The clock struck 7 pm and their parents were engaged in conversation in the living room. The four friends decided to sneak out to the backyard to play hide and seek, fully aware that their parents wouldn’t approve of being outside at night. Jared selflessly offered to be the seeker, while the others scurried into the dense forest to find hiding spots. After counting to 100, Jared set out to find them. After a fruitless search that lasted about 20 minutes, he gave up in the darkness and called out, “You win, guys!” But there was no response. He tried again, “You can come out now!” Still, the forest remained silent. Jared grew uneasy, thinking they were trying to play a trick on him. “I’m heading inside. If you want to avoid sleeping outside, I suggest you come with me!” he called out. However, as he turned to return to the house, he realized he was lost in the wilderness. Panic and fear gripped him as he knew he had no idea how to find his way back home.

do the story again but a little different wording

Jared, Josias, Bryan, and Michael were in the midst of an intense gaming session on the console at Jared and Josias' place. As their interest began to dwindle, they deliberated on what to do next. The clock struck 7 pm, and their parents were engaged in conversation in the adjacent living room. Despite knowing that their parents wouldn't approve of venturing outside at night, the quartet decided to sneak out to the backyard for a game of hide and seek. Jared gallantly volunteered to be the seeker, and his friends scurried off into the dense forest to conceal themselves. After counting to 100, Jared embarked on his quest to find them. However, after an exhaustive search lasting approximately 20 minutes, he conceded defeat in the encroaching darkness and called out, "Alright, you win, guys!" The forest remained eerily quiet, with no response to his beckoning. Jared attempted once more, "You can come out now!" Still met with silence, he surmised that his friends might be trying to spook him. "I'm heading back inside. Unless you want to spend the night outdoors, I suggest you join me!" he declared. Turning to make his way back to the house, Jared suddenly realized that he was disoriented and lost in the labyrinthine woods. A shiver of fear ran down his spine as he comprehended the gravity of his situation, stranded and alone in the enveloping darkness.
