Part 9
Stephanie and Kripa ran laughing like lunatics. Kripa had just sneaked Stephanie out of her house, they had flat out ran all the way through Stephanie's 30 meter yard and jumped about two walls and three gates, before making it to the car. Kripa sat down in the driver's seat while Stephanie took the passenger's. They were both panting, yet thrill and excitement was clearly visible on both their faces.
"Oh my god Kripa I have never ever had this much fun in my life. "
Kripa smiled the bored look already returning, to her face. She could understand how Stephanie was feeling at the moment, but she had done this way too many times to contain the exhilarated feeling in her for long. It would have been much more fun if someone had seen them, this was almost too easy. But she smiled none the less, reversing the car and driving super speed. While Stephanie held on to her seat tightly fearing being thrown out of the car if she let go. They talked in their short drive about many useless things varying from school to boys. Kripa stopped the car in front of the disco. But then it hit her, this was couples night!! There was no way that two girls would be allowed in the disco; unless they proved to the boy guarding the door that they were both lesbians. Hell no!! Kripa though immediately, there was no way that was happening. She would find a way, she always did.
"Er… Kripa are you sure we are allowed to go in." Stephanie said getting out of the car
"Yes we will, but… you will have to help me."
"Er…ok" Stephanie said shrugging
"Ok then, don't talk and play along with what ever I say no matter how ridiculously insane it might sound."
"Ok" Stephanie said a bit reluctantly.
"Fine. First tell me what you think of my skirt?"
"Um… it looks nice." Stephanie lied
Kripa rolled her eyes, "Tell me what you really think about it."
"Its too short, any shorter and you might not wear anything at all." Stephanie said honestly, expecting Kripa to be mad at her. But she smiled.
"Perfect." She walked towards the door dragging Stephanie with her; she waited until the few couples waiting outside entered. They were alone then Kripa, Stephanie and Stevens—according to the tag on his shirt. Kripa walked on as if she had not even noticed him.
"Er madam. I am afraid I cannot allow you to enter." Stevens said politely yet firmly. He let his eyes travel up and down Kripa. She was probably the hottest chick he had seen today, but rules were rules. Kripa didn't fail to notice his look and it did not make her in anyway uncomfortable. She smiled at him, sexily, yet shyly and innocently at the same time.
"I am so sorry." Kripa said her voice surprising even Stephanie. She seemed on the verge of tears, "I don't mean to party crash but this so important. You see my friend here; her boyfriend is here with another girl. I have to confirm to her that this is true, they are getting married in 2 days if I don't go in today her life will be ruined." Kripa took Stevens hand in hers, "Please you look so sweet and understanding. Help us out." She batted her eyelashes.
One touch from Kripa and Stevens was lost for words he simply nodded.
"So we can go in."
He nodded his head once more, his mouth half open in awe
"Aww thank you so much." Kripa gave him a swift kiss on the cheek and hurried inside, dragging Stephanie with her, leaving Stevens a statue.
Once inside she smirked at Stephanie seeing her impressed made her feel elated, "So how was I?"
She shook her head, "Is there something you can't do?"
Kripa laughed, "Come on Prithvi will be waiting." Kripa dragged Stephanie through the crowd of people dancing—or trying to. She found Prithvi sitting in their usual corner table along with Tarun and his sister Ria. Ria was Kripas very favorite person on the planet. She had known her from Pre-K; they had no secrets between them. Ria knew things that Kripa had never even told her parents.
"Hey RIA!!!" Kripa said giving her a hug, "I thought you wouldn't come."
"You know how I hate noisy crowded place but I had to, haven't seen you like forever." She said giving her a smile
"Ya ya I know, well guys meet my new friend Stephanie." Kripa said pointing at Stephanie. Who shyly waved at all of them, and blushed when Tarun gave her a smile.
"Well Kripa I am glad that you are finally here I have been trying to convince Ria to come dance with me like forever, but no I am just not good enough for her." Prithvi said his mouth pouting in annoyance
Ria rolled her eyes, "Shut up Prithvi, almost any girl in this place would be dying to go with you. I don't know why you are after me you know how I hate dancing." Ria said a bit sharper then she intended. Prithvi could be so annoying at times.
"Go on Ria quit being such a bore."
"Grr… fine, but only one." Prithvi's face brightened up at once as he led her to the dance floor.
Kripa and Stephanie took Ria and Prithvi's seats. It did not take long at all for Kripa to get conversation started between Stephanie and Tarun. And once it got started, it was the end for Kripa. She was totally excluded; it was as if they both didn't even see her.
There was a time when she would have smiled thinking of them as a sweet couple but now she was simply annoyed. It was just a reminder of something she didn't have. She left them and went to go get drinks for herself. She doubted that they had even noticed. They were just too engrossed in each other.
For Kripa it was one drink after another. She was on her 4th or 5th when she noticed Angad Khanna dancing, enjoying himself, his hands wrapped around the waist of another girl with a skirt only slightly longer then her own. This was tops for Kripa after the Justin incident and enduring Tarun and Stephanie, this was just too much.
First of all he was with another girl, second he was happy, third of all she was still pissed at him and fourth of all she was drunk. There was probably nothing that justified her action but then she was not in the right frame of mind to reason. She got up off the stool that she had been sitting on, wobbling slightly as she made her way towards Angad. She touched his shoulders. He turned around shocked at seeing Kripa in front of him.
That was when Kripa totally lost it; she started singing in the loudest possible voice, "I LOVE YOU…YOU LOVE ME…WE ARE A BIG HAPPY FAMILY WITH A GREAT BIG HUG AND A KISS FROM ME TO YOU. I LOVE YOU AND YOU LOVE ME TOO. I LOVE YOU... YOU LOVE...." Everything went quite it was only Kripa screechy voice half singing, half yelling the Barney song.
All of Kripa's friends just stood there no one wanting to associate themselves with the "crazy girl", and Angad looked at her Awestruck, with his mouth half open not knowing weather to laugh or to cry. While the girl that had been dancing with him backed away a few steps, truly scared. This slight movement was enough to provoke Kripa even more; she glared at the girl angrily.
"Ya b**** that's my husband, don't you dare come near him!!" The girl got so scared that she pretty much ran out of the place. Kripa took a step forward wanting to chase her out but wobbled slightly fainting. Angad caught her just in time waking up from his 1 stage of shock: denial; accepting that this was really happening and was not some random nightmare.
